Children's toy collection market is hot

Although time cannot be reversed, adults can still recall childhood from many things. Toys are undoubtedly the best carrier. This is why in the collection market in recent years, the classic old toys not only do not have "old people", but also worth more.

From Collection to Management In the 1980s, the American animation "Transformers" became popular in China. Having a Transformers toy was once the happiest thing in the eyes of children. After more than 20 years, the original children's toys have gradually evolved into valuable collections. As the real-life movie "Transformers 3" was released in Chengdu, the "Transformers" toy became the focus of attention again. Among them, the original price of an "Optimus Prime" toy that was produced in 1998 was about 100 yuan, and it has now climbed to a million.

Actually, not only Transformers but also cartoons and popular toys that were once hit on the mainland in the 1970s and 1980s, such as the Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, Doraemon, Altman, etc., were hot spots for people between the ages of 25 and 30. . The number of people collecting toys in China and the number of collections are now beginning to take shape. As these toys have a certain appreciation potential, some players have gradually shifted from personal collections to business transactions. In major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Sui, there have been small shops dominated by animation and classic animation toy models. The shopkeepers are mostly anime enthusiasts born in the 1970s and 1980s.

As the era becomes more computerized, some hand-made toys will be more valuable. People are never satisfied with the status quo. Besides having to have an outlook for the future, they also like to have money and have time to flip through memories. At that time, the toys that could not be bought at the time were bought back to satisfy them, so the market had a certain demand.

Tin metal toys are the most popular and from domestic toys, tin toys are undoubtedly very popular. Tin frogs, tin robots, iron locomotives... In that era when supplies were far more scarce than they are now, these rustic, domestically-made tin toys have accompanied countless children and spent their simple and happy childhood. . In the past two years, retro nostalgia has swept across the country, and many people have begun to collect all kinds of old-fashioned tin toys again as a good memory for childhood.

Although toy collections are very popular today, for collectors who are investing purposes, they should still pay attention to risks. Not all toys can appreciate. For example, the newly released film version of the Transformers model has a large circulation and the potential for appreciation is limited. The value of toys in the movie version of "Transformers" is certainly not as good as the old ones, and their prices will fall back during the year. The collection of old transformers should also pay attention to grasp the scale, because once the "Transformers" wave of over, these collections of toys may be priceless, there are not many people will pay attention again.

From the point of view of the collection investment, there is little value in the collection of toys produced in the market, and only the first edition and limited edition toys have high collection value. It's not just gold teddy bears, platinum Hello Kitty, or diamond SD dolls that have gold-plated silver enamel characters that reflect the value of toys. The truly wonderful toys, by hand, can dwarf those objects that are studded with enamel. This is what investors need to pay attention to.
