These dolls are Beautiful, Well Made, so many Different Types and Hair Colors, not only all that, but easy to find and inexpensive.

I was amazed to find that some people were surprised that Blythe Dolls they had bought from their 'own Counties' were, in fact, Ali Blythes. Somehow some people thought they had something 'better' because they had bought a Custom Blythe from an Artist. No. That Artist started with an Ali Blythe. The same that sell for about $20 and are shipped FREE from China.

By FAR the most popular and common Blythe Dolls today. If you have bought a Blythe from ebay, etsy, or other retail shops on line, you, 99.999999% have an Ali Blythe. MOST CUSTOM BLYTHES (99.9999%) ARE MADE USING AN ALI BLYTHE.

What is an Ali Blythe? They are the Blythe Dolls from Aliexpress, or, that is, China made and sold Blythe Doll.

If it were not for these Ali Blythes, the Blythe Hobby would have all but died (again). People with the Ali Blythes, Customs or not, have kept and in fact FLAMED the Blythe Hobby as we see it today.

These Blythes have the BEST hair and so many colors of hair, Full Articulation, and some of the Cutest Faces, of all Blythe Dolls made. Why would you NOT want an Ali Blythe. 10 to 1, you already have at least one, you may not have known it, but you have at least one of these Blythes.

Why do some people call them Fakies and Recasts? Because they could be. HOWEVER! There are legal aspects to this too. Many of these dolls are made Legally.

Some people, let's be honest, do this just to make themselves feel better about themselves and their dolls. Again, it goes back to the "Kennel Ration" Dog Food Commercial from the 1960s. "My Dog Is Better Than Your Dog!, My Dog is Better Than Yours......"

It is a CRYING Shame how much Snobbery can be found in the Doll World. They are DOLLS! Throw each of the dolls in a hot Frying Pan and watch them all melt at about the same rate. With all the division in Today's World, let's all try to find our Common Denominator, rather than PICK at how different we are!

Did you know that it is probably, 99.9% LEGAL for China Shops to make and sell the Articulated Blythe Dolls. How? I will go into this when I have more time.

Let me START by Reminding you that ANY Blythe Doll, other than a Kenner, is, in fact, a Recast. Some have paid Royalties to use the Patten, and others, having these made, have left behind the Molds, and these others were made.

In other words, sometimes Companies leave the Mold or in fact the actually dolls behind. In their Contract with the Makers, they were told if they leave them behind, they become the property of the Makers to make and or sell as they please. SO PERFECTLY LEGAL.

As far as New Face Molds with the same eye mechanism, Copies have happened throughout the ages. Get over it.

I personally own MANY of these Blythe Dolls. I have done, as of yesterday, 94 Face Ups on my own Ali Blythes, in 3 sizes. I have them in Neo, Middie and Mini or Petite.

These dolls are adorable, and well made. I have Daisy who has over 750 miles riding on the Front of my Bicycle. My "Kinda Me" who has been so many places including, but not limited to, BlytheCons, as well as others I have take to Renaissance Faires, Fabric Stores, Dollar Stores, Walmart, Train Shows, Monday Morning "Library Yarns" and so many other places. I am often seen in Restaurants and Fast Food Places with Blythe Dolls with me.

These are all places I would not take my Vintage Kenner Dolls, fearing they would be broken or stolen. So these dolls are PERFECT, plus the Articulation!

This photo is just a few of my Ali Blythes and I have not stopped buying them.

I love doing Channel Collabs on YouTube with the Ali Blythe Blythe Dolls, and have a little stash of these dolls just for that.

Much more coming on this subject. The contents of this page for Ali Blythes is still under construction, and my pages usually REMAIN under construction. I try to update and continue working on my website. Please check back later and often.
