Here’s some quick pics to show off the mini that they throw in after hitting $40 in your order (before shipping).

Here are a few shots that show the mould lines that I caught on this model. Pretty much minimal when compared to the regular Bones. The hair has the most mould lines that I caught but that’s just probably because, from what I’ve pieced together (heh heh heh), the Bones line is multi part like metal but affixed as a single piece during production. The legs/base, crotch curtain (front/back), right arm, head/hair/shoulder pad are parted out once you look into the recesses of the figure. Overall a pretty good sculpt for 75mm (78 to the tip of the horns).

I did take a second look at the regular Bones and I think that the line is just slowly being moved over to the new stuff from the slight change in detail. The old stuff is still heat pliant which isn’t really a good thing when considering the headquarters for Reaper is located in the US smack in the middle of Texas. I also noticed that the detail level is a little crisper in the regular stuff and slightly darker in material color (not a pure white but more grey).

@somegeezer no idea on cleanup yet. I have other projects to finish (as I promised the Weekender thread)
