>>8461016He for sure said it, and just to clarify on what he said I transcribed his statement, primarily for others to read over.
@50:17 in the video here
>>8455233 he begins talking about April.
He lets slip that she's more based off of the cartoon, here and then says she's a cross between the cartoon and the vintage toy:
>"She's much more cartoon acu-- I mean toy and you know it's sort of a cross between the two, but she's much, much more, I hate to say 'on model' than she was before. But that might be a polite way of saying it. Most people were like, 'that looks like shit!'"Here, he says that they're not going to be as toy accurate with April:
>"There's certain bits where we're very slavish to the toys, and then there's certain bits where you're inspired and evolved them, and so she's got a little bit of both. Where, uh, it's a good reminder to say, 'oh, yeah, we should probably share an update on April, just so people know where she's at.' But she's been updated fairly significantly. Uh, and-- she looks great! She looks great! Uh, 'Cause I think we can all sit here and say ok, on the last one like , 'she looked ok, she was alright, yeah, ok cool.'"He then explains how adult collectors have certain ideas of what they're favorite female characters should look like:
>"Anytime you're selling a female figure to male, predominately male collectors, they bring a lot of baggage to that figure from when they were 12. Uh... that, was the first time when they were like, 'is that what a woman looks like?"He then compares it to She-Ra, and how she should look like a hot woman with big boobs, because that's what adult collectors want:
>"I can guarantee you with She-ra there's a whole a lot of that. Uh, if you look at the way She-Ra was animated, that was a 26-year-old woman, you know, that was not a 16-year-old sister of He-Man."
