Okay, dollblr, I need your help

My friend's doll collection was stolen on May 19th by his shitty landlord. Charges have been filed, but the landlord and the moving company he used to transport the dolls and other stolen property have been uncooperative in giving the information needed to trace and recover the dolls.

I'm asking that this post be shared as far and wide as possible so he has some hope of getting his most beloved and distinctive dolls back.

If anyone sees a massive dump of Ringdolls and Dollfie Dreams on Mercari, eBay, or Facebook, especially in/around/from the Louisville, KY area, please contact me so I can let him know.

I will update as we assess the full extent of the loss, but the dolls we're asking people to keep an eye out for at the moment are

Ringdoll K fullset edition with attached hair, NS. No outfit. Distinctive features: One magnet fell out and was put back in back upside down, so his headcap doesn't stay closed.

DIM Minimee Ruki head, NS. Distinctive features: Vampire mod.

Custom House Mina (both Saint Mina and LE Sad Mina), NS

Ringdoll Quiz, GS, fullset

Bobobie Pixie. Distinctive features: sky blue skin that yellowed to a minty color. Probably wearing green pajamas with brown airplanes made by me.

ResinSoul Yao, WS. His first doll, probably yellowed a fair bit by now. Distinctive features: a small chip on one of her horns.

DIM Minimee heads of all Gazette and Dir En Grey members. If these turn up as a lot, contact us, it's probably them.

Soom Dain

Soom Dawn

2 60cm Sweetdolls, NS

HZ WangYe head

This ResinSoul Dai and 1st gen Bobobie Apollo, probably still in these outfits

Any dolls that appear in a large group with these should be reported.

I will update tomorrow with more specifics on the missing Ringdolls and DD/DD mods when we've had a chance to sit down and assess the extent of the theft.

@okamikodomo @fullyfunctionalminiaturebeehive @buffdolls @laptopcoffee @lupusdarkmoon @lordhigheverythingelse @nyxypixie @freakstylebjd @literally anyone and everyone we've ever met in this community

Thank y'all in advance for any help, he's gutted over this and I am on his behalf. Still in shock that there are people this vile in the world.

Dye, doll, dye

I did a dyeing thing - a white Resinsoul centaur (Dawn) and different vinyl shell parts of an Obitsu 50 cm body (whitey and super whitey).

What I used:

A big shiny pot. Life pro tip - if you have an induction cooktop, check your crappy pot that you ordered from Amazon right away. Amazon sellers are liars.

Lots of towels (water everywhere). Dye (RIT DyeMore is what I used, because it's specifically for synthetics), isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a melamine sponge (Magic Eraser) for oopsies, and weed whacker trimmer string for the parts. Plus coffee.

Strung doll parts. NOTE: before I dye resin or vinyl, I soak it in cold water for 10-15 minutes. Resin is porous. Water will help open the pores for a slightly more even dye distribution.

So one thing I see over and over that drives me CRAZY is people dumping the whole bottle of dye directly into the water.

RIT has recipes. Here's the recipe for Fallen Star using "small" items:

It doesn't matter which small item you pick - the recipe is the same. For a more intense color, increase the amount of dye (Fallen Star is 2 teaspoons of Royal Purple, 1/2 teaspoon Frost Grey, 1/2 teaspoon Sapphire Blue per 4 cups of water). If you dump in the whole bottle, 1) you're wasting dye, and 2) you're not going to get the color that the dye is supposed to produce.

Dye measured - and then I measure one more batch in a separate cup. As stuff goes in the water, dye is absorbed and removed from the water - so you gotta add a little back. Like, an eyedropper at a time, a little.

I set the water to be just under a boil - no bubbling, but still painful when you accidentally stick a finger in there. It's soapy because RIT recommends adding a tiny bit of dish soap and a little salt to the dye bath to help disperse the color evenly.

Dunk:

The resin parts got 3 minutes each. The vinyl parts got 6 minutes.

Horse butt magnet came unglued, and there's something on the butt that prevented it from absorbing dye. I don't know what it is. I'll have to color correct with pastels. Also: the horse body was cast in two parts that were glued together, and the seams sanded. This became immediately apparent post-dye.

The floating blobs top left are vinyl thigh parts after 3 minutes in the dye bath. The darker blue human parts of vinyl parts after a six minute bath.

A few more things: whatever that butt glue was, it liquified in the pot and stuck to stuff. I am not happy about this.

Because parts are thinner in some places and thicker in others, when I pulled a part out of the bath, I would run it under cool water. Then I grabbed my melamine sponge and scrubbed areas where the dye was darker or absorbed funny. Isopropyl alcohol can also help remove some of the dye.

The dye continued to process, even after I rinsed all the parts. When I woke up the next morning, everything was an even more intense blue - especially the vinyl.

My self-imposed max time for resin in a hot water dye bath is 3 minutes. 2-part epoxy resin reacts quickly and hardens to equilibrium - NOT completion. When resin parts are put into almost-boiling hot water, the reaction is reactivated. The resin parts will shrink. I read on a resin manufacturer's website that after 20 minutes, the resin will become extremely brittle and fragile. From past experience, I know that 3 minutes in hot water is enough to make a resin part shrink.

Since the resin parts were dyed for 3 minutes each, this means I will NOT be attempting a gradation with dye. I'll use pastels instead.

But vinyl, however - vinyl can take some heat. Heh heh heh.

Next up: purple!

If you think ResinSoul Mei, Yao, Dawn etc are ‘sooo cute’ and ‘totally recommend them’, why don’t you have any Rs dolls in your own collection? Why aren’t you also looking at Dawn when you have a Fairyland centaur on your wishlist? Or Ai instead of Soom Beryl. I’m wondering why so many people are so quick to recommend them when they don’t have any or even plan to get one.

[real-bjd-recast-community]

As admin of this blog we’ve talked and need to address the current elephant in the room.

Everyone must already know what we’re talking about and they sent a lot of messages asking our opinion and our personal view on the matter. Everyone wants to know if we are friends or foes to their personal opinion during this madness rampage (we can all agree this is madness from one point or another), and we’ve decided to tell everyone we don’t have a personal or public say on the entire trademark vrs recast debate.

We know you guys want to hear from us it’s wrong, or some that it’s right, or some that we don’t care. And it’s not just that simple. We are pro recasts because we’re against hate, Admin O and me, we agree that we cared for recast owners being trashed unfairly and will defend them and give them a friendly place or help them out when possible. We deal with people, not with legal situations. We don't know about legal situations, we’re not experts, and don’t know how this will end or how will play out.

We do have personal opinions of course, but we agree our personal opinion is that we don’t know much about laws and don’t want to (because it’s not our place and have no interest on it). What we do or don’t it’s completely irrelevant to the outcome. If we hate recast or sellers, or if we love them unconditionally, that will not affect (let’s say, because I have no idea) the outcome of a trial for the trademarks. We are not among the jury or among any party involved. All we know is that even if (let’s suppose) Luo shuts down his business there will be a list of other people in china willing to fill the demand for recasts. Because there will be always a demand for recasts or reproductions of every other product and the only undeniable truth is that you can’t do anything about it either you like it or not.

So we will answer to our best knowledge some (just a couple) of confessions sent to us in the last day or so because we see there is a real worry from one side or another (some of this confessions might be anti recast but don’t contain insults).

Admin C + Admin O.

Sorry anon, we have no idea and personally think no one really does. Many use questionable proof or questionable insight knowledge to tip the balance to their side, but this is a situation that exceeds our comprehension and therefore we’re responsible to not giving an answer because anything we say will upset one side or the other and our place here it’s to avoid such confrontations to comfort recast owners when they’re treated unfairly by anti recast (or pro artist) community members. Many other blogs will give you a detailed list of their side. Have in consideration the interpretation of facts might be completely different depending on who you talk to, so basically, it’s all too messy and no one knows even if they claim to do so.

Admin C.

The doll market will not collapse anytime soon. Please let’s don’t panic. I can’t count how many times people in the community have told me the market will collapse and bjds will disappear permanently. Every now and then people get scare about a new event and start blaming each other and at the same time having this irrational fear of dolls disappearing or artist become extinct. The business of bjds (not even going as far as to talk about dolls in general) has existed since 1936 ? (starting in germany if I don’t miss recall with the Hans Bellmer dolls, correct me if I’m wrong), and expanded to asia in the late 90’s (volks 1999), and it’s 2018 and bjds are still a thing. There is no reason to think they’ll disappear. People loves dolls since time immemorial, people have artistic skills since the dawn of humanity. Things might change a bit over time but as long as humans exist, they will not collapse or disappear. So please try to remain calm and coherent about it.

Admin C.

We understand that social media can become overwhelming about some news, but I can’t personally tell if you’re more worried about the amount of notifications or the problem itself. Might recommend you to maybe stop checking for a few days or turning off notifications might work. Dolls will be here after all this is over so you won’t miss a thing and can skip right to the end.

Leaving aside its obvious how you stand in this debate, like I’ve said before, we don’t have a particular opinion about the subject because all information available it’s tainted by what side it’s telling the story. This is the DoA list of companies manufacturing inside chinese territory: Resinsoul, Dollzone, + (follow link). But not all this companies are based on china (many just sell to china but are not from china), and many others, the ones who are, as scummy as you think Luo is by doing this, if he was able to start the trademark process for their sculpts it’s because they haven’t done beforehand, and “scummynes” aside, they should have done it to be protected from a risk that was real. Recast aren’t a news for anyone, so why if you have a company and think you’re at risk, will not cover all your legals just to be safe? And no, I’m not blaming the company, I’m only reinforcing the idea that this situation it’s a product of actions on one side just as the other. If what Luo did was scummy, he was only able to do so because on the other side you have a company that didn’t protect their intellectual property properly for some reason, and that’s bad business. Many legit companies closed a long time before recast became popular or we even knew they existed outside china. Bad business practices happen all the time, including bjd companies. So if the two parts are to blame, then there is no way we can take a side.

There is no possible way we can tell “who's fault is it” that we come to this point, and that’s why there are legal systems that will have the job to decide the outcome. What I do know is that recast owners can’t be blamed unless you can analyze each owner personal situation or how the recast came to them and if they deliberately went looking a recast just to give their money to Luo (or any other seller), and if this is the case, then people might just sent them money for free (if they’re evil and don’t care about the dolls they get but only about giving free money to unknown chinese people).

This debate (recasts) hasn’t being analyzed over and over yet again because it’s easy to come up to a conclusion. It’s anything but easy to tell who’s to blame (if there’s anyone at all). This blogs it’s a safe place for recast owners as we acknowledge them as humans and we empathize with their situation and how others might pick on them just for their dolls regardless of how good or bad the person might be (on a personal level, having a recast doesn’t makes you a bad person or makes you a human being with questionable morals, you need to analyze each situation properly and personally, and that’s simply impossible. Some might get a recast from a loved one or a family member who doesn’t knows the difference, some because the company it’s no longer producing that sculpt or it’s closed, and in the two last cases the only market affected it’s the resale MP, not the company nor the original artist since they no longer get any money from that sculpt. And I understand people selling their legit for twice the price might get upset because they aren’t having as many sales, but the artist and companies are not being harmed, and the second hand seller will eventually find a buyer sooner or later if their price it’s actually fair for the product they’re offering). So no, I can’t agree nor disagree with anyone taking sides. It’s not my place to do so, we’re here for a different reason. This blog exists because we value the people regardless of their dolls and their origin, price or material.

We will not longer be given any further statements about this, it’s already crazy in other blogs, insta, fb, and social media, so if you want to discuss this and jump into the endless drama please do it outside this blog. Thank you for understanding.

Admin C

First doll dyed! I didn't get exactly the color I wanted (too reddish) but I think some blushing should solve it. Don't ask where the tail went. IDK. I intend to replace it anyway.

I accidentally dropped a leg piece into the dye, but was able to get it out quick enough. A quick wipe with acetone and another dunk solved the issue.

And yes, the stir rod is a stick. I forgot to buy a spoon or something as sacrifice so I used a random fallen branch. My friend's dog was in my backyard at the time and VERY disappointed at me taking a stick that was boring two minutes before, so Prism's dyeing has been blessed with puppy saliva.

Wip of the doll im planing.

I rly tried to made them colorful but my goblin brain, oh so chaotic, yet still limits me to a limited color palete. Ofc im liking it.

My dear pal already agreed to do the faceup and body blushing. I think she will murder me when she finds out what it looks like ;w;"

Ive also been thinking, its 100% that i will go with the Dawn head however Juns ears are more close but they are thinner.. so instead i might as for a Dawn head with long elf ears wich i can mod myself. That way i need to do less sanding.

I also still have trouble with drawung dragon/dino feet so oof

[goblinsandtea-art]

So bc im stressed af ive done some doll planning to get my mind off things. I now got a full concept for a new doll. They would be a resinsoul hybride of difrent parts.

Leme first say im bad at explaining but oh welp.

Not sure on the head yet but either Dawn or Jun. Im not a big fan of either of their ears as it would be a forrest dragon. So id have to mod either heads. I think id go with dawn since their face is less flat on the front.

Torso not 100% sure but i was thinking either of the normal males (not the muscly one!) Bc they are wider?

Then i want Zhen arms and legs. If posible also the wings? Idk bout the tail id preffer one that poseable.

Sui hands, i like the chonky look 👌🏻👌🏻

Color wise i think i was the dragon feet and part of the hands and arms to be yellow and the rest of the body would be turquoise.

As stated b4 they would be a forrest dragonkin. They would have messy curly hair with dreadlocks, lil fungi and juwelry. They would have moss and fungi grown all over them. Their faceup would be verry colorful. They would get glow in the dark eyes and markings along their body. They would get horns however idk what kind yet.

Clothing wise im still trying to figure it out.

The modding i would do: give them more scales, if i chose dawn id make the ears not so "furry", mayby change the nose? I love hook noses on dolls, perhaps some small fangs.

I made a board on pinttest with inspiration already. Still searching for a name, preferbly smtng gender neutral.

Character wise they would be hoarding all shiny things. Their home (treehouse? In a cave??) Would be full of it. They would live close to Cecillia. I actually think this dragon bb would fall in love with Cecillia and start to give her their shiny things. Wich i think is very cute. Cecillia us open to any kind of creature even tho she will have to smack the dragon bb multiple times for atempting to eat her fairy friends.

"Awh hello! Its been awhile!... what do you have in your mouth?... not again... spit it out!!!"

Cecillia never experienced love bc many where scared bc u kno... shes kinda goddess... literly. But dragon bb looks at her and thinks "they make my heart do the shiny"

[real-bjd-recast-community]

Serious question, no hate. Why do you support recasts?

This is going to be a long ass post…

Everyone has their own reasons, I can only talk about myself, I don’t thinkthe exact same circumstances apply to, for example, Admin C (who is taking aleave now due to personal reasons and might be horrified about the direct way Ihandle things but that’s a different story and we have different approaches tothe subject, “C” it’s usually more “measured” and many times tends not to givea reply at all and just “post the confession” asking anons to reply for, or notposting any reply at all).

There are many reasons as to “why” I’m pro recast, personally. I was at thedawn of the hobby, I had the luck and fortune to have dolls when there wasalmost no information online (and the few there was on Japanese or Korean andthere was almost no internet and obviously no “google translate” or apps, cellphones where only made for calling and texting, very basic texting I mean) andwhen there was Volks, Luts and a couple more, not the hundreds of differentoptions we have today. I saw (no one told me, this I saw with my own two eyes)how DollZone sold recasts, and how legit companies closed due to poormanagement resources, or scam and screw a lot of people with events, quality,or regular orders all together. I was there when some declared “bankruptcy”after almost a year of taking orders and charging their clients in advance andnever delivered a thing. I was there when some legit companies took from 9 to14 months to ship the orders (when their regular time was 45 days to 3 months atmost and never apologized or even sent a gift to the costumer, many times ifyou wanted to cancel the order they wouldn’t even give your money back andPayPal time for opening a dispute was “only 30 days” so you where out of anyprotection plan by that time), and all of this only if they shipped the doll atall, and they all came with a wide spectrum of very nasty defects or missingparts. I know, I wasn’t only there, I have legit dolls from well knowncompanies that cost me $750 or more and they “forgot” to include importantpieces needed to assemble parts of the doll itself or their full set.

Add to this that by that time there weren’t any options, I was often askedby SO many people “where” and “how” they could get the same doll as I, and Itried so hard to tell them and explain and it seemed like I was talking inchinese because yes!, it was hard as hell to get a doll, you had to deal withall the shit the legit companies just thrown at you, and on top of that begrateful that the company decided “to sell this to you” and have a smile on yourface whatever happen. And looking at those faces I came to understand that whatwe where going trough was just insane. That the companies weren’t giving thedolls for free, they where charging a lot of money, and I remind you thecurrency exchange adjustment thing, because they where charging upon 3 timesmore for the same doll if the costumer was from outside asia, that it’s simpleput discriminating costumers from the outside, or thinking we where too stupidto notice, and they actually got away with it for a lot longer than they shouldhave.

Now when antis talk about dolls they talk about artist and pure souls, thisartists got a hell of a lot more money than they should have done with thewestern world and gave us literally HELL most of the time, and we had to comeup with the excuses for them and smile, like “well, this is Japanese so theydon’t speak English, it’s my bad to have been born on the US” and all sorts ofshit we somehow found an excuse for them! crazy right?, and then there was the“elitism”, people who only collected Volks and though everyone else was shitunder their feet, or people who only have hi-end brands and start acting likethe cheerleaders on a hischool class, and many other ways of discriminatingpeople, human beings, who had suffered just to get a ResinSoul ¼ Song, andthat this doll was priceless to them, they where treated like trash, likeliterally trash, the bottom of the worst of hell. They had to read dailyinsults from a lot of people they don’t even know, and their doll was cheap,but legit. They were told cheap bastards, that their doll wasn’t a real bjd,and that it was a piece of shit. they where told that if they didn’t had enoughmoney to constantly buy clothing and props or wigs or shoes they where “baddoll owners” and made them feel guilty because they had a shitty “sock dress”and a “crayon faceup” or their dolls might be nude or wigless for months, andthey also discriminated fur wigs as “cheap options for the cheap bastards”(thank God that didn’t last because I personally love fur wigs). And theyweren’t allowed into “certain elitist meets”, or they secluded them pushing theperson to be left alone in a table where no one else talked to them or interactwith them.

Sure you might find people who says they never saw anything like this orthat they never got any hate for owning a cheaper legit doll, but this I sawwith my own eyes, I have literally no reason at all to lie, and I understandnewer members of the community who jumped into the hobby after recasts where here,or older members who just want to forget that times, don’t talk about it, ormaybe they where just extremely unique and actually never encounter the indescribableamount of shit I know there was back then. And I was powerless; I could doabsolutely nothing, if a person wanted a doll and didn’t had the money to buythe ones I might be able to afford (since we are all different people anddifferent lives) was Bobobie or ResinSoul, or Obitsu and Hujoo. The first twowhere considered cheap horrible quality options that will get you nowherebecause the real community members should have +$500 dolls, and the last twoweren’t even considered as bjds so you weren’t technically part of thecommunity at all. I saw all this, I saw how people, real actually living peoplelives got ruined by the then called “elitists” and now called “anti recast” or“pro artists”, I was powerless, the only, and I mean THE ONLY source ofinformation was Dean of Angels, and it was more like a exclusive country clubwhere you weren’t able to do next to nothing without getting banned (unless youwhere an Admin or a personal friend to one). There where times when they bannedreal resin bjds (no excuse at all to justify it) from different companies (like5stardolls) just because one of the admins “didn’t like the sculpt” and didn’twant to see that sculpt on their precious forum.

And I get it, its human nature to be a dick for money and to be a horribleperson to cement your social status or busting our egos because “I havesomething you can’t have”, but let’s fucking face it for once, this hasabsolutely NOTHING to do about defending the artist rights. This has to do withthe fall of the sales on the 2nd hand market (they used to charge you 5 timesmore for a used broken doll because “if you wanted that doll there where nooptions”, no recasts, you had to pay whatever price the seller come up with); Legitcompanies closed much more when there was no recasts at all than now, the hobbyisn’t going to “end” because of recats (not more than all those artists playingmusic on your phone will go off business if you download a free MP3 or MP4),this are all, ALL fucking excuses to hate on others, what you lost with recastwas sales on the 2nd hand market and the exclusivity of having something and bragabout it because few others can have the exact same. So you ask me “why I’m prorecast?”, well, it’s a long story with a mix of shit and a ton of knowledgeabout what I talk about. In fact most legit companies have improved a LOT sincethey’re competing with recast sellers (some didn’t, like Fairyland, still haveshit quality batches randomly, and Soom too among others, but hey! many did!they realize their needed to actually run a serious business, to care for theircostumers, to have a better costumer service and deliver better qualityproducts, to reply questions and messages, to solve problems, and yes!, theydon’t do it for free, they make a LOT of money out of it!, enough to cover theloses and a lot more just for their pockets, and now they tend not to think ofus like trash just because we where born on the wrong continent!). So you tellme “well then, how about small artists who don’t work for a big company and getpaid for their work in advance?”, there is, and always will be an audience anda public for them. there will always be people who will buy legit and that canactually afford $450 for a 1/6 scale doll, but the ones who will NEVER be ableto buy the doll at the “legit price”, are not going to “save for 50 years andthen buy it”, no, that money, either it’s $100 or $50, is NEVER going to the“small artist” and his work, so the artist it’s not loosing any money becausethe people who buys a recast it’s doing it because it’s unable to afford thelegit, and the ones who can buy the legit will not stop doing so! So again!,it’s NOT about the artist rights! And I’m fucking tired of antis using thatexcuse to actually hurt real people who have feelings, to ruin their lives andcyber bullying them like if they where mass murders, they’re not!, they’re notdifferent from you and me, they’re people, who is honest and good and caringand sensitive, and sure there are assholes in all sides, but most people getsshit over a doll, an object, “art” if you like, not different from other formsof art like music and small studios, dvd movie releases made with every penny agroup of friends can gather that are watched as torrents every day, and thedesigner clothing or the thousand other knockoffs you use, buy, eat andwear…. and then you tell me “but I never watched, heard, buoyed or wear aknockoff!” and I shall tell you, “lucky you that you can buy only legit, thatstill doesn’t give you the right to shit on other people who have less money orchose a different option”, and then you might also tell me “but they arethieves and this items are not necessary for living like food or shelter! Theyare doing it because they choose to be bad persons and deserve whatever it’scoming to them!”, first of all, let me clarify something, the recasts are acheaper option, but are not FREE, you have to work, earn money, and pay forthem, so “no, they’re not thieves”. Second, there are some people on this wordwho REALLY deserve whatever its coming to them, NONE of them are into doll,they’re mass murderers, rapist, racists, pedophiles, abusive partners on arelationship, …I can think a looong list about “who deserves to be treated asshit” and people who owns dolls, are absolutely not in that list, not even ifthey actually stole a doll directly from the Leonardo DaVinci studio, there isa very, extremely long list of people who are much worst, and antis focus theirhate, time, and effort into dealing with doll owners when they could volunteeron a soup kitchen or anything else that might actually do some good to others. Now,about the whole deal with “this isn’t food, you don’t need a doll, don’t useyour mental health as an excuse”, let me tell you, if you think “mental healthissues” are “excuses”, then YOU should get checked by a doctor ASAP. Second,how much of a self centered ass you need to be to assume “it’s all about you”and “we are all like you”. We are not factory manufactured, many went tosimilar situations, some thrive and have a normal life, sadly, half of themcommitted suicide and are no longer with us. Same exact situation on twodifferent people gives different outcomes. Not everyone has your strength andyou might find that strength in a small insignificant detail, like a doll. I’mgoing to tell you a story of my personal life I never shared before because weare on anonymous mode and no one can trace me back to it because I never toldanyone except my family (that’s not into dolls) and the other person involved whoI shall not name in any way.

I have a friend who is now a proud mom of a 1yr old beautiful baby boy andit’s engaged with a loving partner. When I started protecting random peoplefrom hate, bullying and shit (courtesy of the anti recast community), I lostalmost all of my ‘dolly friends’ because they “didn’t want to be associatedwith a pro recast”, but this girl stayed as my friend, and she wasn’t able tobuy a legit from Volks (though Yahoo!JP), not to mention the sculpt she lovedwas sold out, and prices on the 2nd market where insane, and even if I helpedher, I’m not rich myself, so even between two people gathering money it wasnearly impossible to pay that much, for the only person who had it was chargingover $2500. At this point you might be thinking “well, if you’re such a goodperson, then why you just didn’t gave her your doll?!” (got to love antis, theyhave a question for every detail no matter how stupid it is), and I didn’t gaveher my own doll because I have a very strong bond to this doll and it’s basedon my own OC from when I was really a very small child before I got rape at age10 (happy?), it represents the innocence I’ve lost, so this doll it’s not “justa doll” I would be able to sell or give (unlike other dolls I do have but neverbonded quite much with them). So I explain to her the ‘pros and cons’ of owninga recast, and knowing she was on a very delicate and bad situation at the time(for personal reasons) I made a lot of emphasis on the “bad side” of beinginsulted and bullied every day just for owning a doll. But she really, and Imean REALLY, needed “some joy” in her life, she wanted this doll more thananything (I had this doll, and she had meet ‘her’ trough me, and it hold asignificant amount of emotional attachment since the same day she had lost a closefamily member on a hit and run car accident, we had spent the entire day on thepark near her house taking pictures of this specific doll with this person shehad lost later that same night) and no, she didn’t wanted another sculpt or a“cheaper option”, she adored my girl and wanted to have “one just like that”. Shegave me part of the money (basically the cost of the recast), I put theshipping fees and other stuff I had to buy (like wig, clothing, eyes), and Imade her an exact replica of my girl. I had more experience so I handled theentire thing and gave her the doll as soon as it was ready, I even did herfaceup replicating the one my girl had and she was breathing life, she was thehappiest person I have ever saw holding an object, she literally cried tears ofjoy that day because she had her doll and we had “twins”, and no, I wasn’tthinking “fuck her, this is my OC, mine only, you can’t have the same!”, no!,we are grown ups!, I made sure to buy all exactly the same for her and shecalled her the same name with the only difference of a single letter on it. Butthen, a few weeks later, as usual, all went to hell thanks to ANTIS. I’m notgoing into details, but she called me really late at night crying, she wasconsidering taking her own life because she had posted a picture of her girl“somewhere where she wasn’t supposed to” without knowing and there was like 20people she didn’t even knew sending her one hate message after the other,exploiting every little thing they could know about her life to make her feellike the worst human in this planet. Because she had a doll. Are we getting thepicture here?, it’s a doll, a wonderful brave precious person was at the edge ofcommitting suicide because anti recasters or “pro artists” didn’t liked herDOLL because it was a recast. Please, take a moment to wrap what I’m tellingyou around your head. Just do it, for me, just take 3 seconds and tell me if ahuman life is worth a legit doll, just tell me that. I remember I had no car so Ijumped on a bus that took me forever to get to her and I was completelypanicking because I didn’t knew if I should call 911 or just “get fuckingthere” as soon as possible all this while I had her on the phone, and by thetime I got to her apartment it was a mess and she was barely able to open thedoor and I told her if she didn’t open I was going to call the police to kickthe door down, and there was blood everywhere and I really don’t know how I didnot to pass out because I tend to black out when I see blood, but we (me andher neighbor) called the ambulance (even if she didn’t want to), and that nightwe had to stay in the hospital so they admitted her in ER and I had to dealwith the police and give a statement about and call her family and actually TRYto explain she wanted to die because OF A DOLL (try telling that to the policeor the family of the person involved and see if they get it). I told herbrother I needed to pick up my phone from her apartment (that I had left on theground in the middle of this ordeal) and when I went there I also took her dolland the next time she open her eyes she saw this doll, and I told her sheneeded to be alive for her, because if she didn’t love her and care for her,everyone else will hate her, so “the doll needed her” and we cried a lot and Iwas able to convince her trough that same doll that she needed to stay aliveand don’t do stupid shit anymore. And yes, it was hard and yes she had a strictpsychological supervision, and yes, she recovered as much as one can recoverfrom shit things that happen in this world, but to think every time I see herbaby boy that that kid and her loving mother might not be here with us todaybecause a group of assholes just decided to push her to the edge because herdoll was manufactured on china and not japan… what else can I say, right?

And you might think I’m lying, that I’m making all this up because I’m “anevil pro recast who runs a confession anonymous blog”, and you’re a free personand you might chose to believe pigs can fly too, I really don’t care; But ifyou believe me, then that alone shows you how complex human life is, and howantis don’t know shit about anyone, and worst of all they think “they don’t need toknow” before starting the stalking, the insulting, the bullying, and givingthis or that person the worst time of their lives. We complain about studentsgoing into campus and shooting everyone and then killing themselves, wecomplain about hate groups and how some kid who just wanted to belong tosomething decided to go on a gang and ended up killing a mother of four and 25to life in prison, when truth is, we, as a society of assholes, might bepushing this people to their limits and then “they did it because they wantedto, it’s their fault”, we say “yeah, she killed herself, what a looser” and wemove on like there is nothing wrong and the actions we take are of noimportance whatsoever. EVERY little choice matters, if we decide to be cruel orgentle about something, if we decide to understand that the other person it’snot a duplicate of myself, if we condole a recast, that it’s a doll, that it’snot hurting anyone specially artists, just the 2nd hand market stupid pricesand our ego to be unique like if we where four.

So in few words, why I’m pro recast? well.., legit companies doing shit totheir costumers for years + abusive elitists hating on cheap legit options andruin peoples lives (now that I think of it, there was a time when it was also“forbidden” to do “hybrids” with one expensive head and a cheaper body, Godlord, those times where crazy…) + people unable to get a doll they reallylike (or need, or want), and even if you think “it doesn’t make a difference”or “doesn’t care”, this is many times a lifesaver for many + elitists assholesbecoming ““pro artists”” (when artists have nothing to do with) and againgiving the worst of shit possible to anyone they think it’s not to theirstandards + “cult like” mind hive, inability to accept other people it’sdifferent, and CONSTANTLY trying to “shape them” at your image of what’s rightand what’s wrong + Antis deciding for people how they should spent their money,and how or when + + + + + a LOT of other endless things.

And the best part is, we can be here all day and you will NEVER understand asingle word of what I’m telling you, because you’re an anti, you chose yourside and whatever reasons, shitty or not, they make you feel just ascomfortable as I feel myself being a pro recast and helping others getting adoll, might this be a expensive resin doll, a cheap resin legit doll, a recast,a vinyl doll a plastic doll or whatever the hell I can help them with.

Yes, I’m pro recast, and proud.
