Lol... You know what I see your point csi, and I won't argue against it. I will say that the big companies are well aware of the custom heads market, and they don't care all that much about it because it actually helps them sell pieces at times. Like Josh said it is similar to Marvel editors and Chiefs walking through an artist Ally at a Con and not busting every artist there. It gives there brand a little more exposure and it doesn't hurt anything. I have had several guys tell me they bought Batgirl even though they missed the Ex because they thought the head I did was really nice, and a couple of guys are going to make their decision on the Hulk Reg depending on what mine looks like painted. I won't lie it makes me proud to hear that, but I do get that I am only able to do so because there is an unwritten rule between the comic companies and artists. You are aloud to make a small number of any one product, but don't get greedy or we will smack you down.
Now my issue with the Recaster is that he is literally just throwing another artists work into a box, making a mold, and then casting it. He denies that what he is even doing is recasting because he isn't painting the base up to look exactly like SSCs, and while that would be horrible in its own right, what he is doing requires even less thought and work see is all he is doing is pouring clear resin into his mold. I think the part that pissed me off the most was hearing about how he was buying others customs, like Dans cape, and copying their idea. It just ticked me off.
