The guy doesn't reply to emails when u ask him to see painted versions of the sculpt. But he does reply when he wants to be paid. He is quite shady IMO.
Who are you talking bout here? Ankit is doing his best and after discussing personally with the artist myself, I can see why he's having trouble as the artist's massive ego isn't easy to handle with.

Are you serious?
I think you know who I am talking about here and it is not Ankit, I was simply confirming what you were saying.
It is pity many gifted people are so hard to communicate and deal with. They all need calm representatives.

I actually think that should be a necessity.
Oh yes, I think we don't need to beat around the bush. I wouldn't call him shady, just that he's got a huge ego and basically could use some improvement on his personality and social skills. I called him out and he deleted me from his Facebook. :lol
I've dealt and communicate with a few talented individuals like Trevor, Adam, Lalla to name a few and they are all very humble, down to earth and polite just like how you'd deal with normal people. MJ is a great artist no doubt, but his personality traits could use some improvement IMO. Treating people and especially your customers like they are telemarketers are just unacceptable IMO.
Did you contact him directly too?
What do you mean you called him out?
I never bothered to add him to facebook just from the vibe I got from his emails. Someone needs to put him in his place yes this is quite a good sculpt but it is no where near as good as Adams. I mean the fact that Jokes and Bats had to resculpt the scars part of the sculpt, indicates that the sculpt is far from perfect. The eyes are worse though he has Josh Brolin eyes and they are very tiny. I just think the sculpt is a decent alternative to Hot Toys because there is obviously some resemblance to Ledger but a lot of things are obviously off with the likeness to.
If he doesn't respect his customers, I can only imagine what he must think of his colleagues! That explains his copied attempt at Rainmans Bill while trying to promote it as the best DDL likeness....:lol
I don't know for sure but I assume it was him I contacted him via email. I am pretty sure guy fawkes is just one of his aliases.
He told me not to message him any more because he doesn't like to be disturbed when he's working. That's when I told him that his personality could use improvement. :lol
I may be wrong, but I think Ankit is handling the email correspondence as well. Only way to talk to MJ is via his fb account.
Here comes the hate brigade. Funny, only crops up to stroke flames... actually not entirely unexpected.If he doesn't respect his customers, I can only imagine what he must think of his colleagues!

Thank You Mike for your support by not feeding the troll.Although personality wise Lee is wayyy ahead of MJ, I gotta say his head have more detail and realism. Though I think likeness and character wise, Rainman's is slightly better. But never did he promote his to be the best DDL, he's just offering his version to the collectors and I personally see nothing wrong with that. With more competition, that's when each of the artist find the motivation to improve and bring more to the table.
But yes, I agree that it's better than HT's 3rd or 4th attempt but still not on Adam's level.
Wow u really told him where to go!
Dam it I just spoke to Ankit on facebook you were right. Now I feel like an A.S.S :slap Well anyway in a way I guess I am still talking to MJ it's just that Ankit is the middle man to try and get the info from so I guess I still picked up some sort of vibe that MJ was hard to deal with when it came to responding to questions about paint applications.

Yeah Adam's sculpt is Ledger, whereas this is the closest thing u can get to Adams IMO because although there is some obvious resemblance to Ledger, there are obviously areas that need to be improved.
I don't blame him and personally I think he's already doing us a huge favor, dealing with the artist yet doesn't complain to us what he's going through to get us all these pics and results. I think his effort is A+ here, sadly the same can't be said bout the artist involved.
