Don't back down, Marlene. Eventually, he's going to end up in serious trouble with the law. It's inevitable at this point.
Scammer , recaster warning : latest alias Loganprops, recent alias Snikt Shop

Hi, ilikecomicstoo,
Welcome to the board.
Great to see someone like you , one with a lot of clout and visibility,
( no offense to the many , many other victims of Winate, Sorry!)
take a stand against the scammer.
Yup,
his instant response/threat to your posting is sop( standard method of operation) for him.
I'm guessing, in a few days, you should received a poorly and hastily cobbled together , crude facsimile of the prop you ordered from him.
All in a effort to make the posting / victim go away.
Stay strong and again, thank you for your posting and your blog.

I read your story on your blog post and the FIRST sign of trouble is when he quoted you $400 to "sculpt and mold" the helmet. Not that it's any better, but anyone commissioned to sculpt and mold an entire helmet replica from scratch would charge significantly more than $400, and to me, this was obviously a quick grab to get a good chunk of change, giving you a cheaper, more "tempting" price.
He'll show up at another con, either in california or here in Florida. Last time I ran into him was at a small con at FAU, where for whatever reason, they "hired" him to run the costume contest. If I wasn't in my 501st gear I would have confronted him. However, after I left, I had heard through others that he did something which caused the con-management to throw him out of the con
Hell, next time I'll remember to bring a print out of his mug shot and ask him to autograph it for me

I saw your blog in my newsfeed and immediately shared the link. I was in the process of linking it here but someone beat me to it. Glad the info is getting out there about this guy.
So what did he say? Please share!

Looks like so many people tried to access my site at once that they gave it the Hug of Death. Trying to get it back up!
In the meantime, here's his response:
I first posted that here 5 months ago lol

What kind of chump would buy something from this guy after reading a post that he a) copies work, and b) doesn't send it after receiving payment? Come on, someone needs to go mob rules on the guy.
To avoid getting this thread pulled. I deleted the contact info I have. If you want it feel free to message me

Well since he won't be taking on any more orders from insignificant cosplayers anymore, I guess those ten people just wasted there time.

I'm amazed he still has defenders on various sites - despite the overwhelming, irrefutable evidence.
Yes, he still have people defending him.
I don't know if its because they think recasting is ok or
that the many failures to deliver on so many paid items is just old past history.
The recasting: that's spilled milk. Its done.
But, i see this whole thread as preventing new victims. That to me is primary.
So, he has defenders, great.
If they want to buy from him, fine.
But per his statement, " he will not be selling to common cosplayers",
so , unless his defenders are studios and business's buyers, then it does not seems to matter.
(of course , that is dependent on Winate keeping his word, which has not been the case)
As long someone is prevented from being a victim of Winate, i considered it good.

"common cosplayers"? wtf kind of term is that? His dumb-ass was not one ioda better than a 1/8th what I've seen here on the RPF.
His craptastic "tony stark" he wore to the club my last night working there was pathetic. He had some dude follow him around with a camera, you know, those kinds with the obnoxiously bright flood-light attached to it. He didn't even shave his beard properly

he apparently says he did some pieces for this http://instagram.com/p/u8j3BoM00G/?modal=true
Also his latest post on his newest facebook page is a real ********* one. Especially the line "If you are a Cosplayer, you are irrelevant to my work"
Apparently he is doing big time work now. Wonder if these "studios" know that he likes to recast and pass of other peoples' work as his own.
