We are delighted to respond you your review, as we look over your file James, your statements are not really accurate to the facts of the order. While we agree you placed your order on June 19th under a 6-8 week time line, it is perfectly normal for you to receive proofs as you have. And yes we agree during the process, you did make some changes to the clay molds during the process (this also adds time as per our emails inform our clients) and on June 1st you stated in email
APPROVED
Great job!! Thank you.
James R.
At that time the head is baked, no further changes are made and color is applied. Again all written in our email communications on each proof to avoid misunderstandings. The clay head is the same as the completed baked head. As we serve the world in bobbleheads using many of our own bobblehead companies, it would have no value to provide a proof to a client for approval, then modify the head. Being said, we never modified your head. It is as is.
In reading your emails and review, it is not insulting to educate our clients on the process. That is the purpose of communication. It is very odd you believe belittling our workers stating we run a sweatshop when the fact remains, our business model is followed by most other bobblehead companies, doing our work for 10 years has given us a lot of experience and very happy clients. It would remain hard to be in business for 10 years if all our clients believed the same as your statements.,
What we realize is in business, you never can make everyone happy. In your case, I believe the doll actually looks very good to the person form the photo and many others have agreed. We would suggest anyone who wants real reviews of our products to simply check them out online, we have in 1 years time over 1000 5 star reviews from clients and continue to grow.
It is important for people to see true reviews as this one, but to understand that individual experience can vary depending on the persons expectations. We never promise 100% likeness - that is what custom made is. We use artistic skills from a provided photo to sculpt the head, then provide completed photos. Your order meet all the criteria and we regretfully will continue to disagree with your opinion. In either case, we thank you for taking the time to write to us.
Have a great day we are sorry this experience for you, has not been more positive.
