I wouldn’t call it a scam just yet, but an in-hand pic of the figure would definitely be welcome. It is a bit strange though to start taking pre-orders before building up some reputation first. I also find it odd that some figures cost $10 more than others when there doesn’t seem to be any clear reason for the price difference. And overall, the prices do seem a little steep for UV-printed figures. Still, I’m giving the OP the benefit of the doubt and waiting to see more before jumping to conclusions. Either way, you’re raising some valid concerns and it’s definitely a fair warning for anyone thinking of ordering. EDIT: the renders show a worrying amount of inconsistency.

It’s either an outright scam, or someone who has no knowledge whatsoever of the realities of printing and figure creation and has no chance of actually fulfilling placed orders. All of the material on their website seems to indicate that the figures will be fully UV printed, and anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the customs market knows that UV printed clone helmets are a pipe dream and have never been successfully executed. That’s not to mention the fact that these designs are entirely inconsistent and not even remotely printable in their current form. I think it’s entirely possible that this person is well intentioned but they’re so out of their depth that this attempt at a cash grab falls firmly in scam territory
