>>5481603>I'm getting a bullshot prototype feeling from these pictures.Eh, I don't see anything on the figures that says it's impossible to do. The armor pieces are just completely painted metallic colors and the body is another color. It's very simple and hard to fuck up.
The metallic paint will definitely change, since hand painted prototypes almost always use different metallic paints used in China. So it usually ends up looking better in the production version
I think the most telling part is the fucking elite face. It's three whole paint apps, on a flesh colored plastic head, and it just looks cheapo as fuck.
McFarlane's was fully painted, so even in bright light it doesn't have that cheap glossy look and more like actual flesh. Everything about the head was complexly painted, in the correct colors, and given a wash.
Fuck Mattel, even when i really could give less of a shit than i should.
