Look Alikes

In the Citadel collecting world, sometimes that precious piece will forever remain elusive and we must be content with an uncompleted collection or a missing figure we would dearly love to have. However, some enterprising collectors happy to have a fake in their collection have commissioned sculptors to copy the original pieces.

While this is technically not recasting (its known as counterfeiting) and collectors are often open about it, a problem might occur when the model passes to another collector who unknowing sells it on believing it to be an original model. Since the originals are so scarce it is unlikely they will ever be compared side-by-side with an original.

The following models are known to have look alike models, maybe even in larger numbers than the original. You would be wise to discuss the provenance of any such models with the seller before paying a premium price for any of them just in case a look alike has accidentally been confused with the original.
