>painting logos instead of sculpting them only shows how cheap those figures truly wereI really love how a cheapo trick toy companies used to lower the budget of their toys is seen as a premium feature now.
Sculpting in a logo (and lines like spidermans webs on the costume) is a cost cutting feature, because you can easily spray mask it and/or do a wash to fill i nthe details (or dry brushed it for raised details).
A tampograph is more expensive than a spray mask, as is tampographing in all the weblines (even a spray mask for the lines is more expensive than the wash sculpted lines get)
And can you out yourselves as moviecasuals any harder? Only movies started doing rubber costumes with raised details, because hollywood deems spandex to be too childish and not for mature adults such as themselves.
But authentic comic book costumes? Spandex with designs on them, not rubber muscles and raised logos. Hence Essentials doing a far better job at paint than Hasbro.
Also, while I'm expounding on this shit, that cyborg superman has darker paint for the inner parts of his cyborg parts, plus dry brushing. You don't get that on most Hasbro figures. That cheetah has a high class airbrushing to mix the inner and outer colors of her fur. Who even does a two tone color job for other cat themed superheroes, muchless that transitioning? Even comics only really do that for painted covers, where more attention to detail is given.
