In other news...
So, let's just say I'm actively exploring other options for "high quality" statues outside the main players. To be clear, I'm not looking for recast or even unlicensed stuff, I'm looking for 100% original work.
That said, on my explorations, I've come across a number of - let's call them "custom" ventures. One in particular caught my attention - and not in a positive way. These guys - called INNER STUDIO - seem to be offering statues that are 1:1 replicas of Queen Studio products - as well as Infinity Studios. When I say 1:1, from the photos I MEAN 1:1.
Either these guys are the actual manufacturing team behind Queen and Infinity, or these guys are the reason for Queens new product I.D. scheme.
What's strange, is that these guys are also offering a full scale bust of Scar Jo Black Widow - which is clearly not offered by Queen or Infinity - and this is making me feel these are a pirate company.
So, who knew? it's China - and, what's my point? I'm wondering if there is an official connection between this company and Infinity or Queen and I'm giving these guys a poor wrap - or if there really is something shady going on.

Anyone offering replicas of Queen pieces ARE shady knockoff companies
That said, I wouldn't mind a PM with details of that scarjo?

Has anyone actually registered their pieces with Queen yet?
I’ve got a few of those scratch cards, but I haven’t done anything with them as of yet.

I can't do that due to forum rules - but a quick check on Facebook should reveal all.
I can't believe that Queen Studios isn't aware of this company, if they openly advertise on Facebook. So while it seems like a shut case, I can't imagine things are so brazen - even in China. What's more, the prices are not even that different from the official pricing......

Just had a look at the Black Widow, while the concept is good, not a very good likeness.

Agreed. It looks like they've used a straight up wig, and not punched hair! But take a look at their Aquaman, and even the 1:2 Capt.America - they look legit....as in, they could pass for the official piece.....

Their store page and their owner's private page are both only a month old, and they both use a gmail account as their business contact. The big studios might not have gotten around to them yet. That, and the fact that they're advertising sold-out official pieces, as well as no-name customs, pretty much says "stay away" for most people.
That being said, gohdayum I want that Black Widow bust they posted this morning...
