Taiwan's renowned YouTuber Tie Niu, having starred in the undefeated classic internet video "Jiego Don't," rose to fame across the Chinese-speaking world as a meme. He is also set to appear in a live-action stage play adapted from "Jiego Don't." This time, he makes his cross-over debut as a designer, collaborating with the toy design team Infinity Toy to co-produce the 30cm tall soft vinyl collectible toy "Jiegora."
In fact, Jiegora already made its debut at TTF last year, even appearing as an 8cm commemorative figurine for a lottery. Even though the commemorative figurine was unpainted and lacked detailed design at the time, and didn't yet hold A-Wei's "airplane cup" or the classic glasses, it already attracted a large number of meme fans to pilgrimage. This year, "Jiegora" officially launches, with a design that further streamlines the muscles, using blocky main structures combined with large, flat facets, making the style more minimalist.
Jiego's T-shirt is printed with the Jiegora graphic, and he wears workwear shorts embossed with the logo. His sneakers are sculpted with the characters "ジャイゴラ" (Jiegora), seamlessly blending street "trend" elements with the characteristics of designer toys.
Furthermore, regarding accessories, the fidelity to the meme's essence has been intentionally heightened. In addition to the widely recognized "Jiego glasses" that caused the entire video's plot to take a sharp turn, A-Wei has been transformed into an "airplane cup" to recreate the meme's storyline, echoing Jiego's malicious actions towards A-Wei in the drama.
Not only is the character's appearance faithfully restored, but the meme's storyline is also cleverly presented through design, perfectly showcasing the charm of a collectible toy. The packaging is also meticulously crafted, featuring a black non-woven drawstring bag printed with the Jiegora logo. Toy enthusiasts who love memes and pop culture shouldn't miss out!
