I don't know, but these figs look awesome! I could point out several anime and movie references, such as the Dark Warrior (Who looks like the bad guy from Lodoss War).
His evil guys look really neat, and I'm tempted to buy some.

He is the headless horseman. To my knowledge though, he doesn't come with any set.

Whoever he is, I'm taken aback by the prices he's charging.
He's charging 30 dollars for a plain horse with the printing removed. He calls a black one a phantom and a white horse a ghost.
$6.99 for a Tygurah figure... the set this fig comes in is going for 5 dollars now at Toys R Us.
Some of the figs are neat, but again, the prices are ridiculous... especially since some of the figs are made with unaltered, official Lego pieces.
I think that some of our resident sticker designers could easily match the work that this guy does, for much cheaper.

Oh, come now, you shouldn't be any more embarrased than Brickboy should be by his ambiguously phrased question.

And to actually answer the question, this particular customizer has been discussed before, much of it keying around the extremely high prices and making it look like stuff that he bought from Red Bean and Blasterman's Little Armory was his own work (and cranked up the prices for by a staggering amount). Some very nice creative work on some of the figs, though.

My opinion has suddenly changed of this plagiarizing back-stabber. Shifty-Brick b*****d! Fifty bucks for a black horse with skeleton on it! I'm gonna give this guy a piece of my mind!

Are you sure you have a piece to spare?
