Re: Molecule8 (New company)
I don't understand why in the interview he discusses what to me seemed seamless figures and how he didn't like how they bent at the elbows. etc. and they would do it better. Maybe I misunderstood that part. Obviously seamless on this first figure and all of the figures I am interested so far from their potential lineup is not needed but not sure why you would go to the extents of building silicone body molds and what not if there was no discernable difference from tooling a universal plastic body (i.e. True-Type or whatever). Also actually finishing the outside of the armature either for that matter and what we see of the sculpt is definitely not over that skull... it looks just like what HT always teases of their proto sculpts in hand (the neck join, etc.)
Right. Its an armature. But the silicon over the armature isn't seamless. Maybe someone with more time than I have will post a screenshot from that booklet M8 put out.
