Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorhook" data-source="post: 4356238" data-attributes="member: 58401">The issue isn't that a collector/hobbyist could do a better job, but that recent DDM minis are generally noticeably worse than similar DDM minis from two or three years ago. Specific exceptions abound, (and of course, even the best sets had some duds), but since Night Below, the number of "dud" sculpts and paint-jobs per set has been consistently overtaking the number of awesome ones in each set.There are definitely some figures I want, too. (I like the new 4E-style angels. I like the look of that Adamantine Dragon.)...But I find myself wondering, "Why the pastel colours? Why so darkwash?  (This is most noticeable on things like horns, teeth, and white-colour gear.) Why doesn't the Yuan-ti Anathema have fangs? Why is the blade of the Death Titan's axe attached to some kind of flimsy cable instead of an actual handle? Why does the Hellwasp look like it's made of marshmallow? Why is primer being used as a colour? (Death Titan, again; Deathjump Spider was bad like that, too.)" And this roper's mouth kinda looks like an anus....I want to support DDM, but I'm frustated by the obvious drop in production quality. I won't recommend DDM products to anyone ever again if sculpt and painting quality stays at the same level it's at now.</blockquote>
