1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Sad Recast Realization :(

Jun 20, 2017

    1. If you go to the BJD related forums in Baidu you can find a lot of Chinese BJD lovers hate and hunt down every recast 'creators' and owners as hard as most of us do here. They will tell you their are many beautiful legit budget doll from Chinese companies and there's no reason to buy recast. Recast owner would be expelled from the whole BJD community until they confess and get rid of the recast.

      It's funny to see some people trying so hard to justify recast here.

    2. I don't think you get me. I don't justify recasting and copying of any kind, I'm just trying to figure out why does it exist and how you can prevent it.

      Moria, I think that with such attitude (expell recast owners, better even give them a yellow star on the forearm, you know what I mean) you miss a lot of interesting people to talk and to share experience with.

      "Confess and get rid of the recast"? What are you, Spanish inquisition? This is exactly the attitude which disourages me from even wanting to be a part of community. To even care of recasts. Maybe I'm just an idealistic dreamer but I prefer helping and talking to people before banishing them "until they confess before the tribunal of raging teens, ritually burn all their recast dolls (yeah, many parents would be happy to see how their kids burn presents from them), carve 'former recast owner' on their foreheads and would whip themselves every morning until the last day of their miserable lives". I guess this is what you want, don't you?
       
    3. While there has been some good discussion in this thread, Den of Angels has a very strict zero tolerance policy towards recasts.
      As such, this thread is being closed.
