The Bigger Figure
Yes, bigger figures are changing the hobby. The look and the feel of the hobby are different as a result of the stockier figures. These bigger figures open the door for the coach to display his creations through artful expression. From my perspective, that is what this hobby is; art.
In regards to standards, the bigger figure breaks that mold. Needless to say, the bigger figure causes controversy. When I say “biggerâ€, I am talking about height, width, muscles; the entire anatomy of the figure.
In the beginning, I wasn’t quite ready to embrace the concept of the bigger figure. After taking the time to create some of my own, I realized the benefits in having such figures on the board. One of those benefits is variety. I like the way my teams look on the board with varied poses.
To reduce the conflict between artful expression, which I love and standards, use the bigger figures where they are accepted.
