If you were to rip the models out of your own copy the game and get it printed for yourself, that would be fine.

If someone were to rip the models out of their copy of the game, then post it online for other people to download for free, that's borderline but probably fine.

If someone were to rip the models and then sell them to other people, that would definitely be wrong.

Man, i allways wanted a 30cm tall Official Abe Figure :D

Do you still have a link to this by any chance?

That's the right attitude to have. Thanks for the clarification :)

These are nice:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oddworld-A...item4173e05d6d

Not really my cup of tea.

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1395042950These are the three figures I planned making moulds for and producing a limited run of each. I accept they are un-official and therefore not collectable as such, however I believe they were originally commissioned by GTActive and then canceled. What do you think? Would you buy?

I'm sorry but I still won't. For the exact same reasons as the ones I previously described.

I admit, they do look nice. But again with the paint. Looks washed out.
Also the bigger Abe model doesn't look right. His body is way too big (or legs too short :P).

Proportions are off and the face looks a bit funny, in my humble opinion. I think people who are going to design figured would need the actual computer models to get it all right. 3D printing them or something.

... Does that say: "Abe's World"?

Yes. And the other plinth reads Mulluck

Abe's world and Mulluck... this just screams good research and attention to detail.

Maaaan, you can't sell these.

Not to say I could do any better myself, but those models are quite amateurish. The person who made them is talented, but they've focussed on crafting the details, and not so much on the macroscopic form of the characters (I am talking about the Abe model particularly). The Mullock model is better.

I realised some years ago that I was always wrong in the way I tackled Art, focussing on the details when drawing something, and not focussing on getting the more overall shapes and sizes of the object/person i was drawing. The overall form is always the first thing someone sees, and only on closer inspection do the details have any kind of significance. I think I learned this after studying Impressionism in A-level Art. Thinking about it, it was quite a shift in my way of thinking in how I reflect what I see, and I think the realisation induced a lot of self-doubt in my artistic ability.

Or a desperate attempt at avoiding copyright infringement :p

I'll take 300. Please start production immediately.

You are an horrible person on so many levels

why not?

Abe's World isn't a thing, neither is Mulluck. You need to work on anatomy and expression too, the paint job is okay, I think Molluck is pretty good really, but you've got his name wrong. Seems like you haven't done the necessary product research.

All of my yes on the Oddworld chess set!!!
Perhaps one day, we will all be able to get our hands on some official figs. Fingers crossed.

Molluck.Typo, my bad. Maybe remove the word World from plinth.So, you reckon a limited run of 500 each, unpainted, would sell, or not sell?

So now the base would just say: "Abe's"?

I thought Abe Lincoln might be appropriate.

Well, tools are made, plinths will have no names, pm me if you are interested. Each model will be supplied in plain grey resin, with a certificate saying "Not endorsed by Odd world Forums and Unofficial, individually numbered model "

That certification has more value than any model a person can make.

I just had another thought. It isn't just OWI's copyright that is (potentially) being breached here, but the people who made the original models that alibongo is working off.

Scathing.

You mean it's like breaching a breach? This is a fine example where a double negative does not make a positive.

But don't OWI own those models?

Nate was referring to the models alibongo showed us in his picture.

Those models were made by someone else.

Is the company that made those original models even still in business though?

Nope, I don't think so.

Bumping this thread just to let you guys know, one of those unlicensed Abe statues has just appeared on eBay UK.

The starting bid is £279.99, which is stupidly expensive. But hey, Maybe one of you lot might take an interest.

Kinda dispointed it's lacking the certificate saying "Not endorsed by Odd world Forums and Unofficial, individually numbered model".

It's still weird, and doesn't quite capture how Abe should look.

Yup. His torso is far too big.

Why is his right eye falling off.

Abe is skinny. Really Skinny. Like, you can always see his ribs. These ribs though are so big it looks like his ribs are breaking through the skin.

"very rare"

I just did a doodle of Chewbacca wearing a sombrero. It's the only one in the world!
