Mass produced customs...

[01AB]

Are there any such things?

I have seen the Unpainted Boba Fetts with the rocket on Ebay and ocaisional home made customs but has anyone ever turned out a large amount of the same figure (surely a K-3PO would be very easy, or one of those little Death Star robot things on wheels that Chewy roars at).

I did (years ago at uni) think about making a Stormtrooper mould with the aim of producing an army of 500+ (though i guess these would be classified as bootlegs?) for a project and still believe it wouldnt be an impossible task as a Stormtrooper is relatively simple design and easily painted (front/back of body/head and limbs would have been cast in white plastic or resin). I wonder if anyone would have bought it?

If someone did a mass produced custom/bootleg now and carded it etc, could Hasbro/Palitoy/Mr Lucus take you to court for copyright infringement or something?

Oh, and sorry if I freaked you out yesterday Bollux, my photoshop skills are **** :lol:

The stormtrooper molds come up on ebay from time to time. Some people who have had these in their possesion have made convincing copies of prototypes with multiple colors.. These have turned up in the market as well as several forged jawa prototypes. The boba to my understanding has been massed produced by a company out of china. The only thing that would be considered in my mind as a mass production, unofficial item would be the Uzay line from turkey.
