My order FINALLY came in! After about a month of hounding the guy, it arrived today.
While the pieces are well made and fit together...the head I ordered has a square hole in it rather than a circular one, so it wouldn't fit on the torso I ordered. This isn't a major deal, because the figure I wanted to make with this, I ended up making with various MTF parts, but imagine if I hadn't. This wasn't about the parts so much as it was about making sure I got something for the money I paid five months ago. Should his turnaround time get better, maybe I'll order from him again, but as it stands right now...totally not worth the time and the amount of emails I had send. |

But he's definitely the reason that I invested in my own casting equipment. HM

I'd have to disagree here. Bubble holes and spots of thin material on most items. The hands especially and some other items i got from him were so bad, i just threw them out straight away. Worst quality of the various casters i've tried. And don't forget the ridiculous waiting time (8+ months in my case). I will never order from him again.

Unfortunately this is the norm. I give him about 2 months before I start to pester him with DMs. That leads to about another month of weekly promises. But I ultimately get my items. I've heard much worse stories. In his defense, Usually the items are pretty good.

He should be put on a “Bad Merchant” list like we have for bad ebayers.

At this point, there's a real small selection of casters I buy from and trust. AvacsLab is definitely at the top of my list. Any delays have been rare and came with a prompt explanation email. Ah man. I actually remember those days. I was surprised to notice this thread. But I remember those posts getting extremely hostile.

You are among the luckiest of the lucky few. I ordered from him a few times a few years ago, and every experience was rough. Heads were always tolerably ok. I did end up with a few that were really good, though. Still have a couple. But 90% of what I got was low, low quality, and it was a fight to even get my stuff. "Going out soon" "Unfortunate delays" "Mold problems" "Health problems" It always bugs me when a site offers a specific ship time, but then never meets it. It's really sad that years later, it's all still the same.

It's frustrating as hell, that's why I started casting a lot of my own stuff when possible. HM

I know for me, I got a torso from Angel Forge that was a little warped. The heads I ordered were amazing, though. The torso thing wasn't the end of the world as I found MTF parts for what I was trying to do that worked out much better. I would still order from Angel Forge, though.
