Oh! Really? Their sculpts all seem totally original. (Most are not that great in my opinion, but very distinctively 'Miro' and some actually do hit the mark nicely! [Wind is pretty])
I hope it's not true! But if it is, why would they do such a thing after all this time?!?
Oh, Miro! I hope they had a chance to defend themselves. Innocent before proven guilty, right?
Eek!
Definitely guilty before proven. I don't really like how DoA handled the situation...
It's not all sculpts, in fact it's only 2 of the bodies. The 70cm female body (which I don't agree with) and the new 1/4 female body (which I do agree with DoA).
Miro says they have a new sculpter and "he didn't know he wasn't allowed to use reference photos". But that 1/4 body looks too much like the reference photos in my opinion.
I'm just frustrated that after all the years that the 70cm body has been out, and was considered "ok", they just now are banning it. I understand the new body but to suddenly ban one that's been "ok" for years just baffles me.
