>>9529499>I think he's doing it because it's how HE feels.Yes, it's human to like that shit, because it's innate to want heavier, bigger shit. We're greedy monkeys.
The guy's still smart to capitalize on it though and it's why he was so successful, because his products stood out from everyone else's.
>Toybiz popularized the 6" figure.Were you born in the 00s, newfag?
The entire toy industry copied McFarlane in the 90s... which was actually detrimental to companies like Hasbro, who ended up killing GI Joe trying to imitate him. More detail, pre-posed, more paint, and larger figures.
>Golden calvesSomeone scratched off the paint from the figure to show off the slag metal that Bandai used on their TMNT figures, which is one of the faults with diecast. Paint doesn't adhere to it well. If they actually took the time and money to balance the figure, they'd just make a hollow cavity to insert a heavier metal. Metal pins/joints too.
Doing that would also mean you wouldn't have to worry about the diecast corroding, which fucks up the paint and surface detail.
