Why are apes so expensive to make?

Let's start with official pricing. The birth of handcraft requires many steps, among which the main places to spend money are:

1. The more famous the role, the more expensive it is to buy the prototype copyright;

2. Ask the prototype engineer to design and make a prototype, just like an article;

3. Manufacturing molds (hand-made molds produced in large quantities, and turning over one or two hundred molds will need to be replaced because the details are lost) are now modular production. The more complex manual modeling is, the more grouped components are, the higher the cost is, and many components cannot be reused;

4. Coloring (which needs to be done by hand) and painting; Then there is the actual price, although it can be officially booked.

But after all, only a few can start with the actual price, and most of them will be supplemented later. The actual transaction price will be affected by these factors:

1. output, many handmade products have limited output. After copying hundreds of sets of handmade products, the mold was destroyed. Actually, it's out of print. Although it may be reprinted in the future, it is a common practice for those who love it.

2. Actual quality. Before deciding on mass production, a hand-made model is usually displayed in the form of GK white film in WTF exhibition and other places in advance, and the buyer will decide whether to make a reservation through this. Such prototypes are generally hand-made by prototypes, which are quite excellent. Nowadays, handmade products are basically MADEINCHINA, and there are many manual links in the manual production process, so it often happens that the prototype is quite exquisite, but there is a big gap between it and the prototype after mass production. At this time, a large number of handmade products will be unsalable, and websites like Amazon will be sold at a discount. At the highest time, they will encounter 20% or 30% discount. At this time, it is the so-called cabbage, such as the sly smile _ Qi, which has been sold on Amazon;

Of course, there are also hand-made shops, which were not valued at first, but received unexpected praise after sale. Because the manufacturer decides the output according to the advance appointment, there will be no market for the price at this time, and the price will be very high. For example, the previous official price of Dao was 600, and it has been fried to above 1K after half a month;
