#bjd recast friendly

[starfulldollhaven]

Nicholai got some new clothes the other day. I've been taking him everywhere with me. He's so freaking cute. It's honestly amazing what some good clothes can do for bonding.

The last one was taken at Universal Studio. i would have gotten more shots that day, but we got rained out. It was still pretty fun, tho. It's nice we live so close to the theme parks. Otherwise, we would never get a chance to go. I think we get by one 150$ each time for gas and food. We get free parking with our season passes. I 100% suggest that if you live close, a season pass is the way to go. It's a bit more money than a day pass, but it pays for itself in like 2-3 trips.

The comparison between bjd collectors and designer purse collectors has always made alotta sense to me, especially in regards to fakes. But what I NEVER understood was the way anti artists use that comparison and rework it into their anti artist arguments.

We as bjd collectors will compare the two and say that collecting bjds, just like collecting designer bags, is a hobby that requires saving up funds, hunting for bargains, buying from the source, researching reputable resellers and dealers, modifying, refurbishing, and building up communities and relationships with other people involved in our luxury hobby

But anti artists will compare the two and almost only focus on the looks! They'll state that they would never want to own a minifee Chloe when they can have a finimee Zoey just like they would never want to own a Prada when they can have a Nada! And it's like, fine, if you don't want to buy the doll you want then werk mama. But at least try to be more sane about it like the Nada owner is!!

I've see girlies go on paragraph after paragraph rants about how happy they are with their "minifee" and how it's (allegedly) just as good as a Fairyland minifee and how they're doing better than us because their "minfee" didn't cost an arm and a leg. And it's honestly concerning in a sick way. Like watching someone struggle (and fail) to not throw up

You think the Nada purse owners are doing that!? NO!!!!! The Nada owners are being just as shady, sneaky, snake like, and silly as the anti artists girlies, but at least the fake purse owners haven't convinced themselves that they ACTUALLY own the designer bags they NEVER paid for. You talk to anyone in the rbjd and ask them to name what type of dolls they own and those clowns actually have the AUDACITY to name off companies and sculpts!

Makes me shake in my heels every time I see it!

Like no mama. You know that you didn't buy a minifee Chloe because minifee Chloe is ONLY produced by Fairyland and Chloe was ONLY sculpted by one of their employees getting their FL paycheck. Why don't you call it New Sexy Minifee SD Chloe Dollfie Fairyland 1/4 Cute Girl Bjd just like how you bought it huh?? Oh right! Cuz to you long term lala land residents an rbjd and a bjd is 200% the exact same thing in every regard except price

Honestly. Anti artists either really need to take a page outta the bootleg purse girl playbook OR they need an 80cc dose of reality

Sax before and after! She’s a recast Volks Pearl head on a Dollstown 18yr body. Dyed (and then painted) by me as the dye took strangely due to sanding. She’s a demon OC of mine. Still waiting on ears and a tail and a ponytail, but she looks so coooooool. Wig is Leekeworld from DDE, eyes are from ChronicArtDolls, the rest is all by me, including the horns. The dress is made from artfully tied and draped bandanas. More to come! (Yes, she will wear that first outfit again later ♥) anti-recast DNI

So my spouse @vintageandroid got me this guy for Valentine’s. He came in plain black and I painted all of his scales and did some graphic work on him as well. He still needs some eyes, but I love him so much.

BJD Sales

Hi everyone! I will have several big expenses over the summer (wisdom tooth removal, newer car, potential ADHD and pcos evals/diagnoses, etc) and I want to make sure they are as... least-impacting as possible on my savings, especially since most are medical and I have no idea how much my insurance is actually going to cover... so any reblogs and shares are always appreciated!

Most things will be cross-posted on Den of Angels, Instagram, and Facebook. Additional information will be under the cut. I ship from the USA and due to postal concerns, I can only send the large, high-value packages within the USA right now.

Allergen warning: I live in a pet-friendly, non-smoking household near a corn mill.

Harucasting Smile Maji head: She’s some kind of tan resin, but I don’t 100% remember which one. Her previous owner split the head and body so the coa went with the body. I remember her previous owners name & email, but I don’t recall their instagram handle. Maji has thankfully NOT been recasted so I do not worry about her legitimacy, but I wanted to be upfront about that detail. Her magnets need to be reglued and she still has faceup residue. As with any of my Harucasting dolls, in respect to Haru’s wishes, I will only sell his dolls to pro-artist/anti-recast individuals.

$100 + shipping

5stardoll Elf Elaine: She was painted by her previous owner and given a mani-pedi which is chipping as well as pretty purple body shimmer. Her face still has faceup residue on it. She’s really cute but I need to make room — I am willing to sell her head separately, though. According to her card of authenticity she was produced in late 2018. I believe she is in normal pink skin.

$170 + shipping

Latidoll Blue Yern:

Yern is a slim MSD sized doll and the Blue (MSD) line has been long discontinued. Yern still has her coa and Latidoll manual, as well as the emblem in and outside of her head. I am not sure of the specifics but her torso has had some kind of mod job for mobility reasons?

Yern is from early 2009 and has certainly yellowed, but her yellowing appears to be consistent. Yern would probably benefit from a restringing with thicker elastics but I can get her to pose and stand just fine. Her s hooks were replaced and she has traditional/standard bjd s hooks in her wrists and ankles. For whatever reason one elbow likes to stay slightly bent. Yern will be shipped UNSTRUNG so that would be a good opportunity for her elastics to be changed; she still has an o hook for her head.

Her faceup is holding up really well considering it is quite old but please be aware that it is old, has some wear, and it is not factored into the price I am selling Yern at. The biggest sign of wear I noticed as a small dark streak near her temple.

She has some damage near her foot/ankle. Considering her age I think she has been holding up really well.

$100 + shipping

Dollzone MSD Girl Body: normal pink resin. Arrived from Alice collections in late 2022, spent most of its time in the box. Asking $200 + shipping.

Harucasting Big Geuru: She is in neul medium tan. She has a face up by @tonocha331. She has an extra pair of hands and comes with her box and card of authenticity. She will come without clothes or eyes.

She has some small s hook scratches in one wrist from a previous owner and several small scratches on her belly. Her face up seems to be in overall good condition other than three shiny spots on the side of her head. $550 + shipping

Logandolls Primrose: Primrose in light tan (coffee) with additional heel feet (strung) and an extra pair of hands. She does not come with a company box but she has a card of authenticity and comes with a blanket that I believe logandolls made for her. Received in a trade from my friend @groovyblueworld! She will NOT come with a pair of eyes. If desired, I can ship her in an old Dollzone company box for extra protection. Ordinarily she would cost $480 new but I am asking $440 + shipping - you basically get the extra hands and feet for free and an extra $10 discount. I can also sell a Flower Primrose faceplate in Resinsoul normal for an additional $40.

$440 + shipping

Hey, I'm Kery and welcome to my doll-containment zone! I'm a 31 y/o Lesbian and disabled artist based in Australia whose recently regained her passion for dolls and doll customising! I follow from my main @chipped-chimera. You can find my Art Blog @kerynean.

What I Collect - Primarily interested in the Rainbow High doll line for its beautiful sculpt, great articulation (well, for the older ones) and inset eyes allowing for huge customisation potential.

Current pet project plans for Rainbow/Shadow High:

Recasting eyes to possibly create a custom resin mold for detailed eyes with depth.

Last Unicorn inspired doll (Base: Margot De Pearla)

Forever slot for a custom Rainbow High doll for @theviridianbunny for awakening the doll brainworm from slumber. 💖

Other planned projects:

Doll clothes (micro-crochet/sewing patterns) in 1/6 and 1/3 scale.

3D modelling for printing (doll accessories to scale + maybe a ball jointed doll project).

Resin Eyes

Doll Jewellery

Various faceups (Rainbow High, BJD, maybe a Monster High G3 Draculara)

Blythe Doll??

Venatrix (Personal multi-fandom OC) doll.

PSA for BJD Collectors / DNI ↓

This blog is a BJD Recast Friendly/Neutral space. My official stance on recast BJD is highly nuanced and I'm not going to waste my time explaining myself repeatedly to people interested in creating drama. If you want my full statement on recasts you can read it here. I'm here to enjoy dolls, not to please everyone or join your crusades. Do me a favour and just block me. If you have any variation of 'pro-artist' or 'anti-recast' in your profile, try to provoke unsolicited arguments with me about this or I see you sending nasty comments about this topic to anyone online or offline I'm probably blocking you. This is for the protection of my mental health. This toxic attitude I've been seeing in the community is what made me recast friendly in the first place. You are not welcome here, please respect my space. I am not here to please you. To anyone with recast dolls - you are safe around me.

[the-bjd-community-confess]

Hi, I'm one of the anons who confessed about becoming paranoid due to having been harassed about my recast. I am glad that most members of the bjd community are friendly and won't go out of their way to hurt others (especially since nobody actually made fun of me in the comments like I kind of expected them to). However, overly zealous pro-artist people definitely exist and will send horrifying shit to recast owners. Some people just think that way: if your "cause" is good, then you can always justify the means. Just because you didn't receive any doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Like, maybe I'm over sensitive but having people tell me they want to smash my hands with a hammer so I can't buy recasts anymore or that they want to drill a hole in my brain with an ice pick counts as threats right? And let's not forget the simple, elegant "kys" or telling me to drink bleach. I've also heard of people getting their ip address traced and being doxxed for inane online shit, so when someone told me they'll find my location and rob me, it didn't sound out of the realm of possibility (though I know now it's not that simple). I wasn't doxxed, but I was threatened and to a teenage me it was psychologically damaging.

Oh my god Im so excited for this girl!!!

[real-bjd-recast-community]

I was recast neutral for a while until I saw one of my closest friends go through an intense struggle with cyber bullying over her dolls. I sat with her and held her while she cried when the information was leaked that her dolls were recasts and she had endless threats and insults flooding her accounts. It was really horrible. These people bullied her so bad that she had to go back on medication to sooth her anxiety over it. It really opened my eyes. I never want to support people like that.

Recast Aileen doll Ashes, bought for me for Valentine’s by my spouse @vintageandroid ! Painted and gemstoned by me. His name is Ember ♥ I love him so much. He is sitting on a shelf above my desk casting judgement.

[of-his-dragoon-ways]

I am literally a broke ass person who owns several legit dolls thanks to layaway. There is NO justification to own a recast BJD period, and Fairyland nearly closed during the pandemic :/  These companies aren’t huge corporations like Sony or Nintendo. Why do you think it takes so many months for a doll to be made, they put hours of work into these dolls and you slap them in the face with a recast. As much as I would like a FL BJD right now, I’m saving up for one. Put yourself in the shoes of these makers, how would you like it if someone made recasts of dolls you worked so hard on.
