edit-heres the whole thing.

I'm lost with the Haka thing, heeeeeeeeeeeeelp.

Those legs are hard copy prototypes, made of resin which are cast from the silicon mold taken from the orignal wax sculpt, then used to make the tool for plastic injection molding. They're shown as an example of how thick the soles were. I think the tool maker literally made the mold from the hardcopies, without taking into account and amending the feet.

I have a have a sweet Red Wolf torso hardcopy which is from the original concept sculpt, give me a few mins, I'll post it.

Here's Red Wolf.

It was difficult to photograph, but it is a hardcopy of an early sculpt. If you look at the sizes and proportions they are all slightly out from the production piece. Also if you look at the markings like the belt and backpack, these are all indentations by hand and off line. The belt around the sides features more detailing than on the production version.









This is an excellent example of the early stage of this characters development and also gives you a glimpse of how all figures were sculpted and formed together.

So does this process explain the softer detailing of some figures then Dave?..When you look @ the details are much sharper & defined than for instance, almost as if it's done by a different toy company all together.

that's more down to the individual sculptor's style and the brief (ie. does any new work have to fit with existing limbs or is the whole figure a new sculpt?)
