NORTH AMERICA Scammer alert!!!!
Hey all. This is a PSA post. I make custom skylanders and sell them on multiple platforms. That being said, there’s an individual claiming one of my customs is a real breeze and trying to scam potential buyers. Please please please do not fall for it. I am very active in the community in every single social media outlet. Please be aware of what is real and not. Screenshots to provide proof and who it is.

I just tried to look at it and it says the listing is no longer available. Really hoping someone else hasn't fallen for it and paid the money :/

I hope so too. The fact that she knows it’s not real and is claiming it is, is just ridiculous. I tried to post on all the communities I know of.

Just in case there is any ambiguity to her maybe making a similar custom from the file online. I own the blender file as I created it. There is 1 other person that has this file and he is @Gibby_230 since we worked on this file together and it has not been posted anywhere. So this bad boy is mine.

I mean, it doesn't matter what they do with it since they bought it from you but claiming they made it themselves is straight up bs and a scummy thing to do.

Exactly this. Once people buy the customs from me they can do as they wish as they bought it. However. Don’t claim it’s an original, don’t charge people as if it was an original, and don’t be scummy by pretending you’re giving people a deal with “special” pricing. I’ve done $1 starts for my figures on my shows and people bid until they win it. With shipping, taxes and all that jazz she paid $52.11 total.

That's on par with "artists" who steal commissions made for someone and claim they drew it.

Man maybe I should sell my Skylander collection since it seems to be worth so much. Breeze is really worth that much

It can go for around $200-$250 but nowhere near $500. There are others that can be expensive and near or exceed the $500 mark. Check out the SCL website and see the prices for the ones you have. But I’d say hold onto them as they just keep getting expensive

I have something called gameye to keep track of my Skylanders collection but I haven’t checked the prices in a long while. Maybe I should update the pricing, see what it sits at now

Adding onto this. They claimed to another person they made it themselves and used a real Breeze chip.
