You would think something like that would not be easy to change out. It's actually quite simple when you know what you're doing wizzard419. When you make mugs in runs of hundreds, or thousands, a master is made called a 'block and case' which effectively allows you to make as many molds as you like without loss of detail. All they have to do is modify the base part of the mold and make more of them, not the entire thing.
