Development of “Mister Durian” Giant Cartoon IP Mascot Sculpture

IP Sculpture

The goal of this project is to design and manufacture a giant, eye-catching cartoon mascot sculpture based on the “King of Fruits”—the durian. Utilizing high-quality fiberglass (FRP), the sculpture aims to transform the distinct, spiky texture of the durian into a friendly, vibrant, and approachable commercial IP character. This larger-than-life “Big Doll” (Grand Sculpture) will serve as a landmark installation for a themed shopping mall, tropical fruit festival, or amusement park, designed to attract foot traffic, enhance brand identity, and create a highly shareable, Instagram-worthy photo spot.
