 Re: Kaws Fakes / Bootlegs on the Rise ?
I had to post the first pic over on KR, just to get a laugh at all the little kiddies going crazy...

Imagine if he redid the sculpt with removable innards like the anatomy models in biology class? Then you could cast the innards in different coloured vinyl and insert or remove them.

 Re: Kaws Fakes / Bootlegs on the Rise ?
If you're afraid of getting duped, just keep track of what's been released and you should have no problem, really.
Useless: posting the GID fakes over at KR just to watch the fallout was the smart play.

Wouldn't there be a size difference if they were boots?

From the pictures the Stormtropper doesn't look that good, but the Dissected one looks great!

I actually wish these were just a tad crappier, but I like them more than the originals.

 Re: Kaws Fakes / Bootlegs on the Rise ?
Having to pay the bills to get toys made can be hard, and because of that its really hard for me to condone booting vinyl on principle. You're basically coasting on the work and investment of other people to line your own pockets. Bootlegging characters with crappy/amazing new sculpts is another matter entirely, though, and one I can wholeheartedly condone.
That said... I want those bootlegged dissecteds. I want to buy them and paint them ridiculous colors and have a blast. That pearly one is TIGHT, and this coming from a guy who really wouldn't pay more than $20 for any Kaws toy besides maybe the KvP (I could possibly be talked into paying $45 or so for that although I would balk a bit).

 Re: Kaws Fakes / Bootlegs on the Rise ?
it's a sticky subject, but if it's a boot of an out of print figure at a drastically reduced price... sure

 Re: Kaws Fakes / Bootlegs on the Rise ?
Did I mention how bad I want this? I will trade a regular dissected for this.
Ok I'm lying but I will trade some good shit for this. Anybody actually seen one in person?

 Re: Kaws Fakes / Bootlegs on the Rise ?
Watch those boots. Sometimes they look good in photos, but when they make them, they just chop the articulation apart. Most of the time the articulation is terrible, joints don't fit right- to the point where you can't even move them sometimes, you'll have gaps, there will be tears in the mushroom caps. I've picked up boots for cheap just for fun and for reference, but never throw down big. You'll be nothing but disappointed- from my experience.
