Scammer , recaster warning : latest alias Loganprops, recent alias Snikt Shop

Yeah, we've pretty much established that he's a good prop maker, but only when there's something in it for him. If it's for a well-known cosplayer, he knows they will tell everyone where they got the costume/items from, so he will get a ton of money for orders from the 'lesser people' and then fail to make/send them, claiming he doesn't know you or that you angered him and he doesn't have to fulfill your order.


-The Truth is Out There-
 
Hmmm...

Well I won't be a well known cosplayer anytime during my lifetime. I am however a huge nerd who loves movies and comics. I would have been crushed if I had wasted $300 on something like this. Not that I'm poor per se .... but I certainly don't have an extra $300 to set on fire or anything. lol
 
Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that I've been scammed by Jim too. $1300 for three costumes nearly 12 months ago with little communication. He's basicly told me to f#^k off and leave him alone and I'll never get my costumes or money back. If I lived in the US I would go to his residence and do something about it. The worst thing is that these costumes were for someone else so now I'm out of pocket twice.

Really pissed off!

So, what was the response?
Was it:
1) i didn't get your msg?
2) i'm still working on it?
3) it was the fake "Jim Logan, Loganprops" who took you $?
$) its in the mail?

Don't believe anything he says and file a report to the authority for fraud.
Contact your bank and explain your situation. You still might get some $ back. Be persistence.
Good luck.
 
Hey Racer, ive been in contact with Adorkables just to warn him about Jim and he is not in partnership with him. He would like u to remove your post if possible.

And yes, hes apparently still working on it.
 
I ordered a Captain America helmet kit from Jim before reading this thread... I was led to him by the Bat In the Sun videos, and didn't even think to question.

Once I was directed to this link, I contacted him about timelines. I didn't ask for a refund, but did say that I'd file a paypal dispute if I didn't have the helmet in 1 week. There were some USPS related delays (legit... I was following the tracking site as the box bounced all over MA before finally landing on my porch), but he fulfilled his obligation as promised. There were even a few extra resin greeblies in the box... a Shield logo, a Black widow buckle, and a couple of others.

Like most home cast kits it needed some cleanup, but about an hour later I had the helmet ready for primer.

It's unfortunate that he's got such a bad history. He seems to do good work when he's on the job. It sucks that so many people have gotten burned :(
 
He keeps those helmets on hand for quick turn around orders. Its the custom orders that people are getting burned on.


Oh and enjoy your helmet, but don't be surprised when you go to the toy dept and look at the toy half helmet and realize where your helmet came from.

Oh, I got that right away since I have that same toy helmet at home.

The whole reason I was getting it was to "play captains" with my daughter, who is a huge Cap fan. As soon as I got the kit in the mail I recognized the oddly shaped A from the toy.
 
Stormtrooperguy,
I'm glad you got your stuff.
As usual, it took the threat of fileing
a paypal dispute to have results.
So,
did he let you know that the captain America helmet in the video was
was made by Reevzfx?

He didn't need to -- I know Shawn and knew he had done that part. I had originally tracked down Logan to ask about the armor, but then saw that he also did helmets and figured I'd get one of those to start.
 
Man, I've been going through a similar thing with him for about 8 months. I ordered a set of Cap. armor that I saw on the Bat in the Sun vid. Figured he would be good if they used him. Wish I would have saw this stuff before I paid for it!

You might still get your $ back.
I know people who contacted their bank and credit co. ,
explained their situation and was refunded $ even months later.
Be persistence and elevate to a manager / supervisor if needed.
Hopefully you might get something back.

And if he contacts you after seeing your post,
i would be very hesitant to believe anything he says.
If his reply was the typical "i'm still working on it", perhaps you should ask for
half of your deposit back as a good will gesture on his part.
 
I don't usually get involved in threads or subject matter like this because really it has nothing to do with me personally...but, this is a rather serious matter. I know Aaron from Bat in the Sun very well and had the opportunity to sit down with him while in Anaheim and explained this all to him. He was genuinely surprised to hear of this and is now fully aware of everything.

For what it's worth, I couldn't not ignore this.

I don't think there's any chance of Aaron getting screwed over because he's a 'big fish'. It's the unknowns that David is screwing over.
 
Thank you Davidyr1 for your support.

I agree. It is a good chance that "loganprops" will not screw over the more well known customers.

But, just because you are a popular customer and received your stuff, does not mean that you should ignore all the
fraud and illegal activities of your supply partner.

Its the air of legitimacy, being associated with Bats in the Sun, that has brought more victims to "Loganprops..."

Being involved with a criminal, will eventually taint your own personal branding and reputation.
 
shame people have to recast work and pass it off as their own, especially if they are a decent propmaker to begin with....why copy anothers work when you can produce good quality stuff yourself ??

Maybe so but as I mentioned above Aaron had no idea of what David was up to. Now he does, and will be able to make a more informed decision on future dealings and being associated to him - or not.

Like I said...for what it's worth.

I am relatively new to these boards, well Ive been a lurker for most of the time and finally decided to make an account.

Anyhoo

I have read this thread....all 40 pages of it and wow. I agree that people need to be warned before going to people like this and not blindly go in like some of his supporters keep pushing. Customers SHOULD know what they are getting themselves into and that there is a chance that they can get shafted by a seller of goods. Especially when you are talking a lot of money, we all are not rich and I know many of us cant just burn a couple hundred and just turn the other cheek. Its just like when most of us bid on items on Ebay, whats the first thing most people look at? I know I look at the seller's rating. I want to know if the seller is good on his or her word or if there is a chance the seller has shady practices.

It seems like this propmaker thrives on places where HE can control the information (such as Facebook), places where he can ignore and hide any negative feedback. That, right there is one reason I will not purchase from this individual. I dont care his skill, if he is willing to brush the negative under the rug and hide it, then I, for one, do not want to deal with him. If he is as passionate in propmaking as he claims, then why hasnt he come to defend himself? All I saw were others comming to his 'aide' but the propmaker himself did not even try to defend himself against the accusations. Oh and no, claiming the other person is a liar doesnt count. If a customer was complaining that he was taking their money and not providing product and he claims otherwise...where is the proof? Show us the shipping receipts, show us proof to the contrary. Sadly, he has done none of that here. As for the recasting is concerned, his so called 'proof' is very, very weak. I may not be a master prop maker but even I cant see how he went from Home Depot bucket and light cover to suddenly a finished product with nothing in between. Not to mention he claims to do that for every bucket he sells? I dont buy it, try harder next time.

In the end, the Customer needs to be informed with who they are dealing with, the good AND the bad.
