Super Freak
No one seems to be doing anything about this seller!
If Sideshow not do anything nobody else will do. Maybe Sideshow sponsor him. Better if him make AP only nobody can claim him to make copy. I have Ardeth Bey 1:1 SSE formyself so I just wait to see my number will come up for sale. Have you got any explains from Sideshow how this is possible for myself I think they are made from the orginal form thats my feeling.
No Explanations from Sideshow Collectibles or ebay as to how this is possible or what they are doing about it. I did get a letter from Sideshow Collectibles stating that my bust is the orginal 13 of 15 bust.
Just saw this thread and it is really scary but also got me thinking. If the original factory that made these products for Sideshow are continuing to pump out the same products are they considered recasts? Because they are made from the same molds so I'm not sure about that. Is it a fake because Sideshow is not the one selling them but some random person in China selling on eBay? I guess legally that's true but if it's the exact same product this starts to get weird...
If Sideshow does not put a stop to this (I'm assuming that the original factory is making some of these identical products) they are basically enabling a third party selling their products and screwing the people that bought their products from legitimate sources (either Sideshow directory or through one of their distributors). This is really troubling
Thats why the high end market is doomed. Because its reliant on product made in countries where people are starving to death and suffer inhumane civil rights violations. So they re-cast cheat and steal just to eat. All so the big companies can make an extra dollar. I would gladly pay more for a product made in the USA. Because I might be working for the company I buy from. You know--the way it used to be when our country was great, and not spiraling down the toilet.
I always wonder why it have to be AP when they make statues it will never be any conroll how many ex it will made. Its a easy way to make more profit for the company. AP is it 1 or 100 pice?
Ok I know of this seller from the LOTR board where they also sell high end stuff that is recast. I believe they have sold recent Weta John Howe stuff as well, perhaps that was a different company.
But the current listing for the Patient Zero life size bust is 999 dollars. You can buy one for nearly half that NOT from China. So what is this dmworkshop's business model? Up charge for fraudulent product??
They're ALL from China!
They're ALL from China!
The Chinese copy everything from toys to big machines it seen also that they copy them self because they are so many people.
Does anyone here on the boards already own this one?
