I was describing how the original master sculpture was created. The base and the torso are all molded together as one piece. It is cast with a rotocast machine, making it hollow but very sturdy and not top heavy at all.
A sculpture this large that is cast solid would create a ton of heat as the resin cures and ends up burning out molds really quick and making them tear. It also saves customers money on shipping because of the lighter weight.
