Trawling through my old hobby bookmarks I came upon a Russian eBay store that used to only do FW recasts. Now they have these babies. I wonder if they're a copy of something or actual original product? In any case they look spiffy, especially the asphalt one.

Definitely seen those somewhere else before.. will have to wrack my brains and have a think!

Original product is a .PDF file. It looks like the Russians are printing it out on vinyl and then shipping it. Does anyone know what the rates for having a local print shop do this are?

A quick Google suggests here in the UK it is a similar cost (but with much cheaper delivery) Assuming the Russian guys are making enough profit to be worth it, I'm not convinced I've found the cheapest option yet.

Nice find!

NOT only FW resculpts, they got some stuff I've never seen as well as some maxmini, chapterhouse and Scibor stuff.

are they bootlegging all of that or importing for Russian consumption

Unauthorized replicas all, judging by price.

Their figures are all recasts. A little birdie tells me that it's good stuff but it is recast and not original/authorized/licensed in any way.

Recasts coming from Russia??? Next you'll tell me the purse my wife bought from a street vendor in New York last week wasn't real gucci .

Real Guchi maybe.

Those mats look nice though!

I think i got a FW rhino door from them. It was a little smaller than what the original should have been. But besides that i was happy with it hehe.

FWIW, those FW doors ten to be a little smaller than they ought to even when bought from FW, IME

A friend of mine bought severalFW recasts from the Russian Federation. He said they used better resin and the casts were spot on. So I just bought a Hornet to see if he was telling the truth. I did see these mats but they weren't enough of a deal for me so I passed.

DakkaDakka is not the site to discuss the merits of illegally recast products. Thanks
