I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but I just thought of a question I'd like to ask for the next round. Mods, feel free to lock this topic if it snowballs into a whole bunch of other people asking questions (since we don't even know if there will *be* a round 5 yet…).
In this video about Elvira: Scared Stiff, this guy says he usually doesn't bother with mods, and prefers to keep his tables in factory condition, but Elvira: SS was subjected to financial cutbacks due to waning profits in the industry that made the production units lack some of the details that were in the design. For example, the bones on the bone ramp were supposed to have a "washed" look that made them look more like actual bones, but on the production tables they basically cheaped out and skipped that step, shipping plain white plastic that lacked the intended detail. So in this one case, he modded his own table to make it more like the factory condition *should have been*.
If you watch that video, there are a number of other details that were cut from the production tables as well.
My question is: would FarSight consider deviating from the exact details of a table in a situation where the production tables did not match the final design prototypes?
(I think this is a different question than the one re: whether FarSight would change the female character in Taxi back to Marilyn Monroe, because that was a licensing/likeness issue that would cause the same problem for FarSight as it did for Williams.)
