[iminime] (The Cowboy), The Bounty Hunter & The Bandit

[Bullet]

Yeah, we certainly don't want any witch hunts here based on conjecture. But I've said it before, and this is illustrated by Teddy's example of the Burton sculpt--no sculpt is safe from recasting by indivviduals with no respect for the hobby or artists involved in it. Best to just assume a sculpt will be recast whenever it is made available in any capacity.

It's a very sad state of affairs but I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head with this statement

Because the KR sculpt was in such a limited quantity we know it's likely to be one person of about 5. What's really disturbing is that would imply it's somebody Trev trusts.

No idea if this particular individual is responsible for all or any of the other sculpts but Q's possession of the KR sculpt is very very damning.

But as I said no evidence to speak of certainly not of any nature other than circumstantial so very little can be done at this point.

What is this KR?
Anyway I think we have a list of all DX buyers, after this happening again. Id say we go with circumstantial evidence. Im sorry but this has got to stop.
Wolves in Sheep clothing, sweet words with murderous intent... This is despicable.

The admin doesn't want people making accusations based on hunches alone, and I support that call. Better to never find out who does it than to accuse an innocent person of wrongdoing. If you want to make such an investigation, don't do it publicly on the forum.

Is it possible that those DX sculpts were able to be acquired even after the DX sets were sold out? Just out of curiosity why would blanks need to be issued to anyone in the first place?

Nope, not possible. Exactly 3 unpainted casts were gifted (as a thank you) by Trevor directly. One to me, one to Hector, and one to Ankit.

Oh, I assumed that since this was an official Iminime product those sculpts were Iminime property. Well the recasting is terrible news, but doesn't change the fact that Cowboy is an excellent figure.

Kurt Russell from big trouble in little china. Trev made a very very low amount of those sculpts for those close to him and Q got hold of it!

 

[karamazov80]

Though now they are available from Proteus360.

Yes they are but they were not prior to Q getting his hands on it. It's now being offered through sal like a lot of other sculpts in an attempt to try and hurt Q's sales (not successful at all if you ask me but thats another discussing completely). The fact remains the same the person Q could have got that sculpt from comes from a very very small pool.

 

[karamazov80]

Agreed on all points there, Bullet.

 

[greatlakes6]

Finally I'm goin to personally contact all of the painters I know and ask them if they will consider refusing to paint the sculpt.

Excellent idea.

Be forewarned, it's pretty much "**** your pants" awesome, and, on top of that, seeing it in person is like seeing it for the first time because, thus far, and my apologies to anyone who's photographed it, lI've yet to see any sort of media that captures what you see out of the box.

 

[Wake]

Im also hoping everything arrived safe and unscathed! Lord knows i packed it well. Be aware Matt, that the box will 'appear' squished at the top, but that's because I had to adjust it for size. Either way everything is living in about 5 gallons of styrofoam peanuts.

Yeah he will probably think, ' Great I go from sunny Miami to rainy cold London.

Only downer is I got to go to work tomorrow and I bet he gets delivered when I'm out.

Where do you live...? I'll wait for him on your behalf...................
