I agree with both of you too... Luther, You can visit Diamond FX website: www.diamondfx.biz There are several photos of the Wolfe brothers in there. If you have trust in these great artists, do you think they would allow a company without an FDA approval to associate them with their product? Everyone that has seen them recently say that they support and even carry themselves some of the product. Do you think they would put their reputation and their students in jeopardy? If you want to stick to the original product, be my guest, but don't throw dirt to a new company that is starting. Have you even asked yourself, why is it that the brothers left the company? Why are they themselves being sued by Wolfe FX? Why is Diamond FX so popular in Europe? I believe that although we are artists, we are pretty smart, and we can tell when something is good and where to find a product even if someone supposedly tries to "steal" a maket. My suggestion Luther and everyone else: visit the website, try the product. Then make your own decision.
