Yes it looks crappy, and I bet the one you recieve is even worse. If you get it.

The shading is wrong. These guys must have the mold, they're making them to order. I do like how their delivery time frame just exceeds paypals resolution window.
 
i sent them an email a week ago asking what the bottoms of the base looks like and they never answered.. I can say having the green exclusive I can spot it's not real right away.

I didn't notice that, but if you use credit card then you gets 90 days, a holes.
 
What scares me is the amount sold, especially the Iron man 2 maquette :horror people are actually buying fakes :nono
 
yup they sold quite a few of those. wonder how they got the molds..they never answered multiple questions about what the bottom of the base looks like.. looks like they made good ebayer status selling bootleg Asian CDs.. with some recast sideshow speckled in. Dual locations of Australia and Hong Kong.. This is for the poser, spending 500 on this you should feel some same.

some Chinese man must have crept off with some molds..

you can always spot them though IMO.. paint is usually off or suck..

Here's some well known recasts

Recasts suck. I remember selling my HT Wolverine just before all them recasts of that started hitting eBay. Really ****s up the value of the piece.

What Iron Man 2 Maquette? I don't see it on their ebay page.

I'm an IM fan and unfortunately, I wasn't around back in 2010 collecting stuff so I missed the original Sideshow Edition. So a few months back, I was browsing the web and noticed that the SS IM Maquette was selling for $1k-1.5k. Unfortunatley, no way I would pay that amount for a 1/4 so I've decided to go ahead and buy this fake mentionned earlier.
Yeah, I was truly aware it was a fake, but for 1/5 of the now selling price of the official maquette, I've got to say I'm satisfied.
I know you guys don't approve fakes and all, and trust me, if I would have been around in 2010, I would have def bought it back then to support SS.


Here's some pictures of the fake edition.
Overal, I'm good with it, except the base that is TOTALLY off. The yellowish coloring of it is bad and that's pretty much the only downsize of it.
For the rest, the paint is OK (not great, but ok), the pose is pretty much the same, it lights up and it does a great job for its price. Please don't hate me... :(

And for the seller widesight*123, had a really pleasant transaction. Dunno why, but when I bought it few weeks ago, it was 50$ less than advertised price now...?
