Re: Reproduction G1 Parts

One of the problems that must be worked around is practicality.

A mold must have as many cavities for as many weapons as possible. In order to keep cost down and allow for maximum return in as little of time.

That means 1 colour per mold. So weapons made with solid black would most likely be made. As their are many black weapons. Vs say a purple or yellow that is used with only one figure.

A balance must be made between the cheaper $5 casting and like what Razin hinted too. A repro for $20 vs $50 for an original is favorable.

So as we speak, I'm going through popular black pieces. In addition to the recommend Fist/Feet/Heads/Weapons.

Other issues would be heads or other parts that had paint or tempo's. As I wouldn't have the time to paint eyes, etc.



NOTE: I have no connection to Darkov or any other previous people reproducing Transformer Parts. This is currently an independent project.
