Can't for the life of me think of the name of this doll. I know I've seen them somewhere. Approx 9.5" tall Edit: Waldorf ? ish? Edit 2: Here she is on feebay with all her stuff

Eyes not remotely symmetrical

Edit 3: ok is this another aliexpress type knockoff. I did see her around the same time as the Blythe but I didn't pick her up then, but today she was on sale so

If you ever look for info like

-do X doll clothes fit Y doll

-measurements

-doll id (try google lens first tho!)

-size comparisons

then feel free to poke me after checking the list below (cause you'll know what dolls I got)

If there are any dolls you find interesting and aren't on the list, share, I wanna see :3

[tsubasaclones]

they really should consider making legitimate blythe custom kits a la pullip MIO kits because not having them doesn't mean people don't want to customize them it just means they buy a shit ton of knockoffs instead. you're missing out on a big market here

[instantfrost]

I want to spend more time making stuff and repainting my dolls. Today I had the day off and I gave myself a little refresher tour on my doll closet. There are so many projects waiting for me in there. Except for like two dolls that I consider done, it’s all just projects.

I found a Blythe knockoff that’s rerooted and that I wanted to reface when I got a dremel. (5+ years of waiting)

I found this Lalaloopsy. I was repainting the hair. Each of the large glitter pieces is glued on by hand- gee, I wonder why I haven’t finished it yet (3+ years of waiting). Well, it’s partly because I lost the bottle of that large glitter.

All my bjds.

Over a hundred G1 monster highs.

Various MTM Barbie bodies.

A single Pinkie Cooper, a single Novi Star, a single Bratz.

A couple switch a witch dolls.

A dozen OMG LOLs.

A couple dozen Rainbow Highs.

Others.

I love these dolls. They inspire me and when I make time to work on them, I’m happier than when I don’t. But I spend all my time at work, or biking to the grocery store, or mopping the floor, or walking the dogs. I don’t even have the giant responsibilities some of my peers have, but I still can’t get to the things I want to do most. I don’t know how people do it.

Guess I could make a list of projects and then I can start to prioritize them. A product backlog, if you will.

[megan-renee]

I think.. I’m actually going to try my hand at Blythe doll customization. On AliExpress you can buy knockoff dolls for so cheap and like… I think i could do it. I want to try. I had so many ideas just looking at what they had available to sell like there was a bundle of 4 all w various shades of green hair and I was like ok.. a little bit of earthy vibes. What if I did earth fire air and water…what about astrology signs… I mean 😳 .. it’s limitless… anyway I’m gonna try. Idk about making clothes yet but I’m going to get one and sand the face down and reshape it and try to repaint and stuff. Idk if I’ll even sell them. Maybe someday!

#personal #good night!!

[firespirited]

One of my fave episodes has Batou's tachikoma go for an unsanctioned trip to town with a little girl and The Major experiences an underground film distributed by cyberbrain.

I think the childhood doll used for the opening was a Blythe (or a knockoff, who has $150 dolls as a kid?)

[erin-gilberts]

I see a doll with red hair and don't even hesitate to slot her for the blorbo shelf

#erin is talking #I'm fucking around making Ghostbusters dolls again lol #this one is either a blythe or a blythe knockoff #I couldn't even figure out the reflective stripes on my OWN jumpsuit lol so how am I going to make a teeny version? idk but I'm doing it

[frostedmintdolls]

Oh man. So, I'd say I learned about Blythe in 2004 because I remember Velvet Minuette being newish.

If you had told me back then that the pricey and niche Takara Blythes would become MASSIVELY knocked off eventually, I probably would have been surprised.

I mean this is the doll that didn't sell in 70's because it was considered too UGLY. Now there are knock off heads on knock off bodies of a second brand, based on a popular rebodying option. Not even something where you have to use a special buying service. Just...available.

i wonder how blythe doll fans feels about the lps bythes, cause like, from a lps fan perspective they always felt like the weirdest possible thing for hasbro to do with the license (the average lps kid, at least when lps blythes were released, tended to not really........care about human dolls lol plus they didnt have bobble heads or magnets) and especially when i was a child who wasnt familiar with normal takara or kenner blythe dolls they straight up didnt feel like they belonged in the same toyline as littlest pet shops just based off of style, the inset eyes really threw baby me for a loop asjfksedanjfds compared to normal blythes the lps blythes are a lot smaller tho so maybe that has some appeal...the lps ones dont have the changing eyes tho....i also wonder if there were any kids who may or may not have been into lps but was really into lps blythes and got into blythe dolls that way

#it was also interesting when i got a little older and a little more internet savvy and i first learned of normal blythe dolls #and i (child who didnt understand licensing agreements) was like....did hasbro make knockoffs of these expensive collectors dolls #its just the wildest thing to me i dunno #such a weird choice........... #like blythes are cute but like.......i cant imagine most children who like lps liked them i mean me and my friends werent that interested #maybe they were trying to expand their reach to get kids who do like fashion dolls? but i guess tying it into the animal brand didnt help #in other news ive gotten really into dolls and toys gomenasai #learned a lot these past couple weeks of staring at doll blogs all day #i have an idea for a custom doll i might try to make to go along with my medicom akira fudo #im thinking i could fuck with a liv doll body enough and maybe i could make a satan.....hmmmmm #id need to basically make his entire face some scratch but hmm............... #i also thought about a mtm barbie but livs got some 70s manga anatomy so that might work better #plus then he'd be a much better size compared to my akira #spent the past week staring at doll crotches to figure out which ones would work with a sculpted dong orz #is this what its like being a doll person. #is this what its like

[miopet]

OH I did wanna ask (and I like. Def might be misrecognizing the doll that's ur PFP, but it looks V similar to like some of the parabox/azone sculpts that I've seen, but I got v excited to see it when we first became mutuals and um. Forgot to ask about it until now. I realize now this tangent is like by and large not relevant to the question but um lol) I wanted to ask what kinda toys do u collect/make/restore?

i love this ask sm tysm 💕🤧 i have looked for a while for the source of my icon but i cant find it :( its not my doll, i dont own any bjds other than a knockoff blythe BUT I WANT SOME. i love love azone dolls and other similar types!! theyre so cute i spend sooo long looking at beautiful images on pinterest and ig.

we collect a lot of different toys & always have. but my fav are dolls from 1960s-2000s. i have a pretty small collection but i own several 90s/2000s porcelain collectable dolls like these

i thrift these just to have them, they all have real personalities to me. they are so alive and i love them lol..

in terms of customizing, i am currently not doing much hashtag disabled life, but i have a horde of dolls to work on, specifically Bratz Babies, vintage MLPs, and 70's Strawberry Shortcakes!

this is what one of the 70s shortcakes looks like. i have a ton of characters & clothes etc. theres a faceless balf bratz baby in the bg lol. i work on both restorations and ooak customs!

i will work on any toy that captures my interest, tbh! i am happy to customize modern toys (i have some rainbow high, trolls movie dolls & 2010s shortcakes and barbie horses), off brand toys & things like mcdonalds happy meal toys... but having the real vintage (80s - 2000s) MLPs and Shortcakes is super special to me! Some day I'll take a ton of pics, but my stuff is mostly stored rn from moving last year.

something i want and dont own: rainbow brite 😭😭😭

I have a ton of works in prog ill share some day! But not much finished atm. We also collect beanie babies & vintage plushies which my partner customizes!

#talk tag #toy posting #i love toys. TOYSSSS SO GOOD #we will lolove toys forever always going to fill my whole house up with toys #im broke now but i had some money once and i genuinely mostly spent it on toys to customize

[the-bjd-community-confess]

I don't care for Blythes, but the local BJD community where I am intersects with the Blythe community a lot. It seems like a lot of the sales posts I see for custom Blythes are on fake bases even in anti-recast groups. Is there some kind of difference in acceptance of counterfeits between the BJD and Blythe communities?? I just don't think a custom faceup makes your doll any less of a knockoff. I don't know how to feel about it.

so many of the results i get for doll bodies on ebay/etsy are those fuckin "factory blythe" dolls with knockoff pureneemo bodies or whatever they have going on

#i will say i appreciate that they actually have a wide range of colors tho. a lotttttt of companies can't say that. #they even have an actual dark skin option at least the ones ive seen on etsy

[specterwrites]

How would the ros react if they had a doppelganger, The knockoff versions, Preferably with shitty names lol

Lázaro: His doppelganger's name would be something like "Lazlo Bronzegate" and he would immediately suspect them of being some kind of diversionary tactic from the Faceless Guard meant to distract him. I'm imagining a hilariously inept doppelganger, though, and if that's the case then I think Laz would kind of keep them at arm's length within the radical headquarters, just to keep an eye on them.

Belvidere: "Belvidere" (by their own admission) is a pretty uncommon name, and one that I think would be hard to fudge for a doppelganger... Maybe just "Belle V. Dear-Idol" or something equally conspicuous...? They would definitely be more accepting of their double than Laz. I think Belvidere would have no problem inviting their "knockoff version" to tea and swapping life stories. Even a "shitty" Belvidere is still a Belvidere, dahling!

Prudence: "Prudence" is a pretty challenging name to spoof... The best I can come up with is "Colonel Providence Pry", which kind of still keeps the naming scheme of her family, still. I honestly don't think she would really care, or else would find her doppelganger to be a silly little coincidence -- so many people claim to be in House Pri because of their status, anyway, that it's probably not unusual to run into a pretender from time to time.

Blythe: What doppelganger...? Oh, you mean the man calling himself "Bly Ont"? He was executed the moment the true Sovereign caught wind of his existence.

MC1/MC2: Dependent on their personalities, though I imagine that a more worldly MC would be very curious about the existence of a doppelganger.

thots on dolls, i'm curious abt how u got into them/what u like abt them

dolls are neat! sometimes you’re a fourteen-year-old kid with unrestricted internet access living in a town without art and a best friend who you hate as much as you hate yourself -- but this friend has good taste sometimes and oh no

they show you, or you find, this, and it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. (taste is an acquired thing, i don’t know what i was thinking). and then there’s her (it’s been eight years and i’d still sell my soul for her) and her and these and these and even this hideous fucker has amazing detailed construction and tiny intricate details if you look closely even though he’s ugly as all hell (his owner and i are no longer friends, he was not a factor but i’m so glad i get to trash him because jesus christ what IS that). and you look into it a bit further and holy shit you can customize them, they come in one colour and sometimes in pieces and when you’re doing their makeup you’re actually pretty much adding their skin since they don’t have blood vessels or freckles or anything. and you can make their clothes and wigs and shoes (it’s way cheaper that way) and there are wildly different sizes and styles and levels of poseability and they only really became a thing in the late 90s so the older ones look simplistic and awkward but they still look sweet. some of them have intense expressions, or stylized ones, but most of them only come with one face and photographing them is like making postmortem pictures look lifelike.

they have this weird sense of personality to them, even the serene-looking ones. when i bought ada (third link above), it was kind of terrifying? she was tiny and fragile and the seller didn’t put her head on and she came in a pink child-size shoebox with all these tiny tiny clothes and accessories with her face painted on (here she is) and she was literally seventeen centimetres tall. i hate kids, i’m not a fan at all, but it was like seeing a new baby. and then she was a brat! she doesn’t like holding poses, her limbs snap around, her head lolls around on its socket, and she goes cross-eyed if you bump her slightly. she can’t decide on a hairstyle or eye colour, she hated her original face and she hates how i redid it, and she’s too tiny and delicate to take anywhere. i love her so fucking much. i’ve had her since i turned sixteen, and i’m twenty-two now. the reason i like lola so much isn’t just that hesitant alien is a kickass album, it’s because there’s this weird little creature and it’s you and it’s also not you and it’s your best friend and a strong critic of your every move and it’s cute and it’s fuzzy and it’s not real like a person but it’s kind of more real than that?

other dolls are cool too. i’ve spent more time with this $40 impulse purchase than i have with all $200 USD of ada, and i love her a lot too, but in a different way. some people use dolls to “shell” their characters, but mine tend to just happen, and ada’s character is more important than emi’s, no matter how cooperative emi is. one of my other oldest dolls is a pair of legs (because she’s the type you can buy as separate parts) and i keep putting off assembling her entire body because she feels like art and she’s kind of my favourite weird sculpture now. even the ones that don’t work out are really neat to have around -- most doll hobbyists sell members of their collection that don’t work, some are like revolving doors, others keep everything, so there’s always a secondhand market going that you can add to or pull from, or just look at for inspiration.

the customization aspect is really fun, too. some of them you have to reinvent from the ground up (i finally got a blythe and that’s what i’ll be doing with her as soon as my WIP list is at a better point), others you have weirder tasks on, like dyeing or repainting a body to revitalize it/suit a character (doing that to a unoa kit like the one pictured above) or modifying it to improve poseability or visuals (i’ve been hacking at a barbie body so she can bend her legs to fit in her wheelchair). sculpting your own dolls is a super-involved process, but i’ll do that eventually too (reading books about it is really meditative, especially since they tend to be in other languages so you have to inspect the pictures super closely. it’s like targeted dreaming). making doll clothing was a really strong draw for me for a while -- i wasn’t happy with how i exist in a body and it’s never the way i want, so i used dolls as kind of clothing horses for styles or designs i wouldn’t or couldn’t wear myself. now that i feel better about that, the dolls just kind of get what they want (and i’ve been neglecting them to sew for myself lmao but they don’t mind).

my phases run in weird cycles, so i’m really out of the loop on new developments relating to anything other than mattel inc. (the fashion doll community on tumblr is great), but it seems like the hobby is getting a lot more creative and a lot less stale than it was the first couple of times i was really into it. it’s this fluid, ever-changing thing that makes jumping back in really interesting (and a lot of work), but there’s still this comforting base to it that stays the same (use respiratory protection and high-quality materials when doing faceups, don’t buy recasts, volks/fairyland/alchemic labo are popular and cute). and if you swap doll types, there’s months/years more of entertainment. (i have big gay autism, or, like, adhd-autism crux/combination, and research is so fun)

dolls are great! they’re like muses, photography subjects, OCs, clothes horses, mascots, art projects, and (sometimes) investments all at once. whatever kind of phase i’m in, there’s something i can do with them. and they’re good company, and great for decoration and indulging your goth sensibilities and freaking out your visitors if you feel like it

random bag of onions to finish off: creepy and cute are accidental and if you deliberately aim for them you’ll get boring off-base results, what kayla said about s*x dolls applies to other types of doll too (if you try to put too many conventionally attractive features together you’ll just end up with something uncanny and grotesque instead of something really beautiful), toyetic design is for babies, doll hobbyists esp. forum communities still have a lot of unconscious biases esp. racism and homophobia to unpack, recasting is art theft and is killing the community via its artists but barbie/blythe/integrity knockoffs are basically a moral responsibility, and art dolls with huge hips are the new minifee chloes
