I don’t usually follow Lolita news or Lolita BNFs, but this description of what’s wrong with Lolita replicas is also accurate for what’s wrong with BJD recasts: namely, that they’re intellectual property theft, counterfeit/bootleg, bad for the artists, bad for the secondhand market, and not acceptable in the community.

Notice from Dollmore: Do not buy from “Chinabjd shop” as they only sell illegal copies while providing bogus certificate of authentication.

I have a "conspiracy theory" of sort... what if recasters and certain companies are secretly working together? I ordered a Iplehouse recast and he came with an official Iplehouse booklet. Now it could have come with the legit doll the recaster (Luo) bought, but everyone who buys those recasts is getting these booklets. They don't look fake, so how are they getting them? Is Iplehouse giving them to Luo? It just feels too weird. Thoughts?

The theory isn't a new one, neither it's a crazy one. That someone inside each company is in contact with bigger recast sellers. Either a former employee or a current one making extra cash on the side (imagine the scandal if that ever comes to light!), or, the company itself (because you know what they say, "there's no bad publicity, only publicity", and many more people worldwide is on the BJD hobby now thanks to recasts).

Of course it's all speculative and no one will ever be sure, paper can be impressed in a very convincing way and Chinese people that work with this are masters in the art of reproduction.

I have several (legit, straight from Iple) papers, but for some reason I never had a recast of the same Iple doll, so I wouldn't be able to see it for myself and form an opinion "side by side" comparison of the papers as I did noticed that SOOM certificates are different from legit ones, but not Iplehouse, sorry.

#Pro Artist Day

Every year I see this recast issue growing worse and worse and we’ve all been trying to say the same things about it over and over again. It’s just damn depressing at this point.

There’s no valid reason to knowingly buy a recasted doll. You can justify it for yourself however you like, but it’s still theft. 

All dolls are artist dolls. They don’t just wink into existence magically. No matter the size of the studio, no matter if the studio is still actively making dolls, no matter if a particular doll is discontinued, no matter if you disagree with the price, the artist has a right to earn their livelihood from their work.

When you buy a recast doll, you’re funding theft. There is no argument or mental loophole you can use to deny that fact. If you find some way to justify your needs over the needs of the original creator, I guess good for you, but you’re not welcome in my corner of the hobby.

There’s no hardline that says once you’ve bought a recast you’ll never be able to redeem yourself. Make your next doll purchase one that funds creativity and keep buying legits from this point on. We’re all counting on you to change your position and bring this hobby back to what it was before recasts became an issue.

Go legit or quit.

關于這個部落格

今天決定把自己的一些隨想轉移到這個平臺，倒不是說我每隔半年重開一個號。只是之前每每在不同的平臺上使用，從來沒有達到我原本設想的意圖。

我相信任何人點開這個部落格都是緣分，雖然我在之前其他平臺的帳號不見了，但是能夠在此相遇都是冥冥之中早有的安排。我沒有在別的平臺留下任何線索，你都能找到我，這就是命定的安排。

這個部落格主要記述本人在低消費生活上的隨想，包括但不限於購買D娃，下載電子書等等。我的理念是堅定只要自己舒服，其他人怎麼著都無所謂。本來spectrum就是偏海盜党的，在讀書期間也受到sci-hub的恩惠。如此種種都讓我反思，為何要以貴為真理，為何要貶低那些窮人。作為小鎮做題家出生的我無法容忍有人因為自己有錢就去鄙視，去限制窮人的一切。以我目前的眼光來看這個世界在不斷走向反烏托邦。

設想在一個末世高科技的世界，只有富人可以享受讀書的樂趣和體育運動，而窮人只能在下水��狹窄的空間生存。富人可以指責窮人，沒錢不要讀書，作者一分錢收入都不能從你們手上獲得！而且沒錢也不能進行體育運動，器材和場地都被收費控制了。說到這裡，不免讓我想到上載新生upload這部電視劇裡的Yang。

Yang作為免費用戶每個月只有少得可憐的流量，連思考都要計入流量的時代窮人永遠付不起所謂的版權和服務費。我覺得目前的世界雖還未達到Upload裡那種程度，但是也在逐步逼近了。

本心向著copyleft，所以在此開設部落格。

More work complete on my tattooed boy. He has a head now (yay!). I was playing around with different wigs and have so far settled on this one. I made some eyes for him as well. He's starting to look more complete! So far I really like him. #bjdhobby #bjdartist #bjdmakeup #bjds #bjdfaceupartist #bjddolls #bjdfaceup #bjdcollector #bjdboy #bjdaddict #bjd #bjddoll #bjdlover #bjdsd #recastbjd #customdolleyes #custombjdeyes https://www.instagram.com/p/CYS-CMssKab/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy #probjdartists day, let's spend #love and appreciation for the #BJD #artists who work so hard to keep this hobby being wonderful. Please do not support #recast #balljointeddoll because they limit #creativity. They make it harder for artists to keep making new and wonderful #dolls. Just look how many different companies there are, and this hasn't always been the case. If #recastbjd keeps being the problem it is these #dollcompanies will shrink down, and that means people could lose that future #dreamdoll, perfect for their character. Less variation is bad for everyone. So if you love #bjds then please support the artists who spent months of their life making that doll real. #abjd #elf #elfgirl #soony #pastel #pastelgoth #minifee #mnf

I pretend to be anti-recast in the public but I'm not. I never went "all-legit!!!", and I'm not planning on doing it either. In my current situation I could not save up for the legit dolls I like, I'm just way too stressed to even add more problems to my real life right now. I want the dolls to be an escape to enjoy something beautiful, and I usually pretend all my recasts are legit to avoid hate and being blocked or bullied on, not cuz I'm an evil trickster recaster but because I have feelings.

Waning Moon. Playing around with Phoebe. I have to remember not to use up all the good set titles before I have her painted and all. None of this is her stuff except maybe the cloak. But I think it will probably visit all my celestial girls. 

Phoebe is a recast Minifee Mio
