      Yeah!
      His heads are awesome. Ordering is easy.
      Give him some time after placing order.
      Like the rest of us, this is a hobby, so patience you must have.
      Ya gotta take your time when creating a masterpiece.

        I agree...Russ is a nice guy and he makes great looking heads. However, if you order from him; just give him a little time..this is a hobby for him and at times he's inuandated with orders. Especially, if you want him to cast and shrink a head.

          Excellent product and Quality. He does not disappoint in that dept. Worth the wait. I wouldn't order if I was in a huge hurry, but he may accept bribes.

              Agreed - I placed my first order from him not too long ago and was very pleased with the results. He's absolutely worth the wait!

It shall be life."

                His workmanship and quality is excellent.He is a decent guy to deal with but yes you need to be patient like a few months sometimes...LOL.
                Again If you don't own any of his stuff what are you waiting for...

                    Call me crazy, but I think that having to wait months for an order is beyond unacceptable. He has a website and he's taking payment for his products. That's not a hobby, that's a business, and should be treated as such. If you can't handle it, close your doors. He's not having these made in China, so what's the hold-up? YOU have to be patient? YOU have to wait until he gets around to it? I'm sorry, but that's nonsense.

                      So the option for you then is to not order from him.
                      Which in my opinion is a great loss for you.
                      You can not rush quality!!!
                      I have worked production as a supervisor for many years and professionally speaking there is a sacrifice in quality when you push for quantity.It is a fine line.I will take quality over quantity any day.
                      You are right these are not china made so they are not readily available.
                      Have you ordered from him before???
                      If not then why are you commenting here anyway???
                      I know I have and will continue to in the future.
                      In life you will find patience will get you further than impatience...
                      Just a little friendly advice...Happy holidays...

                        As a member of this forum I have every right to comment on any subject. That's none of your concern.
                        I'll tell you, I might have ordered from him, but the comments I read have convinced me otherwise. These are homemade resin heads that he says are available. Why would they take months to be sent out? He's not waiting for payment, why should you have to wait so long to get it? I can understand a few weeks, but months? There isn't that much quality in the world.

                            First off I never said Don't comment.I merely asked if you had ordered from him before.If so then your comments are clearly validated and your OPINION is justified by Experience!!!
                            So don't go getting all twisted out of shape,As personally I could care less about any comment you make.I'm here for a good time and have never bashed anybodies comments.However the question was;

                            Clearly you have not expressed a personal experience just an opinion based on comments seen here.Again the question was;

                            Thusly in my OPINION your comments are completely irrelevant in this matter sorry,just my OPINION.
                            Why should I be concerned about what you say anyways?
                            Firstly you are making a derogatory comment about a person that you have obviously from your own statements had no dealings with.
                            I for one have had dealings with them and have said a true factual comment on my experience.
                            These are homemade resin heads that he says are available. Why would they take months to be sent out? He's not waiting for payment, why should you have to wait so long to get it? I can understand a few weeks, but months? There isn't that much quality in the world.
                            Perhaps before making a statement like this you could be a well informed consumer/customer and direct an E-mail to said person and get the answers for yourself.Again you will find in this hobby a lot of things take time,so be prepared to wait for things.But with your attitude I'm sure people may not want to deal with you.Again just my OPINION.
                            As a member of this forum I have every right to comment on any subject. That's none of your concern.
                            Lastly why should my opinion matter at all to you?
                            It shouldn't really,but I am also a member of this community and will comment on anything I want to as well.
                            Have a nice day...

                              Is anyone familiar with Custom Labs?.....

                              In a nutshell, if you order the resin heads from Custom Labs.....you'll get them in about a week to a week and a half. However, if you want him to cast and shrink your own head, that might take a little longer because it falls under custom projects, and he's always inundated with those particular orders. Overall, shipping is fast for the heads he has posted on his site.
