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, Lily at, Marina Byockova, Peaks Woods, DOLK, Bambicrony, Cocoriang, and so much more, he’s also even added trademarks in the US for. 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.

This is absolutely insane.

If you still believe that recasts do not hurt the community, consider yourself pro- or even neutral, UNFOLLOW ME NOW.

Fuck.

[mirrorada]

yep, if you support recasts, you’re supporting theft. this is disgusting and if you’re still ok with recasts- unfollow me, don’t purchase from me, don’t associate with me.

Well that's disappointing. If you look up her profile on fb. The old display pic is there.

[fayettenight]

Someone commissioned a doll faceup that's weirdly similar to my Diana... I'm a little salty about it. But I'm holding off being actually upset to see the finished project. But still. Different sculpt but strikingly similar makeup. I'm probably being whiny. I've tried being nice to the girl who got her Risse around the same time at me/similar face up again there... But she's kinda cold towards me. o wo though in both cases I love my dolls more anyways. I'm just venting. Here have some pics of my lovely girls.

Ex-fucking-cuse me?

I have never bought a deliberately verbatim copy of an artist’s work. I have purchased different brands of similar colour make-up, different brands of similar creme filled cookies, but you see mass produced items such as this are different then a verbatim copy of artist’s sculpture advertised with the artists original stock photos.

Quit making up bad excuses for your theft!

Who’s the bully really? No pro-artist I’ve ever met. I’ve only ever been bullied by pro recasters for being “hypocritical” or “rude” for pointing out their faulty reasoning.

MAKING A VERBATIM COPY OF AN ARTIST’S WORK IS ART THEFT.

BUYING THE VERBATIM COPY ADVERTISED WITH ITS ORIGINAL STOCK PICTURES FROM THE ORIGINAL ART IS KNOWINGLY BUYING STOLEN ART.

RECASTERS AND PRORECASTERS ARE THIEVES END OF STORY!

[ethravii-bjd]

So sick of these fakebabies making this same argument over and over.

[fayettenight]

Also. Buying knockoff purses and makeup is bad too. o wo buying knockoff make up can cause acne, skin conditions and infections. Buying knockoff purses supports art theft. So... shitty comparison.

I’m running my annual customer appreciation sale for the entire month of July! I’ve said it many times before, but I honestly can’t express how much I appreciate each and every one of my customers. You guys are seriously some of the most generous, patient, and kindhearted people and I’m blessed to have your support. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to all of you who support me. Thank you!!!

Everything, excluding charity items and doll carrier bags, is 25% off and there will be a free shipping event the weekend of the 15th ($50 minimum purchase) and YES that will include international orders. You’ll just need to use the coupon code YAYFREE17 on July 15th, 16th, and 17th.

As in the past, each item you order enters you in a drawing at the end of the month! There will be 5 winners this year!

And for fun, if you place an order and want a free surprise tube dress, you can add a note when you check out and use the phrase “going clubbing”.

I will be adding some new SD sized items next week, but for now, I’m going back to working on orders. :)

To all the Anti Recast, saying it is illegal to buy and own recast. Learn the law before spreading shit: “The Department of Justice, however, has stated that federal law doesn’t prohibit an individual from buying a counterfeit product for personal use, even if they do so knowingly.” The only illegal thing is to sell them. So fight recaster not recast owner. Saying recast kills the hobby is BS too. Fairyland is one of the biggest and most rich. And the most recasted. So stop spreading BS.

First, to fight recasters we need to deprive them of funds. Aka STOP FUCKING BUYING RECASTS SO THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Second https://denofangels.com/doawiki/index.php?title=Information_about_recast_BJDs go ahead. Read that link. Really learn what recasts do to businesses. I don't care how "rich" you think the company is. Recasts hurt companies. Your head is so far up your entitled ass it's astounding.

[fayettenight]

I kinda want to see a zora body with a different head. Like a littlefee head or something with a bit more soft features. Any one have suggestions?

[okamikodomo]

I actually have one with a Dollzone Mini Miss Kitty head. I can post pics and tag you if you would like?

[fayettenight]

Oh. I'd love to see. I'm debating different head sculpts to put on the body. Maybe a littlefee head. X.x I love the body. Not so much the face for zora

“Please don’t buy recasts” uhh please don’t tell me how to live my fucking life, bitch? Of course you’re on the anti-recast list. Go work on your own life rather than telling someone how to live theirs, God.

There's a reason we say please. Please implies that we are asking nicely and or suggesting or imploring that you don't. We aren't screaming in all caps and calling you names. But you know. We are the bullies totally. Recasts kill companies. By buying a recast you are supporting the company who is stealing the intellectual property of an artist.

How would you feel if after you worked hours upon hours For months on styling your doll making it perfect to match your vision spending untold amounts of money to make it work and then some chinease group comes in and says "oh people want to buy this" takes the design and makes a copy (I won't even go into the quality of the copy because it's been made clear you all don't care or don't notice the difference) and then they sell it, you get nothing, no compensation. Nothing. Then everyone has your Oc everyone is walking around with your doll and you got NOTHING. Would you keep creating? I wouldn't.

What about doll kin and their incessant need to steal doll pics and not source them and post them on their blogs and tag them as "kin" that bothers you right? That makes you upset right?

Put yourself in the shoes of the artist, when you buy recast you tell the artists you don't care about them, that you just want to take everything they worked on and not support them. When they don't have the support they stop creating. When they stop creating we stop having dolls to buy. They stop casting. The recast companies keep making copies of copies and the market is nothing but the same doll the same thing. Without the artists this hobby loses its heart. Recasts are killing this hobby, those of us who are pro artist are trying to make ourselves heard. A good portion of the pro artist community is the people who make the wonderful clothes and accessories you all buy for your dolls. We want the artists to know yes we do still care we watch the crumbling of companies and despair because one day that might happen to our favorite company too.

I've only just come into this hobby, at first I almost bought a recast. Someone pointed out that it was a bootleg product and I turned away and found the legit sellers. I saved up. Currently I have 2 minifees 1 Feeple. 1 minifee on the way and another on layaway. It's been a year and a half. I saved. I scrimped. I stopped buying other things to have access to the funds for new dolls. I live in a shitty aweful apartment working 40 hours a week with a car payment and a cat who has chronic seizures. I save my money I budget, I don't make excuses.

So if me being pro artist is a bad aweful thing, I think I'm okay with being seen as aweful to the bootleg loving side of this hobby. Go ahead. Spout your hateful lies. Say aweful things about how I'm a bully. I'm not. I'm actually a very sweet and caring girl.
