So it's not piracy to turn a profit without going through a license holder? I don't know how you attack one and not the other. I don't think either side is right.
Not on small runs no.

So there's levels of piracy that is acceptable?
There is not grey area in this. You're either doing it legally or you're not.

Way i see it is like this.
It's wrong to recast, and i don't support it.
With that said, it's like the music and movie business. Piracy is here, and always will be, right or wrong. If it were my business i would be going to these factories with the original files/sculpt and making deals with them, and offering both the hand painted and factory versions.
If i couldn't do that, then i wouldn't be making them at all. Just saying if it were me personally.
As i say, i think it's theft and wrong, but i'd definitely be looking into my own factory versions of my own stuff.

What is this BS? HELLO MODS!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay on topic people!!!!!!!!!!!
You telling someone that they need their head examined is a personal attack. If you don't think so, then no one in return will need to call YOU stupid, you proved that yourself.
First of all, my comment was a generalization. The fact that you took it personally means that you are over sensitive and a bit paranoid. You seem to be stuck on the word stupid, has this been a lifelong problem for you? A nickname perhaps? Now that you're walking and talking like a big girl, it's time to grow up.
Machinegun.fr, another retailer who sells Iminime/Cult King, will also be stocking these:
Lethal Weapon Set A - Machinegun
Lethal Weapon Set B - Machinegun
Here's a reasonably neutral statement for everyone; as a matter of principle, whoever is opposed to what Redman is doing should boycott any and every retailer who sells these sets. Also, if there's the slightest doubt that any other set, not just Redman's, could have been in whole or in part "ripped off" from a customizer, I would boycott any retailer carrying those sets as well.

I can't stand this same ol' debate. There's a clear divide in the mentality of the custom fans' and those who are more into the mass produced side of the hobby (and in some cases are anti-custom). It's something that will never be agreed upon so I stopped wasting my time posting whenever the subject came up, but this is different. Of all the recaster scum, none are as low as Redman. We've seen plenty of these clowns steal heads to sell on the cheap in droves but this "company" sets a record low by not only having an obsessive hard-on for Iminime, but by offering full sets and trying to copy Iminime's as closely as possible. Honestly, I'm surprised Dave even allows threads for these BS stolen releases.
After reading through this thread I'll just chime in as one of the several boardies here who have been in pretty close contact with Denny for several years, and one of the many who have been supporting Iminime from their start, to clear up a few misconceptions and assumptions.
Denny would NEVER get involved with or be behind an operation like what Redman is doing. He is way too proud of his his company and their work, and has way too much integrity to engage in shadiness of any sort.
Just because some customs are high priced, doesn't mean they're high profiting
Just because he kept it short and simple on FB doesn't mean that he's not mega f'n pissed or even more ridiculously that he's in cahoots. He more than likely didn't go on a tirade against Redman for the same reason he doesn't post much here anymore. He got sick of losing his cool and getting into keyboard wars.
And oh yea, recasting IS stealing. Talks of laws and licence holders are paper thin hogwash BS excuses.
