Wax sculpt for Micro Collection Chewbacca
The lunging Chewbacca from the Micro Collection Death Star Escape playset is one of my favorite Micro figures. It's dynamic and the flowing hair is immaculately rendered. You see the wax sculpt for it above.

Here you see the sculpt beside a 4-up hardcopy of the figure.

This silicon mold made off the sculpt was used to produce hardcopies such as the one you see above. If you look closely, you can see remnants of Dynacast still clinging to its surface.

This shot shows several 1:1 scale prototypes. From left to right: unpainted squeezing, painted sqeezing, and gold-toned metal.
