Still testing the similarities for fun here. Forgive my nerdiness.
Test 1: split image
Test 2A: overlapping image
Test 2B: split image
Test 3A: overlapping image
Test 3B: split image
Pretty much done exploring this idea. Classified Scarlett and Retro Scarlett are different, but they could have been adapted from the same basic 3D rendering. At least the eye shape and nose shape are similar enough to raise the question. Classified Scarlett obviously has a longer face and more prominent chin and cheekbones with thinner lips, while Retro Scarlett has wider smoother cheekbones, shorter face, and fuller lips. I'll leave eyebrows out of this discussion because it hard to see the sculpt beneath the paint. There's enough that is different that one could argue that the similarities are coincidental. For me, however, this little experiment strengthens my suspicion that most if not all of the new sculpts in the Retro line may be borrowed from other projects, primarily shrunk from designs from the Classified line. Doubtful that anyone has or will be specifically assigned to design sculpts for the Retro line exclusively that weren't originally designed for other projects. Not surprising if true, based on what we've seen in a primarily repack-driven line. There is also the possibility that some new sculpts we see in Retro may end up being unique to the Retro line, but only if they never see the light of day in 1:12 scale or other cancelled project they were probably designed for. I for one am grateful for ANY new sculpts in 1:18 scale and will celebrate the good ones we get.
