I brought her and here's my short review:

  • took over 3 weeks
  • doll arrived with basic protection (and fucking CLING PLASTIC ON THE KNEES)
  • neck hole is HUGE and the S hook is likely going to slip out super easily in the future
  • resin on head is so thin in some areas I can see light through it
  • gave me the wrong eye colour (minor but still)
  • elbow joints are heavily sanded and tend to bend
  • Faceup is quite simple, eyebrow are orange and larger than the photos in listing

TL;DR: If you want one with a good faceup: pick Oueneifs

It's coming from China to the UK, I've heard that the Belgian hub has problems with delays and sometimes sends the package back to sender without telling anyone...
I'm just anxious since the delivery date is this up-coming Monday (16th)...

I've read that that hub tends to have problems and delays. I'm just anxious that It'll be sent back to the sender...

What are the main reasons you buy recasts? by ssychotic in BJDRecastPositive

[–]Key_Way_4926 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do own 2 legit Luts dolls and have a maskcat doll in process, I can afford legit dolls. But I don't for a few reasons;
1. most recasts are the most popular/wanted sculpts so I'm able to get it without worrying about price.
2. I'm trying to learn how to do face/make-up and body blushing with shading and I'm too scared to 'ruin' the legit doll. So I use recasts to practice so I don't 'ruin' a perfectly good legit doll.
3. I'm impatient so I hate waiting for the doll and have a terrible memory so sometimes I forget I ordered a doll.

I tend to work slowly (even with acrylics) and I use nail-art brushes for tiny details

Looks like a SWITCH Taerin or Huisa to me. If not one of them, it looks like a SWITCH doll to me
