>>8744259>Hot Toys seemless bodies haven't degraded in like 16 years.Nah, that ain't true. I can't be scouring the net for evidence right now since I'm supposed to be working, but I have seen definite pictorial evidence of newer figures than that rotting/tearing.
And even if it were true, that's Hot Toys, which you brought up...why? Toy tech isn't shared amongst all companies, and Hot Toys is generally seen as the top of the pile--so why would you expect that any other company would share in their advances? We have plenty of evidence of seamless figures from other, lesser companies tearing.
And for the FINAL nail in the coffin, seamless just isn't a good idea in general. Even in a world where we definitively solve the rotting rubber problem and everyone has access to it, seamless bodies are not very durable by nature, look bad when limbs are bent because the skin bunches up, cannot be left in dynamic poses for long periods of time because it stresses the skin, and any breaks that occur in the frame cannot be easily addressed because...well, they're coated in skin.
