>>6248204>It's pretty financially irresponsible to recast parts- it's expensive for casting materials.It really depends on the doll in question and how good you want your recasted part to be, if or how you get access to the part you want to copy to "repair" etc.
I bet recasting a friend's Williams head for your SD17 body is a lot cheaper than trying to get the real head, without having to feel bad that you gave a recaster money.
As said, it's just a really shady thing because you open that door for people because pro-recast people already latch onto every stupid excuse they can get.
I did recast some parts myself, but for extreme modding purposes (i.e. so extreme, the base part is barely visible anymore) and if the doll gets sold, the buyer gets the complete and legit doll and my part goes into the bin. It also always was a boring part like an upper arm piece.
I just didn't want to destroy a piece on a doll I might not keep.
>It's an old MSD. The more complete I ne is missing ears (literally-they had no ears. Holes in the side of the head)Didn't you say the mostly complete one is missing the headcap?
If it's the ears, and it's an MSD, I assume it's one of those ye olde Volks dolls with changeable ears? Highly doubt those never ever crop up at all and is worth buying a full new doll for instead.
And what is the other doll missing?
I can understand what you are going for to a certain point.
At least when a) the part stays with you and b) you do not copy something to make something you otherwise wouldn't own at all.
Your case does not meet b) to me, because making yourself two dolls instead of one (even though I still don't get how incomplete doll 2 really is and if all that was necessary) is really a little "eeeeeh" to me.
For you it's just a part, the next person makes himself a second MNF because they already got an unused event head/parts and can copy a body from their first one.
