Story
In 2013, a cynical scientist and his grandson changed animation forever. These bookends were likely part of a limited 'Loot Crate' mystery box, designed to make it look like Rick is crashing through your library.
Maker / Origin
While the specific factory is unnamed, these were produced during the height of the Rick and Morty 'merch-splosion.' They represent the transition of Adult Swim from a niche cable block to a global licensing powerhouse.
Condition & Value
The paint on Rick's face appears slightly weathered or dusty, and there is a thrift store adhesive label on the back. No major chips are visible, which is vital for resin pieces. Condition is average for a loose collectible. Value is driven by the 'complete set' factor; single bookends sell for significantly less than the pair.

Market Analysis
Comparable demand stays strongest where maker, originality, and venue confidence line up. Broader examples still trade, but the range tightens quickly when provenance, condition, or selling lane fit is missing.
Value Drivers
- ▲ Strong maker attribution with credible period details
- ▲ Better-than-average condition for the category
- ▲ Broader demand rises when presentation and finish feel intact
Concerns
- ▼ Decorative-only demand limits the ceiling
- ▼ Surface wear or missing provenance can compress the range fast
- ▼ Regional sale lanes often underperform specialist venues
