on the first 541 00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:03,990 is a lack of documentation 542 00:22:04,023 --> 00:22:06,092 for movies 543 00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:10,062 They don't do it taking pictures of each costume, 544 00:22:10,096 --> 00:22:12,999 the model isn't shot from all directions . 545 00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:14,867 People who do it the design specified, 546 00:22:14,901 --> 00:22:16,469 we will use their images 547 00:22:16,503 --> 00:22:18,137 We will use several photos, 548 00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:21,974 and interpolation into our own rotation, 549 00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:25,378 our own side and front and back view. 550 00:22:25,412 --> 00:22:26,946 Lack of reference material, 551 00:22:26,979 --> 00:22:29,716 or references that are not Sufficient Screw-up is known in the line "star war". 552 00:22:29,749 --> 00:22:31,918 For example, the original snaggletooth version 553 00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:34,587 was designed for sears an exclusive cantina play- set 554 00:22:34,621 --> 00:22:36,923 is a large blue figure with silver go-go boots. 555 00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:38,958 ** (dance music) 556 00:22:38,991 --> 00:22:42,629 Lucasfilm decides 557 00:22:42,662 --> 00:22:45,898 > they don't like that 558 00:22:45,932 --> 00:22:49,536 ** (musik tarian) 559 00:22:49,569 --> 00:22:51,471 Lucasfilm memutuskan mereka tidak suka itu 560 00:22:51,504 --> 00:22:53,105 When the figure is actually appears in the shop, 561 00:22:53,139 --> 00:22:54,807 It's much shorter a figure in red clothes 562 00:22:54,841 --> 00:22:56,142 with hairy legs. 563 00:22:56,175 --> 00:22:59,612 All of

When lucasfilm is more in business with kenner 567 00:23:06,185 --> 00:23:07,854 and everything becomes integrated, 568 00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:10,490 they will actually send props exit kenner, 569 00:23:10,523 --> 00:23:12,892 and they have to be kept in a locked enclosure 570 00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:16,062 So you really see the toy getting better and better 571 00:23:16,095 --> 00:23:19,899 in terms of design as the line continues. 572 00:23:19,932 --> 00:23:23,202 You can pass item history 573 00:23:23,235 --> 00:23:26,539 by looking at the pre-production stage for that item 574 00:23:26,573 --> 00:23:28,641 This is rather neat to be able to go, 575 00:23:28,675 --> 00:23:30,543 "look, here it is the whole development 576 00:23:30,577 --> 00:23:35,181 how this was created." 577 00:23:35,214 --> 00:23:38,518 Here we have some prototypes 578 00:23:38,551 --> 00:23:40,219 which reveal enough little information 579 00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:44,223 to how the figure was developed in kenner. 580 00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,893 First of all, we have original wax statues, 581 00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:50,963 and that's actually Art for the picture. 582 00:23:50,997 --> 00:23:54,967 Wax is specially formulated to hold many fine details. 583 00:23:55,001 --> 00:23:57,537 Next we have a hard copy, 584 00:23:57,570 --> 00:24:00,072 > 585 00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:03,109 created by taking the printout from sculpting 586 00:24:03,142 --> 00:24:05,545 and pouring it into the mold two-part urethane material. 587 00:24:05,578 --> 00:24:08,948 Often, some of them < br /> hard copy number 588 00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:10,149 will be painted so designers at kenner 589 00:24:10,182 --> 00:24:12,585 can use it in photography 590 00:24:12,619 --> 00:24:14,186 actual

where they made the master tooling 594 00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:23,896 It was usual to cut the last steel tool 595 00:24:23,930 --> 00:24:28,568 made to make thousands of of things this. 596 00:24:28,601 --> 00:24:30,570 One of the challenges is the lightsaber. 597 00:24:30,603 --> 00:24:31,838 (Lightsaber whooshes) 598 00:24:31,871 --> 00:24:33,105 We try to find out how you made it 599

Unfortunately, our friend in the cost 606 00:24:50,122 --> 00:24:54,093 does not allow us do it spend three cents in spring, 607 00:24:54,126 --> 00:24:57,530 and it's harder products to produce 608 00:24:57,564 --> 00:25:01,934 I have a model store put monofilament 609 00:25:01,968 --> 00:25:03,202 lower the figure arm 610 00:25:03,235 --> 00:25:04,871 and it will come out through his hands...
