Chapter 215 Toy Display Continued
In modern society, most toy figures are made of resin.
Resin has many remarkable features, it is light in weight and easy to carry and place;
It is highly plastic and can highly restore various complex shapes, so as to better show the delicate details of the figures, whether it is the hair of the characters or the texture of the clothes.
Whether it is the decoration of weapons, they can all be presented accurately.
However, master sculptors are often able to make up for the lack of expressiveness in other materials.
With their superb skills, they can highlight the expressions and movements of the carved toys, and depict the emotions of the characters and the agility and liveliness of the animals vividly.
Even though they are not made of resin, after they are carefully carved and painted, they are almost indistinguishable from modern resin figures.
However, this purely manual carving method also has obvious disadvantages, which is that it is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
It requires the sculptor to invest a lot of time and energy, from the initial design concept to the careful carving of each stroke, and the output is extremely low.
At present, the country still lacks relevant technologies in the production of resin toy figures.
However, this can be regarded as an important project for the later development of Qingdao Publishing House.
Judging from market demand and development trends, this project has huge potential.
It can be said to be an inevitable trend in the development of subsequent toy figures, as it has strong plasticity and can be mass-produced.
At present, everyone's impression of toys is still on relatively simple model toys.
Traditional toys that lack vivid expressions and movements can no longer meet people's increasingly high aesthetic needs.
This kind of dynamic and lifelike toy carved by the master is the first time for everyone to see it.
It is precisely because of this that everyone showed great interest.
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic mood, Jiang Weimin smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"We'll talk about the order later. Our main purpose today is to showcase the product! After the showcase, we'll discuss the order status."
"Jiang, if you have any toys, show them to me!"
Jiang Weimin took out the plush toys made from the characters in Kung Fu Panda.
"This is a toy we made based on the characters in Kung Fu Panda. You can take a look."
The Kung Fu Panda toys are cute in shape and bright in color, completely recreating the appearance in the comic strip, with every detail handled very well.
China already had various animal plush toys for export in the 70s.
Seeing these cute plush toys, everyone became interested again.
"Jiang, you are not only good at drawing comics, but also excellent at making toys."
Jiang Weimin smiled proudly when he heard everyone's praise. He cleared his throat and began to explain in detail the production process of these toys.
“Our team put a lot of effort into making these toys.
From the first draft to the final product, every link has been repeatedly considered and polished, striving to restore the most realistic character image.
During the production process, the craftsmen were meticulous and used their superb skills to achieve perfection in every detail. "
Jiang Weimin smiled with satisfaction when he heard everyone's praises. He then cleared his throat and began to introduce the production process of these toys.
The audience listened with great interest and gave bursts of praise from time to time. Some of the audience stared at the toys with their eyes full of amazement and love.
"Jiang, how much is the purchase price of Kung Fu Panda plush toys?" someone asked impatiently.
Jiang Weimin smiled and replied: "The small one is 25 dollars each, and the large one is 45 dollars each."
As soon as these words were spoken, a heated discussion broke out at the scene.
People were whispering to each other, discussing the reasonableness of the price.
Some were silently calculating the costs and profits in their minds, while others were discussing their views on the price with their companions.
Jiang Weimin watched the discussion quietly, feeling a little nervous. The price was chosen after careful consideration, and considering the influence of the comic strip, it was a bit too high.
After a while, the discussion died down, and Jiang Weimin relaxed when he saw that everyone had no objection to the price.
Then they moved on to the next step. Jiang Weimin cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Next, we will present the most important product of this exhibition."
As he spoke, the staff carefully moved several exhibits covered with red cloth onto the display stand.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it. After seeing the exquisite wood carvings and the cute Kung Fu Panda plush toys, everyone had great expectations for the toys that were finally displayed.
"Jiang, please uncover it quickly! I can't wait any longer." Someone urged anxiously.
Jiang Weimin looked at everyone's curious and anxious eyes, and his heart was full of anticipation. He walked forward slowly and gently held a corner of the red cloth.
Under the gaze of everyone, he suddenly peeled off the red cloth, and the toys appeared before everyone.
There are four characters in total, large, medium and small, and each of them exudes a strong metallic temperament.
Everyone was amazed again when they looked at the character toys of the Monkey King comics on the booth.
The exquisite shape, realistic details and shining metal texture seem to bring people into a fantasy mythical world.
"It's so cool. I feel like readers in our country definitely need a toy like this."
Someone exclaimed sincerely, his eyes full of excitement and desire.
Others nodded in agreement, as if they had already seen these toys becoming very popular in the market.
"Don't worry, I'll show you the details of our toys."
Jiang Weimin said with a smile and picked up a Monkey King toy.
Jiang Weimin then began to manipulate the toy, gently fiddling with the Monkey King's body, demonstrating the flexibility of its joints.
"Everyone, take a good look. The metal toy we designed this time has movable body joints and can be put into various poses."
Jiang Weimin explained while operating the toy.
As he moved, the Monkey King seemed to come alive, sometimes waving his golden cudgel, sometimes making fighting gestures. His agile appearance was amazing.
"Jiang, I want to order 2000 of each of these toys!" a customer shouted impatiently.
Jiang Weimin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry."
Then, in front of everyone, he disassembled the Monkey King into pieces.
Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, not knowing what Jiang Weimin was up to.
“Our toys not only move, but can also be assembled manually.”
As Jiang Weimin spoke, he quickly reassembled the Monkey King toy.
His movements were skillful and smooth, as if he was performing a wonderful show.
Everyone looked at Jiang Weimin's actions with their eyes wide open and faces full of disbelief.
This toy designed by Jiang Weimin is a revolutionary toy product.
You have to know that Transformers were not released until 1984, but this Monkey King toy showed advanced creativity and design concepts in many aspects.
It not only has movable joints, but can also be assembled manually, which undoubtedly brings new experience and fun toy lovers.
Everyone seemed to have seen the craze that this toy had created in the market, and their hearts were filled with anticipation and excitement.
