"Their designs" are not even theirs most of the time. They take others' artwork as they please without permission and print it. It is one thing to provide what is considered "commentary and homage to game", another thing to steal whatever they want and profit off it. A lot of us here have purchased art prints that were made by independent artist that weren't licensed/official but what fantasybox is doing is beyond all that IMO.
I am convinced that a significant amount of their sales come from the fact that people don't understand that they aren't official. Just a theory based on what a few of them have sold for... Regardless, if you like the designs, of course go for it.
For example this is a fake fantasybox , yet this is not disclosed on the listing. I don't believe it for a second that the 5 people who payed 120$ + tax for this knew what they were getting. They probably thought it was the same as the original which has been selling for ~300-400$ and thought they found a bargain. A lot of their ebay sellers marketed these as "extremely rare" for years and have just recently started adding the word "custom" (likely after a legal issue). Some still don't disclose this.
Happy to continue this under the fake steelbooks thread |
100% agree. Fantasybox are parasites and should burn in hell.
