Some cool stuff ... (aquaman among others ... fantastic four)

I have to disagree mildly with this, Pawel.

I think at an incipient level, these darkworld3D minifigs are okay.  Some good
ideas there, but poor execution ruins a lot of them.  I also think its an
outrage to knockoff Craigo's stuff -- like the Flash and Green Lantern -- and
actually post it to the internet as one's own stuff.  Trying to sell them just
adds insult to injury.  There's just such a huge quality control difference
between these two mini-craftsmen. And it's not that I think Craigo cares if
people do knockoff his stuff, I'm sure he's flattered -- but how about some
credit where credit is due?

What are you talking about? Go look around at custom Star Wars figures. No one
says that it's someone else's design, you're inspired, but it's not like Craig
owns the rights to a Flash minifig. And it's not like he used one of craig's
methods like on Batman (bat ears on the wrists) That would have been something
to get outraged about. Just because he made a Flash or Green Lantern, and so
Craig did, it doesn't mean anything. Look who else he made, almost every comic
hero ever created! These 2 characters are pretty common. All I'm sayin is that
he owes Craig no credit, unless he were to say
"The inspiration for my customs comes from the workbench of Crago-Lego, I
highly reccommend seeing his stuff"

It's not like Craig invented the Flash or Green Lantern suit.

Just my 2 cents,
