Besides just improved quality of sculpting, material, casting etc, does Reaper eventually have to phase out molds? I imagine they might get worn down after several castings. But do they save the master to make a new mold? I feel like we might be hitting a point in the Bones lifetime where more things are becoming permanently OOP and maybe that's why we're seeing a lot more repeats? Probably part of it. But they've also gotten better and a lot of those older figures are crap in comparison. I recently painted a conversion made with one of the driders and the medusa from Bones 1, and man, Reaper's quality has come a long way since Bones 1. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do they save the master to make a new mold? Injection moulds tend to last quite a long time as they are machined out of metal and casting in heated plastic. Production spin moulds do not last quite as long as they are usually vulcanized rubber (similar to tires) casting in molten metal. The reason more parts are not cast in plastic is the price differential. 10k for an injection mould to be machined compared to 600-1000 dollars to create a master then production spin moulds. 3d modelling has been a game changer for plastics as it is easier to transfer the data to a milling machine. Reapers change in casting materials have been a game changer if you look at the quality between bones 1 and bones 5. The new bones black material is getting close to metal quality so I am happier with some of the smaller models now. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokestack Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 So... I know the Green Griffin is not for everyone, but I like it. Its definitely on my list. I hope we get an expansion to it like the brinewind extras, My wishlist for it would be * Stools for the bar for patrons who wish to sit at the bar. * More food choices for the tables. Bread, chicken, etc... * female patrons, both standing and sitting. A female adventuring group at rest (no weapons in hand) or with drinks in hand * A male serving wench * A female Bartender * A dog to lay in front of the fire place * So rowdy patrons/Thugs startin' trouble * Some bouncers and a cooler. The Bouncers are nice (until its time not to be nice... but they wont know when that is, the cooler will let them know.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msfnc Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Closeups/size comparisons of the vorvorlaka and giant skelly have turned Sullenhall from 'probably' to 'certainly' for me. More detailed pics and measuring sticks, please! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the D&D/Pathfinder nomenclature of Medium = 1" base, Large = 2" base, etc. The ruler for the height is important for the larger figures, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
