Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.

Ok, I have 2 delivered, one in transit to Australia, one on the bench for a paint job, and the molds being prepped for one more.
I'll go ahead and make 2 more kits or one more finished head. Here's some pics from the last head pulled:

If you're interested I'd ask for extra padded shipping. When my head arrived in germany it was simply wrapped in paper - no padding at all. The jaw was broken off. Swanpdonkey didn't reply or excuse. The head is nice though.

Was this a raw cast or finished head? If this was a finished head then this is a MAJOR deal since there is a ton of work involved in securing the jaw to the head. All the heads are jam packed with packing paper until nothing moves, eliminating any chance of breakage. Ive tossed them down our stairs just to make sure they would survive.

If this was a raw cast, the jaw is SUPPOSED to be separate from the head, this is a kit (even if its just two pieces.

WHen was I contacted by you about a broken jaw? If you contacted me and I didnt respond, please dig up the messages so I (and all of us) can confirm this. I take any complaint seriously and certainly wouldnt blow off something like this.

Thanks,
Marty

Edit: I found our conversation and you didnt mention anything about damage, or inadequate packaging. Why would you post this?

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.

Because I send you a pm regardiong this issue and you never replied :-/ I don't have the pm no more as it's over a year old I think. You glued the lower jaw to the foam and wrapped the head in brown packing paper - the jaw broke off during shipping. As I said, the head is nice, you just should take care that it'll arrive safe.

The last PM I have from you is from 10/13/11 and reads:

"The address is fine, that's where I live and I just got a parcel from the states yesterday. Could you please pm me the tracking number of the 2nd try?"

I remember this one in particular because it was sent back to me, and I had to resend it.
If the jaw broke off, thats a legit complaint and you should raise hell about it. Did you get some pics of this? Ive never had anything break during shipping, or atleast nothing reported as such.
Please understand Im not trying to be a jerk about this, or calling you a liar, I just honestly do not have any PMs from you regarding this problem. But I will take your advice and pay special attention to the packaging.

Lol, no I don't think you're calling me a liar. I do not want to derail your sale thread, just a hint to avoid problems like this in the future. I can send you pics if you want to but I don't think it's necessary as I do not want a refund or anything.
The problem was that the jaw isn't closed, it's open and the glue/foam just broke apart as the stress on the lower jaw was too high. Foam between the jaws/around the head area would have been better.

But to make it clear: it's a great head, very nice paintjob - you'll be happy with yours

Ah, well thanks, im really glad you were happy with the head. I'll take your advice and beef up the jaw attachment on the one on the bench right now, as well as any in the future. Any feedback is welcome

To all reading this thread, if you ever have a similar issue, contact me either privately or publicly (in an open thread) and we will resolve any issue. I have no problem completely replacing a head or giving a full refund if you are not satisfied.

Re: FULL SIZE Alien Warrior head.

Class act, Marty. :thumbsup

For the record, very happy with my head. Perfectly well packed for a kit version and made it to Australia without trouble. For a painted buildup, I guess foam between the jaws would help. But I've had Weta props arrive with damage, so you just never know.

Anything left? I have a friend who may be interested in a kit.
