Looking for opinions...

Postby Mary Kathryn » Mon Dec 20, 2010 9:04 pm

Do y'all think this is a bona fide Customhouse St. Mina or a copy? St. Mina is a grail doll for me but I'm suspicious of the brand new look of the doll, the "movie doll" account name, the fact that the make and model aren't listed and just a gut feeling. Opinions?

Hmm it looks more like a Dollzone or a Resinsoul. (I'm no expert but I've done my homework.) It looks more like a Dollzone without the faceup.

Well, if you look at their feedback, they're sold three and received feedback for two of the exact same doll/listing. I suspect that they might be recasts.
Where did all these 1/6s come from?!

I think it looks a little fishy. I'm not sure if it's real or not. But my gut says no. :(

St. Mina doesn't smile does she? And her nose is more unique. Maybe she's modded?

Found a St. Mina head for sale on the DoA marketplace. Ya...not as smiley. The noses are close. The eyes, which is what I thought looked pretty similar after comparing to the actual head aren't as close as I thought. And $310 for a doll that sells in the after market at over $800 at least? If it's too good to be true then it probably is. Yeah, slightly modded recasts is what I think too. Ah well. :lol:

The whole "only used for photographs" part makes me suspicious. Who uses unpainted dolls for photographs? And then who would have three of the same doll for photographs?

All around I'd say it's a seller to avoid.
