When you said ripoff, I thought you meant not very accurate, and cheap-looking. But that looks like EXACTLY the same model! Makes you wonder...

I agree that it's identical to the EM sculpt, but you couldn't possibly fit that many cans into the Eaglemoss cube, not even tiny cans.

 

If I'm right about that, it leaves us with two possibilities:

1) The fridge is a scale-up of the same sculpt. (which seems unlikely)

2) The pictures are doctored and simply using the EM cube as source material to photoshop a fridge into. (The photos are extremely convincing - it'd have to be an excellent Photoshop job.)

I suppose Eaglemoss could have licensed the design to the folks making the refrigerator. Or did *gasp* Eaglemoss license it's cube design from the refrigerator folks?
