In a heartwarming twist, a devoted father, Alex, decided to create a custom chem-ball purse for his daughter, Lily, inspired by the character “Honey Lemon” from the animated film Big Hero 6. Honey Lemon, known for her brilliance in chemistry and engineering, wields a magical purse that allows her to concoct various chemical combinations for her superhero missions.
Lily had the costume ready, but she was missing the iconic purse, which was essential for completing her look. Not one to back down from a challenge, Alex, who is the kind of dad that takes his daughter to Comic Con, set out on a mission to make one himself. With little experience in crafting such items, he dedicated around 30 hours to the project, including 10 hours of watching YouTube tutorials to learn the ropes.
Alex admitted that the most challenging part was the initial planning phase, but once he started, the process turned out to be less daunting than he had expected. “Foam is forgiving and inexpensive,” he noted, which helped him along the way.
The final product was nothing short of impressive: a purse with illuminating features, a periodic table design, and a magnetic port for holding the chem-balls until Lily was ready to use them. When they arrived at Comic Con, the duo was met with enthusiastic recognition from fellow fans, and many wanted to snap photos with Lily in her costume.
This touching story highlights not only the special bond between a father and daughter but also the ongoing issues within the toy industry regarding female representation. While there are action figures for the main characters of Big Hero 6, including Honey Lemon, there is still a noticeable gap in the availability of diverse action figures and accessories for girls. This trend has been seen in other franchises as well, raising important questions about representation in toys.
As Alex reflects on his successful creation, he’s already considering his next project, as Lily has her sights set on dressing as Go Go Tomago for the next Comic Con.
