For a long time, the pronouns of domestically produced hands are all evil hands to do saber.

The girl wearing a blue and white gold-rimmed dress, holding a blond-blue blade, is another kind of scene in the model of the domestic hand-held business: the back of the shoulder is tilted, the corner of the mouth is drooping, and the blonde is like a box of inverted buckles. French fries, the sword of the contract victory is replaced by a small plastic bar with a bow.

With the strange posture, this evil god hand-made “famous Japan”, the official saber prototype of Miyagawa Miyagawa can not help but buy the collection, and joked that seeing the evil spirits my heart will be calm.

It has been 13 years since the birth of this evil god.

In 2006, the anime magazine “Animation Base” supplement was sent to fans to do saber. This hand-made is based on Miyagawa’s 1/6 sword saber as a prototype, but it is a copy of the domestically-produced business. The hand is not like a god, but it is famous for its ugliness.

After the thirteenth year, the “Animation Base” version of Saber ruled the head of the Chinese Internet evil spirits, and the domestic manufacturers have still shrouded in the shadow of the evil hands.


01 About the past and present of the plastic villain

In the 1930s, the British invented the plastic model, and these beautiful models quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. Soon after, some American troops carried a small number of models to Japan.

The emergence of these exquisite small exotic items has attracted the attention of Japanese citizens. However, due to the high price, these plastic models are not children’s toys, but the high hobby of wealthy adults.

After a short time, Japanese people who are good at learning have mastered the technology of making plastic models.

In the 1960s, Japan’s post-war economy developed rapidly, and the media industry emerged. The first animation series was released. Under the slogan of “consumer virtue”, Japanese nationals continue to create a miracle about the new economy, and the animation industry is one of the brightest pearls in the world.

In 1958, Sanmaru Store launched the first modern model in Japanese history, animated image doll “Iron Man 28”. Since then, along with the continuous development of the animation industry, the variety of models and dolls has become more abundant and the market has become more extensive.

Since the early 1960s, models and dolls have gradually become a popular fashion culture in Japan. From children to adults, they are obsessed with beautifully modeled toys, whether they are vehicles, spaceships, buildings, or animated characters. Almost everything can be made into a plastic model.

After the time came to the 80s, the video game console was born, and personal electronic computers began to be popularized and applied. The transformation of mass consumption, the emergence of otaku, models and dolls were also differentiated by the birth of new and new human beings.

For the otaku, a large number of copies of the finished product can not meet the individual needs, thus the concept of hand-held is initially presented.

The young players of the 1980s no longer simply consume goods, but instead transform their own products and become cultural communicators.

The relationship between the new generation of players and the hand-held office has somewhat blurred the relationship between the model player and the consumer, and has turned into a new mode of self-production, self-play, and self-sale.

Among them, a hand-made manufacturing method called GK model is most popular among otaku people and has been popular since the 1980s.

After the otaku brought up the wave of homemade hand-made, some companies that made plastic models began to abandon or reduce the traditional large-scale reproduction of plastic technology, and turned to the development of GK model studios that are refined and refined. The model manufacturing company Ocean Hall is one of them.
