    I feel like we need to get a documentary series about the toy sculptures. They don’t get enough credit. I mean what they are doing is art. Example: it would be really cool to see who sculpted/worked on The Real Ghostbusters toy line. I really enjoy small details it just gives you something else to learn about a brand/fandom that you love.

    the tool for scaling down/up the prototype models is called a pantograph . it is also used by masons to mark out writing and is comon in other trades as well. you can find 3d printable versions on thingiverse f you want to try it out.

    Action Figures Authority (AFA) grandes depends not only of the conditions of the figure, it also depends of the cardboard and plastic bubble, for that reason it’s very difficult to have a perfect grade 10 level (there’s only few lucky figures with that grade known on the world), to have that there must be a perfect figure whit out paint issues and well printed and not bend cardboard, a clear not scratched bubble glued perfectly on site. Practically must be a new factory production, a couple figures on the whole wave have reunited those elements, and when they’re sent to the stores probabilities of find one of them get down

      GreyHulk2 yes and no! Those figures shown were different form the actual production figures. If you look they are similar but not the same . So these figures for some reason were changed. So the production figures will have test shots and first shots of those.

    • @zeikjt
      @zeikjt 5 років тому +3

      Unopened doesn't mean that the ravages of time and space haven't worn down the box and/or the figures inside. Preservation and conservation are really, really hard to do even by professionals and in some cases depending on the environment or materials it's nearly impossible.
      Sun bleaching, moisture damage, friction, plasticizer vaporization, etc.
      EDIT: Also production line inconsistencies. Some "new" objects are better representations of the intended result than others.

    • @Carnage6X
      @Carnage6X 5 років тому +1

      Honestly that's why I find toy grading and comic book grading to be kind of a sham. There is never any item that they would give a 100 to making that grade meaningless. Even if you took the item straight from the manufacturer with no signs of wear it would still not get a 100 grade. I know why they don't do it. If they gave a 100 grade people would be there to pick it apart but if no item can ever get 100 then why bother having the grades go up to that?
