Description

  The present invention relates to a figure and a method for producing the figure.

  Conventionally, for example, the facial expression of a figure (such as eyes and eyelashes) has been a very important part in determining the value of the figure as well as affecting the facial expression of the figure. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for manufacturing a doll's eyeball, in which a contact body such as an elastic silicone resin is pressed against a coating film that imitates the black eyes of the eyeball by printing, and the attached coating film is applied to the eyeball. A technique for transferring to a spherical surface simulating the above is described. In this way, the black eye pattern formed by printing can be formed on the eyeball surface by transferring the coating film, and the black eye can be expressed with high accuracy.

JP 2012-24382 A

  However, when the eyes are expressed by printing, there is a possibility that the eyes are displaced from the spherical surface. In a product such as the face of a figure that feels uncomfortable when the position of the face expression member is a little strange, the eyeball with the shifted eye position may impair the value of the product.

  In the case of a plastic model figure that allows the user to perform part of the assembly, the eyes and face of the figure have traditionally been expressed with a sticker. However, it may take a long time for the user to apply the seal, or the seal may be displaced, and it is difficult for the user to apply a seal in a form that does not feel uncomfortable and it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory finished product.

  The present invention provides a figure capable of easily forming an eye expression with high accuracy.
