Xan was the sculptor for Fantassin in Spain. The moulds etc were sold without his consent, and then passed through a number of other legal entities to muddy the water. Stonewall were involved in producing the figures in the UK. You might claim that Stonewall had no knowledge but as he has previous "form" - with AB, FAA etc - and is still selling battalions of figures produced from the moulds, I think that you can say the owner is a bit of a shit.
