"If you have my sculpted figures that bought from re-casters, you are no longer welcome to me! you are not my customer anymore! If you need this figure for your tank, please ask re-casters sculpt for you, regards, Jeff

If I may say something to this issue generally and not only for Jeff ,whose work I admire and it is really sad to see his efforts being pirated.....
In my mind the end to this story will happen when the following things will happen : 1) all figures are digitally sculpted or scanned by their creator.
2)The buyer ,downloads the files for 3 d printing 3)The 3d printers become affordable and accurate for this use and each one of us "prints " the desired figure (file with code so that you can use it only once or as many times as the creator allows you.In this way also I believe that figures will or should become cheaper so that there is no profit in the pirates.......
I dont see any other way how this problem will cease to exist in our hobby........

Your figures are awesome and I first started purchasing from you when you started making 1/35 scale figures. At the time 120mm were a little to big for my needs. But I always admired the 120mm figure you have created. Unfortunately there will always be people that will try and benefit from other peoples hard work. I will always purchase directly from you, you deserve our loyalty.

I was as a trader last weekend on a show and had a discussion with a customer about the my "sell off" prices for my last nutsplanet figures. He was the meaning that they are too expensive because he could get "them" for 11,00 Euro with postage. As I mentioned "recaster" and that he would help to destroy the figures scene the answer was "but they are cheap"

Nothing more to say

Hello, I agree with Jeff recasters will destroy this hobby if not stopped somehow. I only buy my figures from Jeffs sight or what he sends to Chuck at The Red Lancers. Ray

I was selling some figures at one of the Nats a few years ago..had one guy looking at some new Pegaso figures I had in stock, I over heard him say to his friend.."im gonna go home and slpa this baby in a mold".... I reached over agrabbed it from his hand and said hell no you aint.
I will however agree that if the originals were sold a little cheaper ,than #1 you will sell more of them, and #2 it will reduce the reason why people buy recasts... though some buy them simply because they dont know anybetter... when I got into figure models along time ago,I had no idea what a recast was and bought a few myself ..considering they used the same photos, same description everything..I had no idea ..just thought I was gettin a deal at the time.
