Resinsoul has come out with a large doll that has the ears and removable horns of a dall sheep.
Now a much more expensive doll company, Soom, which produces monthly limiteds has done a theme with hooved and horned doll people in the past and there is a minor fluff-up in some forums about RS copying Soom....because as we all know, themes are exclusive.
Only ONE company has the right to make elves and only ONE company has the right to make vampires and only ONE company can make....
The point is, no one on the planet is going to mistake a $1200 US doll for a $200 one. Just the existence of animal horns does not mean copying and the fact that this doesn't even begin to resemble the expensive doll remotely (no hooves, no elf ears), so tossing around accusations of plagerism is rather simple minded. I don't see anyone screaming angrily at Souldoll for creating a centaur when Domadoll has offered ones for years.
As a matter of fact, there are companies that have been offering magnetic demon/goat/pan horns that you can attach to ANY doll for ages. I find this to be ridiculous to think that one company invented the concept.
What Resinsoul did was sculpt their own version of horns and married it with a head with PAN ears which IS unusual. I rather like the ears but have no interest in either the horns nor the doll.....but I still am annoyed with the way some people are ready to cry copyright theft so fast. Horns are quickly moving into the same area that detachable cat ears are in DOLLYworld..hardly uncommon.
What IS uncommon about cat ears...is when they occur on dolls like my Willow and her brother Kutla...because Dollzone did something OTHERS hadn't (and still haven't) and that is ~ remove the human ears. Ironically 99% of the people that see them don't realize how unusual they are until I pull back the hair to reveal....nothing at all. XD...
ANYway..yep it's all a lot of self-righteous bleating in Dollyworld. Same old, same old. ;)

I don't get this idea of theme theft. So you came up with a doll that has horns. Big honking deal. Like there aren't people out there who've made their own horns out of all manner of material. Are they thieves as well?
people disliked the sculpts because they only had the one set of ears? o.0 Now that's just weird. Seriously. One of the reasons that I'd never add cat ears to a regular sculpt is because it looks completely bizarre to me to see 4 ears. Like in the Loveless anime/manga. I always thought that was weird as hell.
The domadoll centaurs are just so darn cute. Dunno if I'd buy one as I've got nothing for him/her and I need that for my dolls.
Tam would pinch me of course....I do adore the artwork but gah...that is one twisted little universe of story telling going on there.
I LOVE catboys...and have a nice collection of manga featuring them and the favorites are ones where the mangaka has decided to avoid the duo ear thing altogether and just give the character a mop of hair that leave you guessing or at the very least...not disturbed by 4 ears :P
I have had a domadoll centaur on my wish list for a looong time but just can't figure out what to do with it. ...which is why I don't have one. But of course...following that logic, why do I have any of my resin army. *face palm*
Annnnd I've officially used up my allotment for the word cute for the rest of the month.
I've also given Lilly the link to domadoll. *Muwahahahahaha* I am the evil enabler.
In all honesty, for that kind of money, I'd get either Quin or Ryzel (Buddy-doll Mars Tough & Iplehouse Akando, respectively) as that's more or less what they go for each and they're 70cm boys.
JADO has been on my list FOREVER and yes...the price. THE PRICE! These are NOT big dolls...that price for something marginally bigger than a puki...um...yeah....ouch.
But there it sits at the top of my wish list. Because you know I need another doll and we ARE talking about 4 legs (and 2 human ones I think)...
YOU are definately evil >D
*Kettle waves to the pot*
Speaking of what you could get for that price...I came to a sudden realization the other day. I have no interest in another SD boy. Kulta is perfect. He will be with me for a very long time. Kai and I are still working on the bonding thing....but oddly enough my girls (and I mean the teenagers) really like him so okay...who am I to mess with doll acceptance?
I have my compliment of Obitsu and 2 Elfdoll SD girls and ...that's enough.
*makes motion of a line in the sand*
ALL of them are ongoing projects anyway, except for Tuuli who is by defination perfect...and Kulta likes her that way :)
Willow is my #1. I don't need another MSD girl, period.
Oddly I don't count the RS or BBB as MSDs for some reason. They live in their own universe of creativity for me and have nothing to do with Willow or the 2 DZ boys. I doubt I will do more than 3 elements though...I've got many other irons in the fire so to speak.
.and...I might add, I have no interst in another MSD boy either...unless DZ coughs up a Mo-catboy. THEN we might have to bend like a wet noodle...but...beyond that I don't need anything more big dudes.
I am going to see if I can behave now....having spent all my Japan monies on dollies. I am going to just play and FINISH THESE DOLLS OFF...see if I can go half a year of just socking a bit away weekly. Maybe I'll decide that little four hoofed thing needs to come home to the elveses... >D
The only other SD dolls I can see in my future are Quin and Ryzel. If I won the lotto and could spend just for funsies, I'd probably get the Ark doll by Unidoll just because I think he's awesome cool.
One of the dolls that's caught my eye is the Dollmore Catish Vnu *sigh*. She would make an absolutely stunning Xinda (Moswen and Kijika's daughter). But, to do that lies madness. At some point, I'd like to get Sarojin (no sculpt has really spoken up for him yet), Jaiseki's lover. And if I get Xinda, then I'd eventually need to get her lover Chane. And... yeah, massive dolly population explosion.
There's also the fact that I don't like the body that comes with Vnu. VERY immature. I've seen bigger boobage on SD male dolls and that won't do as Xinda has noticeable boobs. Yeah, Epoxy can be your friend (and I'd need to use it on her anyway since she's hermaphroditic), but.... I really dislike the idea of trying for a resin match as I'm funny in the way that it'd need to be perfect or I'd be very unhappy.
And OMG! A Mo-catboy would be freaking awesome. Or a Wing/Hong/Cloud. Cloud would be so fantastic as a catboy. I see him as a Siamese *nods*.
I'm sure there is anoter SD doll in my future and it will be another 50cm Obitsu OMG poses like no other doll...but that's when I've a whole bunch of other projects out of the way and am working the Kabuki project. Till then I'm good on the big'un side of things.
Catish is lovely...well named too.
LOL @ the massive dolly population explosion. Yeah...dolls happen. Who knew resin could breed like rabbits?
I don't think there is anything wrong with demanding perfection of your vision with dolls...that is the point of the exersize....to recreate in 3D what you chase around in your imagination.
Oh hell...if DZ came out with a Wing AND a Mo catboy I would be in some serious trouble. I like Wing well enough but have no interest in such a big boy...but as a cat...um...oh boy. A Mo-cat I'd be on so fast it would make Apis' head spin, there at Featherfall.
I'm not getting my hopes up though that they'll do it. *sigh*
I know I could seriously make myself crazy with trying to find a suitable resin match that also had a nice body. And I don't think they sell just the head for that doll so even if I did get her, I'd have a headless body to sell and it doesn't always move at the sped of light when you try to sell something.
I think if there was a Cloud cat-boy, I'd make up a character just for him. He looks so slinky and sly. I bet he'd be a real little shit disturber. Wing would be much more refined, I think. A Russian Blue maybe.
How do they choose to do the cat-boy/girl dolls? They just pop up with them? Votes?
*^__^*
...wishful thinking on my part.
Ahhhh, the siren song of the dolls.
