Stop The Dot = STD.....

When asked in last week's chat, Brant said "he could see both sides". What side is there to see in favor of the silly dot??? I'm genuinely curious.

There is no one that would prefer the doll dot, period. That's like saying they could see both sides to having loose joints on a figure...

Then why would he say it?

The only reason I could see Sideshow have in favor of the doll dot is that it's cheaper and easier for them.

Huzzuh comrades!!!! Victory is within sight!!!

pixletwin - hot toys paint apps no longer use a white dot in the eye to simulate a reflection and instead rely on the gloss to make it look more natural. Since many collectors find this painted dot in the eye superfluous, will sideshow stop painting the “doll dot” and let the gloss naturally capture the light? Is there an artistic reason that the this catchlight is still being used?

Hey pixle!

yes. they should also leave the loose joints the way they are. it's more realistic. i real person can only hold their arms up for a little while anyway.

I think most collectors agree that it's results are the direct opposite.

 

[IrishJedi]

I just seriously don't understand how anyone (especially the professionals) think that the dot looks good... and adds "realism".

The fact that they think that way at all gives me pause.

 

[galactiboy]

Honestly the dot didn't seem like a problem until I remember Les saying it looked bad. I had to agree with him at that point and since then it's bothered me. If I didn't know any better I probably never would have caught on

But, Pandora's box has been opened so its time to lose the dot.

PLease refer to the latest edition of Ask Sideshow released on our site on 5/21/09.

Besides, Doll Dots are known to support terrorism and responsible for current state of the economy. Please lets Stop the Dots!!!!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Never paid much attention to the dot. I noticed it...but it didn't/doesn't bother me.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I can't wait until Sideshow stops the dot so that some comedian will start a thread titled, "Bring Back The Dot!"...*



I'm not mentioning any names...
