Happens all the time. Especially if you take good photos. Once they're on the web anyone can screen grab them in a Google search. Anyone worried about your personal pics being used in this manner should tag them with a watermark.

You could report the item and state copyright infringement. Technically you hold copyright to the image you create, watermarked or not.

The seller may not even own the items. If I sold my collection, I would provide the serial numbers of each statue and take a photo of them to prove that I have it on hand. I think this seller might be trying to rip off buyers. No in-hand photos, no serial numbers and free world-wide shipping. Sounds fishy.

Having watched the film lastnight, Sweet Pea has become my favorite of the group. The statue looks great. I noticed in the film she looks great wearing a hood.

Thanks man.

Also finally bit the bullet and got the ONE missing piece, the Babydoll Minibust. Sucks that it was a SDCC exclusive, thus making it oop day one

At $230 +s/h + tax it is rather expensive compared to the other full size statues, but the display just looks awful without it

Finally got around to properly testmount the silk poster behind the statues.

This is an older poster which seems to have diminished due to light so I will get a new one, but wanted to test the new mounting option.

Previously I just scotch taped the posters to the rear wall, but knew I wanted something sleeker and more durable for my new shelf.

One option I thought about was pinning the poster between back wall and a sheet of plexiglass, but ended up just building a frame that is just a few millimeters smaller than the width. (on height I was restricted to poster size for now.)

The frame is very light, and the Width of the frame materials makes sure it stays at a 90 degree angle. Will figure some kind of permanent locking when finalizing mounting.
