Updates on the 1:4 IM III Igor? It's nearing a year since the reveal at comic con, seems like this is not going to happen and/or has missed the boat since IMIII came out over a year ago

Does the GG rep only answer certain questions?
Would love an answer to my question

Is there something different in the way these are made/painted or are they done by better skilled workers, as they just look up another level in terms of detail and paint application.

Also, can you say if the production run will have the same quality as the one below

Thanks

Might be a case of "trade secrets". Whatever GG is doing, they need to keep it going.

First and foremost, it starts with the sculpting. A good sculpt in the beginning allows for a better paint master and a superior product. But yes, we do also employ different production techniques and different materials. Plus we seek the best talent for our factory production lines. We also spend more time on these and have a more intensive quality control inspection. As a result this means that they take longer to produce and are more expensive to manufacture. Also, there are no issues with licensors dictating colors, pantones, materials or imposing their personal preferences on the line, it’s all done under our collaborative roof. Being in control of every step makes for a better product every time.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
