That afternoon during a meeting, our designers gathered around the whiteboard, sketching ideas and discussing recent fan complaints about "either stiff or poorly detailed figures on the market." Suddenly, Jack slammed the table: "How about designing a 'rebellious girl'? Like one holding bubble tea, hands on hips yelling 'Stop staying up late binge-watching or you'll go bald!' — both over-the-top and relatable!" The office burst into laughter, but as we laughed, inspiration hit: we needed to create PVC anime girl figures with soul.Once the direction was set, challenges came one after another. For example, when designing the "energetic schoolgirl" anime girl figures pose, to make her skirt flutter naturally while running, our art lead squatted at the school track filming girls running for half an hour. Creating the "tsundere noble girl's" bow for our PVC anime girl figures? The supplier made five samples — the first too stiff like plastic, the third discolored and curtain-like. The funniest moment came when adjusting poses for our anime girl figures: initially envisioning her "standing on a book heroically," but the prototype test revealed an unstable center of gravity, causing the PVC anime girl figures to literally "split apart" when landing... We later changed it to "leaning casually on a desk, resting her chin in her hand" — both adorable and stable. Over three months, we revised over twenty sketches and made eight prototypes before finalizing that girl with "sparkling eyes, clutching a manga book".When we sent the first batch of PVC anime girl figures to loyal fans, the comments section exploded: "The skirt pleats are perfect — just like my school uniform!" "The noble girl's hands-on-hips expression is exactly like me nagging my landlord to fix the AC!" Even more touching, one mom commented her daughter placed the "schoolgirl" PVC anime girl figures on her desk and became more focused on homework — "She said she wants to be as diligent as the figure." Turns out our half-year obsession with these PVC anime girl figures truly became a warm bridge between the 2D and 3D worlds. Now, every time we walk past the exhibition hall and see those shelves packed with PVC anime girl figures, we recall that "bubble tea complaint" idea.
