"不吃饭可以,不买盲盒不行。" 盲盒在95后00后年轻人中流行开来。12月11日,靠卖盲盒起家的泡泡玛特正式登陆港交所,成功挂牌上市。
依据公开信息,泡泡玛特发行价为38.5港元/股,上市首日开盘涨幅100.26%,市值一度超1100亿港元。
你也许会问盲盒怎么这么火?
借用电影《阿甘正传》的一句经典台词,"生活就像一盒巧克力,你永远不知道下一块会是什么味道。如果放在现在,可能会被改成"生活就像一盒盲盒,你永远不知道下一个开出的是什么。
近几年,"盲盒热"日渐成为我国潮玩文化的突出现象之一。
有人说盲盒是智商税,有人说盲盒像赌博,但在更多年轻人眼中,盲盒意味着一份能带来惊喜的"小确幸"。而盲盒本身,也在考古、文物等IP(知识产权)入场后,被赋予更多文化内涵。这种由不确定性带来的惊喜,以及Molly、PUCKY等潮玩IP形成的独特玩偶形象,激发了不少人的收集欲望,让盲盒作为"潮玩"的典型代表迅速走红。
什么是盲盒?
盲盒,顾名思义,重点在于"盲",同样的包装里装着不同的玩偶手办,盒身上通常有整个系列的玩偶造型图片,但在你付完钱、拆开盒子前,你并不知道自己究竟选中的是什么款式,只有在盒子被拆开的那一瞬间,"谜底"才会揭晓。如果运气好的话,还能抽中特别的"隐藏款"。
知识点:盲盒的英文怎么说?
1、 直译:blind box-Blind Box or Blind Packaged means you don't know which specific design from a series you might be receiving. The boxes and/or bags are sealed and we don't know which toy is inside them.
2、 "盲盒"最大的特点是"神秘感",只有打开后,才能"一睹芳容"。所以英文中也可以说"mystery boxes"或者“mystery toy boxes”。

The concept of "mystery boxes" has its origins in Japan where retailers would sell overstock commodities in mysterious "lucky bags". Uncertainty and addiction have become the wealth code for Pop Mart. These toys are usually part of a series, so getting the whole set has become the main driver behind the "irrationality. "For Pop Mart lovers ,the excitement and expectation of unpacking the boxes is already worth the price tag.
"盲盒"的概念起源于日本,那里的零售商会用神秘的"福袋"出售积压的商品。 不确定性和成瘾性已成为泡泡玛特的财富准则。 这些玩具通常是系列玩具的一部分,因此获得整套玩具成为"非理性"背后的主要驱动力。 对于泡泡玛特爱好者来说,打开包装盒的兴奋和期望已经值这个价钱了。
