>>8668400>Kim had already sent the following letter back to Michael before he learned of the lies and disinformation Michael had been spreading.>"The following letter from Kim to Michael has not been edited or truncated and is in its entirety:I included here the entirety of Kim Simmons' response Michael and LioConvoy, in which he explains that he couldn't support the reproductions because they were 1 to 1 exact repros designed to be 100% legitimate in appearance and feel so that nobody could tell the difference, not even toy experts, and that seemed fraudulent to him, because there are fans who collected all their lives and now a figure that they dropped a few thousand on, is essentially being counterfeited, because it's not stamped or labeled as a repro. So his whole argument was that a repro should be marked as a repro to avoid such a thing and he would have been cool with it then.
He said to Michael that the vintage action figures were clearly being bought and sold by adult collectors, not children, and the same goes for the repros and it would be like if someone made 1,000 exact duplicates of the Mona Lisa.
