Okay second try.

More owner vs company faceup, artist doll edition part 2 because I forgot THREE of my artist dolls 🙈

Emma (Element Doll PittC on luts honey delf body)

My two Logan.Dolls Claudias, Avery (on luts model delf body) and Abbey (on minifee body)

These two are Finn (Bimong Narin) and Yu-Jin An (Minifee Alan Head on Bimong Narae body). They're a couple to one of my favorite tropes out there, the "I think it's unrequited but it actually is requited love" or whatever we call that kind of ship these days lmao

Cheating on this pic because neither have eyes nor faceups yet. Soon my children soon 🤣

the slippery slope of Recasts

“We buy recasts of limited old dolls because they aren’t available anymore.” Many have been rereleased. I’m betting you still didn’t buy them when they did become available again - because recast acceptance is now such a mindset once you get into them.

“We wouldn’t buy recast artist dolls, only company dolls.” That went by the wayside too.  Now artist and small studio dolls are among the most recast. How do you think the the rampant recasting of P0povy dolls doesn’t impact the Sisters? That is impossible to ignore.

“We don’t think it hurts ‘big companies’ like Fairyland.” Fairyland releases videos showing their extremely modest workshop with their whole design team consisting of only a handful of people.

“Dolls are just too expensive and hard to get.” Yet many recasts these days are of readily available, standard dolls, mid-size, mid-price like MNF Chloe.

I could go on and cover every point recast people have brought forth but they all end at the same place, there’s a right and a wrong way to do the hobby if you want to be accepted within the main hobby spaces and by most of your fellow hobbyists, and that is to respect the artists and buy legit. I think it is more important than ever to crack down on the any tolerance of recasts since we are meeting up more in groups again. I suspect there has been some backsliding into recast buying over the pandemic. I don’t advocate being nasty to anyone, I know I can’t really sway you into not buying recasts if that’s your choice, but I also don’t have to associate with you, sell you anything, sew anything for you or do faceups for your dolls if you own recasts, that’s my choice. And as a whole, we can also certainly and clearly restrict our groups and meets to legit dolls only, making no exceptions.

2023 might be a very good time to do another BJD Artist Day (or even week) across every doll space as an online photo-posting event to re-affirm the support that so many of us will always have for the artists who create our dolls.
