Default Re: Green Ekco AD65

I'm a bit perplexed how some repros are referred to as "fakes" while "The very best reproductions (are those) made by Graham Rowe, in Brisbane, Australia", seemingly, are not?

"Using moulds taken from genuine sets, the cabinets are made from a thermoset polymer, a compound of stone, plaster, resin and acrylic. The fakes can be melted, whilst Rowe's cabinets are irreversibly hardened, under heat and pressure. To date, he has made five AD65s - two onyx green, one swirled red, and two ivory - and four A22s - two red and two onyx green."

Anyway, for sure they are very nice, I'm just not so hot on the kind of 'right and wrong' innuendo introduced here. Surely they are all reproductions, aka, fakes?
