Before that, i should state the purpose of this entry: to find products that roughly fall under 3 attributes of emotion, namely visceral, behavioural and reflective attributes. My chosen category is toys, and i'll be using the Spawn, Gundam, Transformers series as examples.
SPAWN
Visceral: Stunning impact of artwork. Detailed crafting and colouring makes it an eye candy (to me at least). Sure-fire attention grabber.
Reflective: portrays the self-image of the owner, reflects the owner's interests and character.
GUNDAM
Visceral: Beautiful designs that generally appeal to everyone.
Behavioural: Tremendous pleasure derived from construction of the model. Adjustable poses allows for many possibilities in usage (but mostly for display as well). Customizable look and feel of it creates different experiences everytime.
Reflective: Feel good factor derived upon completion of model (boosts confidence). Reflects certain qualities of owners (patience, eye for detail, etc).
TRANSFORMERS
Visceral: Not immediately liked by everyone. Looks like any other toy, but theres an enduring quality about it that won't fade away.
Behavioural: If you actually play with it (make it transform and stuff), you can still have a decent experience reliving the good old days when grades were the last thing on our minds.
Reflective: Vintage stuff man! Shows the owner's exquisite taste for truly valuable collectors' items.
