I found an auction for the GMH helmets on ebay by a user going by the name class.of.1984. Is this legitimate or is he a recaster? I've ben wanting one of those buckets for a while now but don't want to support scum and villainy.
It's a recast and it's picked up a dome distortion not present on the version made by Fettpride and those he has sold his moulds on to. I think Skyfire is the current producer.
Recaster...........he goes by that name and by slartblartifast or something like that. I think he has had some other names as well. I have never met a happy customer that bought one.
I was going to say Slartibartfast as well, more than likely. he's been banned from here a few times, first for recasting, then for sockpuppet accounts. steer clear!
Yeah slarti/1984 and whatever the other names were but always based in Canada. This particular item encapsulates one of the key issues of recasting in that there is often a noticeable reduction in quality of the thing that is copied. Presumably he no longer has access to the donor helmet to produce better copies than this. Looks like the price has gone up too.
But the fact remains he recast the helmet without permission and produces lower quality copies that mislead many people..........the simple fact that he changes his name often should be enough of a red flag.
