I'm not sure why this sculptor is keep using Alpine parts. He appears to be good enough to make his own.

He used the basic body of an Alpine figure to re-sculpt the details. The face is also Alpine's.

It is unfortunate that Armorama continues to promote this black market profiteer. This is the second or third time it's been pointed out these are knock off figures. Is it because CMK is considered a legit company? It calls into question their whole AM line - who knows how many are knock offs? Truly sad.

the second one (french) looks like have alpine trousers but I am not exactly sure. Yes it sad that some people earn money on somebody's hard work, but if big companies can not fight with piracy (illegal music copies, movies, computer programms etc), so what with small figure makers.
