Ebay Silver Surfer

Are these ebay sellers in China with custom pieces legit? Anyone with experience? Quality good?

I am looking at this Silver Surfer statue 1:10. Looks really good. Seller also has two nice Cyclops pieces also.

Yea, even if they are knock offs, they still look good though... wouldn't you agree? Lol

Thanks for everyone's feedback. Let me do more research on this Chinahobby fellow.

Is it just me ...or is that eBay Silver Surfer smaller than the original?

Could've sworn the original was 1/4 scale. This one looks 1/6 scale or smaller.
