For what it's worth, I bought the Sly Rax MASK/Venom head (I forget what number it is on their site) and it's an amazing sculpt, and solid cast plastic. The picture actually didn't do the sculpt any justice.
I assume they have sculpts from different people though, so sculpt quality may vary - but the piece I got was top notch. I will be ordering from them again (I need that Mr. T head). .... |

I have over a hundred pieces of cast stuff from them and from their old store... It's up to par with almost anything Hasbro will give you, some of the newer stuff is even better!

You need to know one thing when you order: These are not industrial grade plastics, they are close, but they are chemicals and liquid resin, not plastic granules melted and shot into a mold. The processes are two different types of toy making with similar, but not exact results.
For what they are comprised of i think the sculpts are more detailed than anything Hasbro puts out. Some of the torso's can be a bit flimsy as you trim flash off of them, but they are solid once constructed with the hardware inside. The products are very well done for being a grassroots business.

I have a lot of their stuff. They're solid and worth the money. I believe they use existing torso as a base and go from there.
Here's a couple that I've finished: Both Snake Eyes heads are Tri-gate and the gray torso is as well. |

I can't tell you how many orders I've placed from them, and have never gotten a bad part. Top notch stuff all the way.
