Love the honesty. Use the doll to practice on. Learn to restring, sounds like she needs her eyes reset, figure out how to do those things on this doll. Honestly I think a recast doll is perfect as a guinea pig, so you're less intimidated when you get the real thing. I actually waited five years to do anything to my first doll, by the time I got over my insecurities he needed everything done at once. It was an eye opener. I'd love to hear what you would like to have as your first grail bjd.
I like how honest you are... and hope the community behaves and doesn’t start with their hate comments.
AdriannePetrone thank you, I wanted to just have an open discussion about these dolls
You’re right it’s important to talk about it. I’ve also been curious about recast but have avoided the whole thing cuz of the huge hate that goes around the topic.
Yes I don't have anything to do with the community because of all the hate...of course there's some brilliant people who love BJD's. There's a lot of dolls made in China and I don't really think that the employees of Chinese companies have any say in what they sell at all. The haters should think about this before they start. Minifee is a huge company. They should shut up...You do what you like and it's great you're giving your unbiased opinion, stay that way!
I would also say that the exclusivity and nose in the air attitude that some of these people have makes me sick. Live and let live and I don't think that the people who have these dolls should be harrangued by anyone because they don't want them to enjoy the same sort of doll.
Quick hint...You usually put in the eyes yourself...sort it yourself...they're only in there with eye putty. Also the reason they don't seem so diverse is that 'tan' or dark skin toned resin is prone to bubbling and other flaws so it's more expensive and more likely to be flawed.
@@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws fairyland is not a huge company, you might think they are huge because they are so popular but they are not. They survive the recast wave because of their popularity. Smaller companies has gone bankrupt because their doll got recasted and they cant compete with that. Yes some pro artist can get extremely violent with their words, but you can still have a legit with a much affordable price. Also recasts are just extremely low quality in general. (This is coming from an ex recast owner who has go legit)
Whoops you spoke too soon. Looks like the irrelevant rude comments have arrived. Points can be made without being rude and hateful. But clearly they're a volatile bunch
I'm pretty sure the darker skinned dolls are more expensive because of the material used to cast it and it can depend on the caster.
Darker and fantasy skin colors require specific resin dyes that are finicky and it's tough to get an even result overall, so the rate of failure is a lot higher. They tend to green faster, too. But you can get some really lovely results.
The eye is an easy fix - just open the head cap and the eyes can be moved around. They are fixed into the socket with eye putty. The reason she can't stand is because she is strung too tight. The joints can crack if you leave her like that. She should be ok if you restring her. She's definitely a recast.
The reason for those buying the knock offs is that the better ones are so expensive. They get even more expensive when they are taller and offer more choices in skin tones heads and eyes. , although their quality is good especially the ones with more choices. Yet at prices of 495 and more than is expensive. I'm glad I'm not into those kinds of dolls.
I´m glad that I never got into apple products. Not that I use those money I save for dolls. But I much rather buy a bjd instead of supporting that company.
@@isabellaolsen4156 why apple products?
resinsoul has a yosd doll called bei and she's about 100 dollars as a nude doll. they aslo have centaur yosd dolls starting at 150$
@the cutest snail I have 2 Blythe dolls from Ali, both came with no defects & are super cute however I’m not a bjd expert
Doll leaves are super cheap for an original, plus they are double-jointed - you can raise their thighs up for a sitting position. The 1/4 Blank Doll Leaves is current on sale for $139.92 on Alice Collections. Also Myou Doll 1/4 is around $192.95 cause of %15 sale. Check on original distributor and see if the items are on promo/sale.
Omg when you said you’d never purchased anything from AliExpress I almost fell off my chair! 😸 I’m gonna go low & say they’ve got 20k outta me so far 🙈😅💸💸💸
Its better than Wish 😀
I have never bought from there I was told they steal from your bank or something and was scared , any recommendations on Ali express for these type of dolls that don’t fall apart at a good price good clothes etc
@@lindabonilla6173 Recommended Ali bjd seller for fullset: Ouneif, chinabjd, LimitedDoll, Nemee workshop (Their body looks like a cheaper quality and bulky but the clothes and head looks good - used resin head sculpt)
I just received Shuga Fairy Anya from chinabjd (it's the same as Ouneif). I made a review there. The quality is really good for a fake/counterfeit doll. I normally wouldn't be buying a bootleg doll because the bjd community does not like it, and prefer supporting the maker. But I fell in love with Anya head sculpt and there were no actual Anya anymore (it might be a sio2 discontinued doll). I bought an original one such as Dollzone Black Cat, Penny, Miyou after but she is my first doll. The seller were really nice :) so probably message them before buying one you like. They actually send pictures before the items are shipped. Also ask a picture too before buying if you're not so sure.
As far as the joint goes they're strung tight but does their purpose very well. It depends what type of body joints you have selected, mine was 2d doll.
Ps. My review is the one with different clothing in the chinabjd; she wears a pink pattern uniform, pink speeve with a tulle, and the alice looking dress one :)
@@moomimi on what website did you go
They haven't had nearly that much from me, but I've a feeling they might get it in time.
I buy from Aliexpress all the time, but not really for ball jointed dolls because I know they are recasts. However, I did buy a kikipop resin recast because I couldn’t afford the real kikipops, and she came with everything, and a faceup, plus she was on sale. I did buy her an extra short red wig. Then a few months later, I found a real kikipop that needs everything, (eyes, wig, clothes, and shoes) but she did come in her original box) on eBay for $82.00 plus shipping. But I do love both of them, and have lots of clothes, and shoes for them. I just don’t have the big bucks to buy original bjds.
Hi there, love your channel :) As someone who's been into BJDs for over a decade, I wanted to throw in my two cents on the recast issue. I do not support recasts, simply because it puts artists out of business, and creates a hostile environment for artists who may want to produce their own dolls. I do believe that the BJD hobby should be more accessible, which is why I think it's important to support studios that offer lower priced dolls. Studios like Resinsoul, Angel of Dream, and more, have excellent doll selections for the same price as a recast. That said, I think you've handled this topic really well, and I especially agree with you about making sure to have good, friendly resources for educating new BJD buyers.
Honestly, I don’t blame you at all for doing these videos! You’re letting people know what they’re doing without actually buying one yourself. For those who are scared because of the prices of bjds, yes they are pricey but you can find brands that are much cheaper that also have beautiful dolls that aren’t recasts! There’s ways of gettin into this hobby for less but still supporting artists.
I can really appreciate you putting yourself out there to not only educate yourself, but to educate others. You were very honest with the company and your viewers and that is admirable. I am a BJD collector and I took a long time before I joined the community and purchased my first doll, because I too did a lot of research. You are very right, no matter what people are going to put their money wherever they want but it is good to educate them on What they are buying. Honestly, the prices for a recast are insane as you actually CAN get a legit, high quality ball jointed doll for the same price. $180-200 is a waste of money when you can get a 1/4 size (same as the one you have) at the same price. MYOU Dolls is a great brand with affordable dolls. There are many others if people just bother to do the research. Thank you so much for your videos!! I love your channel
Myou's are really pretty.
Been waiting for this.. BJD videos...I really appreciate how honest you are... That's the thing about BJD some people are really sensitive to the recast and legit issue... Its been an old argument.. well anyways congrats.. looking forward future BJDs videos.. sending my love all the way from the Philippines...
Its so sad how these art thieves are sending you a free doll for PR.... :/ not only are they stealing from companies, they are trying to deceive others that its legitimate. I would also like to add that quality is never guarantee for a legit or recast. The reason why people should buy a legit doll is not MAINLY because of quality but mainly to support the artist. This hobby is built because of artist and hence why many people are so against recast/art theft and again this is not hate 💓🥺 you were very sweet and i am not going to judge you negatively just because you reviewed a recast. I personally think its a stretch to judge someone solely based off of the dolls theyve held
Well why make dolls that no one can pay for lmao, sad paying for something as useless as a doll when people are starving and in debt
Who cares, these days recasts are better than real ones, plus its affordable
@@MaletearsasoilDolls aren't a necessity. Art is a luxury and artists have bills to pay too.
Nah I rather pay less for something very similar ! I love my AliExpress dolls
@@Kinkykittychloe Me too 😊 and not all the dolls sold there are recasts. Some people can't afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a doll or dolls and this is why they buy recasts because they are cheaper.
I don’t know anything about ball jointed dolls or buying anything about buying anything about getting things about aliexpress but I do always appreciate your honest reviews I love your new design by the way,
Aliexpress also had the plastic 60cm bjd like dolls on aliexpress that are great for customization. Some are also already dress and painted. They are not actually ball jointed, and they are cheap but are not recasts of any bjds for the most part. I recommend those if anyone wants to start getting into bjds for a lower price without any backlash from the community. The prices range typically from $14-$100 depending on if they are a blank or a completed doll.
Long time viewer and love you!
I am a BJD collector!
No hate! I'm happy with the transparency you had in this matter.
It's not the materials that make it a recast. So basically they take the original doll, made by an artist and a private company, make molds of the doll, then make their own copies in generally less great materials.
It's the fact that these dolls are created by artists and recasts are art theft. I think it's absolutely something that needs to be talked about more openly, if only for knoweledge.
I’m scared for her 🙈🙈🙈
Totally agree with you in his Emma. There are people who have migrated from the BJD community to the reborn doll community and have defended knock off’s in attempts to normalize the concept of stolen art. It’s happening a lot in the reborn doll community as well.
@@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts really, me too. The BJD community can be BRUTAL.
I saw the post and was like 👀 because I remember NexJen's experience and it made me so sad.
@@emmacann2532 I was just about to bring that up!! & so many others in the past too! I for one was glad when Jen spoke up about it the issue instead of hiding & getting bullied. I know a few other people who got out of the BJD community before they fully got in cuz of all the gate keeping & drama (like bullying someone for unknowingly buying a used lot of dolls with a recast in it 🤦🏼♀️) people should be educated not punished for ignorance
Personally I have 2 Blythe dolls & a gorgeous BJD.. but mines from toys r us, it wasn’t really expensive but wasn’t cheap either in my opinion. Quality is really good! I was surprised! Thing is I didn’t even realize it was a BJD when I bought it, I just saw a gorgeous doll & with a sale sign knew I wanted her & snatched! 😸🎀☺️💜🍭
Luckily I found out about all the controversy a few years before coming across any recasts on Aliexpress or I might have accidentally bought one too!! I found out like 3 years ago (or more) about recasts so I’m always a bit surprised when other people don’t know, I guess I assume other people know more than me or something 🙈😅
I just hate how the indie art community gets hit so bad in so many communities it’s sad. Especially when the companies have enough money & could pay someone to design the dolls (or whatever else) for them & give credit, it just doesn’t make sense... 😕 I think she did a good job in this video, it’s kind of like she was low key exposing them instead of advertising the product & pretty obvious she doesn’t agree with recasts. Just my opinion tho 🤷🏼♀️
I'm aware of this, I own bjd myself
11 minutes in and I think you just keep repeating yourself. For 11 minutes. I understand making a disclaimer but you should’ve cut that down
I love how polite you were with the company contacting them about the backlash you might receive for reviewing the doll. Thats why I love the doll circle its so awesome
I have 6 different bjd from aliexpress I love them all!! And aliexpress is one of my favorite places to shop!!!
love your video! i'll just stick to Pullip and Blythe ... Bjds world are confusing and too expensive lol....
and while we're at it, why don't people complain about fake blythes too anyway? aren't they recast too?
Honestly, I wouldn't even know the first thing about finding a real Blythe. My area is nendoroids and related doll bodies and I doubt people in the doll community would help me given that they all seem to be massively unhelpful bullies to people looking for proper dolls
As long as there will be people who have little money and still love dolls, there will be a market for aliexpress. I have bought there bits and pieces myself in times when I couldn't spend much. I understand the fight some people try to fight for the arts and artists, but lets face it: to some a fake Picasso can give as much or even more pleasure than the real thing that costs thousands and hangs on a wall as a prestige item. There are two sides to this story and as much as ideas should be protected (but never will be), I wish people would just enjoy their lives and not waste them on being hateful.
18:06 cutest part of the video 💙💚💛 people will love your honesty for sure ❤️
I originally struggled with how to present dolls from AliExpress on my channel, until recently when I decided I didn't care about the drama. I can't see any of my future BJDS not coming from AliExpress, honestly. If I like the doll and it's affordable so others can buy one, I'm all for showing it. But, I also put recast in my comment monitoring keywords- ha ha!
If factory workers, the people who work on the lines that produce the dolls, are profiting from these copies, I say GO FOR IT! They don't make much money and the authentic dolls are literally THOUSANDS of dollars. Why shouldn't they get a little piece of that action?
I bought my legit and second hand but very well kept Angel of Dream Shi (which is a 1/3 scale doll, so about 60ish cm) for £90.00 on eBay... that, converted into American dollars right now, is $116.77... like, if you look around, you can get BJDs in the lower price range of $120-$500 (not counting the cheap legit second hand YO-SD dolls) depending on what sculpt you buy, from what company, if there are events going on, what you buy with the doll, and how big the doll is. It is a BIG fallacy that BJDs in general are about $1000+ for one doll. That is so, SO wrong and incorrect, and the people who say they buy recasts as they are not willing to pay $1000+ for a doll, are making excuses, most of the dolls prices are at a lot lower cost than that, bar a few companies such as for the SOOM big boys and for Volks.
I don't know much about recast companies, but I do know the legit BJD companies are very small, from 1 person to about 15 people, depending on how big the companies are. So, I am wondering how big the recasting companies are too. I wouldn't think they are THAT big... but they are selling counterfeit dolls, and stealing the designs from other small artists that do not get that much money for all the blood, sweat and tears that go into these very much hand made dolls.
Everything is hand made with BJDs. The doll itself, is sculpted by hand, the resin is mixed and poured by hand, the resin is sanded down after it has set, by hand, they are hand painted faces and bodies, the clothes are hand made, the wigs are hand made, the eyes are hand made, they are strung using hands. Everything is hand made with these dolls, so the amount of work that goes into them, is pretty extreme. That is why it takes months to make the dolls, because they are made to order, and all the dolls and the items have to be made by hand after the order is placed.
This isn't big scale companies using machines to pump out countless dolls, everything is fully done by people with BJDs. So, it is really about artists selling their art with these BJDs. Hand sculpting, sewing, and everything, is a work of art. And the recast companies have skipped a lot of the steps for making such dolls, as the dolls are already sculpted by someone else. All they have to do is literally recast them for the dolls to be made, bar the outfit and wigs that some recasts may come with. That is why recasts are cheaper, but I must admit, the price of recasts is going up now. I have seen some recasts going for $400+ now. So, really, they are much closer to the legit prices for an average legit BJD now. As like I stated, a LOT of companies are not selling their dolls for $1000+. The average is, I would say, about $200-$600, depending on factors I stated above. But, the bigger the doll is, and how much you buy with the doll, the bigger the money paid will be, there are MANY small YO-SD sized BJDs for great prices. As well as 40ish cm/MSD dolls. Some 60cm/SD dolls are reasonably priced too, even with the 70ish cm dolls, you can find decent prices. These dolls are art pieces, hand crafted, so of course will be more money than big factory machine produced dolls.
"100% Authentic" I laughed so hard because it's obviously a Minifee recast, I believe a Mirwen?
my partner collects banpresto one piece figures and sadly i ordered one on ebay,( silly i know) and it was a disaster completely fake and broken it came from the Uk too which confused me, i should have suspected it was a re-print but the boxes are exact to the original, i always get so confused. and it was dearer than the official ones too.
i liked this video and that you where honest like you are when it comes to dolls, thats one of the reason i love watching your reviews.
@@becky7603 hi thankfully i got a refund in the end :) xx
I really like your channel. I don’t buy the dolls you feature but I do like how you present things.
The thing about knock off’s and the companies who sell them is these knock off companies don’t care if you give them a bad review or not. All they want is exposure. Their target isn’t the people who are die hard against knock off’s. They are hoping you will reach the people who have no qualms about buying counterfeit dolls.
The reborn doll community is having a hard time dealing with this very issue and it’s because people who buy knock off’s are keeping these counterfeit doll dealers healthy and going.
Thanks for taking the time to also delve into the topic of counterfeiting.
Great topic 👍🏼
Can’t wait to see your review! I had purchased a bjd from someone not knowing it was a recast :/ such a shame. I can see the quality difference when I look at the originals online 💔
Thank you for all the information and transparency. Appreciated the information and I look forward to part 2 ❤
I don't know much about BJDS but I think if you verify that this doll is a recast it would be a good idea to find out where you can purchase from the original artist and link to it. I look forward to your video on her.
It's from Fairyland.
Video actually starts at 11:40
Thank you!!
Hey so, if that price range is reasonable for you, let me direct you to Bobobie/Resinsoul brands. I don't have a high-end budget but I loooooooove BJDs. Bobobie and Resinsoul (i think the companies are like sister companies) are real producers of ball jointed dolls and a totally reputable company, and the dolls are still plenty nice and high quality, but they're way more in the affordable price range~
Where can I find the. Companies at
@@lindabonilla6173 If you want an original doll. Go to Alice Collections site. The blank doll is really cheap for a 40cm plus they are double-jointed - can raise the thighs in sitting position.
The LimitedDoll from Ali is $113 Usd blank while Doll Leaves is $140 Usd blank for a 1/4 or 40cm doll. Imo, I'll get a Doll Leaves cause the pricing is not far off and I love their head and body sculpt.
The doll that was sent to the uploader was a FairyLand headsculpt in case you are wondering.

girl just open the box omg
i bought Sashabella \ Bratzillaz from AliExpress, it came in 12 days and her box was in perfect condition so i kept in box
Aliexpress is great for buying bjd wigs, clothes and shoes. Thanks for being honest.
Hieeee omg I love you sooo much I’ve been with you FOREVER!!!💖💖your the best!!!
I remember Nexjen receiving one having no experience of these BJDs and she instantly got the most horrific comments and messages. THAT in itself was the worse part of the experience for her I think she said. Not the quality of the doll.
I had people be nasty to me for just asking about recasts. I have a video showing both and I have to say the experience of buying the legit compared to being gifted the recast was not very nice. The quality of the recast is better than the legit. Might not be everybody’s experience but that was of mine.
I feel like if you are so against recasts, educate, don’t belittle and be super immature and horrible because in reality that doesn’t help. (Not you personally, just how the legit crazy folk behave) It only furthers the person that’s being attacked, into buying the recast.
I know this is an older comment but I was there for the nexjen thing and in her RUclips comments she did NOT get tons of mean comments. She got a bunch of people explaining that she was sent a counterfeit doll by an unscrupulous company and she decided instead of learning from the experience to pretend she was attacked.
In the RUclips comments there was maybe 2 "mean" comments out of like the hundreds that were being posted. Nexjens community (which seems really young to be fair) decided to condemn the bjd hobby and a lot of them claimed they were going to go buy a counterfeit "out of spite" which to be real, is pretty gross.
I'm just kind of tired of this stuff being spread and damaging the bjd communities reputation when that wasn't what happened.
Thank you! I’m glad someone sad this about BJD! I’m not seriously into it but if they came out with black skin versions I’d buy them in a heart beat. Otherwise they look like great normal pale dolls
They do. Iplehouse and Dollshe have some really deep beautiful dark skin tones. There are tons of companies that offer tan dolls as well. I don’t know why people think companies don’t? It’s confusing to me
thanks for doing your research and talking about it, one of the best doll reviewer's out there. love your channel hun
Yep I can verify that is definitely a recast of a Fairyland Minifee.
I am collecting BJD's and am faceup artist since 2008 this is definitely recast even not BJD package it looks like plastic doll, where are the pillows? I understand that some people doesn't have money for oryginal but as an artist I really am against recast. I am also cartoonist and i hate when I see that someone stole my idea. Same with BJD faceups, I was one of the first persons that make creepy faceups and I herd that my dolls are ugly, now those people who said this are copying me because natural makeup becomes popular through the years. I also do repaints like MH, EAH, now CC, L.O.L, L.O.L. O.M.G. so i know what people are interested in. Recast is cheating if i don't have money i don't buy BJD. Ok sorry for my english its not my first language.
I totally agree with you 👏🏼 There is no good reason to buy a recast.
@@RebornHygge I respect your opinion but I want to add mine. Cost could be one thing for some people. Maybe people can't afford the real ones. Do I think that recasts are okay? Absolutely not. But, no one should judge or bully someone for buying a recast either.
@@jennifersheehan1866 where is all this bullying happening? I always hear about bullying but I never see it. Mostly I hear people with recast dolls claim they’ve been bullied but I am starting to wonder if it’s a situation that people are butt hurt over “pro artists” just not being ok with the excuses being used to rationalize the purchase of a knock off. Cost is no excuse, imo.
@UCCtW3NG3k1cX-RhwO7nezaw I wasn’t trying to sway you. I just don’t agree with you. That’s my opinion too. ✌🏼
@@RebornHygge Considering I saw a video that someone had to take down because someone told them to kill themselves because of them doing a review their not "butt hurt". I have my opinion and I'm allowed to have it. Why do you think The Doll Circle had the long disclaimer? So, that people would know and not bully others. Look up videos on RUclips and read the comments if you want but bullying someone and telling them to kill themselves just because they have a different opinion is bullying and isn't okay. How would you or others feel if someone said that to you/them? I know I wouldn't feel too good about it. Take care.
You are a very nice person and I thank you for your honesty. However I have to say that this current trend of using influencers to advertise 'bootlegs' of niche collector products has me worried. The issue of recasts goes deeper than what most of these "pros and cons" videos cover. Before mass industrialization and the current era of plastics, toymakers used traditional methods for sculpting, assembling and painting their dolls. These traditions have mostly been abandoned except for a few niche markets that cater to a very small population of adult collectors, and at the same time innovating by bringing in new designs, concepts and modern materials. While I'm not a dollmaker myself, I am a sort of part time collector and I build traditional dollhouses as a hobby. I feel pretty "safe" in my particular niche knowing they will never be able to print traditional wooden dollhouses and try to distribute them on a mass scale.. but I can empathize 100% with my fellow artists that have their work stolen and copied. What saddens me mostly is that in the current age of social media these 'bootleg' products end up being advertised for even more than the work of the original artists, what used to be a niche hobby over 15 years ago is now plastered all over pinterest, instagram, youtube, etc. People have no context to understand where these works came from, they just think the dolls look pretty and a quick google search will provide them plenty of links to purchase them off ebay or aliexpress. And thus the machine that fluels intelectual property theft keeps churning, with some coming up with justification for their purchases post hoc. I'm not even angry at anyone in particular, except perhaps the people that knowingly exploit cheap and sometimes even child labor to fuel the consumerism of the west... I just wish people would stop and think about this for a moment, and ponder the 'cost' of the product not just on their own wallet but on others as well. Artists are not 'gatekeeping' anyone by putting their work out there for a price that is fair, and they don't deserve to have their work being ripped off just because people love it and it's popular (ie. Fairyland).
Totally agreed! Exploitation to fuel consumerism happens in all industries, not just the microcosm of the BJD world. It is NOT OK.
You Look like christina aguilera 😅
Except not fat
@@dwhite3937 Christina is not fat wth
These dolls aren't made in plastic are made in resin, this is a mold recast from Fairyland BJD
I love the new logo and I'm definitely a bjd lover and follow instagram photos but can't afford one. Monster high was the closest i came to owning something similar.
What's this particular company that I'm feeling is the one that contacted you because they've contacted other people. This trying to company has actually tried to trademark the companies names that they originally actually belong to and try to use them as their own even though they have deliberately bought these dolls from the original company. And recast them in cheaper material and are selling them at a smaller price. So they are legitimately taking an actual real doll from the real company and casting it themselves and faster quantities and that's why they're selling it for cheaper. At the extremely touchy subject like you said because of the fact that these dolls are hand casted by order. A whole bunch of them are not made at a time they are only made when an order is made. They are very customizable and that's why their prices the way that they are. They're not just some Barbie doll that you can go to Walmart and pick off the shelves. I myself am not within the bjd hobby anymore just because of how toxic and can be not just in a sense of recast but and other things as well. Many many people do not support these things just because of the fact that bjd companies are small they're not owned by hundreds of employees. There's only a very small handful of people that work on these dolls and so Blood Sweat and Tears go into these dolls and that's why it's so important to people to educate others on why we do not buy recast dolls. There are small artist companies that have gone out of business because of recast companies taking their dolls and selling them at a cheap price which means that these original companies are losing out on a lot of money. Because people want to be greedy and don't feel that they should have to pay a high price or they are needy and fill the needs that they need the doll now instead of waiting months. Because sometimes it does take months before you get the doll in
Yah I think the sensitivity with recasts is because they aren’t like regular factory made dolls they are made by artists and you made that known. You got a free doll from a company that was trying to trick you but you didn’t fall for it and we’re able to use it to get the information out there. You can use that doll to practice on if you plan to get a real bjd one day
I cannot believe this! People do review for Recasts now!? I've been a solid senior member of the BJD Community and I feel this sort of stuff is unaccepta - Nah, I'm just kidding. I was just messing around. Please don't post toxic comments. Great video! I really loved the disclaimer. And I really hope the BJD community behaves well
Very respectfully, you might consider showing far more of the doll when you state you're doing a review ( 01:21 ) This video was a whole lot of you, but thats about all. We saw more of the box and paper contents than the doll. Just something to consider. I think its a fair statement to say most of us would have preferred to have the video centered on the doll...like showing it. While you are lovely, that doesn't help with the review. No disrespect intended.
But, she does state, more than once, that a more detailed video review of the doll will follow in part 2.
cant someone review a bjd doll without the drama behind it like the bjd comunitty is so toxic , like i cam get your arguments however, ywall dont half to be rude about it, besides just because some people reviee recastings dosent mean its a bad thing, besides ive never seen anyone helping people or making it easy for people to buy the originals so theres that as well
I just use aliexpress for clothes and shoes for my doll...
The Doll Circle, what camera do you use to record your videos? I'm trying to make higher quality videos like yours.
Just subscribed to your channel ❤ watching you from Singapore hehe
I’m new to bjd world and recently order 3 dolls over 3k lols. But I had found a few recast that caught my eye because they look better to me than the original. Yeah I get it, it hurt the artist, but idk I’m not buying to please people. I’m buying something I’ll like. If a recast looks better, I’m buying! Unless someone is willing to pay for my dolls their opinions don’t matter Lols!
Recasts are usually made using resin, there is different types of resin but there is some recasters who use high grade and it can be very hard to tell them apart.
Recasters nowadays will add thier spin to recasts like fake full sets and such, so for newbies it is hard to understand that they are recasts.
Some recasters have taken into recasting artist cast dolls that are made by very small companies of like 1-3 people and this is where a huge amount of damage is done. Artist dolls are very limited and it is thier livelihood.
So just be aware, compare names, because a minifee is way more than $200
Hi
Sorry but I buy a doll from that shop it came good for me
My favourite doll companies are dream valley, doll chateau, and doll zone. I get them of Alice Collections they are the best dealer.
I LOVE Miracle Doll (although I have none from this company.. yet!), Angell Studio (I have a full AS doll) Ringdoll (because of the wait times for Ringdoll, I only have a head stand from them) and Supiadoll (I only have a head from Supiadoll so far). But yeah, I think those are my fave BJD companies of all time! I am just in love with Miracle Doll though. I think they are so unique and cool looking! Maybe scary to some, but I find they are beautiful in their own way! I hope to buy some heads from them next year... if it is possible for me, I will be totally getting some of their more mature boy sculpts.
I have some Dollzone heads, a Dream Valley body and I hope some day to get a Doll Chateau, they are amazing sister companies! Great choice!
@@agentoffenharel9938 I have definitely had my eye on Miracle doll too, they make interesting dolls. The other companies you mentioned make beautiful dolls as well.
I love doll chateau and doll zone! But I also like realistic companies like SartoriaJ and Amadiz Beauty. I either like pixie stylized or super realistic haha.
@@arianafox365 I mean I mostly get fantasy dolls but I can appreciate a really pretty realistic one too :P
You're an amazing sweet lady :) always stay that way please! 💖💗💖
If the company lied and said it was authentic when its not, why do you have to follow their rules and requests?
She's not. She was fully honest and transparent in this video and like she said numerous times the review is coming in two weeks. Take care and stay safe.
I do not find it okay that people make copies of BJDs like this, most commonly its popular companies like MiniFee that get the recasts made cause they normally range from 370 to even 550 I believe, for the 1/4 scale. Some people buy these dolls with no knowledge of recasts or knockoff dolls and just believe it is second hand when it is not, and they find out when they post online about it and get nasty, rude, or snarky comments from people that don't know anything about the situation. Some people buy dolls with absolute knowledge but they have no other option cause it is not in their price range to spend so much but they want to have a doll. The material is normally not great and there are sometimes major differences between the OG doll and the recast like skin tone or mobility. As per the doll in the video, the doll is not strung very tight or too tight which means that it won't be able to hold the poses as well or that it will be too hard to move. If the doll is to loose there is a fix for that, by simply applying hot glue to the joints with a popsicle stick.
I like these new BJD videos btw, the dolls do seem very pretty, but it is important to be careful and do some research before buying a BJD from Aliexpress or other sites like it. Quite curious to see the second part!!!
you remind me of one of my lost friends i love your energy
I had a REALLY bad experience with AliExpress. A lot of people haven't had problems with that company, but once I ordered a bunch of doll shoes, and they contacted me to let me know that one was out of stock. That's fine, except they refused to exchange the out of stock one for a different pair of the same price, and also refused to refund my money for it. I told them I'd just be happy if they sent a different pair instead, but they wouldn't do that (I suggested a pair that was the same price; it wasn't a single penny more expensive). So then I asked for a refund, and they refused to do that, too. Perhaps it was a language communication issue, but they acted like they were just going to keep my money for that pair of shoes that they admitted were out of stock, and not send me anything in return, and not refund my money, either. I'll never buy from them again. It was ridiculous. Don't know if other people had this issue with them, but dealing with them was infuriating and awful for me.
Probably depending on a seller. Because I was able to change the shoes colour before shipling
Hey if you don’t like this doll then gave it to me ok?
I’m not joking:/
@@ReallyWorst377sameeee
As a person who has just purchased my first doll.
It's the bjd community who has made me coutious of getting into it. I as a Non Binary queer human I go through enough judgement from others who it doesn't concern.
In my opinion people as a whole have no problem buying Robert Batman's which are reprints. If the artists don't want recasts to happen then make dolls that are available in different price points and not only for a few individuals who have such a high disposable income.
In my opinion if I like it I will buy it
Resinsoul? Doll Leaves?? Impldoll??? Akagidoll, BonBon Galaxy, maybe even Popodoll, Doll Family-A, Doll Family-H, Guard Love, Kids Sky, MYOU Doll, Mystic Kids, Island Doll, Huajing Doll, Fatemoons, MagicTime, IMOMODOLL, MILO DOLL, Ao Lingshi, Dolly Zone, True Love, TinyFox, Angel of Dream, and a lot of tinies/YO-SDs from very popular companies, such as Dollzone, Dream Valley and more, can be bought at cheaper prices. My fave of the bunch I just listed off, is Impldoll and Doll Family-H. These companies, along with many others, are decent prices for dolls, with great looking dolls to choose from. I would say, about the same price as a recast 70-80cm doll, that being, in the $400, maybe bit more than that, and also less than that, range, depending on what you buy from which company, what they come with, and how big they are.
Not all prices are in the $1000 or more range, like the SOOM ID75 range is pretty pricy. If you look around, you can find great deals, especially when there are events from the doll companies going on. Events happen quite a lot of times every year, marking the new year, Christmas, spring, summer and more. You could get either, dolls for cheaper at the events, or get a free small doll with your purchase from these events. I bought a legit Ringdoll 75cm body, new, from a dealer, at about $350 due to an event going on, the body was just released and was on sale, about 30% off. Not including shipping, that is. I am from the UK, so the conversion into pounds was even cheaper for me to buy it. That is a really good price for a Ringdoll body, and a big body at that, which costs quite a bit of money, new, directly from the company, with no event going on.
Recasts are getting pricier now, and you could easily get a great legit for the same price as a recast nowadays, barring the extremely expensive companies such as Volks, or the big SOOM boys. If you look for cheaper dolls on ebay, you can find legit ones going for cheap. I bought an Angel of Dream Shi for £90.00 with faceup. I just converted the £90.00 to American dollars. That, right now, is $115.25 at present. Shi is a 1/3, or SD, scale doll. I have bought more on eBay for cheaper than that, legit. But you have to know what is legit and what is not. You have to know what to look out for. So, it is pretty easy to get cheaper legit BJDs that look amazing, if you really wanted to. Just because they are not as expensive brands, like SOOM ID75, or like the LUTS Royal Senior Delfs, or The Voice BJDs, does not make them any less good. It is perfectly fine to get a cheaper doll from a cheaper company, you won't be getting a SOOM Idealian75, but you can get cheaper dolls of that same size too. Doll Family-A being a good option for that size at a cheaper price. Or how about Impldoll's bigger guys and gals? They would be maybe the same size as Iplehouse EID's, or maybe even as big as Idealian72, around, anyway, would have to check the measurements for that. They are amazing too at a cheaper price than Iplehouse or SOOM.
For the price you are getting, Telesthesia & Dragon Doll are pretty good as well. Not the cheapest, but still really good for the size you are getting for the big boys and girls, I would say, average price for a big BJD. You can get an 85cm BJD for about... just over $500 with Telesthesia & Dragon Doll, without faceup, or clothes, or a wig or eyes (although, usually you may get a free pair of eyes with the dolls you buy, not always, but sometimes you do). That is pretty good for the size you are buying, 85cm is big. But they have cheaper BJDs that are smaller sizes too, if you don't have the money for an 85cm doll. 85cm is the biggest they do, so they are the most expensive dolls you can buy from Telesthesia. For an 85cm doll, that is a very good price, if SOOM were to sell 85cm dolls, they would be upwards of $1000, as ID75's are about $900 - $2000 already, depending on what you buy with the doll, if it is the fullset, like, extra heads, and faceup, clothes and everything with it, can go up to $2000, so an 85cm doll that is almost half the price for a basic doll, no faceup or clothes or wig, is pretty good, I would say. 85cm is bigger than 75cm and most companies don't sell that big anyway. I know Dollmore, LUTS and Angel of Dream have big dolls, but most companies do not sell such big dolls, so they are less money usually, 85cm is not that usual of a size to make, it is on the bigger and more expensive side. 40-75cm, you can get cheaper and can average on the cheap side, from about $200-$500, depending on what size you buy, what you buy with the doll, and what company it is from. Resinsoul will be even cheaper than that too.
Yeah that's a recast. I also wish there was more diversity when it comes to resin colors. It's because darker color resin is harder to produce because of the chemical balance something like that. I do wish that 'normal' color tag was just not a thing anymore.
I don't support recasts but I think you dealt with the situation well.The eyes you can move around to make more even they have putty behind them. She seems a bit kicky with wanting to sit but that can happen with very expensive bjds too depending on how tight the stringing is, I'm not sure if you plan to change hands in the video but if you do you should watch a video first, a lot of people use a paper clip to hold the string especially for redressing so not to lose the stringing it can be a bit of a ordeal restringing for the first time.
Okay but maybe it wasn’t misspelled... Ange is french for Angel! Lol 👁👄👁
Yani 28 ohhh good point, never thought to look it up to see if it was another language
@@TheDollCircle I speak French haha so I didn’t have to look it up, but if I didn’t I wouldn’t have thought about it lol.
Where can you buy the legit version of these kind of dolls? Just curious because I've never really been into these kind of dolls.
This doll is a recast Minifee, you can go to the official website here dollfairyland.com/index.php
You are so pretty
I hope everyone is kind to you as well as others in the comments! I appreciate you still making this video and being 100% open. It's a sensitive discussion, but an important one. I actually just uploaded a pros and cons of recasts video today--great minds think alike?
Thank you for the education. I haven't delved into the bjd world, mainly due to price, doll size and lack of diversity.
Oof this most definitely is a knock-off but I'm glad you did research diving deeper into it and I hope that the BJD community doesn't come after you for simply being very truthful but being unbiased. Thank you for making people aware tho, this is what the BJD hobby fears/hates/dislikes the most cause of artists or small companies going out of business;-;
At least you're getting products from ali express my stuff keeps getting lost in the mail and i don't get my refund back i've waisted at least $80
I think you did a great job..I agree with you 100% ..I know some collect all the latest dolls from their favourite artists...It’s good that these serious collectors do that ..But please don’t be rude or unkind when someone shows a cheaper doll.Dont you think they would like to buy one from an artist..To be honest they look nothing like the artist dolls and the clothes not as good it’s thin and poorer material,you can see from the videos .So when someone explains why she’s showing it,I know for a fact that other people who deal with toys have been picked on so bad it’s upsetting.Just remember your privileged to be able to own one or more..Not everyone can,..and you can see these do not take money out of artists pockets ..if they stop selling its because they price above and beyond most people’s pockets ,that’s why
I agree 100% - These dolls aren’t hurting artists sales, I guarantee it. They’re great for people who don’t have the funds to spend $1,000 on a doll. I just don’t like snobby elitist people in any community, and there are tons in the doll community unfortunately.
I didn't think she was being rude. Just honest. But, I respect your opinion and hope you stay safe.
They do recast artist dolls and and they do hurt the artist. Some artist actually stop making dolls and stop selling them because of recasters. But there are cheaper companies that make wonderful dolls that are not knock offs and actually pretty much the same price this fakes. It might not come with an outfit but but u can buy a dress on etsy for BJD for like a tenner. I think one of the cheapest companies is Resinsoul, dollleaves and bobobie. u google them you will see that they have loads of dolls and they quite cute, and no decent collector will look down on u for owning one. If u go to Bjdcollectasy.com you will find a huge list of companies that sell legit dolls. And they all different price range. So yeah not all companies are extremely expensive , and in all honesty i had cheaper dolls, like dollleaves, who pose way better than some of my dolls that are more expensive. So do some research and u can get a wonderful doll for a decent price and support an artist
@@Pinktezka I can’t imagine why people would stop supporting the original artists. Seems like there would be still enough collectors in the BDJ community who appreciate authenticity that artists would be able to continue working and not completely quit altogether.
@@cozmickitten5757 some artists just basically lose any will to make dolls when that happens. It's very hurtful to have ur hard work stollen. I personally know some artists and I have talked to them about it. I myself have been working on a doll that I was gonna sell, but with how things R with recasters, I have decided I never will. In general, from my experience artists, especially independent, dont get that much money from selling dolls, if u take into consideration how many hours they put into it.and in the end, it's just not worth all the disappointment u get when ur work gets stolen.
There are also other angles. Second-hand doll market used to be rather good, dolls would sell fast and that would give seller money to buy something new from the company/artist. now there are so many recasts,(i personally have been scammed twice) that people no longer feel safe buying second hand as much. As a result, some buyers will think twice before buying something when u know it will be hard for u to sell it after.
New fan here💕 I love how honest you are specially recast is a sensitive topic😍💘
Ps. I dont like how people bully a person for buying a recast😔 many people are being discouraged from getting into bjd world when they saw how intense the discrimination is. Instead of "bullying" they should encourage those people who have recast to buy legits.
I saw an issue before when someone new to bjd world unknowingly bought a recast bjd and post it somewhere and she got many negative feedbacks and comments, those people should have just said in a nicer way that its a recast and its "disrespectful" to buy recast in bjd world. They should have educated that person correctly, bullying is never right.
Honestly, I love AliExpress.. just not for their “BJDs” cleaning and crafting supplies, absolutely ;)
Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’ve seen a lot of videos of people being beat up over these dolls and it’s ridiculous. Thank you for keeping it real! Same thing with the $3 doll at the Dollar Store. It’s not new and it’s in every industry! People who buy cheap dolls are not here for artist dolls. They know what they are buying. The difference is so obvious.
I think the reason the ball jointed dolls are not super diverse in their color is because they are supposed to emulate anime Asian characters and that’s why they don’t come super diverse but also I know that you can buy just the doll with no face paint which is a lot cheaper And you can paint it yourself but that’s a lot harder and when you do it that way you can definitely change the color of the skin if you want but it is a long process because you have to have all the right supplies you definitely want to make sure that you have Mr. super clear so that you can set the whatever you decide to do you can basically sell it but if you’ve never repainted at all then that’s definitely something that you would want to really do your research on because the first time I ever repainted a doll didn’t go very great at all I will be straight up honest it turned out to be crap but now I love doing it and people always tell me I should sell my dogs that I repaint and I want to but it’s like I spent so much time repainting that it’s almost like I don’t even know what price even charge because I take a really long time I am a perfectionist and if I was to sell my work it would be really expensive like sometimes it takes me two weeks to finish a doll repaint just because I am a perfectionist and I also love making like doll furniture and stuff like that people tell me I should sell doll furniture to buy I don’t really make it where it’s sellable because I make it strictly for my dioramas so it’s like stationary and I use like cardboard and stuff and I feel like if I’m gonna sell my doll furniture I would want it to be made out of actual wood and like really good materials but yeah and has anyone ever told you that you kind of resemble Gwen Stefani like you’re really gorgeous and I love your channel now you did an amazing job especially for this being your like first ball jointed doll that you’ve ever bought on AliExpress your first thing from AliExpress you did an amazing job and yes people can be very hypocritical when it comes to these dolls and I get it but also I feel like people need to understand that at the end of the day they are just adults and if somebody is reviewing one and it’s not an authentic and maybe they don’t know too much about them but they seen it and they had to have it because it was just gorgeous and they bought it to review it I definitely feel like people should be more lenient because I know people can be very harsh some people can meet just downright hateful and it is a very sensitive topic because people do spend a lot of money like you said some dude spend thousands but they should be able to you know read a situation because these people that act a certain type of way they’ve been collecting these dolls for a long time so they know if somebody is new at it they should be able to read the situation and be like oh OK they’ve never been in this realm before they need to know the ins and outs and that’s what I really liked in the beginning of your video you said that a bunch of people privately messaged you to let you know like hey listen girl and I think that’s awesome that’s why more people that are in that realm need to do when they see somebody that might not know what they’re really getting yourself into or might not know about those dolls they should privately message them or just message them in the comments of another video or on that video and be really nice and explain to them about the dolls do you know teach them so that they know because there is a dollar line that I have been trying to get my hands on for the longest time and I cannot seem to get my hands on them ever and I have literally asked everyone RUclips channels that literally review these dolls and they are the fashion royalty dolls I want one of the male fashion royalty dolls I had asked so many RUclipsrs that review those dolls how do you get these dolls I really want one and everybody is so mean I’ve had people literally say if you don’t know how to get one why do you think I’m gonna give it away the more people that buy them the less t there will be I’ve had people literally say I don’t know figure it out or do your research and I’ve done my research I have a went to their website there’s nowhere where you can purchase dolls anywhere on the website and they don’t have any of the male dolls on the website all they have is the female doll but there’s nowhere where you can actually purchase it off
I personally like the blank unpainted dolls from Alliexprss that I can use my imagination to do them I am just learning to do al of this so the dolls are in my budget incase I completely screw it up lol
Thank you for this video and you are right
I don’t buy recasts dolls but…. You literally bought the worst recast bjd out there 🤣. The first time I bought a bjd was a recast and she was awesome.
Bruh open it already
If you bothered to listen and pay attention you would know that she said more than once that it was a disclaimer video and that the actual video was coming in two weeks which it did. So maybe next time before you get ignorant for no reason and look like a ass pay attention.
Great job 👌😀😀

Thread carefully. The BJD Community are more volatile than the Beauty community.
I think it's good that you are sharing information,so people can make the choice if they want to get a re cast doll are not.I have a friend that collects only re cast dolls. I didn't know much about bdj dolls and i think its great what you've done this video,so people can know what to look for now.
I just can't afford legit ones, so I don't post anything about them or pictures because I know it's fake
Do you ever watch that woman who buys nothing but high-quality resin ball jointed dolls? Behind her, you see so many she collects.
Who? I know Anne Pecaro was one but she stopped RUclips because of all the bullying she was getting due to jealousy just because she had super expensive dolls. She even sold off a bunch. It seems like it really doesn't matter in the BJD community if you buy recast or expensive legit dolls because there is always going to be someone who bullies due to jealousy, hate, or whatever they can come up with to complain about. It's pretty sad people are like that.
I watch that woman, she's a veterinarian, she can afford them.
There are a few who do videos. Some are anti recast, some are kind and dont care where your dolls come from and just love dolls. There are a lot of purist bullies out there.
@@skybluespike8373 I don't want to come across as rude but just because she's a veterinarian doesn't mean you know her finances. I know of veterinarian's that don't make very much. Maybe it's because they work for a non profit vet clinic though.
I also did not mean to sound rude or flippant. I really like her videos and have been watching her for years. But, I didn't take into consideration that she may not be the one that was being referred to. My mistake.
This happens with everything, not just dolls. A youtuber I follow who makes her own clothes found one of her pictures wearing a dress that she made on a knock-off website. All they did was cover her face. Another one found a fake fringe on a website and guess what? They used a picture of her to advertise it! (Mind you, her fringe was natural, not a wig). You just can't win against these huge companies who steal other people's work and ideas and sell you something cheap and very poor quality. With clothes I think it's the most obvious and it's horrible to think that maybe that pretty dress in the picture is available for sale somewhere, but it's buried so deep down that you can't find it through the hundreds of knock-off trashsites who pretend to be selling it. Thankfully, with dolls it's a bit easier to figure out if it's an original or not and the doll community is usually really nice and amazing. Everyone is so willing to answer questions and help people who are new into the hobby. I am glad you are speaking up and doing an honest review despite them having sent you the doll.
im new to the hobbie and i actually dont know if some of my dolls are a recast or not . since their models are only found in aliexpres or in other sites but with the same name, ''brand'' etc. two of mine are etremely high quality, flawless makeup etc , so does someone know if there are actually brands on there (i think one of them is from a brand called shugafairy)
Shugafairy is a well known recast company. The doll sculpts you have are going to be originally, as legits, from many different companies though, recast companies usually have recasts from many different companies and independent artists, all under the same recast brand. But, the recast company shugafairy i have seen going around, along with some other well known recaster companies, so you are right that the recast branding is shugafairy. You doll is a recast of shugafairy's recasting company. But, that isn't the branding and company of the original dolls, their origin will be many different legit companies and artists, not shugafairy.
For the most part, most BJDs on Aliexpress, are recasts. It would be hard to find a legit on that site. A lot of recasters sell their dolls on that site. That is why I stay away from Aliexpress. I go to the dealer Alice's Collections and also the dealer Legend Doll, for most of my legit dolls and doll accessories anyway. Or eBay and also Etsy, Ebay for legit BJDs second hand only, (it would likely be very rare to find new legit dolls on eBay, so if you go to eBay, look for second hand dolls that tell you it is legit, but do not always take that as fact always, without proof some how), I also go to eBay for clothes, and wigs, Etsy for only SOME artist BJD heads, maybe a full doll or head or clothes, or wigs from codenoirdoll on etsy, and lots of clothes and wigs and eyes just in general from Etsy, Legend Doll for legit BJDs and clothes and wigs and accessories, and Alice's Collections for the legit dolls, for the most part, only, maybe a wig and some clothes too, but mostly I go to AC for the dolls. The dealer BJDivas for the legit dolls, and I also like looking at the website for the dealer DenverDollEmporium, I have bought a doll head from Stacy's Pink Ocean too, that is a legit dealer of BJDs as well. I have bought many a doll head from the official LUTS website (they sell their own dolls, shoes, eyes, wigs, clothes, and also sell legit other doll brands on their website too). This is where I go for my dolls, and doll items, mostly. I have bought from other BJD companies too, like Little Monica, before they closed down (they are back with a new website now though). I bought from Leekeworld before too, for a head, many, many, years ago, and some of their wigs too.
I can't say what your dolls original companies are though, without seeing the dolls and knowing the company myself. I do have an extended knowledge of different companies sculpts and styles of sculpting, but I do not know them all. However, there is a chance I could know the original company, if I could see the listing of where you got your doll from, so the shugafairy Aliexpress website listing for your specific doll. But, I doubt youtube would allow the link here so I wouldn't suggest that.
Oh, I forgot to mention the website "BJD Collectasy". That website is for the latest news on different BJD companies, so it tells you what the newest releases are, and all about them. That website has been very informative for me to keep up to date on what releases are going on, by who, and if there are any sales and events on. They only talk about legit dolls and legit sites to visit, so it is a good resource for knowing what is going on in the BJD world. I would highly suggest looking on that website for more info on different doll companies and their releases and the legit sites you can buy them from. BJD Collectacy has been vital for me to gain such knowledge on different doll companies and their releases. Also, checking in on the mentioned BJD dealer sites I said above, helps give me more of a up to date knowledge on the different companies and sculpts around, and gives me the latest news in the BJD world.
She's what they call "kicky"...I believe it's due to being strung too tight? The eyes can be changed...they probably put them in crooked and they are probably cheap material.
The eyes can come loose during shipping. It happens with with the "real" higher end dolls too.
Elvira Keepin’ it 💯! ❤️💜
So this could just be an orginal design. Those are also accepted as well. They did state that they make the dolls themselves.
It's not, it's a Fairyland recast.
Ahh yeah I looked it up. It is
I don’t get the judgment from the community. It’s just silly and petty to judge others for their choices. That’s why people think doll collectors are crazy.
Я так і не зрозуміла про що відео!🤔 Вибачте,але це відео не про ляльку,а про себе-кохану!😒
All I seen was a bunch of negative energy
I really think people shouldn't be buying these recasts because if you think about the person who originally created the bjd should get all the credit not the person who just copied the work. You wouldn't be happy when someone is getting the profit out of your creation and earning more money than you do.
Well hoping the second video is coming up soon soon soon!!!
I’m not very into bjd I’m more into reborn but I think Ali express has given me a lot of scam reborn dolls
i haven't reviewed or collected reborn, seems like ali express is hit or miss. But i warn all that most items are copies or know offs.
I would love to see you review a dollfie dream or smart doll
