Jazwares Pokémon Figures Bring Pocket Monster Magic to BEI Electronics' Quality Standards

QUINCY, IL – November 8, 2023 – BEI Electronics LLC, a leading provider of precision motion control and electronic manufacturing services, is proud to be a key manufacturing partner in bringing the wildly popular Jazwares Pokémon figures to life. While BEI is known for intricate engineering in industries like medical devices and aerospace, many may not realize the company also applies its rigorous quality control and advanced manufacturing capabilities to consumer products loved by millions – like these collectible Pokémon figures. For those unfamiliar, Jazwares is a globally recognized leader in consumer products, specializing in licensed and owned intellectual property. They’re the folks behind a huge range of toys, plushies, and collectibles, and their Pokémon line is massive. We're talking hundreds of different Pokémon, each carefully designed and manufactured. So, what's the deal with these Pokémon figures? They’re not just simple plastic toys. Jazwares has really nailed the look of each Pokémon, bringing the characters from the beloved video games, trading card game, and animated series into 3D form. Fans can collect everything from the iconic Pikachu and Charmander to lesser-known but equally loved Pokémon like Scorbunny and Grookey. The figures come in a few different scales and styles. You’ve got the basic 4-inch figures – perfect for play and display. These are super popular because they’re affordable and represent a huge chunk of the Pokémon roster. Then there are the larger, more detailed figures – think 6-inch and bigger – that are geared towards collectors. These are the ones that really showcase the artistry and detail Jazwares puts into each sculpt. And let's not forget the special editions – shiny Pokémon, chase figures, and themed releases – that keep collectors coming back for more. BEI Electronics’ Role: Precision Manufacturing & Quality Assurance This is where BEI Electronics comes in. Jazwares relies on BEI’s expertise in high-precision manufacturing to ensure these figures meet their exacting standards. BEI’s facility in Quincy, Illinois, is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed by a team of highly skilled technicians. "We're talking about consistently reproducing incredibly detailed molds, ensuring vibrant paint application, and rigorous quality checks at every stage of the process," explains a BEI manufacturing engineer. “It's not just about making plastic figures; it's about capturing the essence of each Pokémon and delivering a product that fans will cherish.” Specifically, BEI handles several key manufacturing processes: Precision Injection Molding: The figures themselves are created using a process called injection molding. BEI’s advanced molding machines and tooling ensure consistent dimensions, smooth surfaces, and accurate reproduction of intricate details. This is vital – even a tiny imperfection can ruin the look of a Pokémon figure. Paint Application & Finishing: Many Pokémon have complex color schemes and markings. BEI utilizes automated painting systems and skilled technicians to apply vibrant, durable paint coats that capture the character’s unique appearance. They also handle the application of decals and other finishing touches. Assembly & Quality Control: Some figures require assembly of multiple parts. BEI's assembly lines ensure these parts are securely and accurately joined. Throughout the entire process, BEI employs a comprehensive quality control system, including visual inspections, dimensional measurements, and functional testing, to identify and eliminate any defects. This includes checking for color matching, paint flaws, and structural integrity. Packaging & Logistics: BEI also assists with aspects of packaging, ensuring the figures are safely and securely packaged for distribution. "We treat every Pokémon figure like it’s a critical medical device component," jokes a BEI quality control inspector. "The level of scrutiny is high. We're looking for anything that doesn't meet spec." Why This Partnership Works The collaboration between Jazwares and BEI Electronics is a natural fit. Jazwares brings the creative vision and licensing expertise, while BEI provides the manufacturing prowess and commitment to quality.
