omg and who the **** would buy them ? :? the price is not far from the original stormtrooper :shock:

 

[Ruby2511]

Seen his listing a few weeks ago, I agree you can get the original stormtrooper for near that price :!: :!:

Yes, but an original isn't as white as his and will probably have marks on it too! :roll: :wink:

I think reproduction stuff has really hurt the hobby and has increased a lot over the last few years, but this is another level of despicable.

The lazy ****er can not even bother to take his own pictures. Those are Poontroopers from 7 years ago : https://www.imperialgunnery.com/reproductionfigures.htm

And watch out for these guys. They're about to hit the market, the seller is taking pre-orders. Fully articulated. Will definitely fool some.

I was immediately thinking Poon when these popped up... buying in bulk and selling them on.

Luke Stormtrooper is worrying though... made by an ex Kenner/Palitoy employee apparently..


"My supplier/maker of this amazing figure has spent months and months to finaly pull this off, these are same plastic, same weight, same technique as the originals were made, the reason for this been of the highest quality is he used to work on the originals back in the day. These are as close to kenner as you will ever get.  "

Oh no not this scamming little wanker again, mark my words these figures will be everywhere because of this guy, look at how he flooded the market with thousands of the latest fake weapons. Gotta love this quote straight from his Luke Stormie listing...

"PLEASE NOTE: The figures are to complete your collection and for display only, please do not go to sell on and pass as original, this is not what this item or any other of my other listings are for, its simply to get your self a bargain at a low price and to enjoy it for yourself."

... That's real rich coming from the **** who was selling his fake Leia blasters for £20 each as originals and scamming all his ebay buyers. :?

This new listing clearly shows he has direct connections with a repro manufacturer somewhere, which contradicts his statements in all his weapon listings that he "purchased them all as originals". Don't believe a word he says about an ex-employee having a part in making these either, this guy is completely full of ****.

Reported, not that it will do much good :roll:

I have done the same, although as you say, not sure what good it will do.

So I guess that means we can expect near perfect repros of Yak Face, R2 Popup and every other £150 plus value figure to start popping up soon. Great! :roll:

On its own the Han Stormtrooper (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...h=item41f75b47e1:g:EkoAAOSwq2xcKln3:rk:6:pf:0) could be great, if appropriate measures were taken to easily distinguish from any original items (ie the helmet) which, given the kind of manufacturing the guy clearly has access to I'm sure wouldn't be a problem. I'm sure loads of collectors would be up for a vintage style Han Stormie in isolation. But taken in context, with this guy and everything else he's done/doing to ruin the hobby in the name of money, it's a big shame.

Yes maybe his is more white but who will have a more white stormie repro ? if you can get a normal white vintage for nearly the same price :?

Maybe it is just the same poontroopers ? :?

Scary but the good thing is that it looks like the is no stamp on the leg :? I am so tired of this repro, thanks for the warning not seen this one before.

It will do nothing unfortunately, ebay don't give a monkey's!

eBay might not give a ****, but what about Hasbro / Disney ? They own the copyright

Yeah all related to Chris Smith. If it's not his account it's someone in cahoots with him

Wanker, but one of quite a few.

EBay don't give a ****, nor do Lucasfilm. If they did Poon, Orme and others would have been warned and possibly faced legal action. They are small fry and they are more concerned tryjng to save the saga because of recent horse **** dished out.I blame Lucasfilm partially because of all the overpriced modern shite that they spew out year after year. This is further proven by the discount of figures of the recent offerings in the cinema - £2 last jedi figures anyone??

I say this so many times but education is key. Spend your money wisely and research.

I tried to contact hasbro many years ago and they did nothing, maybe disney will but since they do not make this old figures then they maybe do not care.
