Medicom – Detail Artistry from Tokyo
In Japan, Medicom Toy has been one of the most respected names in collector figures since the nineties. The company from Tokyo became internationally known mainly for two inventions: the UDF line – Ultra Detail Figure – which turns characters from film, comics, and anime into compact, finely painted mini figures, and the BE@RBRICK, that bear-shaped collectible figure that has appeared in countless design variants since 2001 and collected collaborations with artists and fashion brands alike. The common thread: precision. At Elbenwald you'll find a selection of Medicom figures for brands like Nightmare Before Christmas, the Peanuts, and current anime hits – pieces for collectors who'd rather look closely than stack high.
What does Medicom stand for?
The art of the small format. A UDF mini figure often measures less than twelve centimeters and still captures fabric folds, facial expressions, and accessories true to the original – hence the name Ultra Detail Figure. The compact format has practical advantages: the figures take up little space, can be grouped into scenes, and grow into small ensembles with every series. Once you've placed Jack Skellington next to Sally, you usually want Oogie Boogie too. At the same time, Medicom serves the other side of the display case with statues: elaborate standalone pieces with a big entrance. Dimensions, material, and details of each individual piece are listed on its respective product page – you already know the collecting logic by now.

Across the range
The starting point is the figures – from the UDF mini figure to the scale figure with real display-case ambition. Franchise fans can head straight for their world: Nightmare Before Christmas for the Pumpkin King and his entourage, Peanuts for Snoopy at his best, Oshi no Ko for the current anime crop.
