DesignerCon Honors 'BUCKET MAN' with Rising IP Award
DesignerCon, a global platform connecting design, art, fashion, and culture, has recognised 'BUCKET MAN' for its outstanding potential. The anime IP, created by Stephen Fung, won the Rising IP Award at DesignerCon's 20th anniversary event in Hong Kong.
BUCKET MAN's potential was evident in its immediate sell-out of a limited edition collectible figure, demonstrating strong collector demand and rising cultural significance. The figure, released in collaboration with the artist Michael Lau, utilised Physical Backed Token (PBT) technology.
Stephen Fung, the creator of BUCKET MAN, expressed gratitude for the recognition. He described the IP as a creative platform connecting diverse forms of art, culture, and imagination. DesignerCon's recognition is a testament to this vision, as the platform itself bridges various creative industries.
Looking ahead, BUCKET MAN plans to expand through cross-industry collaborations. These will focus on developing animation and webtoons, while also exploring opportunities in designer toys, fashion, and music.
DesignerCon's recognition of 'BUCKET MAN' signals the IP's growing influence in the creative world. With plans to expand through cross-industry collaborations and develop animation and webtoons, BUCKET MAN's future looks promising. The Rising IP Award at DesignerCon 2025 is just the beginning for this creative platform.
