I love Blythe Dolls, all Blythe Dolls. They are so cute, so fun and so whimsical! I say all the time that Blythe's are so WHIMSICAL that they can wear ANYTHING and look cute in it.

Those Big Heads. The Big Eyes, the Eye Motion/Mechanism. The Beautiful Hair! The Faces, having the ability to dress like a child, teen ager or adult. The flexibility of the Ali Blythes, being able to pose them in the CUTEST ways! All of this, each of these, lend to that Whimsical Look that they Blythe Doll Captivates!

The Orginal Kenner Blythe Dolls came out in 1972, but did not do well in sales. Some time later, through Doll Photography, the Blythes were brought back to the Lime Light and Adult Collectors World Wide have scooped them up and embraced them.

The Licensing Rights have changed hands, and Several Different Companies have produced the dolls in 3 sizes.

Blythe Dolls, no matter what type of size you have and love, are so much fun and so whimsical, they just make most people smile and take a second look.

This is a photo of a few of my Licensed Blythes, Kenner, Takara, Ashton Drake, Hasbro (and one of my Little Big Eye Doll). I really need to update this photo.

While I am THRILLED to have them, I leave them on the Shelf to look at, but my Ali Blythes, I sew for, craft for, am working on a Doll House for, and take places. I am so happy that there are what some people call, Fakies, to keep this Hobby and Love for Blythe Dolls alive!

Most of my Kenner Blythes sit for a few reasons. They each have GOOD Kenner Legs. I took this photo when I brought my first Kenner Blythe home, I did not at that time have a Doll Stand for her. Also, you may or may not be aware that Kenner's bodies are now brittle and having them stand might just crack their bodies.

That Said: I did buy a Kenner Blythe JUST for the purpose, to play with, that is to sew for, do more videos with, take places, and really enjoy. I also bought a short haired Takara to use as a Mannequin for my Kenners. I like to have a head on my dolls that I work with while sewing.

Me? I love all Blythes and Hybrids there of.

I really need to get a photo of ALL of my Licensed Blythes together, but. The problem is, the numbers keep changing. Just after taking this photo, I bought two more LPS Blythes. THAT is a very good thing.

I am quoting myself. I have a LOT of dolls and many different types. I have hundreds of dolls. But. It always comes back to Blythe. That is, I seem to think about the Blythe Dolls more, sew for them more, crochet for them. Wonder if other types of dolls clothing will fit Blythe....

Then I noticed that my Dolly Friends were doing the same thing. They were thinking the same way.

"It always comes back to Blythe."

I am always adding NEW Blythes to my Collection. I LOVE the Blythes, of all types!

My Kenner Collection seems to be growing lately and I hope you will take a minute to take a look. As I type this, another Kenner Blythe is on her way to our home and hearts. My Dream is, to have a FULL Set of four, Blonde, Brunette, Red Head and Raven Haired 1972 Kenner Blythe both in each Six Line Branding and Seven. And Lord Knows, I probably will not stop there!~

Deron and I have MANY times given away Ali Blythe Dolls. Some with Face Ups, some Fresh in the Box with only their eyes and legs and joints all checked.

We have give these away to our ACTIVE SUBSCRIBERS on Youtube. Active Subscriber is a subscriber that; Watches Our Videos, Likes Our Videos (clicks the Like Button), and Leaves a Comment on our Videos.

I do not even know how many Blythes we have Gifted people over the years. We have taken as many as 12 to BlytheCon knowing some of our Active Subscribers would be there. We have done this more than one year.

We also send out Blythes to some of our Active Subscribers, some just for Gifts, others to use in Channel Collabs, like these in this video to the left.

And it is not just the Blythe, we add items in to the box: Stands, Shoes, Headbands, Clothes, and who knows what else.

I LOVE Blythe Dolls and I love sharing them with others.
