That's how we ordered food when I was in the Navy visiting Japan. We'd go to the display case of fake food and order what ever looked the best. We usually settled on the most expensive dish as we figured it had to be good. We usually weren't disappointed.

yeah that doesnt explain it, it takes about creating plastic molds injecting and then heating and spray painting

THAT is not what is happening here

Did you watch my posted video, and then read the article you linked ?

I'd say it's wax or similar, and hot. We're seeing the phase change, so no chemical reaction at all.
