As a toy lover, Ajun started to touch the toy model two or three years ago. “I just started to see other people’s works through the website and I feel very good.” Starting from the entry level, I started to play it. And even make a model of himself. A Jun introduced that the model embryo can be bought through the online store, and the bubble forum can learn how to make it, and can exchange experiences with the friends.

"But some unions are a little rougher and need to be polished twice." He said while pulling out a mini-grinding tool, Ah Jun said, "This is for special toys. It is suitable for polishing some small details. In order to facilitate the production, Ah Jun moved the console to the office. Because sitting in the corner, the tools are stacked on the side of the desk near the window. In the desktop storage cabinet, the production tools, paints and other items are stored separately. A large storage box was transformed into a toolbox for storing the spray gun, and one became an exhaust fan. The exhaust pipe was connected to the exhaust pipe to discharge the smell of the paint.

“When I started playing, I was quicker and I could finish a piece of work in a month or two, but now it will be more tempered. It took half a year to finish the work.” After the finished product, Ajun will customize a suitable glass for the toy. The cabinet was stored, Ajun revealed, "The recently completed work is for the wife. Some can also be sold online." It is understood that a beautifully crafted toy can sometimes sell hundreds to thousands. Even higher prices.

Ajun introduced that the toy model collection, which can be assembled by yourself, is an entry level. In Ajun's work, in addition to the toy model that can be moved, there are many toy models for display. Ah Jun said that most of these models are made of resin or silicone, and the plasticity is relatively strong. There are a lot of finished products on the Internet for sale. "If you don't like color matching, you can buy a nude toy model and come back and paint yourself."

His earliest collection of Transformers is green when he was in elementary school. The engineering vehicle fits together. "At the time, I felt that this kind of deformation toy was very novel and I began to like collecting it."

The Transformers collected by Amber Cats are mainly based on the characters in the Transformers animation of the 1980s. "Transformers are characterized by its inherent commercial atmosphere." Amber Cats introduced that Transformers toys were originally designed by Japanese companies in the 1970s to be based on real cars, airplanes and other toys. In the 1980s, when the American Hasbro company purchased the relevant toy copyrights and design drawings, it “repackaged the toys and planned a setting with a grand cosmology”, and then launched a series of animations of the 80s and later The works of comics, games, etc., turned the toys that were originally transformed into car models into flesh-and-blood characters in the story of robotic wars and alien invasion wars.

However, he will also pick a few special favorite on the desk. "Playing toys while working hard, you can divert attention, it is also a good decompression method." There are also friends who collect the same good friends. They often come together privately to discuss and share the toys they collect. “Because the current crowd is scattered, large offline events are usually held in Beijing and Shanghai. There is a conflict between the time of the event and my working hours, so I basically will not participate,” said the amber cat.
