I never was into the boy dolls before - but the all-black, sleek outfit you put him in looks really good!

I’m loving these CYO videos! I’m hoping to order another for my collection sometime soon, as I haven’t gotten one in about 3 years. She’d be my third lol… it’s just so hard to choose what doll to create 😆

We have had to make boy clothes as well. Simplicity has some great sewing patterns.

I am so pleased that you are going to keep him! It totally makes sense about the hair although yours has always looked fine to me. 9 year old Jonathan must have looked just like that. The sticking up hair makes him more unique and gives him extra charm. I am low maintenance with my dolls too and actually prefer them to have a small defect to make them special. Just like humans dolls are never perfect. Thanks for sharing your experience. 🥰

I ordered a CYO girl with light skin and blonde long, straight hair. The hair was so bad in back that I think a worker tried to cover it up by cutting a chunk out. It looked like someone put a too hot curling iron to it and fried the back. You couldn’t tell that once it was secured in the box. Also the hair texture was very different than my other dolls - like the plastic used for dish sponges! AG would NOT take it back or repair it without charge. They told me they get many complaints about the blond CYO wigs especially., but sorry they couldn’t help. I bought an Etsy wig and replaced it myself, but still so angry that they charged so much and it clearly was wrong!

For the price, I think it would be worth a call to AG to find out what can be done about the hair. You are right, he looks much better in the black outfit. Congrats on your second CYO!

Definitely make boy clothes. There are not enough anywhere. I just started collecting AG in September 2023, I have 10 new, 20 TLC girls) and never thought I wanted boy dolls until your videos! Now I can't wait to make a CYO. I'm not crazy about any of the AG boys available even on Ebay. So, I will spend my money on a CYO. Thanks for the info on face shape. I had no idea what one was what, and now I know. I don't want to spend $220 on the classic shape and have it look like the $115 one. Too flat. Love your videos! You are funny and enjoyable to watch. Your voice is very soothing.

Your critique of the lightest skin tone makes perfect sense as someone with the undertones they use to describe the skintone. I have olive undertones as a fair skin person, and blond or yellow toned hair looks kind of awful on me, as well as blues and purples. If I dress in purples, I end up looking like I'm super ill. Olive under tone fair skin peeps often have issues looking sick or even zombie-like. It's also kind of hilarious to me that AG uses that skintone, as fair olive skin is pretty rare irl--I have the hardest time finding any foundation that matches. I assume why they use it is due to old resin/plastic's tendency to yellow over time and lose its pinks. In the BJD community, people use that on purpose to say that older, more yellow dolls look more "human" than they started in their original stark white. However newer resin/plastic has much better options to avoid yellowing and losing pink tones, so it could just be due to historical grandfathering?

Your mini me really is very cute & just changing his clothes gave him such a glow up. Also, was your Josefina always on that top shelf!? She is so stunning ❤

Keep him! I like his messy hair! As a mom of 2 sons, I can promise you when they were 9 years old their hair was always a mess! 😅

I think AG will let you send him into the Doll Hospital for free to get a new head for the hair.

I recently sent a CYO in for a head replacement. She was a secondhand doll that had been heavily played with by a child. What I got back looked like the freaking Crypt Keeper. I reached out to the Doll Hospital, asking to return the doll again for a new head. They gaslit me, saying that the audit done on my doll prior to shipping appeared normal with current specifications and that another new head wouldn't make a difference. They even sent me pictures of my original head to compare, saying they looked the same and I'm like, YES THAT'S THE PROBLEM. lol One was USED and the other was supposedly brand new! What do they not understand?? I'm not even kidding when I say that her new wig was SEE THROUGH. From the top down you could see the wig cap and there were wefts in the back made of only short hairs (NOT the same as her original wig which was still thick, just damaged and dry). The new wig was so thin. This should NOT be the new normal. I'll update when my doll is home again. Fingers crossed!

He's really cute!🥰

HI from England. The doll hair around the crown looks natural as it happens in reality a lot. It makes him individual You can always apply a little real adult gents hair product. Do you wash the hair out on the doll? As to your own hair. The crop is never messy but growing it a bit longer on top would give you different styling options too for yourself..

Separate comment; YES - BOY CLOTHES!!!!!

Make outfits please! My son has a Gotz boy doll and the AG boy Wellie wisher and no clothes for them!

He's adorable! I think his hair is fine.😎

You should absolutely add boy doll clothes to your store. I actually don’t have any boys in my collection but I could always use more gender neutral clothing options and I know a lot of people want more clothes for their boy dolls. Your new boy is cute! I feel like his hair is fixable but if not they absolutely will send a replacement or cover a hospital visit if you get a defective doll, even though they say no returns or exchanges. You just can’t get a straight up refund or a different doll, you would have to just replace him with an identical one.

Aww, I like him. 🙂 The new jogger Team AG outfit would probably work well for your boy dolls, it's a very gender neutral outfit, and the T-shirt is fantastic! 😃

Here is my hot take! Do a wig swap with your original blonde boy doll! The colour looks like a much nicer match for you and I think it would help the skin hair clash! Love the turtleneck on boy dolls, my partners mini me lived in a turtleneck for a hot minute 🤣

Someone on Reddit got a free head replacement for their Chrissa cause she had a “bubble” on the top of her wig so I’m guessing that’s the same problem with your cyo but I would recommend calling ag about it :)

This was so fun to watch the process from start to finish. I think he's pretty cute, I wish we could know if the heat did that to his hair or he really just arrived that way after a rough shipping journey. I don't know if I'll do a create your own doll or not. I've just purchased a Rebecca and feel like she would be what I would want my CYO to look like. Can't wait to get her and see! My first doll with the smooth hair and no bangs! (I currently have Samantha, Kirsten, and Claudie).

It's so funny- every time i order a doll, i watch a video from you where you literally say "i really want a doll just like this"- and it's started to freak me out. I just ordered a "rainbow hair" doll literally just a few hours ago!

Why is there so litttle options, for that price there should be as much customizing option as in the sims

I would send him back to get what I want. Also it would be great if you sold boy clothes. We need them. Boy doll clothes are so hard to find.

I just created a CYO boy doll, and I picked the same hair style and I have the same issue with the hair sticking up. I think it's a quality issue :(

Shop idea: it would be awesome if you made a custom doll phone screen that looks like your KZfaq channel I DREAM OF JONNY … 🙂I bet fans would love that for their dolls!

He’s cute! I have the CYO light skin and it doesn’t look nearly as warm tone… interesting

I do this on occasion but i can never find the right hairstyle and i wouldn't have worn any the outfits. They should do this for Barbie. Good that you can return him considering he's a custom i'm surprised by this.

Congratulations! He is a handsome guy! I don’t think AG takes returns/refunds on CYOs. I don’t know if they do exchanges for decisions that don’t work in real life. I would love to see the variety of boys return to AG and to see more boy outfits.

You should absolutely make original boy doll clothes, I have 11 AG boys, 2 OG boys, and 2 Heidi Ott boys, as well as my 2nd cyo boy who is supposed to be delivered next week, and theres just not enough options! I have all of the boy outfits AG released except for the red basketball outfit, but did get most of the Girl of Today soccer outfits from ebay, my boys are definitely more soccer brats over b-ball guys 😂

Maybe get some type of paper or something and then iron his hair down to correct it. I've never done anything retaining to applying heat to my dolls hair. So be very careful when trying to fix the hair with heat

My simple advice: if you aren’t in love with the doll, why keep it? Call and see what american girl will do to fix the hair issue. You are not responsible for the hair being messed up before you even opened the box. I honestly am not a fan of the cyo line as a whole, because of how horrible the website is. You really have no idea what the doll will look like based off of their AI looking images.

I'm Blair's skin tone the lightest you can get I'm white as milk with long brown hair blue eyes with pink glasses.

just go to the ag hospitl

Ummmm 1,000% yes to putting your own boy doll outfit designs in your shop!!!!!
