ADDY MOLD = FAVORITE MOLD. Well, tied with the Claudie mold at this point, for me, but there aren't as many Claudie mold dolls yet, so it's hard to see the variety and versatility of the mold just yet. But the Addy mold is my fav. I only have 3 Addy molds right now - Addy, 58 (your Elsie), and 26 - but I desperately want an 11 at some point. It's truly a shame that AG hasn't utilized the Addy mold a lot more - they only have 12 dolls total with it, out of... somewhere around 200ish dolls? 121 TMs, 25 GOTYs, 25 historicals, and then special editions and Disney... yeah, around 200ish dolls. 12 Addy molds. Make it make sense. My kingdom for more Addy mold dolls. I love the story of Evan and her name - it gives her such a personality. (And it's NOT dumb to have these stories and quirks for your dolls!) It's really amazing how different all your 77s look. I also enjoyed hearing about Elsie's time traveling travails. And Oneka is my favorite, as always. I just adore that wig on her. Looking forward to your PC Addy and your Josefina mold video (even if Josefina molds are... a challenge).

@@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 KZread page. There is a lot of things about AG that I can be more chill about, but representation is, um. Not one of them.)
