blacksun1520 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I noticed that earlier today Fujis and I couldn't believe somone would sell that custom AND that they didn't mention your name. It's not cool in my opinion, but hey, what do I know... BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 That is bad form to resell the thing without giving the creator a mention. While I can understand that sometimes things come up and one has to part with their collection, and I'm sure its possible to forget exactly where every part of your collection comes from, it is still pretty wrong to sell the thing without trying to get a name to give credit where credit is due.

TENIME_art Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Shoot the b*st*rd an e-mail, and threaten to report him to eBay if he doesn't comply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Why? While perhaps not ethical, he's not doing anything WRONG that could get him reported. Even if he claims it as his own creation, who's to say it isn't (even though it isn't)? It's your word against his. Just lat him take his money and run, and just know not to sell to him again. I've had this happen to me a few times, and while it might piss you off (or even hurt) there's little you can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I shot him an email asking who made the custom, and judging by his response, he's taking the credit for the creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 A few months ago I made and sold a custom Angel Minimate on eBay and I saw today that the buyer is turning around and reselling it. I'm not sure how I feel about it - it's a situation that's been mentioned before around the forum but it's never affected me directly - until now that is. Reselling it isn't such a big deal I suppose but it would have been nice to get a mention in the item description as the person who made it. Fujis - are you sure its yours and not a knockoff he did? The one for sale doesn't look nearly as clean as the one in your pic above. (If it is yours, don't take that the wrong way.... I'm saying I really like the one you have pictured here.)

Fujis Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 No, it's mine alright - he even used the same pictures that I had in the first auction (although his are much smaller). I'm not mad that this guy is selling it, he owns it and can do what he likes, but for him to take credit for it?! That pisses me off especially since the guy is a member here.

Reideen1313 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Don't blame you a bit. Sorry - I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt to the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtf this isn't Sparta Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 People who take credit for other people's work are just... There's not even a word for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 A small consolation in this whole thing is that he sold it for just over $16 and paid over $50 IIRC. Anyway, I was in a show in this year's Vancouver International Fringe Festival called "Get Off the Cross, Mary!" and I made custom Minimates of members of the cast and crew as opening night gifts. Yup, it was a puppet show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Nice work there, though the guy with the camo pants seems somewhat out of place with no visible puppet. Is there such a thing as a puppet show roadie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujis Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated this thread. Anyway, here's a Batman Beyond WIP. The paint job still needs some touching up and then a few clear-coats... All in all, I'm pretty happy with the way he's turned out so far. The wings that I primed and painted are all cracked. Does anyone else ever get that with grey primer sometimes? Where the paint won't adhere properly and cracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujis Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Well, here's the finished Batman Beyond. Not much of a change from the WIP really - I cleaned up some paint lines, tried to make the legs a little less "busy", and clear-coated. I don't like the way the legs turned out and if I ever redo this character I would keep them clean. And here's a shot of Terry with some other Batmen for comparison.

Fujis Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Here are my entries for the Mechacon Custom Contest: The heads and bodies are fully repainted. Zee's hair (the purple one) is a modified White Queen hair piece and Jet's hair is a heavily modified Chun-Li hair piece. Their shoulder armor is sculpted from Milliput and the cylinders on the armor and on their ankles are pieces cut from DD's batons. I sealed their bodies with a glosscote to emphasize their suits of armor and their heads and hair pieces have been dullcoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
