Viral Mahasiswa UGM Sulap Korek Api dan Botol Bekas Jadi Action Figure

Dream - A number of students from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) went viral after creating a collection of action figures using gas lighters and used plastic bottles. The items that are usually just discarded after use have now transformed into miniature works of art like Gundam and Transformer.

Interestingly, this action figure adopts various wayang characters such as Puntadewa-23, Janaka-04, Werkudara-02, and many more. This action figure is named Ferrumium, which combines digital elements in the form of Augmented Reality technology. Quoting from UGM's official website, this action figure was created by five Physics Engineering students.

They are Yohanes Mario Putra Bagus (Physics Engineering 2022), Bintang Putra Megantara (Physics Engineering 2022), Muhammad Fachrurrozy (Physics Engineering 2022), Muhammad Iqbal Fajri (Physics Engineering 2022), and Stephanie Chika Devanesa Daniarto (Physics Engineering 2022) under the guidance of Dr. Ir. Nur Abdillah Siddiq, S.T., IPP. "They developed the product through the grant funding of the Student Creativity Program - Entrepreneurship of the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education 2023," UGM wrote in a statement quoted on Wednesday, October 18, 2023.

Yohanes Mario Putra Bagus as the Head Developer of Ferrumium said that the creation of Ferrumium also stems from his love for mecha series, such as Gundam and Transformers. On the other hand, he is also concerned about the suboptimal waste management in the country. It is from this concern that they innovatively transform waste such as gas lighters, plastic bottles, and wood into aesthetic and economically valuable action figures.

"Unlike most miniature robots on the market that use plastic as raw material, Ferrumium is made from recycling waste such as gas lighters, bottles, and wood obtained from scavengers and waste banks,"

Mario explained the visualization of metal that is depicted through the dominance of gas lighters, making Ferrumium seem as if it is made of metal like a typical robot. The use of AR technology also becomes a characteristic of Ferrumium compared to other miniature robots.

The use of selected wayang characters aims to promote local wisdom in the form of wayang stories that are currently less favored by the community. According to them, each character has its own uniqueness based on the story in wayang. "With the Augmented Reality feature, buyers can enjoy 3D modeling through the Ferrumium application," added Bintang.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Bintang said that although made from used materials, Ferrumium does not have a worn-out or ordinary appearance. Ferrumium is made in such a way that it pays attention to the details and aesthetics of an action figure, resulting in a manifestation of art with a very attractive visual appearance. "Our action figures are designed with a height of 30 cm and a width of 10-15 cm, and they have a sturdy structure so they can be played with just like an action figure," said Bintang."

Ferrumium is also present as an educational tool, as the naming of the characters is based on the stories of wayang characters. In this way, Ferrumium becomes a medium for the introduction and preservation of national culture so that it is not eroded by the rapid development of time. "We market Ferrumium in a set that includes 1 Ferrumim, 1 stand, 3 stickers, and 1 application account. For one package, we sell it for Rp300,000," said Stephanie. This product is marketed through social media IG: @pkmugm_ferrumium and FB: pkmugm_ferrumium market place. In addition to this, the product is also available on Amazon and Shopee marketplaces.
