>>11191795I disagree, at least when it came to EARLIER joytoy Warhammer figures, because those felt like the minis scaled up, and articulation woven in. The Phobos Marines are 95% accurate to the minis, in my opinion.
Something else that always bugged me was the first gravis captain, and his right leg tube: gravis Marines have these tubes that go from the back of their shin (idk wtf that part is called) to their hip, but in the gravis captain mini (the only one available at the time, which was the 8th edition launch box, I believe?), his right leg tube doesn't connect to the hip, and instead tangles into itself at the shin. Well, on the figure, it is EXACTLY the same! Seems VERY odd to make the tube that way, especially since on the assembled mini, that detail is hidden by the cape, AND the fact that they have also made normal aggressors at the time. This, as well as the gigantic gun barrels, and huge vent slits, such as on the bladeguards helmet being so big, leads me to conclude that early warhammer figures did indeed use upscaled digital sources.
Something like the mk VI beakies, on the other hand, felt more like an 80% accurate figure.
I would quantify McFarlane as a 50% or less accurate figure, based off of the minis, but hold no I'll will towards their sculpts, because they obviously went for an interpretive sculpt, rather than an accurate one (and likely didn't even source the minis at all).
>>11191189Yeah, they've definitely changed the way they sculpt their figures, but I think your being hyperbolic, and they will come out fine.
