動漫人物的仿真小模型，迪斯尼動畫中的人物模型，這些都屬于動畫產(chǎn)業(yè)的周邊產(chǎn)品，但是這一類產(chǎn)品還有個自己的名字，手辦。這個名字來源于日語，英文中多叫做garage kit。

A garage kit or resin kit is an assembly scale model kit most commonly cast in polyurethane resin.

手辦（garage kit或resin kit）指由聚氨脂樹脂制成的比例模型套裝。

They are often model figures portraying humans or other living creatures. In Japan, kits often depict anime characters, and in the United States depictions of movie monsters are common. However, kits are produced depicting a wide range of subjects, from characters from horror, science fiction, fantasy films, television and comic books to original works of art, as well as upgrade and conversion kits for existing models.

手辦通常是人物或其他生物的模型。在日本，這一類模型套裝多事動漫人物，而在美國，電影中的怪物通常是手辦的主角。不過，也有手辦套裝展現(xiàn)的是更加寬泛的主題，有恐怖片、科幻片、魔幻片、電視和漫畫書中的人物，也有原創(chuàng)藝術(shù)作品中的人物，還有現(xiàn)存套裝模型升級換代的版本。

Originally garage kits were amateur-produced and the term originated with dedicated hobbyists using their garages as workshops. Unable to find model kits of subjects they wanted on the market, they began producing kits of their own. As the market expanded professional companies began making similar kits. Sometimes a distinction is made between true garage kits, made by amateurs, and resin kits, manufactured professionally by companies.

最開始的時候，手辦都是業(yè)余愛好者自己制作的，也是因為這些業(yè)余愛好者最早把車庫作為工作坊制作手辦，所以才有了garage kit這個說法。因為在市場上找不到自己想要的模型，他們就開始自己制作。隨著這個市場不斷擴(kuò)大，專業(yè)公司也開始制作手辦套裝。有時候，手辦的說法會因為制作者不同而有所區(qū)別，業(yè)余愛好者制作的就叫g(shù)arage kit，而專業(yè)公司制作的就叫resin kit（樹脂套裝）。
