Q3: How did you choose the character designs and settings? What details should we pay attention to in your works?

🎨Steven: I have a habit in my creative process of applying the concept of picture books to three-dimensional design, which enriches my works with storytelling. For instance, apples represent growth, aquariums embody playfulness, and underwater adventures symbolize bravery.

One of the designs, 'Shall We Dance,' highlights the puppet's string structure. Due to the miniature size of the box toys, we needed to thread the string through the body while accurately calculating the pulling force and tension when pressed. This posed significant challenges, resulting in multiple modifications. Ultimately, we achieved a satisfying result. I am grateful to Hot Toys for their support in bringing this creative idea to fruition.

Q4: Which style in this project is your favorite?

🎨Steven: I particularly adore the scene at the end of the story where Pinocchio reunites with the old carpenter. This moment inspired me to design it as the hidden style of this series: “[MYSTERY (Special Rare)] Never-Never Land.” I enjoy infusing rich emotions into my detailed creations. The interaction between the old carpenter and Pinocchio, along with the posture of the cat, seamlessly conveys a sense of spiritual fulfillment and happiness in a simple yet profound way.

Q5: How has this cross-border collaboration with Hot Toys inspired your artistic creation?

🎨Steven: This marks my first experience creating Disney characters. This journey has profoundly enriched my artistic practice. As the poet Emerson once said, "Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.” It is only by embracing our most authentic selves that we can truly shine in life. I am grateful to Hot Toys for the opportunity to reinterpret this classic story on its 85th anniversary. This collaboration beautifully merges tradition with innovation, showcasing Pinocchio's courageous, honest, and selfless journey of growth.
