What is a recast?

A recast is a copy of a doll (or doll part) made from moulds of existing dolls. When done without the express permission of the original artist or company, this is a violation of the original artist's or company's exclusive right to control the reproduction of their own intellectual property. These recasts are a violation of the artist's or company's exclusive rights whether they are made for personal use or for sale.

What does it mean to be ___?

  • Recast: An unauthorized copy of a doll or doll part made from an existing part without the express permission of the original artist or company. This is a violation of the artist's or company's exclusive right to control the reproduction of their own intellectual property. Synonyms: counterfeit, bootleg.
  • Legitimate: An original doll or doll part made and approved by the original artist or company. Synonym: legit.
  • Recast Friendly: A stance that is for recasts or actively looks for and purchases recasts. Synonym: Pro-recast.
  • Recast Neutral: A stance that accepts recasts without openly supporting them. In practice, it is similar to being recast friendly.
  • Pro-Artist: A stance that is against recasts. Supports the original artist or company by purchasing a doll directly through them, their approved vendors, or through research on the second hand market. Synonym: Anti-recast.
