@@annettefedd488 awww thank you so much! I’m relieved, because I do try to keep the rambling to a minimum… but I always fail 🤣

@@RaccineWilliams that’s been the comforting thing about this channel, finding likeminded collectors 🥰

Yay I’m glad you like it too! It’s something you need to see and hold to truly understand I think 🥰

Wow for real?? lol when I’m recording I tell myself most people will watch on mute, so put the dolls close to the camera and blab away. So, that’s very nice of you to say 🥰

I agree so much. I watched a playlist the other day and did some of the best sewing I ever have done - really! And it was a doll dress!

@@Kelly_Molly_Sarah awww that’s so reassuring. Maybe I should make longer playlists lol. But then my videos have gotten long anyway. I’m glad it provides nice background - thanks so much!

@@ThanhKhoaNguyen wow what an incredible compliment! Making them pretty to go up on a shelf is the comfort for me. So thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them!!

@@chantelconrad4221 she’s so versatile! She can look so different just by changing her wig 🥰

Thanks Betty!! It’s so nice to talk about them … and then know others like my dolls too 🤣 I’m glad you enjoyed my Addy mold collection 🎉

@@sherrywalker161 awww that’s really sweet to say. I’m often at war with myself to balance my rambling lol. I would go on for hours if I didn’t convince myself to save some for future videos 🤣 And I’m so glad you liked seeing the Addy Army!

I would listen!😁

@@melangellperry5984 I’m so excited to hear you say that! I like to think they’re different-but I’m also certain I convinced myself of something untrue. So thank you 🥳

@@nancycunningham4245 awww thank you Nancy! I’m so lucky to have a place I can ramble about them, but it’s such a pleasant surprise when people enjoy the babble lol.

@@bryanftsk1 yay thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed seeing them 🥳

@@nailahvenable7989 I think the first time I saw her in person I was just like 😳😍, but she isn’t always photogenic. And the more I saw her in variations, the more I saw how amazing her sculpt really is. Like you said, wigs, eyes, outfits all make such a big difference on her-and it just makes me want more and more of her 🤣 Oh no! The 85 wig is so nice! Can it not be brought back to life?

@@DisBlaineI tried but it is kind of fuzzy like a half afro. I want her to look like new with defined curls. It is like how you felt with your Felicity before you got the new wig she was ok but not exactly what you want. I am not the doll repair girl so i use my rewards to upgrade my dolls as they need it mostly it is restringing for the older girls since I don't want the newer heads. I called the doll hospital and they still had heads so i plan to send her in once i come back from vacation.

@@tluderman77 awww thank you so much!

Hi Paulette! 👋🏼 Yay I’m so glad you love Addy too!! I’ve definitely watched a collection video of Addy-and regretted it!! 🤣🤣 it made me want so much of her stuff! I’ll check if that’s whose video it was and give it another watch. It was a long time ago so it would be nice to revisit. And of course I’ll do an unboxing! I want to show all 4 Addy dolls together. I’m unstoppable 🤣

@@DisBlaine 👩☺️

@@paulettepalmer4860 yes it was her video. Too bad she never continued. I watched it all again last night. I think I have all my fave Addy outfits now. I didn’t realize until I rewatched

@@ladero01 haha I wish I had more! They all look so good together. I’m sure I’ll have enough to update this list in a few months 🤪

@@kimberlybrown3504 hey Kimberly 👋🏼. Wow thank you so much! I’m glad the video did this amazing sculpt justice. I hope you didn’t have to watch it 7x because I didn’t get the dolls close enough lol. I really wanted everyone to see all the details on these ones. I’m so happy you enjoyed seeing them 🥳 Do you have the 5 Addy dolls to showcase multiple outfits? That’s a major problem I have lol. What are the other 5 you have?

@@DisBlaine Yes. I have 2 Pleasant Company Addy, Beforever Addy, and the new one they just released. I have two Of number 77, 58, 26, 31, 85. I have one Addy that someone modernized, and I just ordered another one. My Addy dolls are displayed in her different outfits.

Awww thank you so much! I hope you enjoy seeing them closer up. Videos seem to catch their beauty more than a picture.

Haha I’m biased toward Onika too… which is why I show her so much! Addy is definitely a special sculpt, especially when you get to home and see her in person.

Oh yeah haha I’ll definitely show them all together - guess I should track down a Josephina soon… as if I wasn’t going to 🤪

@@CherishedDollFriends hi Cheryl 👋🏼 For me Addy didn’t look cute until I saw her in person, and then I had the impression of how she looked in pics, so it took her some time to shine. Eeeeks I try to hold back on the stories, so thank you for being so forgiving / supportive lol

@@leebenoit5474 eeeeks this is just a fraction of my dolls. But I’m sure you know that lol. On the bright side, 9 is much easier to manage!

@@robinkrueger5977 ohhhh so she doesn’t have the normal colouring? I’ve wondered why she looks so different from my other addy dolls, more greyish. I like that she’s unique but wondered. I’m glad you let me know that!

@@DisBlaine yes she is unique! Very beautiful I think! Your welcome! I hope you are having a wonderful day! Take care🥰❤️

@@donnamcclam eeeeks, you made such a good choice with her pjs!! The bonnet is so adorable-especially when you DONT have the long curls hanging out the way they have it on the site 😆

Yesss that is why I bought that quick I love it. Lol

Awww oh no! I’ve been lucky with making Addy CYOs. I definitely want another one soon. But I’m trying to resist. Do you know how you’d want to design yours?

@@DisBlaine I would like to have medium skin, light brown eyes with long brown textured hair with braids. Maybe with red hair 😃.

@@delmafahie7088 oh she would look so good! Medium skin and light brown eyes 🥰🥰 I hope you can make her soon!

@@Kelly_Molly_Sarah oh thank gaud I’m not the only one lol. I didn’t have a friend like that growing up-I was that friend growing up 🤣 But I love my name now. Maybe one day Evan will too lol.

@@user-yt6bu6st9j there’s something about this sculpt that looks good so many ways. I feel like I want another CYO soon. I hope you find one locally so you can feel that love yourself! I really think you’d enjoy her.

@@DisBlaine You know I take that comment about character dolls back, I have an almost complete collection of Disney ILY 18 inch dolls. I just love those dolls. I am making Halloween outfits for all of them so that they can go to the Hogwarts's party. I have that train and all the costumes. So I do love character dolls and mix them with fantasy I just change out the display on my dinning room sideboard and piano. People think I have lost it. If I were younger I would collect the 11-12 inch Barbie sized ILY ones with all those clothes.

@@user-yt6bu6st9j you’re MAKING the costumes?! Go you! Why do people think you’ve lost it? I have a couple of the 12” ones, the ones that are Tiana related.

@@DisBlaine Well I gave up my profession of which I have a DNP and 2 masters to practice full time energy work, and in my free time instead of traveling to the islands, golfing, or playing tennis (I am in Florida mind you) I collect dolls and sew. Not quite the norm.

@@agtakesover awwww yes I know and I totally understand! It’s so easy to watch and like on a TV but comments don’t work - AND! When you finally get on the app, you have so many comments to reply to in your own videos, so no need to explain 🥰

Awww I’m so glad you enjoy my dolls, thank you so much!

i especially love onika so much!

@@dolltimewithkayla thank you!! I think she’ll always be one of my favorites 🥰

@@OctoberPoppets oh! I didn’t realize you’re also Canadian! That’s so fun. A Superster Christie would be amazing! Did you get to preorder the Barbie? And yes! Addy dolls are so expensive and rare here. I don’t understand.

Thank you, I’m glad you like them!!

@@eliseelliot I’d love to see more variation with Claudie too-I still consider her my most fave but she’s my fave character and then they made Tiana of the same sculpt so I have no choice lol. Good point that she only makes up 6% of the dolls!! Very suspicious. I wonder what percentage the classic dolls make up… And Addy dolls are so expensive! That’s why I keep doing CYOs of her. It’s cheaper than chasing her old tm dolls…

@@DisBlaine Addy dolls ARE so expensive. It's because they're relatively rare, since, as you point out, they make up 6% of the dolls. And then you factor in the common toy wisdom of "Black dolls don't sell" (whether or not that is real wisdom is... debatable...), which means they made fewer of each Addy mold doll, and... you get relative scarcity. I feel like a lot of Addy mold dolls are only appreciated after they retire. Which is just sucky. It may be why there is exactly ONE Addy mold available in the TM line right now, and TWO available overall, since Addy herself is still available in a few forms. Meanwhile, you can't spit without hitting a Josefina mold. /rolls eyes To be an old crank for a moment, the fact that the Josefina mold is so incredibly popular DESPITE THE FACT THAT MOST OF THEM ARE DEFECTIVE IN SOME WAY while the Addy mold, which rarely has defects, is largely ignored is very frustrating. Josefina is beautiful mold, but it's SO overrepresented these days. Give me Claudies, give me Addys, give me Makenas. I want more dolls from the molds that are designed to represent POC features. (I also want dark-skinned dolls in the molds that haven't had them yet; I really would love a dark-skinned Joss mold or a dark-skinned Jess mold or a dark-skinned Kaya or Nanea or Marie-Grace.) (Uh. Sorry for my tirade on your KZfaq page. There is a lot of things about AG that I can be more chill about, but representation is, um. Not one of them.)

@@DisBlaine Oh, and I just counted. 84 classic mold dolls, or thereabouts. So... that's... 42%? Versus 6% for Addy mold. Which is only a few years older than the classic mold and was the second mold ever. (Josefina, the fourth oldest mold, has 37 dolls with it, so 18.5% or so.) (And yes, I just went down a rabbit hole.)

@@eliseelliot lol I replied without seeing your entire comment, saying I bet Josephina has like 25%. And I only exaggerated by a little. That’s quite a questionable difference!

@@unique37us oh yes they’re so addictive! I can’t believe how fast and big my collection has grown, so I understand why you had to stop. But I also understand why you have so many Addy mold dolls too lol. There’s something about her in person.

@@tinmanlover1994 when my PC Addy arrives I plan to go more in depth comparing them. I did a little in my lonnnnng unboxing of the latest historical release.

@@nikkithompson445 oh lucky! The PC dolls are so nice!! I really love the feel of the vinyl.

Hmmm that’s a good point. I do plan to show here when I do my Jess mold video, but it would be nice to give her and Julie a proper video together one day

Oh no, is that a Canadian thing?? 🤣🤣🤣 It’s between daycare and first grade. We start junior kindergarten around 4 years old, then senior is the next year.

@@DisBlaine oooo we call it preschool (when you’re 3-4) and then kindergarten

@@scarletsavenger1367 oh haha. So preschool is like our jr k and kindergarten is like our sr k maybe.

@@pjrox93 yeah she has a bff (one of my Tiana dolls) and they each have a group of friends. I’ll give them a proper video in a few weeks.
