They used the images from Soom's page for Epidos:

Recasters often seem to post stock images from the original companies' websites in their sales pages. They also often misname the dolls or add extra names or words in the titles to try to grab more searchers.

So glad I decided to asked XD Just by the name of the doll I was looking at, it was already suspisious. Imagine a doll named "SD doll blueberries a BJD doll sd / bjd doll soom dod volks BJD" :| And I checked to see what the original doll's price actually was. And if I found the right one, she wasn't an SD she's an MSD

They had a Pukipuki Pongpong for $120 (recast). The basic one from Fairyland costs $160... :roll:

Definitely report to Iplehouse and SOOM, and any other companies whose stuff's been copied... if they want to, they can take care of it from there...

I can tell you without a doubt that the majourity of the doll sellers on Aliexpress are recast dolls. It's an alternative site to Taobao (where most Recasters hang out) where they can actually charge English speakers more than they would a Chinese speaker. When searching for dolls, I would avoid it.

What a bunch of crooks and frauds!

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product ... 86563.html

"Doll: iplehouse the Ashanti Now new baby, standing in good condition, no leg length, smooth texture, no air bubbles and impurities, quality problems can be returned, and colors to choose from general muscle, whitening, the first card, welcome to the pro to come pick set!Wiped his Brooklyn pad head affixed to send the eyes eye mudThis price does not include clothes, wigs shoes!Make-up pro can contact the owner!"

No leg length indeed! translate: "You buy fake doll! We no cheat you! We no lie! Buy Buy Buy!"

That is all I see. Thumbs down.

This makes me sick. I would love to get an Iplehouse Akando for only $300. I wonder what I'd actually get for $300...probably something really awful, if anything at all. :(

nooo...Akando....i love you...

I wouldn't do it. Even if it wasn't such a bad thing for Iple, I don't trust sites like this with that kind of $$$. That being said if they ever had a Luo on there for $299 I'd be sitting here digging my nails into my thighs and gnawing on my bottom lip till it was raw the temptation would be so damned bad, laugh. :twisted:
