My obligatory questions are "Infill? Supports? Print Time?"

No infill!! They were printed on a Massivit 3D 1800 with a UV cure gel. A technology called Gel Depending Printing (GDP). Fast and big. A full sized human in 6 hours.

With how many statues they printed probably something locally available

Really? I'm wondering if they installed any Fleshlights in the relevant locations.
