Question 1: What are cat stickers on laser figures? Cat stickers refer specifically to Toei Animation’s laser anti-counterfeiting mark, and the copyright is in the hands of Bandai, so Bandai products will have cat stickers. Some other companies also have their own laser anti-counterfeiting marks.

Question 2: Do the genuine figures have laser trademarks? If not, does it mean that they are not genuine? Any version is MIC, which is produced by factories in coastal areas of China. Workers are paid about 8 yuan per hour, which is cheap. You know the labor force.

Each version corresponds to the place of sale, not the place of production. For example, the Japanese version refers to the place of sale in Japan.

There are basically two versions: Japanese version and non-Japanese version (agent).

Because the Japanese version has been abroad, the price is a little higher than the agency version. In fact, the quality is not bad, and it is all blown out by JS (I spent more money on the same thing, so mine is naturally better than yours) Well, this kind of second-B mentality).

Toei's works will have cat stickers. The agency version of the cat has English characters, and the Japanese version of the cat has Japanese characters.

The agent version of Bandai's products will have a laser label with "Bandai" in traditional Chinese, but the Japanese version will not.

Bandai is Japan's largest toy manufacturing company. Its subsidiaries include: glasses factory, megahouse, PLEX, etc.

Bandai has almost monopolized all One Piece peripheral industries, animation (sponsorship), games, toys, etc.

Question 3: Does the Japanese version of the Golden Cat figure have a Bandai laser logo and warning sticker? The Japanese version does not have a laser sticker with the word "Bandai" on it. There is no copycat version of ZERO either.

Question 4: I bought a Kotobukiya figure, but why didn’t I see an anti-counterfeiting mark? Every figure has a label. Is there an agency logo (that is, a Chinese rectangular sticker at the bottom or next to it), or a Japanese version?

Don’t worry, it’s not that easy to be deceived

Question 5: Is there a laser logo? There is no radioactivity and there is no laser trademark. In fact, it should be called a laser anti-counterfeiting trademark. You will know if you look at the following principles. It has nothing to do with real laser rays

Laser anti-counterfeiting technology

Laser Anti-counterfeiting technology includes three aspects: laser holographic image anti-counterfeiting markings, encrypted laser holographic image anti-counterfeiting markings and laser holographic lithography anti-counterfeiting technology.

1. The first generation of laser anti-counterfeiting technology

The first generation of laser anti-counterfeiting technology is a laser molded holographic image anti-counterfeiting mark.

Holography was discovered by American scientist M. J. Buerger when he used X-rays to take photos of the atomic structure of crystals, and he established holography with D. Gaber. Theory: Using the principle of double-beam interference, the object light and another beam (reference beam) that is coherent with the object light generate an interference pattern, and the phases can be combined. Thus, the phase and amplitude can be recorded simultaneously with a photosensitive film, and the hologram can be obtained. image. However, holograms are taken based on the principle of interference and must be recorded with high-density (resolution) photosensitive films. Due to the poor monochromaticity and poor coherence of ordinary light sources, the development of holographic technology is slow and it is difficult to take decent holograms. Until the emergence of laser in the early 1960s, its high brightness, high monochromaticity and high coherence characteristics rapidly promoted the development of holographic technology. Many types of holograms were produced and the holographic theory was well verified. However, due to The special requirements for filming and reproduction have almost always been confined to the laboratory since its birth.

In the late 1970s, it was discovered that holographic images have a surface structure that includes three-dimensional information (i.e., criss-crossing interference fringes). This structure can be transferred to materials such as high-density photosensitive films. In 1980, American scientists used embossed holographic technology to transfer the holographic surface structure to polyester film, thereby successfully printing the world's first embossed holographic picture. This laser holographic picture is also called a rainbow holographic picture. It is Through laser plate making, images are produced on plastic films, producing colorful diffraction effects and giving the pictures a sense of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Under ordinary light, hidden images and information will reappear. When light shines from a certain angle, a new image appears. This kind of molded hologram can be reproduced in large quantities and quickly like printing, at a lower cost, and can be combined with various types of printed matter.

At this point, holography has taken a decisive step towards social application.

Since the production technology of this molded holographic image was a very advanced technology at that time and only a few people mastered it, it was used as an anti-counterfeiting mark. The anti-counterfeiting principle is:

1. During the entire process of shooting laser holographic pictures, if one condition is different (such as the conditions for shooting rainbow holograms), the effect of the holographic logo will be different.

2. The holographic information of this kind of holographic image cannot be captured by ordinary photography, so the holographic pattern is difficult to copy.

The first application of holographic images as anti-counterfeiting marks was Johnny Walke Whishy (a kind of whiskey). When it was applied in Thailand, sales were said to have increased by around 45%.

Laser embossed holographic anti-counterfeiting technology was introduced into our country in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Especially between 1990 and 1994, hundreds of production lines were introduced across the country, accounting for more than half of the world's manufacturers at that time. In the early days of its introduction, this anti-counterfeiting technology did play a certain role in preventing counterfeiting. However, as time went by, laser holographic image production technology spread rapidly. Now it has been broken by counterfeiters from all aspects, and its anti-counterfeiting ability has almost been completely lost.

Technical Comments

Laser anti-counterfeiting marks have the following inherent flaws when they are produced:

1. Only rely on the confidentiality and control of production technology to prevent counterfeiting .

2. It is a simple observation anti-counterfeiting technology. The main observation point is to see whether it is a holographic image, and secondly to see whether the pattern conforms to the published pattern. However, ordinary consumers can only distinguish it through careful comparison. Two different versions of the holographic logo were produced.

3. There is no technical method to prevent the anti-counterfeiting mark itself from being reused.

4. There is no technical method to prevent packaging with anti-counterfeiting marks from being reused.

5. There is no technical method to prevent counterfeiters from using bribery and other means to obtain anti-counterfeiting labels.

2. Improved laser holographic image anti-counterfeiting signs

Since the first generation of laser holographic anti-counterfeiting signs has completely lost its anti-counterfeiting function, people have to start improving it. There are three main improvement methods: the first is to use computer technology to improve the holographic image, the second is to develop a transparent laser holographic image anti-counterfeiting mark, and the third is to reflect the laser holographic image... >>
