American Toy & Figure Sculptors
Following the Korean sculpting article, below are some gifted Western artists that produce work for US companies. Apart from intricate detailing and meticulous proportions, what stands out to me most is the versatile skill set of each artist. They work with a range of mediums, varied subject matters, sizes and materials. I imagine the field would be a competitive one and diversity would be a distinct advantage.
It's a shame their personal websites are so poorly designed making it hard to enjoy the work shown. I recommend Googling their names to see what comes up elsewhere, hopefully with some better quality images.
