Real Or Fake Display Bobs And Grenades- Does It Matter?

Curious what the sentiment is with respect to some items. There are recast Bob heads, Shadow Bobs and have seen other threads discussing fake sales award/ grenade bombs.

I see the interest in the grenade as a display piece but in reality its a sales award that someone else earned and you can't use it to display glasses. So I wouldn't care if I had one that was a recast if it was done right. There is no way that I would pay thousands of dollars for one. But $150 -ish for a repop one? Maybe. Would you care if your sales award was a fake one or would you just appreciate the piece for what it is?

More to the point, for a Shadow Bob or Bob, to me it's more of a merchandising piece for glasses like a stand. As long as the quality was there- nice finish and nice detail- I wouldn't care if I had a copy. It's a stand that I display eyewear on. I think a reasonable price for replica Bobs of about $150-ish would be acceptable.

I'm not going into manufacturing or anything!!!

I'm pretty sure that my Bob is a replica and I'm OK with that. I'm curious though how others feel? If a recast merchandising piece were priced reasonably and represented as a replica would you care? If you didn't have a Shadow Bob, Bob or Grenade award and you could purchase one for $150-ish would you?
Real or fake Oakley sunglasses and x-metals? Does that matter?
 
I have a bob head and was told by seller it was a replica. I paid a decent price for it and I like it better than an original. It was also about half the price of a real one. It is a very cool piece and I have no regrets. I have my newly aquired Xmetal MJ Mars on him.
 
I think any one would buy anything at a reasonable price. A lot of oakley's products are priced really high but even then people buy them for the name and quality. If you were only displaying something for your personal satisfaction then I don't think it would matter if you got a replica for a decent price. The chance that you can get an original is pretty slim so a replica would do well for me.
