Why does SSC paint light reflections on eyes?

It's actually a trademark logo. If you magnify the dot's you'll see that they say Sideshow Collectibles TM

Good job Sean. You can see the likeness come out in the sculpt a lot more when the dot is gone.

Do you have more?

I have plenty 'without' the dot, not up there with Sean in terms of quality I'm afreaid, but I think they show that even when not catching much light, it's still more realistic.

Perhaps this is the way forward1

And here's what I mean, when I say it works OK, like on Anime characters-

Many of my old medicom figs have the dot as well, but i don't have any good in focus detail shots.

DROP THE DOT SST!

The new Indy seems to have them too, oh well, out with the paintbrush again!

The latest victim of this practice.

Nice work Sean. That Indy Dot totally illustrates what we are all saying.

Honestly, he looks like he's crying in the jacketed photo, that's how damaging it can be to have a light catch when there should be none.

Have SSC ever commented on why they continue to do this in the face of, at best, indifference to the dot, and at worst, vehement hatred? You can add my call for dot removal too.
