I thought the same, at first, but then I spoke to them and asked a lot of questions. This was a doll gotten second-hand from someone else. They thought she was single-jointed, when clearly her arms are double-jointed, and thought she was 1/3 scale when she's clearly 1/4. I honestly think the person who I got her from wasn't really into the hobby.
The quality isn't that of a recast, she's extremely well-made and the right color for her resin, especially since I can tell where she has yellowed ever so slightly. She also has the dings and minor chips of a well-loved second-hand doll. I honestly think the person who sold her just doesn't know what they are doing. They didn't seem too keen on keeping track of their doll's creator companies.
This isn't the first time I've gotten a second or third hand doll where the person didn't know what it was because they weren't really into the hobby. I get "rescue" dolls from folks who pick up a cheap second-hand doll because they think it's cute, realize they aren't as into it as they thought, and want to get a bit of their money back. Nolan, for example, was one where they weren't sure what he was. The person I got him from had picked him up because they thought he was cute, realized he wouldn't do a darn thing they wanted him to, and promptly boxed him up again before shipping him off as soon as they could. And he's from a doll that no one wanted to re-cast because he is a bit of a clunky boy with limited mobility and no demand. XD
Sometimes folks don't do their homework, and then end up just shipping the doll off afterwards, sadly.
