Another Reissue Question...

#1 Post by Glusniffer »

Ok, now I've found a PL Spider-man and Hulk kit in the closet. These were from 2003 before I joined the CH so I was wondering about the history on them. They're way bigger than the original kits. Were they totally re-sculpted because I can't see any difference other than size. Also was the Captain America re-done larger? :-s

New larger molds were duplicated from the original molds, either via old-school pantograph, or by scanning & CNC machining. Yep, they also did a larger Cap kit.
