А что не так? Ну соберет покупатель эту одежду и аксессы, в чем сложность?
Нравится некоторым большое количество свистоперделок). Мне лично без разницы, но если статуя нравится и в ней кучу элементов, то из-за этого ее не брать? Или вопрос был о неадекватном ценообразовании.

Соглашусь.
Это наоборот очень даже прикольно собрать и одеть Вейдерыча самому.

Лицензоры сказали "АТУ!"
Сайды повинуются.

We’re contacting you today about the potential sale of unlicensed custom artwork and sculptures (customs) through your platform.
Unlicensed customs are statues, portraits, figures, accessories or 2D works of art produced without a license agreement between the creator / artist and the legal entity which owns the intellectual rights.

Historically, unlicensed customs were limited to singularly produced items, focused on individual collectors looking to satisfy unique requests for their personal collections. We have entered an age in which the practice has now grown into full-fledged illegal enterprises, producing these unlicensed items in medium quantities and mass production. Some examples are:

- Deadpool statue produced without permission from MARVEL
- Sixth scale sculpted portrait of an actor without permission from that actor or rights holder of the character the actor is portraying.
- Unlicensed Superman swappable portrait for a licensed statue without permission from DC Comics.

As Sideshow continues to work with license holders to combat this illegal practice, we are taking a critical look at our advertising associates and their own practices on curbing unlicensed customs. We believe it is crucial not only to be supportive of our advertising affiliates, but to also receive reciprocal support in that relationship.

To our great disappointment, some of our current affiliates have openly allowed discussions of unlicensed customs, hosted picture galleries of unlicensedcustoms and encouraged or facilitated the sale of these items through their Facebook groups / pages, forums, private messaging and other methods.

Therefore, Sideshow has made the critical decision that beginning on June 9th, any affiliate who continues this practice will have their accounts terminated, and all commissions, pending or owed, canceled.

To help you understand what we consider a violation of our affiliate agreement, here are some activities we consider illegal. Please note, this list is not complete and serves only to help clarify the issue:

- Renderings, both 2D and 3D, of licensed entities that could be construed as available for sale via public post or private message.
- Posts/mentions on your associated outlets to solicit unlicensed customs.
- Participation by your affiliate accounts, or individuals associated with your account, in the discussion of customs.
- Allowing known unlicensed custom artists, manufacturers or entities to post freely on your forum, social feeds, groups, etc.
- Posting imagery or videos of custom pieces.

As a valued member of our community, we look forward to a long advertising relationship with you and we greatly appreciate your help and cooperation in this matter.

If you have questions or concerns about our actions related to unlicensed customs, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Sincerely,
Jennifer

Упыри из сайдшоу вообще потеряли берега...

Dearest Raddtitan members.....

Due to the recent email sent to all Sideshow Affiliates we have been put in a position where an important decision must be made!

Whilst we strongly agree with sideshow collectibles' stand on the custom market getting out of control, we cannot agree with the time scaled response of 72hrs to cease sharing any custom piece (past or present) across all RaddTitan social media platforms. Also the blatant blackmail threat of removal of affiliates that don't comply with these demands and the convenient announcement of sideshows intent to retain the monies ($7k) previously earned by RaddTitan from years of promotion and sales on this group has led us to the following decision.

RaddTitan have been a committed Sideshow affiliate for a number of years and in that time we have made over $500,000 in sales for Sideshow Collectibles.

They currently have over $7k in commission from previous sales that will be withheld from us if we show, share, review or even talk about any custom project past or present!!

You should know by now that ultimatums are badly received here and although we have been openly discussing customs going crazy for over 4 months (via our weekly chat), with new businesses now popping up selling them openly, making huge profits and high edition size numbers, the fact we are being told we can't discuss it or say it's good, bad or indifferent is purely control of our social media in our eyes!!

We agree with Sideshow that Customs should be small runs to fill voids of characters not being made. Not to be someone's business and full time income. However, we also feel that;

- With the recent Sideshow action of cutting the affiliates link value by 50% (5%-2.5%)

- Followed by the threat that "now we will loose all our past affiliate sales if we do not comply"

What does this mean for the future if we agree to this?

1) Will they stop our affiliate sales if we share any companies' that are selling out of their regions?

2) If we do not take XM resellers off of our sales pages will Sideshow again threaten to remove our affiliate links?

3) Where does this end?

4) What must not be forgotten is that there a benefit to showcasing custom projects and artists e.g.

Did Sideshow not just employ Daniel Bel?

Wasn't that due to his work being shared all over social media, with his custom Sentry and custom Magneto winning ZBrush awards?

I am sure his earlier great work with XM Studios may have helped too.

As mentioned above we have got Sideshow over $500k in sales and if they choose not to honour the remaining $7k commission from those sales it is very disappointing. But RaddTitan is a group for people to share their ideas and their projects with passion.

So in short......

We will not be stopping any posts of any projects of artists.

We do not allow direct sales of customs on our group and this will continue.

Raddtitan's ethos of friendship, sharing and community will continue to be the backbone of our web page, facebook group's and YouTube channel!

We wish you all a happy collecting journey!!

Geo and Alex!

А если не сложно, можно это все перевести на русский или рассказать о чем идет речь?

Поддерживаю.

[a.d.]

Wesker, Сайды начали борьбу с кастомами и фигурками/статуями, которые продаются без лицензий. они предложили всем крупным сообществам запретить публиковать какую-либо информацию о таких вещах. в ином случае грозят баном в программе "Sideshow Affiliates" (через реферные ссылки получаешь процент с покупки перешедшего если я ничего не путаю). у РедТитанов вон 7к$ подвисли..

но крупные сообщества насколько я понимаю послали Сайдов в *опу

[Wesker]

a.d., спасибо.
Интересная ситуация.

[a.d.]

Wesker, да глупая ситуация. крупные сообщества самодостаточны, администрация там играет скорее роль поддержки, вряд ли кто-то решит рубить сук, на котором сидит. а на чём ещё монетизироваться я думаю, что придумают.
