Yup, And you know those are probably just thrown in the bins... Crazy to think the conditions these are made in compared to where they are displayed...........
Thanks for sharing the pics.

I think we all know this happens, but it's still crazy and thought provoking to actually see it. 
Out of interest, which statue(s) are shown here?

Those are unlicensed custom "fan art" pieces though, that Sentinel hand is from the unlicensed 1:4 Beast statue, so these pics are not from an authorized factory the big companies use.
That being said I don't think conditions of the factories SS, XM etc use would be that much better.

Actually, it's from a 1/4 Cable statue but I've seen pics of where XM statues are produced and your right, they aren't much better.

Ah Ok, that Sentinel hand looks just like the Beast fan art piece as well, I'd post a pic of it but I'm pretty sure that's not allowed on here.

they definetely don't seem thrown in, some you can't tell like the heads but the others are clearly stacked that way on purpose.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Doesn't this make you feel warm n fuzzy about your $500+ piece. Looks like Cable. This poor guy probably doesn't makes maybe 1% of what this piece sells for. Idk

Their wages are actually much higher then you'd think nowdays, especially for jobs like this. For example the average monthly salary for a white collar worker is 7,600 and specialized work like this will likely make a fair bit more.
