this is where venders lose me .
I never know if there stuff is original or not
they make game of thrones ,Spartacus ,etc etc morphs,cloths etc etc.

You need to buy from reputable vendors, and also understand that you have very, very few protections.
If someone is creating and licensing products that use someone else's copyrights and trademarks, that should send up a red flag for you.

Buying through a brokerage doesn't give you any more protections usually - not unless they are really sharp at spotting cheats. Here's a question for you:

What happens if you license a product through brokerage X, and then brokerage removes the product for copyright violation? Lets say you buy a copy of the Millenium Falcon someplace, and think that under the brokerage's license, you can make your own Star Wars movie. But then, the brokerage finds out that the vendor ripped off Disney (Lucas/etc) and never had the right to distribute the model.

Then you put out your movie, and Disney slaps you with a lawsuit. Who is at fault here?

Best regards,
