Just to play Devil's Advocate — can you actually prove that he recasted your sculpture?

Back on an earlier thread about this topic http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=9541&forum=5&start=15 it's stated by several members that resin casts of similar idols have been floating around for years.

I don't know this dude personally, I just found him selling the stuff on Craigslist and reprinted his tales of woe. He's got something like 6 of them left and said he's going to stop selling them because of the hassle he's gotten. If that's the case and you're one of the hasslers, rest assured you've done your job; and rightfully so if the work is yours.

The current version of your idol looks a lot different from your old one -- the detail is much better:

Are you still affiliated with Silver Shampain Novelties? They're still selling the brown one apparently.

All and all, your new one is really nice work! I'd be happy to promote it on Tiki Talk as well.
