>>11246093>cartoony sculpt with simplistic paint job that's only high point is airbrushingt. has never seen the figure.
Seriously, the bare head alone is a work of art. Also
>cartoonyWhat the fuck are you talking about? It looks like the miniature it's based on. It's even got some really nice subtle, restrained weathering rather than the overdone slop you see on old McFarlane eyesores.
>And I'll give the 4H figure credit for the paint. It's close, but not McFarlane 00s quality.It's completely in excess of McFarlane 00s quality. That pic you posted? Again, just basecoats and washes, nothing special. The skin looks completely crap too; frankly, if they were going to put that little effort into it then matte plastic with a decent topcoat would have looked BETTER.
>Most modern lines, like 4H, use a lot of colored plastic4H actually generally does full paintjobs. Though frankly coloured plastic is generally preferable on a toy to a complete paintjob; it won't chip off with posing, it can still be shaded or highlighted with airbrushes or whatever and it won't come out thick and lumpy like McFarlanetrash. Seriously, look at this shit. 20 years later and he still can't get smooth paint coats. Not to mention how stupid it is to do a full paintjob on an anime character where you WANT a flat, smooth finish.
>Also 4H uses shitty plastics to afford that level of paint.Hamhands.
