Enterprises in east China’s Jiangsu province are racing to produce Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing Winter Olympics. On Sunday, a spokesman of the Beijing Winter Olympics said the Organizing Committee will increase the product offerings for the mascot Bing Dwen Dwen in response to the rising popularity of the mascot and a recent shortage of stock.
An enterprise in Qidong County of Jiangsu province, one of the top three licensed manufacturers of plush toys in the country for the Beijing Winter Olympics, received an urgent order from a Beijing retailer on the production of 7,000 sets of Bing Dwen Dwen.
Yuan Yinghui, Deputy CEO of a Licensed Manufacturer in Qidong
Today we started the first day with 35 workers.From now on,2,000 sets of Bing Dwen Dwen will be produced every day.
Turning the Beijing Olympic mascot Bing Dwen Dwen from a floor plan into a finished doll requires fine polishing and repeated perfection.
Wang Danfeng, Head of Designing of a Licensed Manufacturer in Qidong
After three or four times of proofing,we finally decided to use this food-grade silicone shell to create the feeling of ice.It is soft in the hand,and it is harmless for children to put it in the mouth and eat it.
Four days after the opening of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, Bing Dwen Dwen, the Games' official mascot, is as appealing to people as athletes' performances, as figurines of the mascot are sold out of stores all over China.
