Hmmm, as advertised, A Kirin bust, or maybe two?

Two busts, no box, one put together, one not. Would one bid on one or both? Or is it the smell of cooking resin in the morning?

Looking at past sales they have sold boxed items as well and plastic kits (like Tamiya). It may just be a Asian distributor/retailer selling stuff on the cheap. Someone could check the neggative feedback thuroughly and see if anyone has said anything about copies.

Just an idea.

Two Kirin busts for a pound? without box?
Not the only (expensive) figures he sells without a box btw.
I did check the feedback (before posting), and no, nothing obvious about copies. But then again, most people buying these 'bargains' could not spot an original, let alone a copy. These 'artists' also have a habit of leaving retaliatory feedback if their merchandise is questioned, so those few who do realise that they have been ripped off probably don't make a big thing of it.
Now I would not like to say that some people know that these may be copies, and buy them regardless of that fact because they are cheap.

Please insert the terms 'allegedly', 'possibly', 'maybe' where-ever neccessary to avoid slanderous remarks if required.
