The Walt sculpt is a Rahmier84 knock off? or a different one?

No, sorry for the confusion. Rahmier84 did my Noah sculpt (modded Jor El) and Kit tried to recreate it to sell... looks like garbage, IMO.
Wow, you're right. Big difference. How did Kit get the sculpt? Or did he just steal the idea?
I haven't seen Noah yet, but that sculpt looks great! I stupidly passed on the True Detective figure, but maybe one day I'll have a Rahmier custom...

Is Kit yiyiyaya?

iyiyyy, but yes. Same person.
I'd say it's a bit of a reach that he 'stole' the idea. Nobody's saying WeArToyz is stealing Entropy's or Masterworks' idea for Breaking Bad stuff. I don't care for the guy, personally or professionally, but the amount of re-makes in the custom community is almost as much as it is in Hollywood. I know some folks were rankled when iminime did GBU, but for the most part, it would be fairplay to anyone who wants to re-do something they'd seen before
I saw Odell on Facebook comment on Rainmans new Bill 2 set getting ready to ship to him, so except a Bill V2 head on eBay

He definitely is more obvious about it, even to go as far as using the original sculptor's name in his listings. Pretty crappy right there.

I know his name, that's just what I call him
Same guy; thanks for the info
You're right, redo's aren't technically off limits but there are situations where I think that they're done in bad taste. I will say that I don't feel that this Noah situation is one of them, and that's coming from a guy who doesn't agree with yiyiyaya's methods. I don't know if Jake's was an inspiration for him to try his own, but it's hard to say that he stole the idea because his looks completely different. IMO it's not even a shadow of Jake's but that's neither here nor there

Last time he came back under a new name, I reported my suspicion to the mods and suggested they check the IP records, and the screen name was banned a day or two later, so I'm assuming I was right. Seeing that he's back again, I'm assuming the forum software doesn't have the capability to IP ban or the Darklord doesn't want to. At this point, I'm kind of apathetic towards the whole thing, and can't arsed to report it again, if he'll keep coming back anyway. There's still people here that recast, and people that buy recasts, I think it's just that SSF's official policy is that recasting is bad, and it shouldn't be done, but that's about as far as it goes.
Well good eye because I think you're right. I've seen this "new member" around the custom threads a lot lately but didn't even think twice
I understand your position, but I think if we keep making it as hard as possible for them to keep coming back, they will eventually
get tired of it and go away. The basic profile on this type; to make a quick buck off of other peoples work. To do it on the
path of least resistance. So by making that path a living hellhole to go down, it will make them start thinking, is
this really worth it. Is the payoff really worth all the trouble I have to go through.
So I say; if any of us know for sure...then we should make it our duty to give the ******-bags the smackdown.
Through the proper channels of course.....
We should make it that you can only get on interest lists if you are a premium member that way if a banned member wants to sell on here (alrdy in place) or get customs (not in place) they have to pay the yearly $30 charge, will definitely affect those who were banned and now have to pay another $30 everytime they rejoin to try and get casts for recasting or even to sell.
Or they'd offer a premium member double or triple for a sculpt and bypass the membership. Hell, even if they did get the membership, one recast would already make up for the fee.
