>>11128813>the Knight toy you used previously was a bad exampleIt's not. That fact that you think it even is just shows how ignorant you are.
Nevermind materials being worse before and physics of plastics, but I bet you didn't even know that toys were tradtionally sculpted in larger scales and then shrunk down.
Two ups and such fell out of favor in the late 90s and 00s, when companies realized that more detail could be carved into their toys (thanks McFarlane) than they previously thought and were hiring better sculptors than ever. So the higher end talent allowed them to skip a step.
That step was using a pantograph that copies the details 99.999901%, but sometimes slaves would fuck up the ratio and a toy would be 1.3x taller than it would have been (famous example of Onslaught series Wolverine being bigger than Apocalypse and Onslaught in the 90s) . The guy who goofed up didn't tell anyone that they fucked up the mold and this would only get caught when they'd send prototypes to the toy company. Since molds are so expensive, they're curse people out and just release the toy as is.
So not only did stopping two ups cut down on the production process, but it also meant there were fewer things to fuck up.
So no, being in a larger scale doesn't allow them to make shit more accurate. It just made less talented sculptors relax their eyesight a bit.
>meant to be enclosed helmets with not a hint of skinThis doesn't change anything. You don't need to give someone a tiny pinhead to hide that.
