The first picture of R5 looks real because it is real. I don't think that's the same figure he's selling and has used an original R5 Tri for the listings first image (First pic shows a bubble dent and the figures in an acrylic case vs the other pictures of the figure in a star case..also, that's supposed to be a brand new replica bubble).
I've had a look at the rest of his customs and while some look ok from a thumbnail, you don't have to look too hard at a full size picture to notice they are modern replicas. It still sucks that people produce this **** though :evil:
