For some time now, I've been noticing the topic title used in promoting new releases. . .
What, pray tell, is "high/hi-quality resin"? Is there low-quality resin?? And, if so, what is that like, and how do you tell the difference??? Will we be seeing "Premium-quality Resin" in the months to come????
It is a sign of the times when cheap and meaningless throwaway quips like "Cast in High-Quality Resin" are used as a selling point in a niche-hobby such as ours! Personally, I find it insulting and demeaning. If you want to impress us, describe the resin: at the very least, manufacturer, type, color, durometer (Shore hardness). And if any figure manufacturer doesn't know what I'm talking about, then perhaps they shouldn't be in [this] business!
