What's custom and what's repro?

[wrighty]

I am sure it's been discussed before, my feeling is repro is made to look like original and custom is completely different from original, right or wrong? 8)

 

[x-wingMark]

Right.

The repro is often tried to fall people. Custom stuff does not do this.

 

[poncho]

imo

reproduction : a imitation to look like the original item

custom : a modified or reimaginetive take of a original item to make something new and fresh or completly different

Go to agree.

If I start casting and painting yak faces, that's repro

If I start casting fluorescent rubber yak faces to look like muscle men, that's a custom.

If I start making yak x wing pilots or yaks in storm trooper disguises, that's custom.

If I start making identical copies of yak face figures at 6" scale, or 1" scale that's a custom.

All of this is just my opinion of course, and making really **** customs and selling them on eBay for a fortune is likely to get some stick as well.

Think that just about sums it up for me too

A repro is made to look the same as something, a custom is made to look different.

What about this? Repro figure, non poseable but custom paint! Overall custom!! :lol:

That is excellent, but how on Earth have you managed to resist making him a camouflage vinyl cape? ;-)

Jeez, I must have had too much sun... I really, really like that!

 

[Mr-shifter]

In my opinion that is a custom. I don't like it though.
