Ask that of the 3500 REG buyers who missed out on the EX. EX buyers sure don't want it happening. Recasting causes the value of a piece to plummet in the aftermarket. The Iron Man COM was going for serious $$$$ in the aftermarket at one point. By the time recasters were done with that piece, The EX and REGs go for around retail or less now. I feel for anyone who pays high aftermarket prices for a piece they missed out on and then start seeing recasted pieces flooding the market.

Don't buy recast heads. Buy custom made heads.

A fake is a fake. I just don't understand why anyone would even want something like that. Kinda like getting original art that somebody traced.

Aren't recasts usually of noticeably lesser quality? If you're getting a recast head, then it wouldn't really look right with the original body.

Recasting statues is even worse for the hobby than SS edition sizes.

Recasting is a crime.
Look up chibson, they bootleg every hobby they can profit from.
