Services · What YiQi does in practice

IP, production and brand, under one roof.

YiQi is not just a factory or a trading agency. We create original IP and animation, we run a controlled art toy and collectible production path in China, and we build full brand identities, with European creative direction and on-the-ground execution.

A · IP & content production

We create the IP, not only the product.

As executive producers within beQ Entertainment, we originate and develop original properties and bring them to screen, with European creative direction and Chinese production capacity.

01

Original IP creation & development

Concept, characters, world-building and narrative for properties built to scale across animation, licensing and product. We shape an idea into an IP that can travel.

02

Animation & cartoon production

From script and design to finished episodes. Our own series Jack The Red, co-produced with China's Mapple Toon, is produced this way: European storytelling, executed on the ground.

03

Advertising & branded content

Commercials, promos and branded stories produced end to end, applying the same creative and production discipline to a brand's own message.

Licensing & cross-media development

Extending a property into new formats, audiences and markets, keeping the world coherent as it grows from screen to shelf.

B · Art Toy & collectible production

The production discipline we are known for.

A managed, monitored path from the first feasibility study to the final pre-shipment inspection, so a property reaches the market exactly as approved.

01

Curated factory matchmaking

We identify the right manufacturing partner for the specific product logic, material, quality level, and scale required. Plush, PVC, electronics, blind boxes and premium collectibles all demand different competencies; choosing correctly at the start changes the entire project trajectory.

02

Tooling & IP custody

We help protect molds, design files, specifications and production assets, reducing the risk of unauthorized copies, misuse, or non-approved runs. Your tooling stays accounted for and monitored, not exposed.

03

Prototyping & engineering

We guide the transition from 2D or 3D design into a manufacturable product, including the creation and approval of the golden sample that becomes the reference point for the full production run.

04

On-site quality control

We supervise production in person, including in-line checks and pre-shipment inspections. Local presence is essential to prevent quality drift and to solve issues before they become expensive problems.

05

Compliance & lab coordination

We coordinate testing with certified third-party labs in China, helping ensure products meet the standards required by destination markets, before they ship, not after.

Workflow · Two phases

Structured so you stay in control of risk and cost.

Phase 01

Feasibility & matchmaking

Assess technical viability before committing.

  • Assess technical viability of the product
  • Identify the right factories for the job
  • Obtain real, transparent quotations
  • Define materials, quality level and scale
Phase 02

Mass production management

Active execution of the order, end to end.

  • In-line inspections & quality follow-up
  • Golden-sample reference enforcement
  • Logistics oversight & export support
  • Issue resolution before it gets costly
Transparency

An open-book way of working.

YiQi does not create value by hiding margins inside inflated material costs or unclear supplier pricing. You understand what the factory is charging, and what YiQi is charging for supervision, management and execution. Nothing buried, nothing implied.

360° Coordinated image

Brand identity for companies, not only for toys.

The same craft we use to build our own characters, applied to a company's brand. For IP owners and for businesses with nothing to do with toys, we design a coherent image that holds together everywhere it appears.
