Warning Americo Gonzalez is a recast seller & scammer. Jason D. Egitto& I commissioned him to cast our Jason Part 7 body kit. He in turn sold a recasted kit to Jay Stone who in turn sold the recasted pieces on EBay using the same photo Americo sent me of proof of the casting process. Americo also has not turned in the 25 accessory pieces we are owed because he wants to be paid in full before he ships them out. After having told me they were shipped, he printed out a mailing label so as to generate a tracking number. This is common practice for people who need to buy more time or have no intention of delivering said accessories. It is also a tactic he had used in the past when delivering the body kit pieces that were delayed for over 6 months. Instead of delivering all together as requested, he sent everything in incraments several months late as to buy himself more time. That decision cost us over $400 extra in international shipping charges. He see's no wrong doing because 1 of his 3 excuses is that he admittedly gifted the body kit recast to a friend, which doesn't make it any less wrong. He has no right to sell another artists work gift, sale or otherwise. For the sake of transparency, I will answer any & all questions pertaining to this matter. I put my credibility in the 1/6 community up against anyone & challenge him or anyone else to tarnish it. I have detailed PayPal receipts, DM convo's (in Spanish) & photo evidence to back our claims up. The matter is being handled by PayPal. I have also asked permission from the admin to post.. Thank You.

Hmm I don't know the guy nor dealt with him before, but from what I just read on his Facebook that most of the clients are satisfied by his work as he mentioned. Anyway screw all recasters in this world.

I have worked with him for several years and I was surprised when I found out about his recasting our project. Since I blew the lid off his shenanigans, I have spoken to several other people who came forward and they had the same thing happen to them. You just have to dig a little deeper underneath his positive compliments to find the negative reviews.

No I have all the sculpts, everything except for the weedwackers. Which are already being made by someone else when I found out Americo is holding them for ransom basically. I might actually take you up on that Pete for an upcoming project. Send me a link to some of your work.
