>>11036655I doubt LEGO invented it, since they're not a tech company, so it was probably the 90s or even the 80s.
If it was invented by LEGO, then the tech has remained unchanged since the 00s. No "probably." Refer to
https://i.4cdn.org/toy/1718691631485717.jpg to see how shitty it looks. The symbol isn't a solid white because low res printing is shit, so the bare plastic is showing through, just like it did on Bandai's figures from ~2015 to 2020.
Unchanged tech even today, hence smarter companies like DCD using it in more indistinct ways, for uses that a low pressure airbrushes would have been used for (shading, highlights, etc). A great idea, hence Bandai copying DCD.
