    Hi Planetters,

    I found this figure on eBay, but I'm sure it's a recast copy - it has no box plus the seller offers other figures copied from Young Miniatures, Pegaso, etc...

    I like this German Pioneer a lot and because of that I wish to ask for your help with identifying the original source of this figure.

    If anyone knows who is the manufacturer and if it's still available please let me know.


    Thank you,
    Artur

    Keene Ahnung, which is to say, no idea, but I'd bet you're right that it's a recast. Is the seller a Russian? I see a lot of recast material, and a lot of white metal copies of resin kits, from Russian sellers on eBay.

    Prost!

    Hi Mark,

    I have no doubts that he's recaster and I'm not going to support him by buying from him.

    I like this figure, so I'm looking for an info about company which releases (or released) it to buy an original version of it.
