I have not seen anything officially but I suspect they will have to do something
like they did for the EXOFORCE tiles with serial numbers. They listed them as
a single part even though they have unique numbers and you either have to show
your own photo or list the details in the description. I don't see another
way. As cool as these custom figs can be it will be ripe with abuse and counterfeits
I think. I already see on other sites many rare official parts being reproduced
poorly using it and then sold as the official versions. TONS of rare clone trooper
torsos popping up at auction already. Part of me thinks maybe they shouldn't
list them at all because the potential for fan made things that get into copywrite
areas could also be an issue.

Our policy is that we do not accept them into the catalog. Easy peasy.

That would be a very short sighted approach since if the printing is being carried
out by Lego themselves then there should be no reason not to embrace them by
listing as a custom Item.
Any suspicious print designs can be verified checked with what is officially
available on the Lego site. Unofficial print designs are likely to be centered
around attempting to replicate designs from popular characters/themes and so
shouldn't be hard to spot anyway!

The sheer number of variations for these minifigures is probably the reason they
are not included in the catalog. There are over 500,000 possible variations in
this program - before you factor in the custom labels that can be printed on
the torso.
Not sure about selling them as a custom item. Who would verify that they were
officially produced by Lego?

I've already clearly stated that they would need to be listed as custom items

The same way we prove or verify all parts on Bricklink are officially produced
by Lego....
WITH DIFFICULTY!
The site relies on its community to report what they consider to be suspicious/counterfeit
usually from inspection of goods upon receipt or other suspicious activities.
A handful of custom printed Torsos with basic text and/or a decal design from
a limited selection of known options to be found on the Lego site are unlikely
to be counterfeit worthy!
However eyebrows may start to be raised if a seller starts listing custom printed
torsos with the superman Logo on the front!

I didn't say anything about not allowing them to be sold as custom items.
I said they will not be accepted into the catalog. That is two very different
things.

It will be interesting to see how often people try to add them to the catalogue,
or if any get listed under current listings especially where they have official
prints.
For example, someone could have the "apples" torso printed in green on
the front of the torso and blue on the reverse and then try to list this as a
rare misprint as the back colour is incorrect.
Or have "LEGO STORE 2012 City Name" printed on the back and claim it
is a rare giveaway, or try and replicate existing store torsos.

This link isn't working for me, which is really too bad because I was looking
forward to this feature.

It didn't for me either, until I removed the two random ";" at the
end of the link to the page. Maybe that will work for you

Just wondering, does anyone know if there's a way to change the color of
the arms of the custom figures?
Anyone else having a problem not being able to scroll down all the way on the
pop-up and see all the parts and pieces (last line).
I click on say the heads to choose, and I scroll down, but it's the last
line of heads or parts I cannot see. I try to scroll on the side to move the
whole page and the pop-up of the heads or parts disappears. I cant figure out
how to see the last line.
