Sorry but I couldn't find another thread despite looking, although I'm sure I've seen some threads in the past that discussed a few sellers in China who have listed SSE Ardeth and Dracula lifesize busts.
I saw these on ebay:
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sideshow-Mummy-Ardeth-Bey-Silver-Screen-Statue-Bust-/230590505550?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b043e24e
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIDESHOW-Dra...800?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35aefbb790
I noticed that the seller sold a SSE Ardeth and Dracula recently and now has another one of each. Call me Sherlock Holmes but alarm bells are ringing.
My questions are:
Any ideas how you can tell if they are fake? (I'm assuming they are but they look pretty good fakes if they are)
What are Sideshow doing about this as surely this devalues the items for those that does possess them and, a few years down the line, these will have passed through a few collections and how will the fakes then be spotted?
