[RETRO] Wrestle-Something Wrestlers by Figure Collections

Listening to this week’s MWFP right now and they bring up some fair criticisms. Some of them I can shed some light on:

VintageFigs1 was very fixated on the hand tape discrepancies. The initial 2D drawing that was shared with me did not include this detail. In many reference photos, you cannot see the tape in his palm from the front. While inspecting one of the 3D sculpts, I made note that the finger tape was missing. No excuses on my end for primarily focusing on the front side and failing to notice the hand tape was absent.

The face was revised many, many times. One such revision required a significant change to the original design. In every revised version of the 3D sculpt, the mustache was connected. In fact, I’m fairly certain the final version was connected as well but the way in which it was designed might not have translated to the mold. I’m not the one submitting it to the factory so I cannot say that I am 100% certain on which version made it. Even so, it should have been painted to connect in my opinion. I’m going over pictures and videos from 6 months ago as I had spent hours finding reference photos and giving detailed feedback to improve the Macho Mouth. If a suggestion isn’t taken, I often times assume it is either a stylistic choice or too late in the process to adjust.

The yellow…I’m going to have to kind of agree to disagree with D Freedom on this one. The color of his boots and such varies greatly depending upon what you are looking at. If you watch it on video or look through some of the darker photos then yes, Randy’s boots were more school bus than neon. But if you look at the well-lit, high resolution photos, they are unquestionably a lighter shade. I guess where his argument kind of becomes questionable is that he will point out the shade of the boots needing to be darker without acknowledging that the trunks, skin, hair, and literally everything else in the frame is also darker. In short; it depends upon the lighting.
