Tankers, another quick question. Has anyone here bought from vortious custom accessories or does anyone know who runs the site? I saw a few recognizable names but I'd like a warm and fuzzy first. I plan on making a large purchase but want to do some research before hand. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone can post some of their work that would help as well. Thanks in advance

I have bought from Vortious several times. The owner/operator is a great guy, who will cast items from his store in virtually any color you want. The quality is good on the items, but you may have to clean up a lot of the excess "flash" material. Items I've bought that I was most impressed with: torso, head sculpts and (Wraith) armor; the torsos fit together well, and are great sculpts; the head sculpts have great skin/flesh tones; the armor was done in a flex material, so allows the figure's arms to move better than the original Hasbro version. You can look up my customs on Flickr, under the name Shakka85 to see some of the customs I've done; many have parts from VCA...
Here is a link to a figure I made using a torso from VCA: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...rosshairs.html One draw back is time; the owner operator is a one man, casting machine, and as I stated he makes the parts in the color you determine. Therefore, he runs at about 8+ weeks out from order to ship date, so you have to be planning your customs ahead of time. FYI. -Todd Shakka85

Any chance of getting a Slaughter head molded in a skin tone to match the first Ret Roadblock ( light skinned enough to pass without painting)

I've bought from Vortious several times and all have been great experiences. He has been suffering a bit of a back log but seems to be getting that straightened out. I'd say buy with confidence.
Some pics of a recent order- |

Thanks for the help guys. I'm definitely interested in some of his torsos, but I've had bad experience in the past with unmanageable peices from other sellers. Anyone have a pic of a completed mandalorian torso from him?

Have bought from him on a number of occasions and I'm happy with the service and the product. Being able to choose the colour of the cast parts is really useful.
