>>10020145I was going to write more, but again, you're just making bullshit up, moving your goalposts, and just making contrarian noises after being proven wrong.
So I'll just type up a response to something i haven't covered.
>big chunks of pliable plastic require less precise tolerancesCompletely ignorant. High pressure injection molding is peak molding process and anything using it is as precise as it gets, whether its big, undetailed, or anything inbetween. It's complete overkill for soft sculpted toys, but it's one of the fastest ways of producing toys.
There is literally nothing better for mass manufacturing and everyline that has been discussed uses it
Obviously, molds can become worn out over hundreds of thousands to millions of uses and only then does it not have "precise tolerances", but when it's brand new? The cheapest of Mattel toys are as precise as the most expensive of Sentinel figures to the most expensive model kits (that use injection molding).
As mentioned earlier, the problem arises from assembly. So if a company is being tight with their budget, they're churning out shit as fast as possible, thus maybe over spray happens, flash isn't trimmed all the way down, or legs are put on the wrong side of the body. Even with shit quality control, shit's still more expensive than just sticking sprues into a box, because that is 50-100 extra steps.
Toy making is labor intensive.
pic of either you or some other retard that claimed doesn't happen anymore.
