@wkeyser Bit much to state that the casting medium/process was decided upon due to a Beta Testing weekend. From what I’ve heard it was due to the fact they were getting a sizable number of miscasts using normal resin and the PVC minis were “soft” and missing detail.

I’ve no idea on the costs of 3D printing, but I’m sure they looked into and felt it was feasible (and not because they were “rushing” things for a Beta weekend). After all they could have done 3D masters for the few people at the beta weekend and then switched back to a different medium for everyone else?

From the interviews here, they said the sculpts were difficult to cast and details were lost/missing. I think that was the reason they went for 3D printing.
