tikistitchMan, I am in such a doll drought right now. I know from my empty bank account that I must ordered something--perhaps in a terrible doll fugue state.
Well, I know one reason that got me into trouble, with a capital "T" and it rhymes with "R" and it stands for RESIN!
Just got this today. No, it isn't 626 and his weird albino cousin. The one on the left is a limited Dizzney bobbledy-head, and the pale guy is a resin sculpture, in the words of Dizzney, "In the style of a tooling master." Vague, huh?
See the funnest part? Proto-Stitch's little head comes off!
A tooling master is a kinda hard copy. They cut the metal molds for the parts for the final product from the tooling master. That's why head and body are separate.
You prolly can't tell from my dark & scary pictures, but Proto-Stitch is every so slightly larger than his Stitchy friend. It's pretty common to see some shrinkage between steps in the process.
You can also see that somewhere along the line, they switched his little antennae. The production Stitch has antennae that look like they were cast from a different mold, and then hot-glued to his little head. Proto-Stitch has a broken antenna, which is probably why they made the switch.
Well, it still doesn't bring home my wayward dollies, but it's pretty fun. I needs to ask my proto-friends to 'splain exactly what the heck a "tooling master" is used for. (And by proto-friends, no I do not mean early versions of my friends, but rather my zenned out friends who have devoted their lives to divining The Way of the Prototype.)
