Yall may have posted on here but I have only been a part of the dolly world three years and two ( almost 3) on doll fan so by no means had I read all to know on doll fan when I bought the OOAKS . I don't think it is fair for anyone to expect me to throw thousands of dollars away for mistakes Tina made nor do I think my integrity should be questioned.NadiaK wrote:You would probably be better off just selling them as ooaks. I think you would have a better chance of selling them this way. Anything that is reproduced now after everything has come out will be much more difficult to sell in my opinion.Create A Baby~Tanya wrote:What I think is sad is for those of us that purchased osaks with rights to reproduce them for BIG $$$ and because she has ruined her rep people are saying they will never buy her kits again making it hard for those to want to reproduce the pre purchased ooaks they have had for year while they had made other kits first...
I still have some ooaks I purchased from Tina over 2 years ago with the intention of having them made into silicone and vinyl
1. Tina has been paid by me so she no longer makes money on my sales..
2. I think my integrity speaks for it's self .. I pride myself on integrity .
3. I made special offers on my dolls to the ladies that I knew had been taken by Tina and I also donated $5,200 of the money I earned off of the sale of my silicones to
The March of Dimes in October.
4 At this point between the money I have donated and the money I have paid for the rights ,the sculpt, to have them mold and cast I am by NO means making big bucks... between the clothes, the fees , the rights, the sculpt, the mold and cast on a $3200 sale I brought home $700....... Yes $700 is a nice amount but nothing like the $3200 it looks like I am making ... Plus it takes a lot of hours to make these babies .
I understand all you ladies have a right to your opinion but I would appreciate my integrity not being questioned because I can not imagine any of you throwing away thousands of dollars just to prove a point . I totally understand if you do not want to buy my babies or say anything encouraging on my post ..that is your choice.
I know my name was not mentioned and I did appreciate it .. After reading all the post I just felt the need to justify myself.
Thank you for posting what you did Dana. I always wondered how you produced the silicone dolls you do...which by the way are amazing!
