Book Description
This essay sheds light on the future of the action figure industry and explicates how emerging technologies will revolutionize the action figure industry. Moreover, the benefits of leveraging robots in the action figure industry are demystified in this essay. Furthermore, how to earn substantial money online so that you can afford to procure your own action figure collection is expounded upon in this essay. The future of the action figure industry will not only be characterized by dynamism as it continues to metaphorically evolve, but will also be eminently auspicious for toy designers, supply chain members, retailers, and customers. Technological advancements are profoundly changing the action figure industry and are rendering it all the more technology driven. The behemoth action figure industry shows no signs of decelerating anytime in the imminent future. The behemoth action figure industry is subsumed under the sizeable global toy industry. The expansion of the global toy industry will be attributed to the rising demand for action figures as well as an increasing demand for other types of toys. "The global toys market is projected to reach revenues of more than $120,000,000 by 2023, growing at a compound annual growth rate of around 4% during 2017-2023" ("The global toys," 2018). "In 2019, retail sales of action figures and accessories in the United States alone amounted to approximately $1,710,000,000" (O'Connell, 2020). While the action figure market may not be the utmost largest market segment of the behemoth global toy market, its latent potential to grow to an unprecedented size should not be underestimated. As fictional intellectual properties, such as Marvel and Star Wars, become ever more popular worldwide, more adults and children will commence dabbling into action figure collecting. People love to procure action figures based on their favorite media franchises and customers deem action figures to be highly appealing products as a form of 3D art. The action figure industry unequivocally has products available for children and adults of all ages to relish in playing with and/or collecting, such as high quality action figures for adults or action figures with play features for children. The rapid growth of the action figure industry hinges upon the willingness of toy companies to produce desirable toys that their target market is directly requesting for them to produce. When toy companies simply acquiesce to giving the customers what they ultimately desire then this course of action helps contribute to the rapid growth of the action figure industry. On the other hand, when toy companies neglect to provide their customers with what they are directly asking for then it is often calamitous for the action figure industry and undermines its future growth potential. While the future of the action figure industry may seem enigmatic, the action figure industry is preordained to have a prosperous future in the coming years as more and more toy companies take heed of accommodating customer product requests and acknowledging customer feedback. By embracing customer feedback and accommodating customer product requests, toy companies can improve their product lines and deliver superior customer value to their target markets. The global toy industry is comprised of a myriad of lucrative market segments and is becoming ever more expansive as more and more adults are becoming collectors of toys, such as DC Multiverse Action Figures or NECA Action Figures. Adult collectors are not the only demographic cohort who are driving action figure industry growth. Children also relish adding action figures of fictional characters to their emerging action figure collections. Fortunately for toy companies, people who grow up collecting action figure from a young age are apt to continue this habit of procuring action figure as adults. The action figure industry is poised to have a robust and lucrative future.

"The recent trend of parents to purchase and invest in educational toys for cognitive development in children is fueling the growth of the global toys market. The increasing number of movies and television shows based on fictional characters will create a cult following among consumers and further propel the demand for the products in the global toys market. Moreover, the global toys market is driven by growing demand for art and craft toys, stuffed toys, and replicas of instruments, such as a keyboard, guitar, and drums. The increasing social media penetration, growing audience, and rising user engagement are major factors attributing to the growth of the global toys market. The different playthings through department stores, small chain stores, free-standing toys stores, catalog stores, and other non-tracked retail outlets are further driving the growth of toys designed for ages 5-12 in the global toys market" ("The global toys"). The vast variety of toys available allows the toy industry to have something to offer everyone. The future of the toy industry will continue to be dominated by major vendors apart of the toys market. In other words, the future of the toy industry will feature ample products from major vendors, such as Hasbro and Mattel. Classic toys, such as dolls, LEGO sets, remote controlled cars, and action figures will not be jettisoned from toy department anytime in the imminent future. Board "games and puzzles" ("The global toys") will also maintain a foothold in toy departments in big box retail stores in the coming years. The "games and puzzle segment for instance dominated 1/6th of total market share" ("The global toys").

This essay sheds light on the future of the robotics industry and explicates how robots will revolutionize ample industries. Moreover, the benefits of leveraging robots in global industries are demystified in this essay. Furthermore, how to earn substantial money online in the digital era so that you can afford to integrate robots into your own business is expounded upon in this essay. The future of the robotics industry will not only be characterized by dynamism as it continues to metaphorically evolve, but will also be eminently auspicious for robot manufacturing companies even though it will present fewer job opportunities for human laborers. In the coming years, the robotics industry will continue to make advancements to robotic technologies that extend beyond the ambit of robots being able to efficaciously leverage the power of deep learning to flawlessly execute learned tasks. Technological breakthroughs are being made in the growing field of robotics for the prospect of rendering robots intelligent and autonomous. "The current focus of the industry tends to be on giving robots vision. Specifically, the rise of machine vision technology. This, combined with the advancement of the Internet of Things, gives robots the ability to process images and understand what they are 'seeing'. As this technology continues to proliferate, the next step is giving robots the ability to apply these things to learn on their own. For example, a robot can currently be programmed to pick up and place items, but in the future, it will combine machine vision with machine learning to figure out its own programming through trial and error" (Davids, 2018). By leveraging machine learning and machine vision robots will be capable of seamlessly learning anything complex. In the coming decades, advancements will be made in the areas of machine learning, machine vision, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and robotic mobility. In the coming years, the robotics industry will also give rise to more collaborative robots which will work alongside human laborers. "This reflects the focus of the industry towards creating robots that are simpler, easier to program, and able to integrate into current processes. To make these robots safe, there is a large market for safety sensors that ensure humans can work alongside the robots without any significant risks. Machine vision will contribute to this as well, offering robots the ability to 'see' when someone is in their workspace" (Davids, 2018). Human will work alongside collaborative robots in order to be able to complete tasks more efficiently and productivity through sequential collaboration efforts. The future of the robots industry is not limited to advancements in collaborative robots, such as hand guiding collaborative robots or "speed and separation" ("What are the," 2019) collaborative robots. "The future will continue to enhance technologies, such as 3D embedded vision, multispectral, and hyperspectral imaging. This, combined with artificial intelligence and deep learning, will empower industrial robots to improve themselves and keep pace with the human workers around them" (Davids, 2018). In the coming decades, robots will have the capability to outperform human laborers in every facet a job as they become more technologically advanced. Robots will not only be able to teach themselves how to perform cumbersome tasks, but will also be able to incessantly work without taking breaks nor making errors. Robots can also work around the clock without succumbing to fatigue and can also work in a lights out environment with air conditioning. Beyond collaborative robots becoming more prevalently leveraged by companies in the pending years, industrial robots will also be utilized more by companies in the coming years. "The industrial robot industry for instance is expected to grow 175% over the next nine years and will result in more competition and innovation" (Davids, 2018).

Book Description
World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.

Book Description
This essay sheds light on who are the scalpers of the action figure market, explicates how scalpers affect the market dynamics of the action figure market, and expounds upon how toy companies can prevent supply shortages of action figures in the action figure market. Succinctly stated, the scalpers of the action figure market are the resellers of the action figure market. The scalpers of the action figure market are not just ordinary resellers who are amenable to selling products at reasonable markups that are not significantly above their retail price points, but rather are resellers who are keen on maximizing their profits. The scalpers of the action figure market are able to maximize their profits by charging exorbitant premium prices for their products. The scalpers of the action figure market will often sell their products at steep price points that are 50%-1,000% higher than their retail price points. The scalpers of the action figure market are also often disinterested in offerings promotions on their products to the members of their target market. The scalpers of the action figure market will also often not make concessions on the pricing of their products to help action figure collectors to be able to complete their action figure collections. The scalpers of the action figure market are also often eminently reticent about lowering the pricing of their products and will also often wait for their products to sell at their steep asking prices since they have purview over almost the entirety of the supply of desirable action figures on the secondhand market. Action figure collectors seldomly sell their action figures on the secondhand market. In contexts in which former action figure collectors decide to sell their action figures on the secondhand market, they will then often charge steep premium prices for their action figures that are significantly more expensive than their retail prices. Former action figure collectors who sell their action figures via the secondhand market also want to receive top dollar for their action figures even though they may possibly be all the more amenable to entertaining offers for their action figures than scalpers. The scalpers of the action figure market are resellers who are often the primary purveyors of desirable discontinued action figures on the secondhand market. The scalpers of the action figure market are also often inclined to purchase as many highly desirable action figures from retailers as possible that are egregiously underproduced and that there is sizeable customer demand for at their retail prices. When highly desirable action figures of fantasy characters who are derived from popular mass media franchises have sizeable customer demand for them at their retail prices and are egregiously underproduced, then it renders them all the more apt to significantly appreciate in value post becoming sold out at brick-and-mortar retail stores and on the e-commerce websites of e-commerce retailers. This is because most highly desirable action figures of fantasy characters who are derived from popular mass media franchises will never become reproduced once their respective production runs have ended even though there is tremendous pent-up customer demand for these highly desirable action figures at their retail prices that remains eminently unsatisfied post these highly desirable action figures no longer being available at retail stores due to them being sold out at retail stores. Highly desirable action figures of fantasy characters who are derived from popular mass media franchises are often not produced in sufficient quantities to be able to satisfy sizeable customer demand for them at their retail prices. If highly desirable action figures of fantasy characters who are derived from popular mass media franchises were produced in sufficient quantities to satisfy sizeable customer demand for them, then they would be far less apt to significantly appreciate in value post them no longer being available at retail stores due to them being sold out at retail stores. If most action figure collectors were able to buy highly desirable action figures of fantasy characters who are derived from beloved mass media franchises at retail stores prior to the advent of them becoming sold out at retail stores, then it would be significantly more cumbersome for scalpers to sell their action figures at enormous markups on the secondhand market at steep price points that are 50%-1,000% higher than their retail price points.
