So I’m thinking if Guts is going to take on Griffith and Falconia he’s going to need a tougher crew. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Ku9pHgmQR/?igshid=tn903kahno2k

Could have sworn I posted these a while ago. Either way here’s Scorpion and Sub-Zero from @mcfarlane_toys_official borrowing some cool effects parts from my other toys. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9APcYGg6HB/?igshid=4x53g891q6o1

Bring Arts Quina and Eiko! I love this set. The extra faces for Eiko are appreciated since Quina has...just that face 🤣 I also love the little articulated Mog, which also means I finally have a moogle in my toy collection! https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SBuVXAif3/?igshid=2lqh7qixa45j

Figma Mercy! This is why I don’t bother with the Hasbro ones. They’re fine but the figmas are god tier.

Bring Arts Freya! I never thought I’d get such a great figure of her, let alone the whole FFIX cast! https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PkZPTgHAu/?igshid=sdxn9wiqkt6z

This Harley Quinn figure is just WOW! The articulation, the moveable eyes, the original design, just unbelievably great! https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MH0nZA6Nk/?igshid=1ekfb4xdjdxso

Figma Mako! She’s perfect! I’ve always liked Mako because she represents how simple character designs can really shine in animation and I think the figure captures that really well. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Bi2d0g1_-/?igshid=9k43idc2uei0

Finally got around to taking pics of this amazing figure. Amazing Yamaguchi is close to becoming my favorite line to collect. https://www.instagram.com/p/B30zhl8gOpK/?igshid=16f4qw1vxmri1

The entire FFIX cast is joining the Bring Arts line and this first two-pack is fantastic! https://www.instagram.com/p/B14y46QAbtw/?igshid=1tl5ut5o9zx44

Zenyatta is my favorite #overwatch #figma yet! The accessories for all his floating bits are excellent, especially the one for his ultimate whose transparent plastic straight up disappeared when I upped the exposure. So cool! https://www.instagram.com/p/B12YW8vgqSE/?igshid=1lvqnfkn9erw8

Ok but the models for the older pokemon in the Switch games are literally the old X & Y models. People that ripped the models from the Let's Go games commented that they were the exact same as the Sun & Moon and, thus, X & Y ones, only with better textures. The Gyrados shown in the SwSh trailer, for instance, displays the exact same distortion in its whiskers that the handheld one has.

From the [original post]:

Gamers are notoriously bad at gauging how much work it takes to do something in game development.

“… only with better textures” you say. So you admit they improved the textures? Better textures means that Gyarados also needed new normal maps, new shadow maps, shadow mask, shader work, etc..

And guess what? If Gyarados needed these, how many other pokemon do you think also need new textures, shadow maps, normal maps, etc.? Here’s a quick answer: ALL OF THEM

Few things in game dev scare me as much as exponentially scaling scope. Seriously.
