×××××××× No it's not. In this case Alpine has created their own resin art from a bottle. No other manufacturer's material or ideas. CMK then buys the figures on the sly, cuts them up and makes "frankenmasters" out of them. They are rip off artists. I would not be surprised if all their other stuff is also recast .. but feel free to buy cheap Eastern European black market knock offs if that's your thing. But don't be surprised years from now when there are no CMK figures because Alpine decided to close its doors...

Totally agree,with all respect for those who produce inanimate objects such as tanks etc ... that have shapes and dimensions well defined a figurine is another thing, I personally buy nothing from a company that exploits the work of others with no respect

Three links enough or u guys need more?

CMK has obviously taken the old saying "good artists borrow, great artists steal" to heart. But CMK is only at the point of borrowing, not stealing. Because the whole point of stealing is to do it so well no one ever catches you. That's what makes an artist who steals great.

^^^^^ Whatever makes you sleep at night I guess. Personaly I think they are a bunch of toerags And your definition of stealing is incorrect. Stealing is unlawfully taking others' property.

Support the real deal not the copies
