Unique Properties
Cosmic Man is a collectible toy with a retro-futuristic design. The classic color contrast brings a retro sense of luxury and evokes the memories and feelings of the times. The armor gives an impression of being strong and impact resistant. Mechanical elements interpret rich stories. The retro technological texture of the decorative lights collides with the punk culture of the belt, exuding a unique charm. The fit design of the space suit comes from an upgrade iteration of technology. The mechanical brain is the core of AI, carrying the human exploring spirit.

Production Technology
Featuring the idea of sustainable design, it is entirely digital R&D, a simplified design, hollowing out the internal structure to significantly reduce the material consumption and product weight. The integration is lightweight and durable. Exquisite handy craftsmanship and craftsman spirit empower precise and efficient technology to create a warm modern commercial, artistic toy.
Design Challenge
The product structure has high requirements for fineness and details. However, increasing the fineness will increase the consumables and damage rate. Therefore, the research challenge is balancing energy efficiency and minimizing consumables and weight without sacrificing quality.
Research
On the premise of pursuing high quality for design and production, 15 experiments were conducted between the fineness of 0.05 and 0.1 to achieve a balance between precision and the best energy efficiency. This design uses non-uniform thickness hollow-out technology and 3D printing technology. According to different stress positions, the corresponding hollow thickness is emphasized, which significantly improves the qualified rate of finished products, and at the same time, minimizes consumables to achieve the best balance of refinement, weight, and quality.
Inspiration
Inspired by human ambition for infinite existence, the shape of the Cosmic Man is a symbol of humans expanding territory into space. In the time dimension, humans pursue eternal life and use technology to parasitize their consciousness on artificial intelligence. The mechanical brain of the Cosmic Man represents AI and eternal consciousness, and the body is the interface between eternal consciousness and infinite space.
Project Duration
The project started in 2021 and was completed in Beijing in 2022.
Operation Flow
A base is a charging unit. Place the Cosmic Man on the bottom to charge the decorative light. The arms and hands can flexibly rotate and change postures. Accessories such as shoes, jetpacks, and helmets can be matched and assembled—modularization to realize the disassembly, exchange, and collection of toy figures.
