How do they paint mass produced dolls and action figures? Are they just hand painted by lots of people, if not, what kind of machines do the painting?
In: Engineering
Depends on what kind of item it is. There are certain machines that will stamp on a color, then the next color, and so on. It’s evident in some toys when things don’t line up correctly (say, the eye white is in place, but the iris is a little off).
More expensive figures, like big anime figures, are typically hand painted with airbrushing and masking tape in pieces, then put together. Some statue figures are painted in one piece.
