Am I the only one sitting here and while I do like some of the zonk minis, I think his business was so atrocious, that I would refuse to own the minis because their maker is the definition of a scammer?

Understand your sentiment, but for me the maker/artist should be judged on their work and their personality separately.
His take on big hat CD's was fresh, creative and showed skill. His approach to business and customers showed deviousness, cunning and disregard.
Some of the greatest artist in the history of mankind were terrible people.
As a reminder Zonk was banned from the site for selling minis but not delivering them. While the Staff takes no part in transactions we obviously cannot condone that, buyer beware.
I have to agree with Sjoerdo on this one. Many artists over the years have been terrible people with few redeeming qualities aside from their skill. The art stands alone and while I would likely balk at supporting him directly I have no compunction collecting the OOP models.
I have a small collection of Zonk models and keep an eye out for them on the rare occasions that they come up. The first one I acquired was completely by accident with a Bartertown trade where the guy threw in some extra models and one happened to be the musician. Took me a while to figure out what it was.
I tell myself that perhaps at some point I will 3D scan and print enough to build out a unit. Will probably never happen, since my 3D printer lies in pieces still.
Casting quality is moderate amd the resin is somewhat brittle. The sculpts are for the most part creative and well done. A very chaos dwarf based but slightly unique take on the genre

exactly , picasso was an horrible human being .....
I’m sure people have considered it. While the CDO staff can’t condone illegal recasts, given how many people were ripped off by Zonk I’m sure many would consider such a thing to be karma.
