[@brianthomason5022]

How did character models happen without or before 3D printing

[@andrewg5672]

the process is called injection molds. It is very expensive and needs metal casting skills, heavy machinery skills, and programming, usually done in a factory. You shape a prototype using plaster or resin, and can use a program called CNC to have a graphical representation of the toy/parts. Then you use a heavy milling machine that will carve out metal in the form of half the toy. This will be the mold. Another metal mold will be created to represent the other half. The two molds are pressed together, and then liquid plastics in injected in the mold to create the toy. People would then spray paint the toy as needed. As you can tell, this is an extremely expensive endeavor that requires a lot of investment, time, and care. Because of this, most toys are manufactured in china, as most heavy machinery and now robotic systems geared towards creation of small toys or electronics is not native to america or even europe for that matter. Obviously now this is slowly changing with 3D printing, and programming skills in even the youngest of classrooms!

Funko pop is such a waste off space and money. I never understood what people found collecting them. They are trolling people with them all the recolours, stickers and that stuff just to tickle that little more out of the people that can't handle the feeling of missing out on something that is what they prey on!

[@darthrooster1]

It’s today’s version of Beanie Babies. They should ask those collectors how their investment value is doing?

I totally agree and don't like Funko either, but I am glad that franchisers like them help keep the MOTU brand alive.

[@For891]

[@killerdiva7771]

Basically, they are the only affordable option for non poseable figures. They cost significantly less than marvel legends, black series, dc multiverse etc. For people who dont care about articulation they are a good option. Many of them also come in poses with effects

[@Astro319]

This seems very impractical, for a variety of reasons.

[@MichaelTotin]

3D prints are pretty fragile. As someone that makes props, I rarely use an original print as a prop. Only if it's display only. They should really make molds from the prints and cast them in ABS or another strong plastic. Just like the original toys. Then you could cast a few dozen quickly and cheaply and sell them at a much more reasonable price per piece.

[@ZsH85]

there are many types of resin. i also worked as a 3d guy in movie props and some resin are so hard you cant even brake them with hammer

[@MichaelTotin]

@@ZsH85 Given the size, I assumed FDM printing. If these are SLA, then yes, the resins can be pretty solid and hold up. Given they are more sensitive to high temps and UV compared to cast resins. Also you can control the time better. Cast resins cure in a range of time frames ranging from minutes to a few hours. Much faster than waiting on a print. Even SLA.

Good question but that depends on many factors such as how many he is going to produce of each figure.

If he intends to produce thousands (unlikely) then sure the Bigwigs would go after hum.
