I don't think the sticker sheet discussion was in an ethical context (although main reason for no contributing was so KO-ers cannot use it and in that sense could have an ethical element.)
To me, the key issue is passing off. If a repro item tries to pass itself off as the real thing, or is sold in the context that would lead the buyer to believe it is the real thing, then it is unacceptable to me (whether its ethical or not is for people other than me to decide).
So, going point by point...
- Repro stickers: sold from Reprolabels and stamped at the back so that it cannot be mistaken as the real thing, okay acceptable to me; if sold by someone as part of a figure claiming that it includes unused sticker sheet, not acceptable to me.
- Repro parts: okay acceptable if someone casts it for his/her own use to replace missing parts of a figure. Not acceptable if sold online and saying its a genuine part.
- Repro toys: Well, if by these you mean straight out KOs, then I don't think I need to further comment.
Again, I'm just saying it in terms of whether its acceptable or not from my perspective, and some situations may be ethical and others are may not, so I don't know.
I cannot comment on what is the ethical difference.
Thanks sir!
I may have something awesome to reveal next week....!![]()
