These two days, reachable duck has become popular on the Chinese Internet. For this classic baokemeng, which first appeared in the early generation of "baokemeng" game - "baokemeng: Red / green", the impression of most non baokemeng fans in China should come from the adapted animation "Magic Baby" broadcast on TV as a child.
In the animation in which the protagonist Xiaozhi has just begun to become a baokemeng trainer, Da Da duck, as one of the exclusive water baokemeng of Xiaoxia, a member of the protagonist group, has made many domestic audiences remember its name because of its strong strength under the appearance.
Of course, the position of reachable duck in the expression package industry can not be underestimated
However, the popularity of reachable duck on the Internet is not due to the original game or the adaptation of animation, but because KFC specially launched a set of "Baoke dream" co branded toys for this year's children's day.
This set of toys includes a Pikachu music box, a Pikachu kettle and a reachable duck music box.
If according to the popularity in the animation, Pikachu is definitely a well deserved protagonist - but this time, its limelight has been robbed by the supporting actor reacher.
As for the reason, after starting, this reachable duck toy will play magic brainwashing music while rhythmically rotating its body to "dance". Coupled with the cute expression of reachable duck itself, it naturally forms an inexplicable smile.
But this is not the real reason why reachable duck toys are out of the circle. It depends on the intelligence of netizens to make this toy popular on the Internet. It was soon discovered that the real playing method of this toy is far richer than simply being a decoration.
For example, after watching the "Dancing" of the reachable duck, do you immediately imagine it as a cheerleader? As long as you stick a piece of paper with different short sentences on the reachable duck's hands, the reachable duck will turn into your exclusive "call duck", playing magical music and waving a piece of paper there to cheer you on.
After discovering this way of playing, many people also began to write articles on the content of paper. After all, in this era of inner volume everywhere, even a reachable duck should strive to make it the king of inner volume among many "call ducks".
First of all, those who came on stage were the most inwardly involved migrant workers in reality. They expressed their dissatisfaction with 996 through the hand of reachable duck.
LSPs who suffer from abstinence are also trying to give up their pursuit of this secular desire through the spiritual hypnotic effect of duck magic dance.
However, some people hope that with the help of this inspiring reachable duck, transshipment can be realized. For example, residents who are suffering from the epidemic hope to borrow the silly and cute expression of Da duck to bring them some laughter.
Also hoping to transfer, there are contemporary young people who have just invested their wages in the stock market and funds.
Interestingly, because Da Da duck raises his left and right hands before and after dancing, you can also use this feature to realize some mysterious expressions. Of course, the most common one must be the bad breath of netizens.
With the rising popularity of reachable duck placards, some official numbers also began to come to an end.
For example, never missed any hot spot of China's fire protection. This time, we started the popular reachable duck toy for the first time, and took the opportunity to publicize a wave of fire protection knowledge.
I'm afraid the microblog operation of Henan Museum is not so lucky. I didn't buy reachable duck, so I just took the same collection P myself.
Gradually, netizens seem to feel that just writing a piece of paper has no characteristics. In terms of technical content, it also depends on who will play cross dressing for da da duck.
As a result, all kinds of reachable ducks dancing with strange shapes began to appear on major short video platforms.
Among them, there are folk songs in Northern Shaanxi with strong local characteristics.
There are also future science and technology funds from foreign countries.
But anyway, the reachable duck is really out of the circle this time. At present, most KFC restaurants, large and small, across the country have fallen into the dilemma of "duck".
This kind of children's food toy, which is childish but just good for adults, has quickly become a hard currency that is no less popular than trendy play - those who buy it are complacent, while those who can't buy it can only look at the "duck" and sigh.

Behind the looting of reachable duck toys, in fact, scalpers are frantically raising prices for resale.

At present, in the second-hand seafood market, the price of a reachable duck music box generally ranges from 50 to 100 yuan. You know, the price of a double meal of KFC children's package is only less than 70 yuan. Now a duck toy can easily change into a double meal, which shows how exaggerated its premium in the second-hand market is.
What's more outrageous is that today, some people even hang the reachable duck toys limited in the mainland on the coal stove, a Japanese second-hand trading platform, and the price is as high as 15999 yen (about 836 yuan). At present, it seems that a deal has been made.
I don't know what kind of psychology the buyer is out of to buy such a toy with a premium of more than ten times, but it's not the first time that scalpers have increased the price to resell KFC children's toys.
In recent years, KFC has repeatedly launched linkage toys with baokemeng. Because it is officially authorized by "baokemeng", naturally, many fans of "baokemeng" want to start.
But every time KFC's new model is launched, it is bound to be robbed by scalpers. Through various channels, they start with a large number of popular models in these toys, and then change hands in batches and hang them on the second-hand seafood market, selling them to baokemeng fans and buyers who want to follow suit at a high price.
You may even find a style between one or two from a crowd of high priced ducks.
Although this is not the first time that the goods have been robbed by scalpers, KFC officials do not seem to have taken any effective preventive measures. Take the reachable duck this time. Now you can still see a pile of buyers urging replenishment under KFC's official microblog, but the official has not given any clear answer to the problem of shortage.
There are even rumors that behind the shortage of reachable ducks, KFC employees are reselling reachable duck toys themselves. In some places, there are even claims that toys can only be reserved after customers recharge a certain amount. Although these online rumors have not been confirmed, it has to be said that the heat of this wave of duck has changed somewhat.
Children's Day toys originally prepared for children have now been looted by many adults, and most of them may not be real "baokemeng" fans. If only to follow the trend and join the fun, they compete for reachable duck toys, and finally even do not hesitate to increase the price from scalpers and second-hand platforms, to some extent, scalpers harvest a wave of their IQ tax, which may be a just move.
High school politics taught us that the price of goods is affected by the relationship between supply and demand and the value itself. And this kind of collective madness around a certain commodity will not last long. In the end, the disappointment may be the children and fans who originally only wanted to have a "Baoke dream" toy.
Maybe before long, the price of reachable duck toys in the second-hand market will fall to the normal level. At that time, those scalpers and buyers who used to rush around for reachable duck toys may be launching a new round of competition around a new online popular product.
This kind of thing seems to be perfectly normal now. Whether it's fried shoes, fried tide cards or fried hands, the rules are the same in the final analysis. If something is hot, it will rush up and loot in a swarm, regardless of whether it is really needed. Out of the demand of speculation or following the trend, these short-lived explosive funds will always have a huge and incredible market, but they will always quickly become unattractive after a short madness. Although we recognize that everyone has the right to choose which products they want to buy, rational consumption and not blindly creating demand are the most correct consumption concept at present.
You want to ask me why I have so much nonsense? I can only tell you that at this time last year, I also bought a "baokemeng" music box from KFC. I was going to make a profit in the seafood market when the price rose. As a result, it was not long before no one wanted it at all. Up to now, it is still eating ash in my cabinet.
If it weren't for writing this manuscript, maybe I would have completely forgotten its existence.
