palallin posted:scale rail posted:Jr. I was referring to the term blob about Arttista People. The family that make Arttista people have contributed a lot to the O and S gauge hobby. Calling their work blobs is uncalled for. If you go all the way back to the original question, they are asking for O scale working people. Let's get back to the original question.

Sorry, but, compared to other kinds of figures out there, even in the same scale, they are like blobs. The features are over-sized, indistinct, and crude, comparatively speaking. Artista figures are certainly better than many other Model Railroad competitors, but the world is bigger than Model Power and Woodland Scenics, and even Revell and Bandai injection figures from the '70s are superior.
Those figures can be taken in hand and modified a little to adopt civilian dress and equipment for "working people." Other, even better brands, likewise.
I wish a company could apply that talent and technology to RRing figures, but, as Lee notes, the money isn't in it.
Don't shoot at the messenger because you don't like the message.
Really unfair to refer to Arttista people as "blobs." Dennis' figures have been and continue to be the industry standard. Great pictures by Forum colleagues drive the point home.
