The topic of recast BJDs continues to provoke heated discussion; witness the entire Tumblr<\/a> devoted to pro- and anti-recast people slagging each other under the cloak of anonymity. The creativity with which pro-recast persons justify their unfair and illegal actions boggles the mind.<\/p>\n

In other news, I was trawling the Web the other day, looking for any IOS Infernales available on the secondhand market. I came across the following Web site, the address of which I have cropped out because I am not giving them any business whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Before I clicked into this site, I thought that it could perhaps be legitimate, a site selling secondhand BJDs, perhaps. However, the absurdly low price of $69.00 [the head cost $256.00 including s\/h on IOS’ Web site when it was in stock] gave me pause. My suspicion grew when I saw them reusing official photos.<\/p>\n

As soon as I ventured onto the product page, I saw the seller’s promise to match Soom grey skin. Then I knew I was dealing with a recaster. Infernale was never offered in grey, much less one that perfectly matches Soom’s grey.<\/p>\n

The seller helpfully confirmed my suspicions by explicitly stating that the dolls sold are, indeed recasts.<\/p>\n

Thanks for clarifying. Now I know to stay far, far away from you. :p<\/p>\n
