[Jnix] 1/6 Han solo Custom hs - closed

Always going to happen. With something this good and this limited, it was just a matter of time. I am actually more surprised it took this long.

Honest question: Recasting is a super scummy thing to do. But since these are private sales, usually from individuals, is it illegal? I can see how it would be since it's someone's work, I'm just not sure where the line is drawn. Is it not ours to do with once we own? Or is it more nebulous like a digital sale? Where we own it but are not allowed to distribute it?

TonTon, P.I.

Re-Castle?

Perry Resin?

Nobody's zipcode who got it here matches the seller's location. For whatever that's worth. Thought maybe it could be some super easy detective work. :lol

Agreed. You just always hope it won't though.

 

[Comatoast]

ooh, thats a can of worms. Like with DVDs/CDs (if anyone still buys those) can do with it what you want, it's just that you can't RESELL (or even redistribute) the material in another format or anything but selling the orignal form.

That said, it will happen - no stopping it really. You can say "don't buy it" but you know they will sell.

Well, that's what passes as a joke from me! Now we need to stop pushing this thread to the top! :dunno (another "joke"...kind of?)

Apparently ripping a CD for personal use is still illegal in the UK.

As far as sculpts go I guess I find it more immoral than illegal. In this particular instance Jnix has already made his money in his limited run. Now, unless he plans to open up another run then he has made all his money from this particular sculpt. A recast won't hurt him in this way, and won't devalue an original. But it's still a scummy thing to do with someone's art.

OK so crap it's not an original. Wow now I'm the guy that bought the crappy recast! He had it up for sale for $50 or Best offer. It looks really good in hand but it's made from a white chalky material. Seems solid enough but I'm not sure how well paint will stick to this thing.

Just rinse it off first. You can also use super fine sandpaper like 600-800 grit to just scuff it up enough so paint will stick.

 

[jedijim3002]

Cool. Thank you.

 

[cmiller99]

Unsurprising but no less disappointing because of it.

 

[Darth Fok]

So it begins...

Names blurred to protect the (so far) innocent. In all actuality, no one was asking for a cheap knock-off, but a new sculpt, so that's promising at least. Hopefully none of the recasters can get hold of one.

Damn that's my pic I posted here. That was fast. Don't think anyone can beat jinxs work. Hope the folks who try and recast fall in their asses

From what I have seen, recasts are always subpar. You can't touch the original. I had one painted by Jnix, so for me that cannot be equalled or surpassed anyways.

Often imitated never duplicated!

[chubbyman]

My thoughts are i rather put money in the hands of the person who sculpted this from a ball of clay compared to someone who copied it.

 

[spiderbo]

Is there any chance of a second run of these?

I think not. But maybe you can compile an interest list and see if the list is big enough to tempt jynx to make another final run.
