>>6522157>Why are you so obsessed with arguing about Figuarts? Because someone is wrong on the internet, especially someone such as yourself who can't read, thinking it's about hte Figuarts.
You think Hasbro gave up on traditional paint apps, but they're still using them in conjunction with the dots.
Based on their MLs, they're not even doing what the Figuarts are doing.
It's not a replacement for actual paint apps, but used for highlights and other minor details.
Take a close look at that Han Solo and Obi Wan. The lips, eyes, the eyebrows, etc all show the plastic underneath, because it's a low resolution print job. Only the whites of the eyes are painted.
Vs this where the eyes are fully painted, whites, browns, and then print is for added details of greens. Shadowing is done with only the dots. The eyebrows are fully painted white, with brown and grays dots. The fully painted lips are pink and the dots are red.
What Hasbro is doing is actually more expensive, since that's spray masks + tampo + prints.
It gives their already God-tier sculpts a really nice boost in looking more natural.
