Is it time to stop glorifying the brand and focus on the designer?

Industrial designers working for a big manufacturers are very different. Do you see Apple/Sony/Samsung name their products' designers? How many car designers can you name? You may know many Ferraris were designed by Pininfarina, but Pininfarina rarely gave credit to individuals. Designers accept that as part of their jobs. They probably have a lot of trade secret to keep. You just don't seem to understand that.

Also can you read Japanese? Japanese hobby magazines almost always have interviews with designers and modelers. They fully acknowledge their designs and contributions. But the designers say they are just just doing their best possible jobs. They are not the Khadashians out to make a name on their own.

It's also not the same to use Hot Toys as example. What does HT make? They make 1/6 figures in the likeness of an real person's appearance in a movie. There's the actors/actress' image right. If they are making a Loki figure, it better looks like Tom Hiddelston as Loki in the Thor/Avengers movies. HT is probably under legal terms to name the sculptor who made Tom Hiddelston's face. Even faceless figures like Stormtroopers have their sculptors named.

If you are such a Hasui fan boy, he has a twitter account. Twit him yourself. Let us know if Hasui san twits you back.

Yeh. pretty much. Agreed.

Nameless industrial designers would be the best bet.

I think you just like to offer an opposite view to anything I bring up.

Of course, I'd love to have designer autograph along with voice actors.

But voice actors are more of an artist than designers.

Btw, it's almost 3:00 am here and maybe almost midnight where you are. LOL

Do you actually own the all mighty Crapollyon ? A lot of people praise it but to be honest it is a floppy mess with alot of loose tabs in bot mode and it is so finicky to pose. But the 3rd party does not label the designers on the box either so why is that your defense ?

You can find that out too with a little bit of research.
