Look in the main collecting groups I can't remember where I saw them.

There is a video so yeah it's legit, at least the prototype is. Whether you're going to get it (if you even can get it) is another story but not a photoshop.

Look guys, there are so many red flags about this being a scam. Like the one where someone takes photos from a unused prototype or private commision and makes them his.
From what I'm seeing I would heavily advice against buying this, at least at this moment until this being clarified, if any.
I would also ask the admins to keep this thread open as a warning to fellow collectors

I won't say that I have 100% confidence in this project, but I have done some research on the person in charge and their other endeavors in the statue community, and I am satisfied enough put some trust in them. And it will supposedly be delivered in the 4th quarter of this year, which is within PayPal's 180 day protection policy.
This is a great bust, and who knows if or when a licensed studio will get RDJ's likeness rights. Personally, I took the chance and gave a deposit for one. On the off chance this is a scam, I'll just ask PayPal for a refund.

I've seen a few people trying to push this for sale, but never saw any details about it other than how much money they want for it.
Is this a recast of the QS bust?
Do you just get the RDJ head?
What's the ES?
What kind of silicone is it?
What happens if they take longer than the PP 180 protection policy?
What happens if it comes damaged?
What happens if it deteriorates from cheap materials?
For a $4k piece and over a $1k deposit, I'm not willing to take the chance on this. I've never even heard of this Hannah Li in the community before, what has she done?

I reached out to someone selling it and realized he'd only been in the group for a month and had no other posts and it wigged me out. Can't make myself pull the trigger. If this turns out not to be a scam and people get this bust at the same quality in hand I'm going to be kicking myself.
For now I'll be forever holding out hope for one from a licensed company.

Things I wonder about:
Why doesn't Michael W want to reveal his last name?
Why can't we see production pieces of his prior work so we can see what we can expect?
Why did the price change?
Why did the ES change?
