I suppose it was only a matter of time ?

before we know it these things will be circulating in job lots.

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.

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.?

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?

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 ?

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

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

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