Just so you know, some companies do produce toys as 2UPS, which is a sculpt produced by the artist that is double the size that the toy will be.
I forget the name, but they use a machine (sometimes scanner) that duplicates the sculpt but 2x smaller for the molding process.
It's how they used to pack so much detail into their toys, and some companies still do it the old fashioned way, like 4H.
It's also how they used to make coins.
Not really sure when they changed their ways, but i know Hasbro stopped doing 2ups at least 12 years ago and just had the sculptors do it actual size. Then later on it changed to digital sculpting.
