MICROCHIPS prove the origin of your model.
Most Seunta models contain a microchip. The microchip is seated deep inside the model during the casting process so that the chip will be protected during nearly all customizing. These models will also come with a COA to validate the RFID number.

These microchips are passive (read only) and are not capable of GPS or tracking. They only provide an ID number when scanned at a very close range. Microchips have been used for decades by model horse artists, and the art world in general. The microchips we use are the same ones that have been safely used in pets for many years.

Microchips are typically inside of Mythic level or limited edition models. This has no effect on price. Our pricing has remained very affordable with little to no change on sale prices over the past 11+ years.

The chip comes with a card with the RFID number on it. It also comes with about 6 stickers that can be used however you like. There is no need to read the chip in the model, but scanners are affordable. Where the chip was manufactured, tracing to the batch sent to Seunta, and the ID specific to the model are all encoded within the chip.

There are many benefits to microchipping:

PRODUCTION DATE VERIFICATION
Initially the project was launched in order to verify production dates on current models. In the past we have sold seconds/bodies. Even though the models were clearly marked as bodies on every invoice, people would photograph them, and even send them straight to painters. They were sold on an honor system, but buyers would still photograph them and share them as first quality castings. We discontinued selling any seconds to the public.

Using RFID technology, we are able to show when any current castings are produced. This verifies that it is a first quality casting, with no chance of being a second. All of our first quality castings remain fully guaranteed as well.

This microchip enhances our ability to reach customers quickly should some strange event occur at a later time, with any of the materials used. Other models made from that same batch of materials, and at that same time, can easily be traced.

PROOF OF OWNERSHIP
The RFID number is recorded with the sale of the model. This is a great way to prove ownership if need be.

AUTHENTICITY
Microchipping proves the origin of your model and the date produced. The concern has always been for piece of mind for the owner, and not so much a counterfeiting issue. But the microchip does provide that piece of mind also.
