bruce d Posted October 20, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2023 This figure is for sale through a few traders on Alibaba. It is 1/24, resin and has no manufacturer's name: does anyone recognise it as a copy? If so, who is the legitimate source please?

Much easier to pirate figures than ship models. Less than $100. for the rubber and resin plus the cost of the casting from the original caster. It is/was a bit of a plague.
