<p><span>Cute, comical and highly collectable, vinyl figures are a consumer and merchandiser’s dream. But what’s the secret of a successful toy and how do new designers break into this exclusive market?</span></p>
<div id="content_div_518680">
<p>Blame the Japanese if you want: it was their love of ‘cuteness’ or Kawaii in the local parlance that gave birth to characters such as Astro Boy and Sanrio’s Hello Kitty. Japan’s obsession with comics (manga) and cartoons (anime) produced a dizzying array of superheroes, crime fighters, samurai sword wielding schoolgirls, robots and cute animals, and it didn’t take long for many of these characters to be turned into bright, colourful plastic toys and other merchandise such as fabric toys and fridge magnets.</p>
<div id="content_div_7968"><!-- begin ad tag  (tile=3) --> // &lt;![CDATA[<br />

// ]]&gt;  &amp;lt;a href=&#8221;http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/fut.gb.arts/indepth;pos=1;tile=3;sz=300&#215;250;ord=123456789?&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=&#8221;http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/fut.gb.arts/indepth;pos=1;tile=3;sz=300&#215;250;ord=123456789?&#8221; width=&#8221;300&#8243; height=&#8221;250&#8243; border=&#8221;0&#8243; alt=&#8221;"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; <!-- End ad tag --></div>
<p>The popularity in the West of Japanese shows such as <em>Transformers</em> and <em>Battle of the Planets</em> (originally <em>Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman</em>), which were required viewing for young kids in the 80s, brought anime into the collective consciousness of a new generation, a generation that was ultimately going to grow up holding on to a love of robots in disguise and Japanese kitsch.</p>
<p>The influence of <em>Star Wars</em> should also not be underestimated. George Lucas’s uncanny knack of recognising a merchandising opportunity when it kicked him in the seat of the pants meant that every cool kid possessed miniature vinyl likenesses of Darth Vader and Chewbacca. As the years went by, the <em>Star Wars</em> figures became collectables, with huge sums being paid for pristine toys still in their original packaging. In short, the market for adult toys had arrived.</p>
<p>Today, adult vinyl toys are a massive industry, particularly popular among creatives, as any glance along their studio shelves will attest.</p>
<p><strong>What’s the appeal?<br />
</strong>Kidrobot President Paul Budnitz, whose company makes some of the coolest vinyl figures around, such as the Dunny series, feels that the toys are popular because “they are amazing, beautiful works of art.” Jon Burgerman, a recent entrant into the world of toys with his own new range of figures, takes a slightly more cynical view: “I guess the toys also speak the language of merchandise, product tie-ins, plastic giraffes in cereal boxes – things we are programmed to get excited by from a very early age.” On a brighter note, he also suggests: “We want to peel certain characters off the page and play with them; see what they look like from different angles and try and get them to pose in suggestible positions.” He adds – making the toy sellers’ collective heart jump for joy – “The clever thing about little vinyl toys is that the more you have, the better they all start to look.”</p>
<p>It’s certainly not enough to own a single toy: there seems to be an urge to keep buying figures, occasionally turning an innocent hobby into something more akin to a crack habit. And as fast as we can buy them, the toy manufacturers are creating new figures, variations and limited editions to feed it.</p>
<p>This has led to accusations that the market is too saturated. Russell Waterman from Amos Toys, who produce James Jarvis’s In Crowd figures, reckons: “Some of the platform toy stuff is a cynical attempt to extort as much cash as possible from the put-upon punter.” Jon Burgerman agrees: “I think there is a slight whiff of cynicism when companies release the same figures too many times. It’s like the episode of <em>The Simpsons</em> when there’s a new Malibu Stacey doll released and someone says, ‘It looks just the same as the old Malibu Stacey’ and then someone else says ‘but she’s got a new hat!’ and all the fans stampede to the shop to buy one. It’s funny because it’s true.”</p>
<p>Ultimately, the punters themselves will decide. An expanding market, according to Hong Kong toy designer Eric So, has created more opportunities for newcomers to join in. “I guess it depends on why they want to join the market,” he says. “If they’re afraid of competition and worry about market saturation, they may not succeed. If they want to join in because they want to realise their dreams, there are opportunities everywhere.”</p>
<p><strong>New designs<br />
</strong>That newcomer could be you, but the process of creating vinyl figures is shrouded in mystery. It goes without saying that the starting point should be a new and novel design, a character that will stand out from the crowd. Then you have to try and catch the eye of a toy manufacturer, such as Kidrobot or Flying Cat, and persuade online stores, shops and distributors such as Playlounge and Ningyoushi to stock your figures. It’s a long and expensive process. “Research is the key,” caution Mike and Katie from Sheffield-based design team TADO, adding that “a great resource for information on making toys and custom projects are the messageboards on sites like kidrobot.com and vinylabuse.com.”</p>
<p>Having decided to manufacture a figure, there are several options available to you, the simplest of which is to draw your figure from as many angles as you can and let the factory work it out. This works well for Mike and Katie as well as Nathan Jurevicius from ScaryGirl, but sometimes, says Tado, “stuff which looked good on paper simply doesn’t work in 3D.”</p>
<p><strong>Model making</strong><br />
Jon Burgerman sidesteps this problem by getting a friend to build 3D models in <em>Maya</em> to assist the visualisation process. But he concedes that the real stars are the people in the factory who took his drawings (front, sides and back) and created the sculpt.</p>
<p>Eric So goes one stage further and creates the sculpts himself, although that level of craft might be beyond most people. Eric emphasises the importance of a good relationship with the manufacturer which allows him to “keep pushing them to test new techniques and materials in order to keep up with demand and to keep our designs at a high quality.”</p>
<p>Once the sculpts have been made and approved, the figures are painted and another round of approvals and corrections is conducted. Once the paint has been agreed, the paint masks and moulds are produced and the vinyl toys can start rolling off the production line. The process is rather slow, often quoted as six months from conception to the figures appearing in stores. This includes a month on a boat from China, which is where most of the figures are made. TADO has had toys turned around in a matter of weeks, but Eric So’s ‘hobby’ projects can take up to ten years of refinement before he considers them finished!</p>
<p>If all this seems time consuming, expensive and laborious, there are alternatives. Product lines such as Qee and Kidrobot’s Dunny are essentially blanks that can be painted any number of ways and regular competitions and exhibitions are held to showcase new talent. Some of the designs end up as actual toys, so it’s always worthwhile seeing if there is an event you can contribute to.</p>
<p>It’s possible to create small runs of figures by modelling them in polymer clay, casting them in resin rather than having them injection-moulded or rotocast in vinyl, and painting them with enamel paint. <a href="http://figurepunk.com/">http://figurepunk.com</a> has an excellent tutorial on creating toys in this fashion.</p>
<p><strong>3D printing<br />
</strong>Plush toys – toys made out of fabric rather than plastic, such as those from FriendsWithYou, One Huge Eye and David Horvath, and Sun-Min Kim’s Uglydolls – are quick, easy and cheap to produce. But perhaps the way of the future is harnessing the power of 3D printers, already used in product design for prototyping.</p>
<p>3D Printing (or 3DP) is set to become mainstream. It works like an inkjet printer using a travelling head to deposit a fine powder which is fixed with a water-based adhesive. Some machines use polymer resins (instead of powder) which harden in the air or are cured by UV light. Printers from the likes of Dimension 3D Printing and Z Corporation are getting cheaper by the day, while their colour capabilities and material strength are increasing.</p>
<p>Although not for everyone – as the results are tied to being output from CAD or 3D applications and the technology is currently cost-prohibitive for individuals – it’s not difficult to imagine that in the not-too- distant future toys will be distributed as 3D files on the web to be downloaded and run off in small numbers. It might be as easy as printing a PDF, but don’t hold your breath, because it won’t be happening in the short-term. Until that time, perhaps it’s time to break out the Plasticine.</p></div>

		<description><![CDATA[SER E TER
Tiago Coen

A posse e o culto de objectos de arte ou de design como elementos identitários é algo que parece ser próprio da natureza humana.

Temos o que somos?
Desde sempre que o homem recolhe, colecciona e cultiva objectos, essencialmente pelo exotismo, pela religiosidade e pelo saudosismo que eles contêm e deles emana. Uma prática inicialmente alheada de quaisquer preocupações científicas ou museológicas, muitas vezes movida por rituais bizarros ou secretos, mas que, na maioria dos casos, tem a ver só com a descoberta de uma identificação pessoal com os objectos em causa.
São objectos que, na sua essência, mantêm intactas as premissas de pureza, simplicidade e genuinidade que tão ansiosamente buscamos, de forma infrutífera, nas pessoas com quem nos relacionamos, ao mesmo tempo que, nos antípodas, podem corporizar toda a espécie de complexos, fantasmas e fetiches, que secretamente nos atormentam e que de uma maneira ou de outra nos esforçamos por exorcizar.

Somos o que temos?
No que diz respeito aos objectos artísticos, estes relacionam-se intíma e afectuosamente com o seu proprietário ou conservador, coisa que não parece acontecer com outros tipos de objectos de culto, como relógios, carros, telemóveis – que são cultivados por mera exibição ou ostentação de status. Não quer isto dizer que no culto deste tipo de objectos não se verifique igualmente uma boa dose de afectividade – basta pensar nos aficionados do Citroën 2CV ou da Triumph Thunderbird 1950 para o perceber. Da mesma forma que, no que concerne ao culto de objectos artísticos, o facto status não se evidencie também – também aí ele existe e é cada vez mais patente no mercado oficial de arte.
A ostentação sempre foi uma maneira pouco elegante de tentar fazer vingar o poder que se tem, qualquer que ele seja. Mas nunca como no séc. XXI – o século em que a vaidade vai à feira! – se assistiu a uma tal demonstração de ausência de carácter! E de uma forma tão democratizada! Pela primeira vez, a manifestação ostensiva de status é transversal a todo o espectro das classes sociais, desde a aristocracia ao proletariado. Todos têm acesso, hoje, à exibição de uma caneta Mont Blanc Diplomat, de um fato Armani ou de um relógio Cartier Tank, mesmo que não passem de pechisbeques contrafeitos na distante Ásia! E é triste verificar que o mundo ocidental pretenda, do oriente, somente o pior que ele tem para nos oferecer: a exploração esclavagista das suas populações e o menos espiritual das suas realizações!

Ter para ser
Interessa-nos, todavia, relevar uma outra ordem de objectos: aqueles que são avaliados e valorizados apenas pela relação afectiva que têm com os seus proprietários. Assim também se define a sua cotação – não no mercado, mas num círculo restrito de iniciados, unidos por códigos aparentemente imperceptíveis, mas perfeitamente claros para os que dele fazem parte. São objectos pelos quais se mantém uma relação que ultrapassa a compreensão da maioria das pessoas, mas que faz a delícia de todos quantos a cultivam.
Uma boneca de madeira da Ti Guilhermina, de Vila Flor, ainda não faz parte do acervo de nenhum museu ou galeria, mas quem a possui não se separa dela por nada deste mundo!
Da mesma forma, quem possui uma boneca Venavi (Togo/Ghana) nutre por ela um carinho tão intenso quanto o gémeo africano que a possuiu na origem, ainda que por razões bem diferentes.

Ser para ter
Se haverá objectos cujo carácter único os tornam verdadeiras jóias da coroa e por isso de custo avultado, muitos outros haverá em que não será pelo seu custo que se inviabilizará a sua aquisição. Não é tanto pelo carácter mais ou menos valioso das peças coleccionadas, antes pelo carácter menos ou mais ambicioso do coleccionador que uma colecção satisfaz o seu proprietário. Há quem se contente com um fac-símile de um rascunho de uma obra de Picasso e outros que não descansam enquanto não adquirirem a “Guernica”, ela mesma!

Neste “ser e ter” compulsivo assenta a dialética que nos permite a assunção de que, no culto de um objecto, cada pessoa tem o privilégio e a oportunidade de revelar só para si uma parcela dos grandes mistérios do mundo. E que, em cada um desses objectos, é possível encontrar muitas das pistas denunciadoras das nossas origens mais remotas, assim como vislumbrar os sinais vitais dos nossos rumos mais extremos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#339966;"><em>“The study of dolls is truly the study of mankind” </em></span></span></p>
<div id="post-330">
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;">O objecto, o mito, </span><span style="font-size:x-small;">o processo criativo no design</span></div>
</div>
<p>Odesign é uma prática cultural que materializa valores, transformano-os em produtos. Mas mais do que um objecto, o design produz signos a partir da percepção do imaginário social.</p>
<p>Segundo Barthes (1992,p.172), &#8221; [...]significar quer dizer que os objectos não vinculam só informações, pois nesse caso eles apenas comunicariam, mas constituem também sistemas estruturados de signos [...]&#8220;</p>
<p>Há uma série de valores presentes no objecto na relação de interface com o indivíduo que formam pontos de atracção que variam também de acordo com o contexto cultural. Assim, a importância que atribuimos ao objecto é de carácter impreciso porque vem da dimensão psicológica. Existem então uma série de valores inerentes ao objecto tais como custo do produto, venda, valores estéticos, sociais, funcionais, prestigio, antiguidade, historicidade poder e diferenciação.</p>
<p>O meu trabalho aborda o objecto/ produto e pretende ser e explorar mitos e lendas resultantes das diferentes culturas. Ao criar um objecto vou estar a criar cultura.  A noção de marca também se apresenta como algo a explorar na medida em que a constituição da mesma será o meu objectivo final, de modo a entrar num pequeno mundo/ movimento que se designa Designer Toys. Assim, como mitos são designações de cultura, os meus objectos/bonecos apresentar-se-ão como manifestações da mesma através de uma retórica visual única e subjectiva. A noção de design de autor estará presente uma vez que cada boneco é único.</p>
<p>&#8220;Portinari: (&#8230;)Assim, podemos entender o trabalho do design como uma actividade de criação e recriação da própria significação, efectuada através das coisas. Nesse sentido podemos dizer que o imaginário não só premeia a actividade do designer, em todos os níveis, mas que, mais rdicalmente, o imaginário constitui a própria matéria que é trabalhada por essa actividade: a sua matéria-prima&#8221;</p>
<p>O design é um processo criativo que requer o controle de diversas variáveis, relacionadas com aspectos culturais com o intuito de desenvolver produtos que respondam ao uso prático, estético e simbólico do objecto, antecipandoas &#8220;necessidades&#8221; reais dos usuários. No caso dos Art Toys, o pública alvo apresenta-se como um conjunto amplo de collecionadores que se interessam por Pop Art, ilustração, etc.  O meu objectivo será a materialização de um pequeno universo simbólico baseado num produto e nas suas potencialidades.</p>

<p><em><strong><a href="http://upart.wordpress.com/">SER E TER</a></strong></em><br />
<strong>A posse e o culto de objectos de arte ou de design como elementos identitários é algo que parece ser próprio da natureza humana.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Temos o que somos?</strong><br />
Desde sempre que o homem recolhe, colecciona e cultiva objectos, essencialmente pelo exotismo, pela religiosidade e pelo saudosismo que eles contêm e deles emana. Uma prática inicialmente alheada de quaisquer preocupações científicas ou museológicas, muitas vezes movida por rituais bizarros ou secretos, mas que, na maioria dos casos, tem a ver só com a descoberta de uma identificação pessoal com os objectos em causa.<br />
São objectos que, na sua essência, mantêm intactas as premissas de pureza, simplicidade e genuinidade que tão ansiosamente buscamos, de forma infrutífera, nas pessoas com quem nos relacionamos, ao mesmo tempo que, nos antípodas, podem corporizar toda a espécie de complexos, fantasmas e fetiches, que secretamente nos atormentam e que de uma maneira ou de outra nos esforçamos por exorcizar.</p>
<p><strong>Somos o que temos?</strong><br />
No que diz respeito aos objectos artísticos, estes relacionam-se intíma e afectuosamente com o seu proprietário ou conservador, coisa que não parece acontecer com outros tipos de objectos de culto, como relógios, carros, telemóveis – que são cultivados por mera exibição ou ostentação de status. Não quer isto dizer que no culto deste tipo de objectos não se verifique igualmente uma boa dose de afectividade – basta pensar nos aficionados do Citroën 2CV ou da Triumph Thunderbird 1950 para o perceber. Da mesma forma que, no que concerne ao culto de objectos artísticos, o facto status não se evidencie também – também aí ele existe e é cada vez mais patente no mercado oficial de arte.<br />
A ostentação sempre foi uma maneira pouco elegante de tentar fazer vingar o poder que se tem, qualquer que ele seja. Mas nunca como no séc. XXI – o século em que a vaidade vai à feira! – se assistiu a uma tal demonstração de ausência de carácter! E de uma forma tão democratizada! Pela primeira vez, a manifestação ostensiva de status é transversal a todo o espectro das classes sociais, desde a aristocracia ao proletariado. Todos têm acesso, hoje, à exibição de uma caneta Mont Blanc Diplomat, de um fato Armani ou de um relógio Cartier Tank, mesmo que não passem de pechisbeques contrafeitos na distante Ásia! E é triste verificar que o mundo ocidental pretenda, do oriente, somente o pior que ele tem para nos oferecer: a exploração esclavagista das suas populações e o menos espiritual das suas realizações!</p>
<p><strong>Ter para ser</strong><br />
Interessa-nos, todavia, relevar uma outra ordem de objectos: aqueles que são avaliados e valorizados apenas pela relação afectiva que têm com os seus proprietários. Assim também se define a sua cotação – não no mercado, mas num círculo restrito de iniciados, unidos por códigos aparentemente imperceptíveis, mas perfeitamente claros para os que dele fazem parte. São objectos pelos quais se mantém uma relação que ultrapassa a compreensão da maioria das pessoas, mas que faz a delícia de todos quantos a cultivam.<br />
Uma boneca de madeira da Ti Guilhermina, de Vila Flor, ainda não faz parte do acervo de nenhum museu ou galeria, mas quem a possui não se separa dela por nada deste mundo!<br />
Da mesma forma, quem possui uma boneca Venavi (Togo/Ghana) nutre por ela um carinho tão intenso quanto o gémeo africano que a possuiu na origem, ainda que por razões bem diferentes.<br />
<strong><br />
Ser para ter</strong><br />
Se haverá objectos cujo carácter único os tornam verdadeiras jóias da coroa e por isso de custo avultado, muitos outros haverá em que não será pelo seu custo que se inviabilizará a sua aquisição. Não é tanto pelo carácter mais ou menos valioso das peças coleccionadas, antes pelo carácter menos ou mais ambicioso do coleccionador que uma colecção satisfaz o seu proprietário. Há quem se contente com um fac-símile de um rascunho de uma obra de Picasso e outros que não descansam enquanto não adquirirem a “Guernica”, ela mesma!</p>
<p>Neste “ser e ter” compulsivo assenta a dialética que nos permite a assunção de que, no culto de um objecto, cada pessoa tem o privilégio e a oportunidade de revelar só para si uma parcela dos grandes mistérios do mundo. E que, em cada um desses objectos, é possível encontrar muitas das pistas denunciadoras das nossas origens mais remotas, assim como vislumbrar os sinais vitais dos nossos rumos mais extremos.  <strong>Tiago Coen</strong></p>
