Those are very valid arguements,especially the deadline/expense ones.The very reason i singled out sithfire's work is because he sculpts EVERYTHING from scratch.He puts together a body from MU/SW/GI Joe parts then dremels off ALL the detail until hes left with a basic blank body,THEN he sculpts onto it.

Surely thats exctly what Hasbro's sculptors do as well?? Thats why i said if they put in HALF the work he did their figure would be awesome.and your right about the T-crotch on SW figures,but bearing that in mind,why does DM look so wooden?? Maybe they should have gone for a more posed approach with his overall sculpt,i just feel they missed a great chance to give a really cool looking character a really cool looking figure.
