Background

Figurines are high-precision, small-sized sculptures crafted based on characters from anime, movies, TV shows, and games. They are derivative merchandise associated with anime, movies, and games, representing virtual characters in physical form in real life. The figurine industry has matured significantly in Japan and the United States, becoming a substantial cultural market. In the U.S., revenue from Hollywood Disney movie merchandise accounts for 73% of the film's earnings, surpassing the film itself. In the comprehensive anime industry chain, a diverse range of anime merchandise continues to sell at Disney's global stores and theme parks. Today, the domestic film, anime, and gaming markets in China have experienced substantial growth and show no signs of slowing down. It can be said that the future of the domestic figurine industry in China is vast and promising. The self-service IoT solution for figurines introduces new technologies to stimulate the industry's development and expand avenues and channels for figurine sales.
