To put it simply, figures are works of art like toys. What do you think of figures?

First of all, this kind of handicraft is not a toy, not a handicraft, not something for children to play with, nor something that can be bought casually. It is something that only people in a limited circle will love and enjoy. When buying things, this circle is the ACG circle. (The collective name for animation, comics, and light novels) is also called the two-dimensional circle. To put it simply, a figure is an animation peripheral, a derivative product of animation

In terms of type, it can be regarded as a model or sculpture, or it can also be regarded as a toy or decoration. The specific situation depends on how you view it. It has multiple attributes and no particular official definition.

In the final analysis, a figure is actually a dimension-breaking derivative expression of an anime. Many people like a certain figure mainly because they like a certain character. Just like I had a friend here before who would only buy figures based on characters. As long as they belong to the character he likes, he will buy them no matter what kind of figures they are, as long as they are available, available and affordable. That's it, no other considerations.

So this kind of person is completely character-controlled. In fact, what he likes is not the figure, but this anime or the character in this anime. In his opinion, the figure is the character. The projection that can accompany you after breaking through the dimension is essentially the same as a pillow or a hanging painting. It is just that the figure is more three-dimensional and feels more real. What do you think of figurines?

Many comic fans like a certain character so they will buy a figurine of that character as a kind of memory and for decoration. Different people have different views on figures. Some people think buying figures is pointless and not worth it. What I think is worth not only refers to the material value, but also the other values ??attached to them (companionship, encouragement, etc.). For some figurine fans, they are more than just a toy or a model. They can give me far more than most people. Only when they are alone with themselves can they truly relax and feel happy. . What is the value of the figure? A figure is a process from zero to one by the designer. It goes through a series of work such as material selection, design, modeling, shaping, polishing, painting, etc. During this period, it also undergoes countless modifications and confirmations. The pursuit of perfect details also makes this part of the work extremely long and arduous, and may take several months to several years. What a figure carries is a kind of sustenance for the character

For a specific group, its value is inestimable. Just like those high-end watches, the value of the watch itself is for checking the time, but high-end watches are more like a symbol, a status symbol, and high-end people need them to show their status. Perhaps in the eyes of the public, spending millions to buy a watch is a waste, but for those who need them, these watches are symbols and essential items for entering upper class society. High-end watches are in demand, and even Its demand value exceeds its own fixed value.
