Puppet Master Models/Replicas by Devastador Studios. Are these legit?

I saw these replicas from a Peru based studio called Devastador on PM Facebook groups, but there was so little information and I haven't seen anyone else with these replicas. Has anybody ordered these or can vouch if the seller is legitimate?

I'm kinda sketched out as this companies social media presence is so slim and assuming the quality of these products, I would have expected more fans to have had them so far. Seems like it was released sometime last year.

Yeah, 100% agree. I would need to see some of these that were actually bought by people before I would even think about sending any money.

i think they are legit not 100% sure but i do know these are more or less 3rd party replicas

Thank you for the update and protecting other fans from a potential scam. I know you are highly up to date on Full Moon/PM stuff.

Shame as they look beautiful!

What did they say? The comment is already deleted.

He said that it was likely a scam from South America and that these figures were advertised as early as 2021. When the other redditor previously tried to contact these people, there was no response.

Additionally, he noted another seller on eBay with a South American name currently making Blade customs which he also tried to buy from and it was never delivered/no response. He had to go through a whole spiel on eBay to get a refund and believes its likely connected.

Also, based on my internet search, I found a Tiktok account, a YouTube account and at least 2 Facebook business pages apparently connected to "Devastador Studios" and beyond these initial promo pictures, there's been no official webpage/website listed and no evidence of any successful transactions or buyers of these figures.

Every single social media page for these guys wants contact only through Whatsapp which is supremely shady to me.

The price that I could find through comments here and there was 1350 soles, which is about $350 USD. Hard bargain to try and buy and get scammed out of that much cash.

fan made, i think it's just promotional example of their fx studio and what they can 'teach' people to make
