Handmade is the expression of otaku culture. Why is it so expensive?

For fans of Dead House, it is a very happy thing to have a set of hand-made animations that they like. But its high price makes many people only dare to ignore it and dare not play.

What is handmade? Hand-made, a magical word, was originally used to refer to all human figures or other object models. In the context of the continuous development of animation culture, the word hand-made has gradually become ACG's special reference to role prototype. Although many people mentioned the word handmade, the first impression was that it was surprisingly expensive. Generally, handmade works start at 5600 yuan, and better handmade works can cost thousands a minute. Such an expensive price makes ordinary netizens very confused now. Why is it so expensive? Just because the otaku's money is easy to cheat?

One of the expensive things about manual production is that the resin raw material itself is very expensive, and the other is that the production process is complex, and manual production requires a series of long and complicated processes. On the other hand, it is not only necessary, but also far less important than eating, drinking and having fun, but it is also the reason why I am very happy. Even if it is expensive, many collectors buy it, which shows that people are getting richer and richer, so they will buy it.

In hand-made production, it is the most basic premise to obtain the copyright of the original role first. Even the originality of others has never been authorized, and even making it is illegal. And when buying copyright, you need to spend a lot of copyright fees. Of course, this cost should be charged to the end consumer.

You also need to hire a designer to make a prototype. The more skilled the prototype designer, the higher the cost, and the same thing, the same cost also needs consumers to pay the bill.

After finishing the prototype, we began to make molds. The more complex the role, the higher the requirements for the mold. The service life of the mold is also limited. After basically 100 times, the mold should be redone, otherwise the wear will make the hand-made things defective. Note that there are also many fees here. Similarly, are they buyers or consumers?

Color in manual production is a highly technical link, and the colorist needs to have a certain artistic foundation. But to do it completely by hand, as long as anything involves the word "pure hand", the cost will inevitably "rub" on the Internet. The above production process is complicated and the cost is high, which should be the main reason for the high price of manual production, but there are some other secondary reasons, which we will continue to analyze.

As far as the collection of handicrafts is concerned, its value cannot be measured only by materials or production costs. To give the simplest example, a vase in the Tang Dynasty, even though it has been handed down to this day, is only made of pottery, and the production cost is not high.

Worth collecting.

Up to now, its own value is not only the precipitation of history and culture, but also the inheritance of ancient culture by modern humans. Therefore, its spiritual significance is greater, and it is equally important to make it by hand. In addition to the above reasons, there are some well-known factors that keep the price of handmade products high. Buy at a low price and sell when there is no market. This is "speculation". The method is not clever, but it has little impact on the head office market.

I like to do it first, but I can't stop buying it when I get into the pit. It is also more like a feeling, a love for two-dimensional animation. Just like One Piece, you won't be happy to see the fourth gear flying around, will you? At the same time, we should also "protect" the handwork to prevent it from being damaged by Xiong Haizi or brought back to our home by Xiong Haizi.

With the rise of our domestic animation, our domestic animation is also very delicate and exquisite.
