False advert! Ironman

[TMP]

Initial tread edited.

I came across this auction that used our Ironman as No1 reffrence photo of the costume for his own creation.

iron man movie costume ( fiberglass ) - eBay (item 280561955089 end time Oct-13-10 21:51:29 PDT)


This is the photo the person is using to advert.

This is a photo of the older version know as TMP Generation 2 (2008)

This is what he is selling.

I want to point out we are not affiliated with this person in any way. So thanks for the heads up people.
Also if this member is on this board i wish his to explain his reasons and for the staff / Moderators to deal with this apropriatly.

Did you read the description? :lol

"This auction is for a High Quality fan made captain america spandex. ( the gloves, belt and boots are just for show thay are sold sepirate ) Many people are enjoying being a superhero."

Any misrepresentation, using pictures not ones own, is very poor form IMO.

hmmmm, didnt this happen a few months ago with your pictures with another seller? or is this the same seller?

Do you know his username for the board?

 

[TMP]

It happeds frequently that people use our photos to sell of something of their make. I cant recall the username but i seen the logo in one of the profiles of the members on this board if i am not mistaken.

Based some of the other things he does its looks ok. So if he made that, its sad that he is missusing other peoples trust in the way he does.

Recived this reply:

Q: hi i am truly sorry about that my partner just called me and told me he sent me an email with photos of our new products in it and that one got mixed in and because i was listing so late at night i didnt realize that i posted one that was not ours that is a photo we used as a refrence picture to sculpt our suit as thay have the best reproduction on the market but i did just pull the photo down i have no desire to have any trouble with people or to cause problems in the costume comunity that i try so hard to work with and again i am sorry about that we do not want to be portrayed as recasters or scammers selling items that are not ours i have spent the past 8 yeras working hard a building a name for my self so

I replied that i thought it was strange that the photos got mixed ut based on the full body pose is the No1 photo. And that i am satisfied he removed his photo.

Due to this might have been a mistake i will edit the initial tread and tone of wording to be fair.

Dude if people are using your photos all the time to sell stuff why not just watermark them ?

i Was thinking the same thing...

 

[TMP]

I dont know how to watermark them. Is there a way to do this easy like Bulk Watermark?

 

[Montagar]

I have never used this particular program, but it's just an example of what's out there (does batch/bulk watermarking). There are probably a lot of free programs available to do this as well.
