If the expense of time and work was not so high and the effect worth it, one should sue VROOM for copying everything and selling it at EBAY under his own label. This is theft and lies.
Nothing about buying figures, change their poses, clothes and hairstyle and whatever. I myself have been doing so for many years. But I also inform the original maker whether he he minds me selling a few of the reworked and altered ones or not. Whereas - I sell few only, five, max. ten. More is too much work and I don´t keep up my social status by such tiny amounts of money.
But it has been and is the best way to expand one´s own collection and variety of figures by buying some that are similar in shape and pose to what one needs, cut them into pieces, sculpt the new creations ( YEAAAH ! DR. MINI- FRANKENSTEIN !) and cast them.
I pricipally cut off arms and legs, even cut the knees and elbows and make my moulds with these separate parts. This little plus of work to prepare the cast is being paid back by less work with sculpting the new driver in its special pose.
