See those shadows created by the abs? Shit's physical and deep. How would you sculpt that to create teh same effect in 3d?
That's teh reason so many statues have teh same look.
>>8302190the "basketball" texture is pretty much teh same shit we've seen in all of Mezco's figures. You're probably just noticing it right now because it's a mostly plastic figure. It's there to emulate that entire subscattering surface effect that skin has.
As for body hair, i think that's just the grunge of being a dirty barbarian. Almost all art has him hairless, sooo... either Frazetta's copying everyone else or they're copying him.
