Ethical issues aside, I totally love this felt armory collection from MP Industries. From a design point of view, they are fantastic, much like the china guns we've previously posted.
But what I really like about the work by MP Industries is that each piece is a certified one-off which comes with a signed and stamped certification of origin. Therefore ensuring that that no model will ever be produced twice.
As they say, "Luckily a large amount of weaponry exists on the planet, so we can be sure to serve our customers with both great care and an endless stream of novelty one-off pieces."
