Hi Pedro,
Not to critisize, as I know you mean well, but maybe it's best not to post links to recasters as there may (let me stress MAY) be people interested. I know one other forum where they consider buying originals 'stupid' so there are people actually knowingly buying recasts.
When coming across a suspected recaster, I suggest we send an email to the manufacturors being ripped off. They are the only ones that can take action anyway.
Pretty lowlife, this recasting.
Cheers,
Adrian

Maybe this should be moved to the subforum on reporting piracy:
http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/report-piracy.55/
Is this guy from Russia? I see a lot of metal castings on eBay, from sellers located in Russia, and that are pirated from resin figures like Andrea, Pegaso, etc.
Amen, Adrian. That's always my response, too, because the discussion usually turns to what to do about the pirates. We can educate ourselves to identify pirated copies, and choose not to buy them, but ultimately, in nearly every case, it's the original manufacturer who has any standing to do anything.
It occurs to me, though, that turnabout is fair play, as far as Andrea is concerned, given how much they produce without licensing, like the figure of Spock from "Wrath of Khan" sold as "Space Officer" to avoid having to pay fees.
Prost!

Like all hobbies they are expensive !!! if you buy recasts you destroy the source eventually ,like weakening the blood line all you will have left is duelling banjos

yes your correct, I wont buy recasts.and as I said earlier, you only get what you pay for and want to do the best I can as a modeller, so it only makes sense to buy the best quality figures I can get. I apologise for my earlier comment, to all manufacturers and modellers./badger
