A lot of these look like Verlinden, but I don't know the whole catalogue. He does have a 90 mm Andrea figure that lists for $99 starting at $29.99 with no indication of brand...I'd assume pirate and avoid him like the plague.

Model-in is a notorious e-Bay pirate. While some of his (?) stuff might be genuine, the vast majority are illegal recasts. Avoid like the black plague, and report as illegal copies (FWIW) to e-Bay.

"DANGER, WILL ROBINSON" - AVOID, AVOID, AVOID
As already stated - this guy is a PIRATE and a COUNTERFEITER and should NOT be encouraged or supported in any way, shape or form.
The giveaway with these pirates is that (a) most of them are in the Far East and (b) many of them offer goods without the original box ("no more box").
Not sure what good reporting him to feeBay will do though. This subject has come up before, and others have done so - but eBay don't seem in the least bit interested in doing anything about it.
They don't seem to care, as long as they're getting their aution fees and their cut from the sales. Disgraceful.
