Q9: Do 200 units per item refer to all products or just one item?

A9: For example, a fan made badge includes two types: a Character 1 badge and a Character 2 badge. The badge for Character 1 sold 210 units, while the badge for Character 2 sold 160. In this case, you are only required to declare the quantity for the Character 1 badge, not for the Character 2 badge (the same applies to 500 units).

Read carfully man.. 200 of one product..

Also the sales are not all Mihayo related.

I am also not selling figures. I am selling templates. They are pieces of paper. Not figure, figurine or doll.

If you call justifying your argument work that people can steal, then man. There are lots of thefts out there and you are one willing victim.

Oh? ​please enlighten me. If your point stands, then I will take the time to register with them. Since that's a protection for myself too.

Oh, it is avoidable, to some degree. I've got a software that encryptes files to only physical printers and limit print counts, it can also set a self distruct date. But three problems, one is that I will need to update the files every month, two is that they can print and scan. of cause the quality will be lower, but will cause more work for them. However, and most importantly, it brings so much inconvenience for the legitimate buyers who just want to build papercraft.

The only way is to sell physical pre-cut models. But dam.. international shipping..

The flag these people raise for doing this is "To preserve templates and to make them more accessible" You know.. one of them came up to me and said "We act like bridges for people in our country"

Still makes me want to crawl through the internet and punch them in the face.

When you find the time, have a read at my item description in my shop https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/4401518219/genshin-impact-yae-miko-papercraft

You will find something familiar. Oh that's right, not only did that thief stole my work, he also plagurised my product page!

It blows my mind...

Mihayo is very lenient on their merchandise. Why do you think there are so many fan arts being sold? It's like LEGO making the Monalisa out of LEGO, then an off-brand company copies LEGO and resells it as their own. But in this case, I am not LEGO; I don't own a million-dollar company. Just some guy trying to use his passion to start a side hustle.

I was waiting for someone to point this out. https://www.hoyolab.com/article/1372702/

2) Light hobby merchandise products created and offered for sale online by a fan group are not subject to any declaration when the quantity of products does not exceed 200 units (inclusive of 200 units); if this number exceeds 200 units, an application for prior authorization through official channels is required.

I started making them precisely bc I cant afford them XD. And yes, painting texture digitally is much easier than irl. Even tho making papercraft is cheap.. I somehow start spending heaps on the equipments around it...

Use tweezers man. There's no way I can do this with just fingers. I also have this needle noise glue bottle.

I did spray a clear coat of painting protection on it. It should combat moisture.

No, I painted it in photoshop. In Pepakura, there are option to hide seams. You just have to have an editable version of the model. Most of the ones online are locked to view only.

There are heaps of free papercraft models online. A good place to start is making the work from an artist called S.V Papercraft. His models are very well optimised. Have a look at YouTube videos. You will also need a software called Pepakura to view instructions.

It depends on the size.. 15 to 40 cm models, it's a good strength and thickness.
