>>7161267I've never seen the molds or barely paid them much attention, but i have seen the wax figures and other various stages of prototypes.
I've been going to conventions for decades, so I've seen thousands of phototypes over that time and they are barely anymore detailed than what you can usually buy at WalMart.
Almost all the difference comes from the paint job and the gloss (or lack of it) on the material it's made out of.
you'er full of shit when you say that the detail wasn't sculpted deeper, unless they're using some very shitass molding technique that isn't used by companies like Hasbro, 3A, Mattel, Playmates, Bandai, Storm Collectibles, Kaiyodo, Hot Toys, Sideshow, Diamond, Palisade Toys, Mezco, 4 Horsemen, DC Collectibles, Kotobukiya, Games Workshop, Privateer Press, NECA, Fantasy Flight Games, and countless other companies who have display their prototypes at conventions.
The depth you see on wax prototypes would have to be hair width differences, that it'd be impossible to judge by your eyes, and that would be an insane tolerance to go from looking like this to the final product.
So again, i wonder, was it hand scanned at the lowest resolution in 2 minutes or did they use some really shit tier plastic that we don't even see remolded from a production figure bootlegs using, because that's a ton of missing detail.
