Sorry for the late response. We had a bit of a hospital scare with my Dad and I kept thinking I could respond when I got home, but was pretty exhausted.

You are more than welcome to send the photo to any of the mods! Whether it works for or against, I have always been a huge supporter of information! ^___^ Also! I went back to my folder of photos for that meetup and low and behold... I discovered I had one more photo of the comparison! Forgot I had taken it. I remembered taking quite a few of the top down photo, so thought that's all I had. The second photo was to show off how different the back bend was, and be a more close-up comparison of the torsos.

Also, if they would happen to need more close-ups of the Miro body, I am more than happy to supply them. ^_^

Yay another pic!

I can see similarities, but it doesn't look like an outright copy to me. As mentioned before, the Resinsoul body looks more like the DT one. (Imo)

Sent the pictures, and since the mod I know is a reasonable person I did not mince words with her. I believe I dropped the f-bomb a couple of times with regards to DOA mods having their heads up places on their anatomies.

Sadly, things like this are the reason I packed my dolls away and left this hobby . . . Too much going on. Now I'm a 1:6 scale collector. Much less drama.

Thank you, Misty!!! I really hope those photos get them thinking again. And maybe they'll lift their ban on the 70cm body. (The 40cm I totally understand, it doesn't even look like a Mirodoll doll. Completely not their style)

Yea, I can see the 40 cm doll. Their MSD dolls have traditionally been really small MSDs, not like this one. But there's just no way the 70 cm is a copy, not with that backbend in the DT. The belly-button isn't even in the same place!

And yet, didn't Mirodoll already respond with "We're sorry, it was a mistake, it won't happen again" and pull the body? If they DIDN'T copy and modify this body, then why did they apologize and pull it rather than try harder to defend themselves? Post their own detailed comparison pics, ect?

Also, it wasn't JUST two bodies. There were other bodies mentioned, not just those two. An Iplehouse KID body was one of them, I recall being mentioned (or it might have been the BID body. Or both. I'd have to reread the thread). But it was because of the 40cm body AND the K/BID body that the mods started taking harder looks at the others that had been under suspicion.

Look, I'm not saying the mods were right to ban Mirodoll entirely or that they were wrong. But I think they did what they thought best in order to keep within the guidelines of the forum. If Mirodoll DID copy and modify three or four bodies, then the mods definitely had the right to ban them. I'm sure they didn't take it lightly, either, despite people's opinions. It CAN'T be easy to run a forum that huge. I know I sure wouldn't want to do it! It'd be like a full-time job trying to wrangle that circus into some semblance of order, and you don't even get PAID for it. More power to them, I say!

You don't have to agree with their decision, that's fine. But, friends or not, I think emailing them and dropping F-bombs and telling them their heads are up their asses wasn't the most ... I dunno ... mature or professional way that could have been handled? :roll:

Okay, my opinion might be unpopular but, there it is. *shrugs* I'd rather not see any sort of a witch hunt starting up on this forum. There are more than enough of those that go on over at DOA.
