So in recent news, it’s seems like the recast situation just got 100x worse….

I saw on @puffypuffers insta with screen caps from a Dollfie Dream FB group that Luo, one of the top recasters in China, is now in the process of filing for trademark of various BJD companies to own their trademark.

Which means that those companies he’s filing for to “own” were to sell in China, from Taobao to even doll shows, they could face legal actions and could never sell in China again. The list of companies that have been effected and having pending trademark is already extensive, companies that aren’t even in China such as Dollshe, Fairyland, Iplehouse, Soom, Lillycat, Marina Byockova, Peaks Woods, DOLK, Bambicrony, Cocoriang, and so much more, he’s also even added trademarks in the US for some companies as well. Luo has every intention of chasing out the “competition” of the companies themselves so he can sell freely with no repercussions.

(Full list of companies he’s filing for in China: http://m.tmsearch.cn/search/?keywords=罗礼贵&stype=sqr )

(Source for US trademarks: https://www.trademarkia.com/company-luo-ligui-4866177-page-1-2 )

Here’s the screen caps from the group of what’s going on.

With him doing this, he’s literally eliminating the companies that he recast from, so will probably be a point where you no longer be able buy originally cast of those companies doll, but you’re only be able to buy cheap resin copies because those companies will eventually shut down due to losing a part of the market they sell to

I don’t know how else more to say that the recast situation just gone past ignoring now, because this gone from bad to beyond worse.

what the fuck is this bullshit? so now, because recasts have gotten so popular, this asshat is going to shut down these real companies that are making their own unique products, so people are only able to buy the replicas?

say goodbye to new doll sculpts or interesting and new sculptors popping up. thanks. wonderful. awesome. I never looked forward to seeing new dolls anyway.

Hi everyone!

Okay, time to announce my new project! :D

I remember the first time when I was contemplating to quit my corset shop, and thinking that it’s a bit of a shame I’ve spend so much time and effort into creating this method and pattern for making the corsets, and that if I quit, then that would be that, all that knowledge would just stay in my head until I’d eventually forget. I told myself that, if I did quit, I’d give my pattern, knowledge and resources to the BJD community.

Well, that idea stayed in my head, and combined with the joy that it gives me to teach hand embroidery I started on this new project: to create patterns and tutorials for hand embroidery and BJD sewing projects. All of them will be available for free, for now through Craftsy and later also through my own website.

And of course, the first one is the pattern and instructions for making your very own Minifee corset :D It’s available here, for free, in a 48 page PDF document: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/patterns/sewing-your-own-minifee-bjd-corset/493372

This is just the beginning though! I’m going to release a new pattern/tutorial weekly, starting with needlepainting for beginners and more BJD garments, more type of corsets, etc…all of this will be for free, but since they cost a lot of time to make, I’ve started a new Patreon page to hopefully get some support for making more free patterns available!

More about the Patreon and how it works here: but the gist of it is, anything I make for the patterns(be it corsets, full handembroidered BJD outfits, needlepaintings..)will be given away for free to my Patreon supporters, and since there will be a weekly new pattern, there will also be a weekly giveaway. Patreons also get access to daily blog/WIP posts, weekly Q&A posts where I help you with your projects and giveaways for materials for your embroidery and doll sewing projects. So, if you want to support me making these tutorials and have a chance at lots of free goodies and creations, please check it out :D

So..that is the idea! I hope you like it and that you’ll support me in this as much as you’ve done in the past with my Etsy shop, and if you’re off to make your own corset..good luck, and let me know if I can help! :D

Love, Raouken

I want a yo to carry around with me, but I’m really picky…

[crapolicedolls]

yo guys do me a solid and reblog + rec me your favorite yo sd or tiny and why

[cocoondolls]

It took me a while to warm up to Yo-SDs, when I started the hobby I couldn’t imagine why someone would want a Volks doll. But I was lucky enough to be able to get Remi later and I would never ever let her go. Of all my tinies she is the most pleasing to hold and pose and make clothes for (somehow I feel like a Yo-SD would be the perfect tiny size), there’s some soft charm to a Yo-SD. Pipos PO-11 is my second favorite. I had four but sold one so now I’m down to three (though Charlotte is an anthro). They’re a bit more petite than your average yo-sd sized tiny. The sculpts are shapely and Pipos resin is very nice. I don’t own these but I also really like the quality in sculpting of Bluefairy’s and Peakswood’s tinies.

There’s a hometown Dolpa in Nagoya when I’m there but I can’t go that day noooooooooooooooooo

And no Dolpa in August in Tokyo this year either. Sad face.

[truebjdconfessions]

Dollshe is literally insane. Yes, his sculpts are really nice. But look at what he’s doing. He discontinued Saint way back with the other 18M dolls. Then he limited all sculpts to 300 and said no bodies or heads would be purchasable separately, and NOW you can get heads and bodies separately, and Saint is available? And now everything is “SOLD OUT” because he refuses to admit he’s backed up with orders for a move he’ll change back in 2 months. Fucking bravo, Dollshe.

Go check out his Facebook for the past months where he posts about giving up.

Recasts are really bringing him down. He’s trying to make the best quality products, trying to recast-proof his newest bodies (which costs more to make and assemble), while still trying to make new lines and sculpts.

He’s said before that he’s had health problems, been wanting to spend more time with his family, etc. Give the guy a break, damn.

I had to run out to take couple of quick snaps before the sun went down on this lovely but very busy Sunday.

[cocoondolls]

I grabbed Elke with me when we went to the Japanese park with a friend to take photos, and these are pretty much the only ones I could manage with some blossoms without anyone holding her up for me : ‘D Plus a sunset one.
