It was a manifestation of the Outer Path's "Will" ability. The rods implant the will of someone into the target and from their the Rinnegan's power is channeled from the original user. They are nothing but fake or mirrors of the users Rinnegan. This was shown with Pein, as each Pein path had a singular Path as their ability, channeled from Nagato's real Rinnegan and chakra.
One technique of the Rinnegan is to control dead bodies and share vision between them. The different path's didn't have physical Rinnegans, but they're eyes changed into them due to the control.
Just like when the Kyuubi's eyes changed into Sharingans when Obito controlled him.
The Jinchuurichi korpses however, did get a physical Sharingan each from Obito
The fakes are linked to the original 6 paths of pain = nagoto ... former jinjuriki = obito, but obitos rinnegan is acutely one of madaras original eyesI never understood how Nagato and Obito were able to give dead people multiple Rinnegan's.

I know they couldn't really use its full power but its still the Rinnegan!
Anyone know?
Nagato wasn't the 6 paths, he is the 7 paths of pain... able to control life & deathThe Rinnegan's weren't physical copies or anything, Nagato was the 6 paths of pain. Those 12 eyes were actually just his own two eyes, if that makes any sense to you.

and everyone here talking about control being the reason for the fake rinnegans in edotesei are wrong other than in obitos case. edo nagato and edo madara both had fake rinnegans with seemingly most of the abilities of rinnegan and the person controlling them didnt have a rinnegan or even a sharingan. the only logical explanation for this is that they had them while they were alive so edo tensei made them. even though kabuto made madara young i doubt he had the power to make a fake rinnegan, madara probably had that before kabuto made him young, especially since kabuto took madara using rinnegan on the battlefield for the first time as meaning his and oros hypothesis is correct, if he had given madara the rinnegan then he wouldve already known that.What? Nagato is ALL the paths of pain, which is why they all had his eyes.
