Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone on here knows of any other sites to buy custom 3.75 inch scale head casts of various characters like movie characters, game characters etc. Obviously I know of Slayer, and have recently had a look at Onyx. But I was just wondering if anyone knew of any others just for some variety?? I have seen some stuff I want to order from both of those mentioned but there is some stuff im looking for that I cant find anywhere. any help/knowledge would be much appreciated. thanks.

yeh slayer are awesome. i made an order 2 months ago that hasnt turned up though, but it clearly says on their site that due to them making the transition to going full time and moving into a premises and with the hurricane there have been delayed. plus i think i ordered in the last pre order phase and now they aim to get stuff out in 3 weeks so shouldnt have to wait as long in the future.
i dont know how they make some of those head casts but they are awesome, especially of characters where there has never been a toy made of them like brad pitt. that broken arrow toys is a great one too, their daniel craig is very very good!

I have gotten sculpts from Alyosha. They were comprable to everyone else, but the wait time was a bit long. At the time I ordered, there were some complications on his end regarding personal issues. So I understand the extended time it took. But I have also heard that communication could be better with him.

I have been waiting on an order from him since Aug of last year. Communication with him shaddy at best. Consistantly says that he has sent it out or will make a new batch. I just want a confirmation # that actually works and says that there was an attempt to mail it to my house.

The quality is there. I highly doubt I will require his services in the future.

so Alyosha is the broken arrow guy??
thats a shame because he has a perfect daniel craig head cast. but if you have been waiting over a year for an order, i think i will avoid ordering from there. i dont see what could be going on in your life that it can take a year to send a few heads??? if you are unable to do the work anymore you should say that on the site instead of allowing people to order...surely?? SURELY!!!??

The worst part is that I saw him at the last Gi Joe convention in April and he had all the parts I ordered but could not just give them to me because they might have already been sent out. I don't think they were. Then he tells me he sent them to an old address one town over and again I ask for a confirmation #. I changed my address on his cart system. I'm not an idiot and the package still should of made it's way to me.
have you contacted him again? tell him you are spreading word of his poor service and its spreading like wildfire. i was probably gonna order a few things from him but i dont think i will now.

Sllayer is good stuff and they have a forum to the website that's very friendly and people's customs there are amazing- lots of direct communication too.
with casting, it's all timing things right- these companies generally cast up big batches of parts overy couple of months or so on a basis of only what's been preordered. that means if you order just after they had their casting run, it'll take a couple of month's before they make your order. Casting is a pain for small stuff and Slayer's quality control is really good- meaning the casts dont have air bubbles or pinholes that need filling- which also means they have a lot of waste, so casting to order is just good business sense. |
