Maker mentality and production processes aside, Alexander also strolled along to see once again how his final products turned out and how the would-be buyers had perceived them.
Taking in the themed stalls to look through the assortments that his team had achieved was quite gratifying.
Of course, in a sequential fashion as Alexander started out with the first comic franchise he had plundered, the Dragonball series.
The first 20 issues of Dragonball had already been released and the many characters and character quirks that can be tapped from such an array of characters are staggering.
Spearheading the toy selection is the monkey-tailed Goku without doubt and the ultra-popular Bulma who has a certain inexplicable but also explicable appeal to the nerds.
Since the Dragonball franchise was all about an ever-expanding cast of wild and expressive characters, it was the one with the most variety and the one with the highest collectibility appeal.
Every Dragonball toy that was on the Dragonball selection is meant to partner with each other and collecting all of it and displaying it would be the prime motivator.
As Dragonball was about collecting the 7 multi-star Dragonballs to grant your greatest wish, collecting Dragonball toys and displaying them on a display shelf should also bring about great satisfaction.
As such, the aesthetics and balance of it all were necessary. It was also something that Creed Toys was quite proud to flex out on.
Aesthetics and balance were not a thing that can mostly be achieved by Mattel and Hasbro's kinetic action figure and doll line though, so Alexander opted to use the figurine-type toy... of course, with semi-action figure dimensions to it.
A figurine comes from the diminutive form of the word figure and could be considered as a statuette. It is the small, three-dimensional sculpture that represents a human, diety, or animal, or, in practice, a pair or small group of them.
Just as how war buffs and any collectible fanatic loves to collect and admire still figures that represent certain people and characters.
Dragonball toys would be the one to nurture and trigger that collection factor to many toy enthusiasts or budding enthusiasts from the Creed fans.
Of course, unlike normal timepieces or religious figurines, Dragonball characters wouldn't limit themselves to one pose or character distinction.
Goku himself has Nimbus riding toy and all others. Alexander even took Goku's many martial poses quite far ahead to be able to be aligned in such a way to constitute a continuous martial dance.
It was quite a staple idea that the Goku's on display were displayed in a manner that showed the onlookers what those Goku poses meant when put all together.
The balance of Goku's forms was also considered in the making of it and Alexander wanted to make sure that the 'surfboards' that most figurines use to stay standing were down to a minimum or even none.
The Design Heads and Engine Heads truly made the perfect plastic molds that would convey Goku's otherworldy hairstyle and make it pleasing to look at at any angle whilst maintaining the still balance of a usually unmoving figurine.
Just like how people want to collect Encyclopedias, books, and Volume Books for their coherent display, Dragonball figurines can be displayed along those shelves to partner them up.
Alexander has seen impressive manga tankobons and toy figurine merchandise displayed in that manner. This became his main motivation and hidden playset goal that he wanted to instill in the Dragonball fandom he is developing.
Franchises needed fans and Alexander made sure to give people an activity that would make their fandom worthwhile.
Just Goku's many forms alone have already been snagged up by the people in the crowd with money and the same could be said to the other Dragonball characters in the toy selections.
Turtle, Dinosaur antagonists, the giant fish from the very first issue, old master Roshi, Yamcha, Oolong, and the previously explored gangs of notable characters were all in place.
The selection would only expand some more as the story progresses to the Z storylines and the Super tournaments.
The set scale and adamant specifications to follow through with that cohesion made the buyers appreciate the toy-making dedication more and even enforced their imagery on how high and how short the characters were.
When the intricate Shenron and Gorilla-d Goku toys would finally be in availability would people find out how far Creed Toys would take things in scale balance.
Of course, those would be in the rarest of the toy selection as it was the hardest to produce. Perhaps the only way that those characters would be made prevalent to the masses is via chibi-fication and teddy-fication plans that Alexander had underway for things.
As for the new Bulma, she was trumping Goku in toy variations overall. Alexander's exploration and incorporation of her genius into the Dragonball storyline did her charm quite well.
Her inventive moving machines are the ones that practically broke the monotone figurine-ness of her Dragonball companions.
Her big-wheeled motorcycle from the early issues was one of the biggest attractions as the toy version was also able to roll around while Bulma is riding along.
There was even a special version that had Goku ride along to pay homage to that riding into the sunset panel that symbolized their shady partnership.
There were still boats, airplanes, skating Bulma, her RV, and all that to be made available but their relative complexity still needs some time for the productions factories to get used to.
Aside from those, the life-size toy accessories that related to Bulma in the stalls were also one of the impressively bought-out ones. Pokeballs still haven't been made, after all, so handholdable and clickable 'capsules' from Capsule Corp. were a great availability for everyone.
All in all, the figurine collectability of Dragonball was already a hit from what Alexander had seen so far.
The cohesiveness in scale and the premise of semi-affordability and semi-un-'limited' availability of the more simple sets should set the Dragonball toyline to be an incremental, ever-growing, and long-term profit maker for the stores, Creed Toys, and Creed Entertainment.
How could the current market not be hooked in at Volume Books in eye-catching and versatile toy forms? As the Dragonball comic story continues to gain traction and increase in popularity, so does all the other merchandise related to it.
When the groundbreaking Z storylines with Super Saiyans would shock people, the unit sales of these first version toys may have already reached a staggering level.
When Super would come out, Alexander was already afraid to count things. The decades-long toy collection habit that everyone had should already translate to many generations and the consequences of that are already superbly astounding.
Of course, Alexander had his work cut out for him as everything wouldn't be as grand and smooth sailing as that.
However, the prospects of the Dragonball toyline alone were already considerably astounding.
What were to happen if Alexander takes into account the next couple of franchise toys he has at hand and the franchise toys he has in mind?
UniVerseLessOne This is a work of fiction and a lot of unresearched topics so don't bash my trashy work too much.
