Good news!! 8/2/23

This morning I woke up to an excited text saying we'd found a bunch of the Dollfie Dreams, including one I wasn't aware of that had been delivered shortly before the theft. They identified the lot through some unique flaws, and while some had sold already, we are in the middle of a buyback for some of the remaining ones. (Keeping the platform and seller to myself because I don't feel right just yelling their name on tumblr. They're sweet enough to work with my friends to get the dolls home in a way they can afford and that's what matters; suffice to say it is a reliable platform and they have generous terms and good feedback.)

Jim is rattled now that he's under the microscope--in his own words, "if [he] had to give back everything [he] was told was stolen, [he] would be out of business"--and likely in a hurry to offload what he's still got that's saleable. (There've been some related local incidents, I'll update y'all on the details once it's resolved.) So keep an eye out for anybody listing dolls they can't identify, or are labeled but have (?) next to the sculpt name, which is how he labeled the hybrids he listed initially. Some will be headcapless or missing bodies/parts or have mismatched hands, as he broke and disassembled a bunch, too. Appearing with a simultaneous lot of furbies is another potential tell.

The vinyls are officially accounted for minus the MBD Nicolas, who does not appear to have been in the lot. We're mostly just looking for resin and heads now.

They finally have legal rep beyond just the property law end of things, and the unofficial position is that things will move more swiftly in light of recent events. Couch surfing unfortunately eventually has an expiration date, and theirs is the 8/31. If anyone would like to help out with moving costs, @sweetsugarpain is offering tarot and related services as incentive, and I have clothing and wigs left over from this year's DCD swap on offer.
