Bearbrick 400% is a beautiful art toy to have, no matter what version you have. They're noticeable on a shelf but unlike the Bearbrick 1000% they won't take too much space in your place. The biggest reason for the increase in popularity with Bearbricks is the sneaker culture community.
BEARBRICK 400
The debate is between the 200% or the 400% being the most popular Bearbrick size because they're sizeable enough to notice but not big enough where you'd have to reserve some space in your place for them. Though some would argue this and say 400% is the most popular size to have because 200% is on the smaller size. It's all about personal preference!

Bearbrick x Haroshi
Bearbrick is an art form that celebrates pop-culture. Toy collection is less enjoyable when you have to predict how aftermarket prices will rise.
If you are only interested in it for the money, however, you should keep up to date with art market trends. Do your research on the Bearbricks you are interested in buying. Find out why. Determine the scarcity. Be aware of prices and valuations.
