>>8830619I assume its resin not vinyl because of the size. Would be nice if it was bigger and yes, flesh color would be nice too. Obviously we can paint it but that standard color looks like primer gray-white and is kind of disappointingly unfinished or simplistic looking.
>>8831003They are pretty great aren't they? I'm a big fan of the monstrous ones myself, far more than the other "Designer toys" that tend to be cutesy and cartoony (though some of those are ok too). I'm the guy who painted the gold Fungoid Man by the way. The guy behind them, Wondergoblin, showed off a new figure he's working on it and looks equally sweet.

>>8831011Yeah, and they're often very erratically priced. Some are far more expensive than others for reasons that are...not immediately obvious. Some for legit but obscure reasons others for the fact that they're trendy or well known.
>>8831024>>8831032You guys might like this. No subtitles but you can see the process used by a long established company here. For such a well known and enduring company is is surprisingly low tech and simple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qudBvk6fwL0The long and short of it seems to be that you CAN do this at home. Some people do. But its difficult to do WELL. Most people who do these sorts of things at home use Resin or soft "Keshi" style rubber instead of vinyl. H&H Toys and Dead Bird Toys are good examples. Doing soft vinyl toys is harder to do because, unlike resin figures which are solid, sofubi is slush cast and hollow, which is a whole new can of worms in terms of complexity.
Its why most makers will create a wax master figure, get that electroplated into a mold, and then get a dedicated manufacturer in japan to handle it. There's a good post about that here
