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

Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

Seriously guys...
The RPF staff has once again asked that we keep this on topic... About SNIKT SHOP and clearly asked that we DO NOT TALK ABOUT BANNED MEMBER GRIFTER.
Why are you bringing it back up?
Just drop it or MODS will end up shutting the thread down.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

I did actually edit my post after seeing the RPF staff post.

:thumbsup I saw that :)
I would actually just edit out the whole comment and eliminate the banned name to begin with.
It will eliminate any chance that more discussion could continue.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

the snikt shop's fb page seems to be down. probably temporary, but one can hope.

Who knows whats going on.:confused
Maybe its karma or the authorities have finally caught up with him.
Wishful thinking.
Guys like him will always be around.:thumbsdown

But when he does rear his head again:

Here is my top 3 reason the excuse he will give for his absence. (cue sarcastic music.)

Number 3.
He decided to take some time off and perform humanitarian work across the world.

Number 2.
Marvel studio called and wanted his help with some movie props.

And the number 1 reason.
Ben Bernanke of the Federal reserve called and wanted his help.
Ben said " anyone who can mod a $10 Disguise costume claws and sell it for $150 needs to be on his economic team.

:lol
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

Looks like he took down all marvel stuff from his etsy store. Problem is he has two. One with just the claws listed.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

From JIM LOGAN's FB page:

WHERE DID THE SNIKT SHOP GO?

Well...I was banned from doing anything on FB for 72 hours outside of sending and receiving messages, here I am.

The haters..............they poke, they will not rest until they get what they want, when they don't even know what it is. Some kind of moment of satisfaction in trying to bring someone else down? because you can't bring yourself up? I dunno, we could go on all day about how "haters gunna hate" and all that. In this case they have taken the time to poke in the right place I suppose. Do you want me dead? To lose my hair? what? Really, I don't know what they would do with out me....maybe, DO something I hope.

Much like my Etsy and Storenvy, The Snikt Shop page has been taken down by Facebook after a report from .....a large company's lawyer. I don't think this lawyer guy has any idea what the "cosplay community" is or how/where everyone gets their stuff made, but if we are going to split hairs, then - Yes, Snikt Shop is probably violating some sort of copyright or likeness deal....WE ALL ARE.

As I tried to explain, us small time prop makers are part of a big machine. The cosplay community is a corner stone of the fan base. People expressing their love for characters in an extraordinary way. Unfortunately, not everyone has the skills, time, talents, or whatever to make their own items all of the time - but everyone is allowed to be a fan, and to express that however they desire. Myself and other artists are here to fill in that gap.

The gears were already in motion before I got to say a word, but I await response to my letter to try and smooth the situation over or at least come to an understanding. I do hope that we can settle and move on from this issue. If we can not come to a solution, I fear that the entire community is vulnerable. I am trying to keep a lid on it for now, but believe me....if this gets ugly, it gets ugly for ALL OF US. If it does, I will make sure that those responsible are pointed out and held accountable, not by me, not by the law, but by their peers.

It has also been suggested that this is an elaborate hoax, with someone posing as the lawyer. This would not surprise me as I was able to find all of the required information through a simple google search. When I requested a phone number and mailing address so that there can be formal communication rather than E-Mail, as well as request for a formal/letterhead notice in my own mail box, I have gotten no response. However, I will treat this as a legitimate claim until otherwise has been proven though, like I said in a court room...they would probably win, not arguing that.

One of the original images that was reported was simply a picture of myself in a Deadpool mask. I suggested that this man do a google search for "deadpool mask" and see what he finds.....do you see where this is going? We know why I was singled out or how I was brought to their attention, but do you think they are going to stop with me?

Is this some kind of victory for someone? I am sure those responsible for this mess are smiling, but your hate and attacks not going to hurt anyone, just EVERYONE - including yourselves. You have opened a black hole, ANYONE making props, prints, art, based on someone else's characters is now in jeopordy.

I am sure some people are sitting there enjoying this..and we all know why. To those people I want you to remember - read it real slow - No matter what you say, or even do... no one on this earth can take away my skills or talents. I will always create things and chances are I will always be making things for others. My experience, skills, and talents will always carry me through, here, there, or anywhere....you cannot stop me from simply - DOING.

The simple fact that you have to sink to this kind of level to make yourself feel better is the only point I need to make....RISKING THE ENTIRE community and fandom. You have attacked me on the WRONG issue. Even though those responsible are NOT even snikt shop customers.....You can have a problem with my work, my "customer service", my pretty face...whatever! This attack is on the very existence of cosplay and those who create items for the cosplay community. If anything, if this goes down... the only thing you have done is made me the martyr, the face, and as usual helping me get more people looking in my direction.

Anyways, until I receive a suitable response or have a plan of action if any with my own lawyer, or where this is going - the Snikt Shop page will remain deactivated.

Now get on it, copy and paste this and talk about how I am making myself out to be the victim and whining on FB.....better get it out before you have made EVERYONE the victim.

As usual, this will just push me harder.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

So we can all agree that he will "sing like a bird" to the IP lawyer if he goes down :lol
He will try to bring down the entire hobby, cause if he can't do it, nobody should be allowed.
Reminds me of the kid that said, "if I can't play, I'm taking the ball home so no one can play".

At least he still has... What was it he said...
Oh, "his pretty face". :lol
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

That's a thing of beauty. :lol
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

This is karma at its finest. I love the parts where he talks about how we've threatened the community, like he gives two s**** about the rest of us. If he cared about the prop community then he would not he recasting and overcharging people. Just another ploy to not look like a scam artist.

Also, real smart of him to clearly state on the internet that he will NOT stop making props and selling them, regardless of the outcome. I really hope whatever company that's after him reads that. And I agree, he will try to take every known prop maker down with him.

I hope this scares him straight if anything. But I doubt it.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

Zero chance. It's all bluster for the consumption of his clueless followers.

He has an out or two in his wording, but for sure, he's trying to say "I'll still sell you stuff" to customers and "I'm complying with the C&D" to the lawyers, at the same time. Hopefully they will take him apart.

Not to mention the part where he tells them to contact him at his email address about current orders and for new orders.
Not only did he say he will continue in the future no matter what the outcome, but that he is basically ignoring their C&D right now.
But hey... He sent them a letter!! He said he is hoping that "will smooth things over" :lol

I hope he realized there is a BIG difference in what he does as opposed to the whole costume community.
These companies tolerate costumers creating costumes and maybe offering a few up for sale...
But he MADE A BUSINESS, and an Internet presence SELLING MARVEL IP VIOLATIONS.
Sell one or two Wolverine claws a year, that's one thing, but pump them out on an assembly line....
You created a business.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

The comments on his FB rant are humorous:


"Actually, I believe copyright law requires a certain amount be made per item before it can be legally stopped. I may be wrong, but this seems like bull****. But I have your back, man."

--- like what $100+ on each claw set?

"I read your post. I think your priority is to find out if the "lawyer" is a real one or not. If he is not, find out who's behind that hoax and make it known. If he is, fight, with the support of your fans.
And if anything bad happens to the Snikt Shop, you can count on me to make it go public in comics related medias in France (I'm a journalist).
+ you seemed to have good relationships with some Marvel dudes, maybe they can help ?
Good luck."

Okay... So Jim is threatening that bringing this to light will ruin costuming for everyone?
And his follower is now saying if he gets shut down by Marvel, that he will spread the word because he is a journalist?
That is smart... Call out Marvel for protecting their IP. Put it in print and realize that you are not making Snikt look like a Martyr, you are just poking the bear and YOU AND YOUR CRONIES are the ones doing damage to the community. Make the violation public... It's not like you will shame Marvel into backing down.

And the part about: thinking relationships at Marvel will help him out :lol
I know Art Directors at Disney and am friends with the Director of Tangled...
Doesn't mean I can rip off DISNEY IP and they can smooth it over for me. They sure as heck won't call me up and say, "don't worry dude, we got your back!" :lol
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

I doubt he's dealing with a "fake" lawyer, but I'm wondering what will happen to the props and costumes people paid for when he's shut down for good. I know he says he'll keep making them regardless of the outcome, but I doubt this will happen, and I'm pretty certain nobody's getting a refund.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

Sniktshop and his many aka has not been truthful before and i do have some doubts wether this whole c&d issue is real or not.
It could be a ploy for sniktshop to not fullfill his obligations to his customers or to gather sympanthy or etc...

If it is true, it sounds like something a scammed or disgruntal customer would do.

The cosplay / prop communities are not endangered by this c&d to sniktshop, but will be if
he starts indiscriminately pointing fingers and naming names.
If Sniktshop does go through with this, then he will not be a martyr but an outcast.

The tight knitted cosplay community will no be pleased with sniktshop trying to set fire to their world.
I doubt he will be invited , welcomed or asked to host any cosplay activities or conventions

Actually, I think he may follow through now more than ever.
Shutting his business down takes away two things...
1. Income
2. A platform to generate more orders

Without that platform to get income to live off of, I bet he needs these orders to be completed so he can improve his rep via word of mouth. He needs happy customers to order more or to recommend him under the radar. If he burns every bridge past and present, his future in the hobby is over.
In the past, he just scammed people and them used his online presence and shop to entice people to place orders, thus sucking in new blood to drain.
But now he cannot do that as the public bolstering of his work will only paint a bigger target on his back.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

But if he fills the orders once the shop is gone (even if he's trying to make good), won't Marvel continue to come down on him for violations? I mean, any creation of Marvel products would violate the injunction.

It also seems he's unaware that many suit and prop makers have been shut down by copyright holders in the past; this is certainly not the first instance, and it's often the scam-artists that get targeted (not always, of course).

Also, his statement for formal communication between himself and the lawyer seems confusing; the lawyer for the company just has to shut him down, not explain or discuss the violations in detail with him.
 
Re: Another recaster, and i think this time, I'm done..

I'd have to guess they'd be more likely to call you up and say "you dumbarse! What are you doing?! You're making me look bad to my bosses!!!". Guy's on another planet. :lol

Tell your mate "nice job" for me re Tangled, eh? Good fun, enjoyed it.
