Sorry to say it but i love the captain america. I love the sideshow piece but i sold it because it always looked like a big doll to me because of the cloth costume. I wish Sideshow would have made it like this to begin with

Hi
On this picture, I don"t think they are recast.
The xeno stand up modern iron man is an original creation. The tony stark head is really different from sideshow work. And for the others, I read they are custom conversion from original item. Owners don't want cloth/resin mix.

I happen to have seen a recast of Bowen's Iceman recently in the market. I suppose they're trying to mimic the Clear Iceman but it seems it's badly done, neither look like the Clear version nor the Frosted version. Also the base paintjob looks patchy.

What you talkin about, man? It's bloody obvious they tried to rip off the Stark head but due to poor moulding skills they failed to copy it successfully.
Yeah, they may have redone the back to make it straight and whatnot but it's just obvious. And NOT ORIGINAL in any way shape or form.

Aren't there any laws regarding this?
I understand how you feel, verified. It's like how I'm ashamed to be Chinese due to the fact a lot of them are raping the planet and it's occupants just for a quick profit.
It's just unfortunate that a few rotten apples spoil it for the rest of us but don't feel ashamed. Angry maybe.
Just face it, Asians get a bad rep almost anywhere they go. People refuse to ship stuff to this continent or accept payment from Asia due to the fact too many scumbags are ripping people off for a quick buck.
Sad as there are still so many great people here that some selfish punks gave us all a hard time.

sorry, but there have been eyewitness reports from locals, who have seen them working on unpainted Sideshow recasts in their shop, measuring and cutting up rolls of fabric. these guys will never stop.

Hi,
I say I don't think so I'm not affirmative.
According to me exception of the Iron man Head, The hulk, Thor and Ca america look really transform cloth to resin custom.

Well as always there will be someone with a low post count/lurker here to defend them.

It looks to me like the clothing on Cap and Hulk are sculpted on. I hate to say it but I like it. Hulks pants are a lot better then the cloth ones that came with the original PF.
