Yes, I like those improvements.

Here's a gif to see the change S.Griffin has made...

I’m curious to see how the loose thread holding the mask together will be implemented onto a sculpted mask on the battle damaged version.

I'm guessing they will need to physically sew loose threads into the costume material before putting it on the body. Since it doesn't need to be done neatly due to it looking damaged that could be done fairly quickly for each figure.

I can hear the collector's now: "Hey -- you got better stitching then I did?" "The 3rd stitch on her nose is off by 4 mm!"

I believe the material for her suit is going to be latex (what the original costume was made out of and apparently lasts a long time if taken care of) or silicone (more durable than latex and supposedly has better longevity than latex). In that case it can all be molded.

Who wants to post this in the facebook group?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I don't do facebook, but please someone take it.

I don't do facebook, but please someone take it.

Yeah, I would post it myself, but I was forced to take a break. I can only look right now.

 

[Captain Clown]

I posted a link to this page, where the gif was posted. Facebook is stupid with gifs in comments so it couldn’t be outright posted, so I also posted the before / after edit.

You’re not going to have a difficult time getting them to see it, Joost comes in here all the time.

Funny enough the head boss of GameToys, third party company producing Final Fantasy figure, said on weibo recently that it's actually easier to produce moveable eyes atm than painted eyes. Said the testing and adjustment period for painted eyes are too time consuming and frustrating. They're also a company that started with painted eyes but now has switched all their sculpts to movable eyes.

Feel like Joost is shooting the idea down before really looking into it. Hope it's something he reconsiders.

Figures I just pre-ordered the Eternal toys Cat Woman. But you know what I'm happy with the Eternal toys penguin I wasn't at first but he grew on me. Competition will always be competition I guess he got to just pick which one you like best.

That's a definite improvement

We may have scared Joost off finally, he hasn’t been on the forum for nearly a month.

So this is how communication dies...

... with fervent demands.

 

[S. Griffin]

Yeah, I wouldn't have come back, either, considering how some people here were reacting to a painted head sculpt which was clearly identified as neither the final paint nor the final sculpt.
Anyway, I sent a message to Sean Dabbs and he's gonna make some tweaks.

As always, the more people interact, the more they realise they can’t stand one another.

I hadn't considered this, but maybe machine-printed pre-fab eyes are easier than hand-painting. The challenge remains setting them in their sockets.
