What's the quality like? I was also curious about BJD but it's an expensive hobby and I don't think I can afford to get super into it.

I would recommend Resinsoul-- they're less expensive than many recasts, and while they don't have great photos of some of their older sculpts, the dolls are really charming and versatile. I know there are other less expensive companies, I just don't have personal experience with them. My Resinsoul girl stood really well right out of the box (though her arms could probably have done with a restringing), and once she was painted up, she got a lot of attention at meets/cons.

(As a side note--Recasts aren't mainly controversial bc of a lack of quality control-- it's the kind of thing that artists stop selling because of. It's not really the same as buying a bootleg of something from a large company.)

Thanks! I really know zilch about the hobby. It's just that they look so pretty and I have minimal artistic skills so I'd hate to spend a lot of money and then mess one up. :(

I have a small plastic hinged fashion doll with a head recast from a BJD. I didn't know this type of bootlegs even existed until trying to find out more about her! I assumed she was original or a copy of another 1/6 fashion doll. I never would have suspected she was copied from a 1/4 BJD. I am not in the BJD community because I prefer hinged dolls currently, but I wonder about the impact of this type of bootleg, cheap and small hinged dolls with hands or heads copied from BJD. I love small fashion dolls and thought they were a separate world from BJD and larger hinged vinyl dolls (which I also adore). I've seen other small plastic knockoffs of BJD and suspect a couple other dolls of mine may have recast pieces, though I do not know which dolls they might be copied from. If anyone has info on these types of doll please feel free to share, they fascinate me.
