The hype about the so-called “fakes” boiled up that much because people realised the fakes nowadays look cuter than the Blythes. The hair is always better. All the wonderful talented artists who are able to customise the dolls to a standard better than the Blythes. I buy the artwork. 😊
Because this fake is associated with a brand and sold out quickly, I wonder how many people bought it to scalp/resell at a later date for a big profit. Also many customizers buy fakes so not to destroy a legit doll which makes sense to me, but upon selling, it should be disclosed as a fake.
I wish I could deal with big cities because this looks amazing! I also looked up Blythecon and that seems awesome, but too far for me to travel...though I can put the money I would have spent going there towards a legit Blythe doll...I have my eyes on a couple. The Faery looks amazing!
It's nice to see someone who collects stock Blythe who doesn't criticise people who do buy the fakes. Some who collect stock/legit dolls are very judgemental of anyone who has a fake. I'm not sure how the name blythe can come away from the fakes because they're a specific style of doll. But it should always be stated that it's a fake/factory doll when being sold. Sadly some people get bullied out of even collecting because of the more opinionated legit Blythe collectors.
This doll is so gorgeous, better irl than the promo pictures 😅! I didn’t get her because I prefer other style but her hair ❤ I love this colour!! I wish as she is an anniversary doll they would give her sleeping eyes to match Juliette ‘s history. It would have been even cooler Congrats on your new doll 😊
im new to the blythe world, but from what i''ve been reading, there's a lot of collectors who get upset when legit dolls are customized. UO was def wrong for this, an sounds like the artist had an in and no questions were asked.
Congratulations she's so cute. The theming looks like it was done perfectly. I also have a pair of those shoes which I got on my Rouge Noir from 2002 though mine are clear with silver glitter within. She's going to look fab in whatever you dress her, I just love the hair colour.
I like the fact that you matched your own hair to go with the doll - that's real dedication. I find the idea of a Blythe doll based on Juliet Capulet a little bit odd, and calling her Juliet's Choice feels even more grim (although it could have been worse - it could have been Sophie's Choice). That aside, I do like the look of the doll and the quality of the two outfits looks amazing. She is also giving me Lady Panacea vibes - I think it's the pale complexion and the middle parting. They definitely make a real effort with these anniversary releases which is great to see.
Haha! Mine is less intentional - more of a reddish brown fade XD She's definitely an unusual choice of inspiration, but personally I like it - nice to see JM being inspired by something other than Alice in Wonderland for a change! 😅
Yeah, I agree - it's already quite hidden by her fringe, so a brighter colour would have popped more. Personally I would have loved to see her with a light blue!
Congratulations hunny, she is gorgeous. Rosary beads can be worn around the neck, but it’s not something I’ve seen often in church. Regarding her shoes, I have a pair of them, and they came on Urban fairy Ellie. I use them on a doll all the time, I find them valuable to have. I sometimes brush doll hair out of the box I use doll brushes (less teeth than wig brush). I love her hair colour, in fact your hair colour looks similar at the moment. I didn’t buy Juliette, so I enjoyed watching your unboxing.
Ah thank you so much! I wasn't sure if a rosary was something you're only supposed to hold. I do like these shoes, they didn't fall off once when I took Juliet out for photos in them. I didn't know they were on Ellie too - I'd be happy to get them in more colours! Thanks for watching x
Wow, her stock quality is such a departure from the earlier releases. Beautifully made. Love the outdoor shots amongst the Lavender. Getting FOMO! Thanks for another fab video ❤
@@amyfox9659 I feel this! I had to save up for my first Blythe for a whole year 😫 She was worth it though! I still have her and she still feels so special 💖
I've just got back into collecting after being very into the hobby back in the early 2000's-2012 - I have to say I'm super shocked by the acceptance and the amount of fake dolls in the hobby now. How is this allowed?!
Oh how I love this! Every detail is perfection - even down to the pink and white crocheted tablecloth on the first scene under the box! Thank you for your lovely video ❣️❣️
What a wonderfully empathetic and informing video! I have a random question, I accidentally bought a dress intended for Blythe dolls but it was actually a pattern with the materials included. Is there a service out there that would be willing to sew the outfit if I sent and paid for the service?
Goldie is so cute! Back when she came out I thought she was too expensive for being so unKENNERy, so I passed. But I eventually fell in love with her quirkiness and happily payed up for her. You are going to love dressing her and her hair always looks so chic and silky!
Ooh Golide! Congratulations! I love BLs so much! I've owned Aztec, Rosie and Kozy in the past, but never Goldie- she's on my wishlist though! Amazing that she turned out to be nrfb! Incredible find. You absolutely did the right thing unboxing her though- she needs to be free after 20+ years in that plastic prison lol
This was such a fun video! I live in the southern states in the US so not many doll shows going on, especially ones that would have Blythe dresses. I wonder if they sell the dresses to international customers
Some definitely do! Usually through Etsy or Instagram etc. There's also lots of fantastic Blythe customisers and clothes makers in the USA too - some of my personal favourites are SleepForever, Button Arcade and Endangered Sissy. I would buy more of them if postage weren't as much as the dresses nowadays! Thanks for watching! <3
@@tutesweet3782 omg! Thank you so much for the info! I collect Jenny/Licca dolls and pop them on a Blythe body and usually dress them in Blythe dresses so this is amazing for me! Time to go windows shopping😁💖
New sub here, Congratulations on your Goldie!🎉 I love my girl and she was definitely a grail for me as well! I remember shopping at FAO Schwartz and seeing all of them on shelves and it was truly magical!! 😍💖🥰♥️
I feel like this take is overly gatekeep-y of who gets to be a Blythe fan. Some people like customized doll in this style. Most people know that they aren't on actual Blythe doll bodies. They sell for that much because making a custom is actually a lot of work. Getting a "real Blythe" is actually a lot of money as the only "real" dolls are the Kenner ones. The Takara dolls are "Neo-Blythe" and are incredibly different. Personally I like all styles, TBL, Kenner, and Takara dolls are all beautiful imo. TLDR: it's not that deep
I first learned about Bylthe Dolls from Strawberry Sprite today and I love them so much.🥺 I'm currently trying to reclaim my childhood due to abuse and I think they are so much prettier than the toys of my childhood. Would you recommend a fake one or an actual Blythe Doll that I would need to save up for?>~< I'm very new to collecting but excited to learn and collect a few but meaningfull things.(*´ω｀*)
Oooooh! I'm so glad you unboxed her, so you can play with, and dress, and pose her all kinds of ways. I adore funny dolls, just like I do a frumpy cat. I'd love to see her dressed in different things. Thank you so much for the video!!! You're always delightful. <3
