Intricately detailed Hong Kong protester figurines have become the latest must-have collectibles as toy stores recreate the pro-democracy movement’s street battles with police in their shop displays.
“We hope the figurines can reconstruct the situation with authenticity,” said Charlie, a 30-year-old freelance photographer by day, who asked to use a pseudonym. Others have scrapes on their legs from street skirmishes and almost all have removable gas masks that have become ubiquitous during the protests.
“I want to raise peoples’ awareness within the movement and hopefully the figurines will allow more people to know what has happened in Hong Kong,” Charlie said. One manufacturer, he said, suddenly refused to make yellow raincoats, a symbol of the movement which has adopted the color.Hong Kong’s protests were sparked by a now-abandoned proposal to allow extraditions to the authoritarian mainland, where the opaque legal system answers to the Communist Party.Among key protester, demands are an independent inquiry into the police, an amnesty for the thousands arrested and fully free elections.
Public opinion is such clear. Yet, Carrie Lam’s Gov never listen but keep brown-nosing CCPChina by trying to erase Hong Kong people with free minds from existence! These protest models would become a history of Hong Kong which stands against a totalitarian regime! StandWithHK
Art & music inspire and motivate Hong Kongers. While merchandises are typically aimed to provide financial support to those in need, forming an conscience economy. 'StandwithHongKong by boycotting Chinese products & firms. Ur support matters!' SanctionChinaCCP 5Demands
