Brian sez: "Whose leg do you have to hump to get a clear mini figure around here?"

The minis have to be harder to paint... can't do the arms independent of the torso and stick them in later... the spray needs to be finer to accommodate the smaller bodies... masking must be harder, less flexible and need to be applied more precisely...
I wonder if this has anything to do with the seemingly smaller run sizes...

Is it just me, or does the Head here look like he's about to collapse in a sobbing, screaming, feet-kicking Toddler Tantrum? ("Chaos got six colors of paint and I only got five! No fair! He always gets everything he wants, just because he's deformed! I hate you!")
I think it's perfect - I like seeing the minis with these 'kid' characteristics, rather than try for scariness and risk wandering into Chucky territory. Plus, the minis somehow look like they each have more distinct personalities, before they all grew up into fighters. Head is whiny, Chaos is goofy and clueless, Evil is the bad seed/psychopath who torments small animals, and maybe Bigaro doesn't understand why everyone can't just get along ...

Seems a lot of peoples problem is they feel there's too much because they need them all. I can't complain about that though, pick n' choose.
I'd like larger runs/lesser releases BUT I see Mori's point. He wants people to get something new and interesting from his shop every time they make the journey, I think it's cool.

These minis are tempting me but I've spent too much money already.
