Sorry for the late reply!
Also, your little guy sounds super cute! Good luck with the sculpting and the rest of your project!
I'm fine with recasts, but I do know they're a sensitive subject in the BJD community.
I have mostly playline fashion dolls (Rainbow High, Bratz, Barbie, MH..)
I do have some American Girl dolls and some collector dolls.
What type of dolls do you have other than your beloved BJD?
