Legends scanned or molded? Jun 28, 2012 21:23:57 GMT -5

Hey everybody!

Quick question. Does anybody here know how Mattel makes the heads/faces for legend figures?

Do they scan a picture?

or

Are they just molded really well?

I'm curious because the BOPPV Bret Hart is the only figure I currently own and one of the selling points for me was that Bret's face was actually scanned for the figure and it looked spot-on accurate.

Just wondering how they did it for the rest of the legends who have either deceased or gotten older.

Thanks!
