Video games are great and all, but most of us at Joystiq HQ still harbor a penchant for action figures, born from youthful days and being forced to play outside now and again. As we’ve matured, however, so has the toy industry, and action figures these days are way more awesome than the stuff we had growing up.
Kids these days don’t know how good they have it, either. The above video, for instance, showcases the state-of-the-art rapid prototyping technologies used by McFarlane Toys to create their hyper-detailed Halo figures. Back in our day, action figures took months to prototype, and we were happy about it!
And another thing! Back in our day, the words “3D” and “printer” would never share space in the same sentence, let alone be used in conjunction with one another to describe an actual thing. Get off our lawn!
