So if you type in Black Major on eBay a bunch of repro items pop up of figures (Alley Viper, Night Viper, Eels, Snow Serpents), but upon contacting Black Major, he is NOT the creator of these customs. Any idea who it might be? I've reached out to a couple of the sellers but no one replies. Also anyone no a good place to purchase repro parts? Please note that this is for personal use (for those that are anti-repro)

There are/were two other known makers
Red Laser's Army Letal (only made Iron Grenadiers) And someone who had the first factory customs made, Cobra troopers, made over 10 years ago now, probably. There's also some people that customize the factory customs to get money out of suckers, who don't realize that what they are buying is a custom of a "bootleg" and will never have any official value (If that matters). If no one is replying it might be because such auctions have been cancelled in the past by anti-repro people, especially true of Star Wars repros. |

This right here is likely your answer. Some folks have a huge supply of Black Major figures/parts, and they swap parts around to create whole new figures, or repaint some of the parts to create all new figures. The prices for these are usually outrageous, but every now and then you can find something really cool/unique at a decent price.

I saw these last week. Question with these "customs" are they posable? Does the paint flake off when you move them? I don't think any of us collectors think collect things GI Joe because of resale value later.

If you type into eBay 'Sneak Peak microphone' there's a US seller in Florida who makes repro parts. I'd buy from him but sadly the shipping is double the price of the cheap items he sells, and the import charge eBay applies inflates the prices so sadly I can't purchase his great items. He may be able to help you.

Is this a thread about reproductions of a reproduction?

So now bootlegs of bootlegs are being created? Crazy. And cool.
I appreciate what Black Major creates. He's an artist. As is evident by others knocking off his knockoffs. It's just wild if ya think about it. HA! We must have been posting at the exact same time.

It's kind of like those Turkish Star Wars figures that became so valuable that bootlegs of bootlegs became a thing.

They're the knock offs playing the knock offs disguised as the other knock offs.
