Core Characters & Design Concepts
-
The Little Prince: The rose he loved was in his hand; the sheep he wanted was in the box; yet he remained determined to set off for a more distant planet to find the answer.
-
The Rose: Perhaps there are five thousand identical flowers in the world, but only one is truly unique and extraordinary, because it is nurtured with love.
-
The Fox: True love is about mutual submission and responsibility. What truly matters is what is invisible to the naked eye.
-
The Little Prince - Special Edition (Big Secret): Did the Little Prince, carried away by the clouds, return to his rose or embark on a new journey? The cloud-shaped handle and the figure's left hand are detachable. The base is also detachable.
-
The Pilot (Small Secret): Breaking free from the barriers of the adult world, let's talk about stars and flowers; transcending appearances, let's rediscover our childlike innocence. The bamboo dragonfly and hat are detachable; the bamboo dragonfly can rotate. The base is also detachable.
-
The King:
Chasing power and issuing commands,
believing that rule was the ultimate goal,
Qi Guang had already fallen into a self-constructed fantasy.
-
The Conceited Man: A vain person, obsessed with the gaze of others, has their soul blinded by praise, becoming an empty puppet.
-
The Businessman:
Losing oneself in the illusion of numbers and wealth, how can the brilliance of the stars be held in one's grasp?
-
The Lamplighter:
Day and night turn ceaselessly,
Amidst the flickering of lights,
The tireless lamplighters, their hearts burning with passion,
Yet, clinging to conventions gradually becomes a shackle.
-
The Snake:
Everything I touch returns to its origin, vanishing into nothingness, entering the cycle of life. An end is also a new beginning.
-
The Geographer:
Browsing over mountains and rivers, yet never setting foot on a journey, without personally experiencing the world, knowledge remains imprisoned.
-
The Switchman:
The trains lead each other to their respective destinations. Adults rush about their busy journeys, forgetting why they set sail in the first place.
-
The Merchant:
In the pursuit of efficiency, one's inner self gradually drifts away. The beauty of life often lies hidden in the smallest details.
-
The Tippler: Drunkenness breeds shame; guilt arises from alcohol; ultimately, it creates a closed loop of self-escape.
