CNC Revolution Co., Ltd. announced that it will sell limited edition articulated dolls of the main characters ‘Jubelian’, ‘Max’, and ‘Regis’ from the popular webtoon “Dad, I Don’t Want to Get Married!”?which has recorded a cumulative 57 million views on KakaoPage?on the website of Macaron Doll Co., Ltd. (Darakai) for one month from November 27 to December 26.

CNC Revolution Co., Ltd. is releasing the first articulated dolls based on a webtoon IP through the ‘Korea Creative Content Agency Content IP Licensing Support’ project. The male protagonists ‘Max’ and ‘Regis’ are produced at 75cm tall, and the female protagonist ‘Jubelian’ at 64cm. The dolls not only capture the sculptural beauty of the webtoon characters but also impress with detailed expressions of props and costumes from the work.

The bodies used for these articulated dolls consist of a total of 16 joints, naturally expressing human movement, with triple-jointed arms and legs that can be fixed in desired poses. Thanks to this sophisticated manufacturing technology, iconic scenes from the webtoon can be freely recreated, and the elaborate costumes and hairstyles from the webtoon are faithfully reproduced to enhance realism. In particular, various costumes and accessories for the characters will be released in new versions in the future to expand the product lineup.

Macaron Doll Co., Ltd. (Darakai), responsible for the doll collaboration with CNC Revolution Co., Ltd., has secured many doll fans not only domestically but also overseas, having held special exhibitions in the United States and France. This doll, which incorporates over 10 years of Darakai’s expertise, is the first articulated doll based on a webtoon.

The webtoon “Dad, I Don’t Want to Get Married!” concluded its main storyline last September and plans to serialize a side story in early 2024. It is distributed in nine languages worldwide and is a globally popular work that won the ‘2022 Kuaikan Highest Paid Sales Award (China)’ and the ‘2022 Piccoma Awards Aqua Prize (Japan)’. The story features the tragic villainess ‘Jubelian’, who is falsely accused of poisoning a princess, abandoned by her lover and father, and meets her end by the crown prince’s sword, unfolding an exciting narrative. The webtoon’s print editions have sold over 100,000 copies in Japan and have been published in Korean, French, German, Thai, and English (including planned publications). In August, it was released as a moving toon in China, expanding the IP’s reach.

Darakai’s CEO Moon Jedae said, “We put a lot of effort into embodying the protagonist’s personality and iconic image,” adding, “Transforming 2D images into 3D dolls was a very fresh experience.” CEO Lee Jae-sik of CNC Revolution Co., Ltd. expressed his ambition, stating, “We will open the premium goods market for webtoon IPs starting with this articulated doll project.”

CNC Revolution Co., Ltd., founded in 2001, is a specialized production company for webtoons and web novels, planning, producing, and distributing competitive works. Recently, it has launched works such as Naver Webtoon’s “The Player Hid the Past,” “Became the Mother of the Male Lead in a Dark Story,” KakaoPage’s “I Will Become the Black Curtain’s Poison Identification Expert,” and Ridibooks’ “Threshold” and “Legas,” expanding its reach beyond Korea to overseas markets.
