Re: Molecule8 (New company)
Well I'm sure no expert but what I think we'll see is the prices of these figures rise rather rapidly. If this figure turns out this nice then it is a great price. I think it was kept low to generate excitement and buzz which it has done.
They've already published the price. It's dirt-cheap for what's being offered. They're engineering a body that will be used for ALL their figures. You can't do that with the plastic bodies everyone else engineers. That's a lot of re-engineering for every single figure that needs a change.
The brush I'm painting with is half a nanometer in diameter, you could write a novel on a fly's testicle with it.
You also assumed incorrectly about their resources being quite so limited. They've obviously come into this with deep pockets to get to where they are right now. Check the job history of the people in the document I linked earlier.
Also not sure why people keep bringing up Spider-man. No one has used a steel skeleton on such a figure. In fact they're used primarily by Phicen on much more mundane figures.
Every post shows that some people just don't get it. This company is getting the buzz and the sales precisely because of the product/design decisions they've made, not in spite of them.
