My early YODA copied and being sold on ebay as original puppet!!!

Just thought I'd let you know that's it's now on the rebelscum.com home page.
 
Say hello to the seller :lol

"Hello to the seller".

Can't be - the seller's location of Ampfing is positively miles and miles from Munich! :lol:lol

I agree. Maybe it is just the eyes and the chin, but somehow it doesn´t look right.

It's a very distinctive 'smiley' sculpt. Just look at the mouth. A good piece of work but *very* clearly not the original!
 
Well this is my first version of Yoda and that one being sold is exactly the same!

Just got a reply from the seller...(I confronted him with the fact, that the YODA is not a cast from the original molds, but a recast of your work)

Here´s the brief translation from terranote:
No.1:
"What´s the problem?
We purchased the plaster-mold as "originals" and can do what we want to.
I contacted the seller of the molds and he claimed these being a mold of the original/ screenused Yoda. Now FU**OFF! And I reported YOUR messages to ebay *HAH*"

No.2:
"...in addition to that, how come that a mold of a "fake" is put into circulation? The sculpter did it in commision and received $ for it and then the molds were sold, right?"

So the question to Phil is...did you sell the mold and the rights to pull casts to anyone?

You get that kind of reply all the time from recasters.... its the form response and is typical of those who know they're in the wrong. And I never sold any plaster molds... the mold was actually silicone and I still have it somewhere
 
So that would be a 'no'. As if.

I'm predicting a somewhat truncated RPF career for Mr. Conway...
 
That version was only ever made in resin.... the V2 had a plaster mold. I think the writings on the wall for this guy :confused
 
I know that the one on the bay is taken from a original mold.
If you look exact to the pictures you may see many differences.
It must be original.


Your interests include Little Shop of Horrors...and you're from Germany as shown on your profile on here and your profile on youtube with this Yoda puppet so the paper trail definately leads to you!!!

Good bye you recasting scum!!!
 
I don't know. This was several years ago, ebay may have converted his feedback.


So how come the seller has 100% positive feedback? wtf!

Does he know it's not original, perhaps he bought it from someone else as an original (or copied from an original)?

Very nice job on Yoda though :thumbsup
 
The seller of this Yoda states, that he bought the plaster molds of an "original Yoda puppet"...I asked if he´d be willing to shar ethe name of the former "owner/ maker" of these molds.

Don´t expect to get a reply, but worth a try ;)

Good bye you recasting scum!!!

You´re right.
He´s auctioning an audrey as well, so it´s him I guess.

Anyway...there´s still the claim that he purchased the molds (= the rights to produce and sell copies).

Give the guy a chance to defend himself

Markus
 
Yeah, like I said. Well, I kidded about it, but c'mon, what are the chances he's not at least an associate of the seller?

Location of "Terranote" = Ampfing

Location of "lyleconway" = near Munich

Ampfing is <> 45 miles from Munich.

Condemned out of his own mouth.
