rosslynpaladin:rosslynpaladin:[ID: a ¾ view portrait photo of a ball jointed doll, a Unoa Sist face on a Fairyland Minifee body, all in peachy resin. She has a purple wavy wig, purple eyes, and a purple top on, and her face is painted to look like she has on heavy mascara over a more natural looking makeup style. To the right of her is text, saying “ When you buy a Ball Jointed Doll, be sure it’s a real one. Knockoffs recasted from real dolls harm the hobby and devastate the artists who put their hearts into these art pieces. it’s not ‘like buying a knockoff purse’. There are no ‘big companies’. Tiny teams of artists handcast every doll, and many quit when their work is stolen. Avoid eBay. Check with the dollmaker to be sure your seller is a legit vendor. If a seller is asking far lower than the maker’s price, it’s probably a scam- a recast. PLEASE avoid recasts.” end ID]Please reblog this to get the word out to new hobbyists about not destroying the livelihoods of artists and their will to even bother sculpting anything new.I know too many artists who have either quit sculpting or wouldn’t bother to start producing their unique and impressive dollsbecause their art has been stolen or they’ve seen others’ dolls recasted by bootleggers looking for a steal and a quick buck.Don’t be duped by thieves. Buy Legit. -- source link
