I just noticed the Basic Brodus in Red has painted skin on his entire leg, the plastics molded in black....
Is this a cost saving technique?
I hope they don't ever do this with elites

This is brodus's entire leg, shin, thigh ... everything
I don't understand why, the leg could have been casted in skin tone.... it doesn't bother me as its a basic , I just wanted the head.... but it would piss me off in the future if I bought an elite and the whole leg was painted and black underneath

It is probably a cost saving move. Maybe casting it in black plastic and painting the whole leg is cheaper than casting it in the actual color of Brodus' legs. BOPPV Big Show is exactly the same thing. Luckily I had an extra E10 Big Show and just swapped it. |

I haaaaate painted skin tone. Above all other things that could potentially bug me about a figure, that is my #1.

Its hardly noticable. This is an OCD problem.

They tried doing this with Masters of the Universe and everyone gave them crap for it. It's a cheap and crappy cost cutting move and ends up with some awful looking figures.

The MOTUC collectors say the paint scratches and chips around the joint areas.

This problem comes whit every Big Show or just with the BOPPV legs? I saw Dean's fix up on this figure and i want to do the same. |

Might explain why my Elite Brodus has random black scuffs on his legs.
