Recaster

[Java]

Just wanted to alert those who care about this kind of thing.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...27135%26fvi%3D1

"tallerkamino" is the maker, apparently in Mexico who ships them up to Texas.

Sorry to hear about that JM... thats a damn shame. And what a crappy recast to boot, gezz. That would take a million years to make look half as good as what you ship out.

JM,

I am sorry to see this. You put a lot of effort into your sculpt, and it blows to see that piece of crap on ebay. I know how you must feel.

 

[rmschneider104]

What a piece of junk. That really stinks. For some reason that seller's username looks familiar.

This guy has recasted tons of junk. he's even gone as far as to recast an FX suit and someone elses clone armor, vader chest armor. I see he is moving on from ABS to fiberglass.

 

[SethB6025]

THAT'S what it was, he was using Mike/TD1536's picture to sell his ass-lookin' FX copy. His stuff is terrible junk.

I don't think you can go through the VERO program even though it is a custom sculpt because it still resembles the clone trooper helmet... All you can do is get on the forums and warn people of this person's lack of ethics.

Earlier in the year (March? April?) I had posted a thread in the OT section asking if anyone knew of this "TallerKamino" person. At the time, I had received several emails from him asking me prices on ALL of my hard parts, regardless of the costume that they were for (Boba, Boushh, etc.). He didn't show interest in any of my soft parts, just the *hard* parts. This immediately set off a red flag. I asked around and other prop makers hadn't heard of him but confirmed my feeling in thinking that this guy was a recaster. No one ever responded on my OT thread, though.

He kept pestering me via email, so (not wanting to sell to him and have my stuff copied) I finally responded to his request for prices with a price list that was inflated x 10. He never emailed me again. :lol

I'm sorry that this has happened to someone here. I see now that my suspicions were valid.

Does anyone know this person's name just in case he tries to contact one of us off eBay?
