Oh great..now we have to worry about being ripped off by repro's as well as Star Wars ones...the aussie' jungle hat repro's are bound to turn up sooner or later.

[Chopper]

The Bazooka and Ammo box are obvious fakes, but that Sten is a little harder to spot. Price is a bit steep for repro's, you could get the real thing for the same.

BTW I've been in discussions with my Brother in law, he's a die maker...... might have to start a new thread.

I wonder what metal they are made of or if there are any other safety aspects relating to these.?

[Muton]

They must be lead or some 'pot' metal.

i bought a repro yoda brown snake from him the start of last year
i had some problem with him,i can remember now
it was very brittle and bendy
so he has decided to make af repros now?

[Andy1672]

I have had a few metal star wars repros in the past, and they are quite heavy. I would imagine the Shadow bazooka would make the figure topple very easily.

The metal used is very brittle and snaps quite easily, I think its similar stuff to what they use for cheap jewellry. those skull pendant things on black string necklaces etc...

I would urge people to avoid these and pehaps if they dont sell he wont make any more ?

[zakkfan]

well i wont be buying any
its not as if they are rare
dont see the need for them

[The Baron]

Yeah, if it was 10 for a quid then maybe, but these are dearer than the originals. What's the point?

[Lady Jaye]

Fully agree on that, what's the point...
