>>11529236>you asked me for any proof to back up my claims that 1:18 costs nearly as much to produce as 1:12 but i won't tell you cause you're too dumb!It's like I'm really talking to a 2nd grader.
>>11529164I've been on /toy/ since it was created in 2008 and there's never been any person who has first hand or even second hand knowledge about the molds.
We've had employees and artists who've worked at toy companies posting here before, but none of them knew what was going on in China or the manufacturing process. IT seems only the higher ups know anything about that shit... and Chinese slaves, but they don't know english, thus have never posted on any English speaking website.
I've been to a lot of panels where industry people talk, but they're not on the technical side of things, so they don't even know about the plastics that they use.
Personally, i have relatives who have produced toys, but they don't produce action figures. They've only produced trinkets and figurines. Most of my knowledge is about molds and a little about paint.
Fuckwits like
>>11529236 just muddy up the waters, because they heard from some random poster on the internet who heard it from some some anonymous guy who sounded kinda knowledgable that toy manufacturing for 1:18 suddenly got expensive for no reason at all, so that's the gospel truth from now on. And if it gets repeated, it's an undeniably a fact, because that's the only documentation that's needed, because who cares about an actual source (a 4H interview where they lied to justify their high prices and scale switch).
pic of a mold and how much shit you can fit on it. Imagine a smaller toy being able to fit even more shit on here because their pieces are smaller, thus saving money on creating another mold....
