>>9579699Not really a morally grey zone to be honest. I don't like Danny; he's not entitled to my money, and I am not entitled to his dolls.
So why would I buy a fake of his dolls if I don't like him? To be vindictive? That's kind of shit. Because I like the doll? Does my like of the doll outweigh my dislike of Danny? Then Danny and his employees deserve money because I am buying something from them.
Comparing to anime piracy also doesn't work, again it's comparing small business to big business. Anime is a BILLION dollar industry. Lots of doll companies probably dont even hit $500k a year profits.
You're assuming they aren't already offering at a low profit margin. As
>>9579411 said, lots of recasters dont take a lot of care wrt safety, so when you're saying "offer me a cheaper doll like the recasters do", you're saying "put your health at risk so I can have a cheaper doll," "pay your employees less so i can have a cheaper doll" etc.
>>9579703No worries friend. I definitely recommend you take the time to seal the headcap, and practice thinning your paints to a comfortable consistency and then practice drawing nice thin lines on that headcap. Thin, long lines are hard and require a lOT of practice and muscle memory, so don't be discouraged if you dont get it right away. If youre gonna use watercolours, just wipe the first batch of lines off with water and try again. Please post an update as well!
