Honshu Posted September 16 Hi There, Newbie here, just trying to figure out who manufactured this head. I dont know if it is a recast, a 3D print, or hand made. Any input will be great and what value if any? https://imgur.com/gUdm6yx Please see link, as for some reason I am not able to post pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oculae Posted September 16 Looks like it's Chinese, the marking seems to read 渡. Probably from a smaller doll brand or an indie artist, I don't recognize it from the inner marking alone. Do you have any pictures of the front? It looks cool! Please ping me when replying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honshu Posted September 16 Hi Oculae, Thank you for your help today! Really appreciative. https://imgur.com/gallery/dho-bjdtoo-gfGwWiD#1nvxPEK Please see link for the picture of the front of the cyclops! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oculae Posted September 16 Oh wow, I've never seen anything like that! What a cool head! Yeah, she's definitely by an indie maker, probably cast resin given how smooth she is, and that's a custom faceup for sure. I doubt she's a recast (recasters usually go for big or recognizable BJD brands to make copies they know will sell well, not indies) but I have no idea who made her. You might want to ask around in resin-focused spaces like the Lovely Everyone forum or the Big BJD discord , there's a few people there who know about the Chinese side of the BJD market that might be able to identify her. Or I could ask if you want! I'm really curious too, I love her sculpt. 😄 Please ping me when replying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honshu Posted September 23 Hi Oculae, Did you get a chance to ask around and find out more information about the head? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oculae Posted September 24 I asked in the BJD discord and never got a reply - either nobody there knows, or the people that might know weren't online at the time. 😅 Maybe if you join, you'd have more luck asking? It's a public server! https://discord.gg/bjd Please ping me when replying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honshu Posted September 27 Hi Oculae, Thank you for your attempt in trying to find out more for me. I dont really like the discord community, had too many bad experiences with it. Till I see any improvements on filtering and security and especially the admins. I am staying away from the the discord groups for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
