Another doll line being discontinued
If you want a Doll Family-H 1/5 scale girl or boy BJD, you have until April 21, 2024. Then it's gone forever - thanks to recasters.
Tumblr media
Recast buyers wonder why legit collectors get so angry? It's because recasts are ruining the hobby. So no, it's not a "live and let live" situation. It's a "If I tolerate your behavior, I am harmed" situation.
I have to save up for these dolls, if I want to purchase responsibly. Instead, I'm making stupid financial decisions and rushing to buy before a line disappears - and doll companies are discontinuing lines a LOT. Tell me when I can buy a Soom Tiny Gem. They haven't been available in forever - certainly not since I started collecting. Dollzone and Dream Valley are basically releasing limited dolls once, with one re-release if we're LUCKY, and then the dolls are gone forever.
Recast doll purchasers are directly responsible for disappearing doll lines. If they don't buy, there's no market for these dolls.
Mistakes happen. But people who actively, knowingly pursue buying recasts in the face of overwhelming evidence that they are RUINING the legit hobby? Screw them. They suck.
Also - recasts are ugly. Sorry, not sorry. That's why recasting companies steal pictures from Insta and doll companies. If they used their own pictures, people wouldn't buy. Still amazes me that people are willing to accept a bait-and-switch, just to save a buck or two.

I meant to draw this back when I did this other doll comic as another side, to show a doll that had been cared for instead of abused, but somehow I wasn't able to finish it till like 10 minutes ago, anyway I did it *confetti*

Trying out the new DLSR camera! I very much love taking photos of my dolls. This is Sissilia!
Her new faceup has really inspired me. Trying to match the blush tone to the hands (which were blushed a year or more ago) was tough. The pink and purple tones in the eyeshadow look super feminine and glowy! I would love to update her wig from viscose to dyed alpaca. I hope I can cut the layers effectively.

A skilled swordswoman. Sissilia is a sultry human fighter. She is as comfortable around men as she is around a blade. She is absolutely the type of lady who thinks a 4-hour trip to the gym is a great date idea.

In spring 2020 I was going to attend an anime convention that obviously Did Not Happen, so I spent some of the money I’d set aside for that on an anime doll instead. I happened to find both the head and body I wanted readily available for a good price - 55cm Obitsu with a Parabox Sleeping Princess head. I’ve never had a soft vinyl/internal skeleton doll before, but they’re very fun! I was going for Animal Crossing vibes with her faceup (hence no eyebrows) but you can tell that the anime style thing isn’t my wheelhouse, haha.

My lovely friend at ResinRapture (https://resinrapture.com/) made a #probjdartists badge. Here it is so please, put it up in your site/profile if you agree! 
Let’s say no to recasts, and keep this hobby legit. Artists are making this hobby possible, not thieves (recasters).
