Still waiting on my stuff.
So what enterprising person wants to take his molds, refurbish them and make some heads?
If I did this I could help all the people who got shafted in this deal. It would mean some additional funding on your parts but in the end, you'd actually get your pieces!
Very strange. I saved a swampdonkey search a while back on ebay. When I click it, it takes me to chilipeppergirl_again, who is in Texas too... I emailed 'her' and she acted like she knew nothing about Marty.
My sincere appoligies. I wont bore you with the details but but my wife is suffering some pregnancy complications, so when Im not in Austin dealing with that, im rushing back to San Antonio to make up the work hours lost through this family emergency. I will get you merchandise boxed up today, and sent on Monday. Im really sorry, you've been waiting way too long at no fault of your own. I will send you the full-size Alien head head cast as well ($350 item) in hopes that it was worth the wait. That cast is the complete upper cranium, the jaw and touge meed to be cast. I'll probably send the molds and head, then follow up with the jaw and tounge shortly afterward. My wife returned yesterday (friday) in good health. I'll produce the parts and she'll ensure they make it down the road the next day to be shipped off.
If there's anything else I can do, please let me know.
Hopefully you'll be all smiles when those two big boxes arrive.
And if you need any help with the casting process, please let me know. It can be a bit tricky.
Thanks,

AH! Damn, I have your parts but not the box with the address. I remember there was a silver rectangular piece with beveled edges and 2 holes that looked like they were filled in with hot glue or something. I think this was to facilitate the molding process. I just have to pop those two holes and countersink them. Did you want them all the way through the piece as the originals were made? Its all done save for those two holes. I can pound those out today and priority them to you on Monday. The only thing I have left is the beveled edges ( an hour of work, max), then I'll vibratory polish them to eliminate all tool marks.
Sorry to panic you about those, they are literally in a safe, waiting until I could return them. Is you address the same as the one on you ebay profile? If not, please send it to martyvsmitjr@gmail.com. Ive been waiting forever to get these sent off and im sure you cant wait to get them back. Thanks, and sorry Clutch. Between my new job and pregnant wife, Ive been hella out of the loop.

Well, we've just had our second child (for real - can provide photos and everything, unlike Marty!) but I'm back on the case.
Was in touch with Marty's local PD again who asked for more details.
Did anyone see his feedback on eBay for the heads? Rabbit and Dday - you dodged a bullet dealing with that con man!
[EDIT] Anyone else get linkedin requests from him?!?
im pretty sure that its the buyer selling the molds, i find it hard to believe that swampdonkey has had a second ebay account since 07 and that it has almost perfect ratings.
so he wants people to, recast his recast to sell recasts?Yup - I agree.
In other news - Marty had sent a few of us LinkedIn requests, I believe? I contacted him via LinkedIn, with a sarcastic comment - which he took as a legit message! He wants people to use him to produce prototypes. Unreal - hope no one falls for his 'routine'...
