Me too!

Exactly! Before Blythes, I actually just had collectible dolls that I looked at and occasionally rearranged, which I still like those kinds of dolls, but the Blythes won me over since I do like do stuff with them and not having to be so careful. I will say, though, that my Romantic Alice Pullip actually came, NIB, with a broken arm. I was able to get a replacement arm and fix her. Thanks for commenting and watching.

+FairyPrincess Couture Sounds a lot like my story with these 2 dolls!

+Tammy Powley haha ok then it's not just me!! I was beginning to wonder if other people had the same issues with the dolls. Still, they are so lovely and have their good points, too ^_^

I'm glad you found it helpful. They are both adorable dolls, very hard to pick one over the other.

I was initially not in love with Blythes at all, but as I saw more photos of them, stock or otherwise, I grew to love them. Cutomizing is very interesting, but for me, it is taking a long time to get the basics of it down.

+Mistydollz Thanks for watching.

I glad you found it helpful. It is hard to pick between the 2 dolls.

Well, you can't go wrong with one of each, honestly. That way you can see the difference for yourself. For me, the main difference is that Pullips I don't handle a lot. I set them up for display only. Blythes I take out and take photos, change their clothes regularly, etc. because they are much more sturdy and can handle all of that.

I'm so happy that you found it helpful.

Thank you for watch and commenting. Their bodies are about the same dimension as Blythe dolls but are taller, so you could use Blythe patterns(check Etsy) and make things like dresses, skirts, and pants longer for Pullips.

Kaylee Sherrod I just now saw your comment ! I didn't do anything to her hair, but I did eventually sell the Blythe doll in this video.

They are wonderful dolls.

They have skinny feet, but a few of my Blythe shoes fit them. Usually boots and Mary Jane styles tend to work with them.

+Mariska Panda I will have to check for the angel gate heads. So far, I've only seen one type of fake doll that had a Pullip type head but then Middie Blythe type body, sort of a hybrid between the two dolls.

Glad I could help!

For the most part, yes, but Pullips are a few inches taller, so dresses will be longer on a Blythe doll as will pants. Pullip stockings will be too long for a Blythe doll.

I was at one time also. I'm glad you found it helpful.

+yasmyg Yes, they are pricey, and they seem to be going up. The latest release announced for Aug. 2016 (a special anniversary release) I've seen listed at CCToys for $448.88! Crazy! I think that is one reason the fake/factory dolls are so popular. I'm not sure if I get what you mean by an official web site. There are some web sites that are official Blythe retailers and get their dolls directly from Takara, if that's what you mean, for example Junie Moon and CCToys. I know there is so much to learn about these dolls, which is one reason I started making doll videos to share info as I learn it myself. I have learned a lot from the Blythe World Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/106181589451502/ There is also a really good forum on Ravelry that I have learned a lot from: www.ravelry.com/groups/me-and-my-blythe Oh, I have seen prices pretty much all over the road, but the cheapest price for a stock Blythe I've seen around $130. My Country Summer doll was $128 (which included shipping from CCToys), but last time I saw her on there, her prices had gone up by $50. So, the prices tend to go up sometimes.

Thank you for all the information :)

Not a problem :)

I'm in the US and prefer to use Pullip Style.

@@TammyPowley thank you 😊

I have purchased from Pullip Style.

That's Merl. She is very, very cute. I waited at least a year before I finally got her. I've got a video just about her here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etOAZKSKpt29YZs.html

Thankyou! I will be sure to check it out because she's beautiful!

Yes, there are all kinds of "big head" dolls these days!

Oh no, down the rabbit hole you go!

@@TammyPowley HAHAHAHAHAHAH Indeed!

Well, that's interesting.

Yes, a little, good point.

@@TammyPowley I think I just saw almond-shaped eyes on a Blythe doll for the first time just a few minutes ago on Etsy... but it was definitely rare, and not something I'd have an easy time finding again from another seller. I think the doll was meant to be Asian-looking. But then it probably wasn't a real Blythe, was it? I'm not really looking for authenticity as much as whatever is aesthetically-pleasing for me.

LOL too funny

@@TammyPowley To be fair, even though I still don't like vanilla Blythes, many customs with a reshaped mouth and original face-up can be absolutely amazing.

@@lekanraposte6732 :)

good points 😀

To each his/her own.

Nothing wrong with that opinion :)
