cool, and an early congrats on the purchase. let us know how much it costs.
wish i had the ability to make something like that.
cheers:cool:
 
Yexel that is near perfection. Can't wait to see the finished product.
 
Yes, there's no way to get these ever... no one will have one of... I don't know, more than 20 but less than 40 ever made... :google
 
Has Sideshow made ISM busts out of the leftover Black Spidey's and offering them up during Spooktacular?
 
This is why I said don't believe what you read...

[QUOTE;2300751]I feel like a douche saying this but i gotta throw this out there.
I PM'ed Yexel over at the freaks board about the Iron Spidey custom and it is indeed a recast of the original spiderman bust and he is recasting 30 of them and making his "own" run even with a COA.
Now is that legit?
Licensing issues?[/QUOTE]

I knew Yexal wasn't stupid enough to use a Red Spider-man bust for a custom. He has the facilities available to him to do castings.
I have no problem with it since he's not trying to replicate a product. That's why I commend him on a job well done.
 
I'd like to know what Sideshow and the administration of this board think of this...

Update: This guy has been banned from the Statue Forum now...

This guys a recaster and banned from the forum.



I'd like to know if Dave has big balls too.

now that has got me thinking that basically his entire collection is a collection of recasts...
and he has had the cheek to show it here...
 
Interesting conversation going on at statueforum about Yexel and his little collection.

It involves an AP 1:1 Thing bust.

Check this auction on ebay then check the pics on this thread.

item num 290266157157

The pics might be lifted, but there is an awful lot of SS AP showing up on Ebay lately.

Not passing judgment--I was very naively impressed by Yexel's collection--I want them to be real, I really do.

Wow, I didn't know that at all. That's crazy that he's able to make recasts......a little scary too.
 
yeah, i also noticed alot of artists proofs showing up from that region also.
unfortunately, it doesn't help a great deal to ban these people, all they have to do is reregister under another name. at least this way we have some chance of keeping tabs on them.
but of course they are reading the same posts that we are writing on. so in the end, :)confused: we can't win) i don't know what we as a community can do about this practice (recasting).

it's really up to the big companies, such as sideshow, marvel etc. to do something about this, though even with their deep pockets, there's not much they can do about these people.
at least not until these other governments start cracking down on all types of knock offs, (not just statues) and i don't think that will happen quickly because most of the govenment officials in these regions are as crooked as the people doing the deeds in the first place.
 
Banning helps because then eventually they run out of places to show off their items. It's against most boards rules to reopen an account after being banned.

Also it's up to the public first not to buy recasts to nail the recaster's supply by cutting off the demand.

IMHO if the dude is thinking about recasting a SM 1:1 bust to customize into an ISM custom... ban the fool. If he is taking original SS 1:1 busts and customizing then it's all good.
