I have a few bjd's, and they are all from the cheaper end of the scale. Between the exchange rate and the shipping (I'm in Australia and there are no local sellers), the really nice dolls are just out of my price range.

I was a member of Den of Angels for a while, and whilst I personally never had any problems, the friend who invited me warned me that it could be quite elitist and nasty, and anything about recasts was totally banned.

I'm not a very creative person, so I'm in awe of what people can do with their dolls, and the clothes they make.

OP here

I feel you. Honestly, I don't even look too much into BJD's more "technical" side and I kind of envy those people who see a faceplate and go "oh, isn't that the Limited Edition _ in _ scale which sold 3 units back in 2011?" because I think I'd go crazy in anger/jealousy if I could ever recognize so many models and not own any of them, lol. I'd rather go "hey that's a cute doll, nice faceup, great posing" and only have a vague understanding of models and prices.

Well... yeah. I like browsing it and there are nice people too, it's... not as bad as the anti-recast confessions blogs, that's just scary to me. People say shit like "eww, why did they buy such a CHEAP legit?" and it's pretty bad. Not to say the pro-recast communities and their "whatever, just let artists starve!" are any better.

Right?? As I enjoy sewing and painting myself, I see some works and am in awe. It's amazing what people manage to do in their own homes. :) Not just flashy costumes though, I also like seeing dolls that just feel like a miniature of a real person (...or a real anime character more accurately) and think, wow, that's meticulous work.
