My mom used to do Blythe photography back in the 2000s. She had a rosebud model and she gave her to me when I was in college. She is everythinggggg to me and I can always tell who is cool by who comes over and freaks out about her
These dolls reminds me Kerli and her "Bubble Goth" aesthetic! I love the union of cute and creepy, me, that always loved horror movies and also disney princesses movies. So happy a new video is out! Your channel is a Refuge ❤
Kerali though worked with bjd. I remember the doll artist because she was in the doll groups at the time. You can still find photos and interviews about it.
I think these dolls are reminiscent of shell-shocked warriors more than anything, but I'm certain that thier history will be entertaining. I cannot wait to observe the video. I adore your work so much, Strawberry! You always make me happy 💜❤️
I still have my blythe loves lps doll, weirdly i have the mouse with a bow but the doll itself is the one that comes with a cream pony. I remember not really caring for her, I didn't like dolls at all, but i kept her bc her little white sweater was surprisingly thick and felt really nice compared to my friends barbie clothing. Maybe if I find her I'll put her on my doll shelf and apologize, shes just a little thing afterall
this video is sooo good! i was so surprised when i learned blythe was originally american because i associate her so much with japan. we did her so dirty :( i love how blythe is another example of usa and japan cross inspiration. my first introduction to blythe was thru the littlest pet shop cartoon and then because i used to customize american girl dolls and they share a wig size. her history reminds me of american girl dolls in other ways too, like them both being childlike and a little creepy + the photography and customizing scene becoming the main consumer of the brand!
i love blythe dolls so much i haven't been into dolls for the past couple years because i'm a boy and kids are mean but my best friend is a doll collector and i decided to customize a blythe(it was a rip off i'm a teenager and honestly can't spend that much on a gift) to look like her for her birthday and honestly my fascination with dolls is very much back i think in a few weeks i might start looking for a model to make look like me
I always like pairing my Blythes and LPS together since I think their proportions suit each other. I think if the collab was higher quality then it would have been really successful. I think any other pet figurines make blythes look weird and badly proportioned. I may be the only one who feels this way, but I really hope to find more people who do this.
I still own the lps Blythe doll with the little horse, and I really didn’t like her as a child. But now that I’m older I love her, she’s so unsettling she’s cute
I'm a straight guy and I love this video ! So glad it was recommended ! I got my first Custom Blythe last week .. but now I already own 4 gorgeous and unique customs that were all made by very talented veteran artists ( 3 TBL fakes and 1 original Ob24 ) Im a collector of many forms of Art but Blythe is extra special.. They have an ora about them and those eyes will suck you in for sure 🤩 Super photogenic and so much fun to dress them up in cute Lolita outfits
I love this video! Its so beautifully done and edited! I entered the doll world through Monster High but atm I’m a tad obsessed with Blythe dolls! I really want to save up for a mini me!
This was so helpful! I've been trying to get into Blythe but was intimated by confusing the customs vs original dolls. Your aesthetic and sound design is just so gorgeous and inviting amazing work!!! 🌸‼💫🤍🍃🌻
when i was super little, i read all of my mom's old comic books over and over again (Casper the Friendly Ghost, Archie, Richie Rich, etc). the paper was brown and literally crumbled in my hands. and between the stories there were ads for Hawaiian Punch, Cocoa Pebbles, and of course, Blythe. i wanted Blythe so so bad. i thought she was the prettiest doll in the world and her eyes changed color like magic?? and one of the colors was violet gray? but i knew these comics were decades old. i can't tear out the perforated write-in postcard and send it to the address to get a chance at a free subscription to brand-new Archie comics, and Blythe doesn't exist anymore. i had no idea there was a revival, or i would have begged my parents for a Takara Blythe!
i have always loved blythe. i liked her in lps. i love that the doll mold hasn't changed, same with bratz. if it ain't broke don't fix it! (cough barbie cough). my favorite customs are the ones that change the eyeliner shape tho and the eyelashes.
I feel like I was of the minority of kids who loved the Kenner dolls. Somehow I remember seeing ads about the changing eyes and thought it was so cool. With the 70s style clothes, i adored them but never owned one. I only just recently got my first official Blythe❤
I totally think she could have been more appealing to kids if they didn’t give her such dark, small, and intense pupils; or simply just made the pupils larger. The harshness of the contrast between the iris and pupils really gives her the “I want to steal your soul look” lol ^=^
im so glad the yt reccomended brought me here, this video was so well done and your voice is so relaxing to listen to :> ive been dreaming of owning my own blythe for years but ive been holding off until i can afford the genuine article, this video is just making me long even more for a mini me to dress up :')
🥺 can we get a furby video?? fun fact; furby and blythe share eye chip size so you can buy the same custom eyes for furby or blythe :3 i’d love to hear you talk about furbies as i’m an avid collector :) just an idea, keep up the good work!!
I'm 17 and i remember the 2010s viral photos of the doll I was obsessed but never actually knew anything about her and would just look at photos of her as a kid but with this new attention on her i actually know who she is and I've fallen in love all over again without tiktok I probably would have forgotten about her and would have never known her name I love this video and how cute you and your doll look
I love your channel's vibe tbh, i would normally find these kinds of dolls creepy, but that may just be the opinion of my friend, who's petrified of all human dolls in general, rubbing off on me, haha! The idea of the Mini-Me is so sweet and cute! Now i want one!
I patiently wait for each of your videos ( I found your channel when you only had one video ) but every time I see a new one up I lose composure and start squealing in excitement. If it was anyone else talking about some of these dolls I wouldn't watch it, but I like your style and I do appreciate learning new things, so thank you for putting in so much effort.
I have always been a blythe girly so i was delighted when the coquette girls adopted her into their world, and I was equally delighted watching this video 🎀
There is something my brain doesn't like about any character design where the eyes are so low that they match or dip below the level of the nose; Betty Boop, the MLP reboots, Blythe, Funkos. Don't like the appearance of any of them. HOWEVER, while they are not my cup of tea, I am not a real hater. I do love toys and this was a fascinating deep dive into this interesting doll. I can see how the eye gimmick lends itself to photography as you can have them looking in different directions. The original outfits are pretty cute and the way customizers are going ham on them is amazing. Customizing dolls is super fun. Can confirm. Toys and dolls are a fun, harmless hobby and it's sad that adults get so much flack for being into them.
Thanks to this video I found out that I have a LPS Blythe! Recently a discover the doll but I never realize that it was the same that I had since I was a child! This made me very happy 😸💓 Edit: just to clarify, I have this type of Blythe 21:21
I remember as a little girl around 2004 or 5 i saw a collectors magazine at the grocery store with blythe and forced my mom to buy it. It wasnt until another 10 yrs i saw her again on tumblr i realized i didnt make her up. I still dont own one but i will eventually ! Little 10 yr old me will be so happy.
Ok so I watched this video 3 times, one of the viewings I made my boyfriend watch in full so he would understand why I'm about to buy this creepy a** doll😅💖. Also just really love the liminal vibes and the Animal Crossing sounds🥹 I'm obsessed with your style of video!!! I also was debating between an Icy doll and a Takara doll I found at a local vintage toy store for $200😭 but after the video I'm 100% getting an Ali Express, I can actually get the exact color and style I want that way! Also also, I went and hunted down at a vintage mall for your LPS kitty, which is my first and only LPS I'll buy 😅
Love doll collecting but always stayed away from blythe dolls due to the uncanniness, but watching this video I think I can understand why people like them so much. There's something creepy yet cute about them. 😄 I remember when I was in high school and getting into lolita, ofc being a kid I couldn't dish $300 on 1 dress so I would opt for the off brands. Wish people would stop being so judgmental about it. Yes ethically it's not supporting the original artists, but let us poor people enjoy and live our best lives too.
Omg please make a video about Bratz or continuing the talk about the barbie movies. I would love to see your input and opinions about them. I love your channel and I can'twait for the next video💓
i have one blythe coming with a lps but i dont like dolls, i buy it only for the pet and find her ugly, so i never play with her 😭i dont where she is now😭
Wow! You truly did an excellent job! I'm a Blythe collector since 2007, and I'm so impressed by how well you covered so many facets of the Blythe world! And I love your doll - she is so, so pretty!!! Love her hair and outfit!!! Great video - I REALLY enjoyed it!!! ♥️👏
why cant Hasbro or Good Smile sell this in stores for a decent price?. This seems highly desirable but people collecting this more likely have bootlegs. this doesn't feel to far from something i could find at Hot Topic or Spencers. i guess the eyes make it more difficult to make than other fashion dolls but i wouldn't think it be a lot more harder
Wauw what a informatieve video i have 2 dolls from Ali and chlothes self made and Vinted and i love them i have a friend who is Pullip collector Bud we have doll meetings how Manny blythe dolls do you have? ❤
