Joey, Blythe dolls are still being produced to this day by the Good Smile Company, (formerly takara-tomy) since 2001, there are new releases almost every month. The original Kenner Blythes were only produced for one year, but modern Blythes still exist under a different company!

Oh good. Someone else said it too. I was confused when they said they were only made a year. I guess maybe they means the style of the 5 original Kenner ones? Hope Joey sees your comment and clarifies.

@@purplegothicqueen I own both Kenner and Takara/GSC blythes along with a few fakes for comparison. I'm not sure if you own any blythes but I've been a collector for a long time and I can attest officially produced blythes are very high quality, not just mass produced copies as you say. (The original 1972 blythes were also mass produced so I'm not sure why you say that, maybe you're confusing the current Takara/GSC blythes with the aliexpress fakes?)

It's a sad state of affairs when it has to be a celebrity making a complaint to a company like Mattel before any heed is taken of the issue.

The “I got rid of my dolls too early” to “I collect dolls as an adult” pipeline IS REAL!!! Omg! I also got rid of my dolls too soon and regretted it ever since. I had a HUGE collection of (somewhat rare) 90s Barbies and I gave them all away to my little cousins and I feel bad about it because I think I was pressured into giving them away, so that’s probably why I’m now chasing that high of having a huge bin of favorite Barbies when I was a little girl. 😭

Don't cry.... it's ok, it's nice you are collecting and enjoying dolls again. ✌️

Paris Hilton doesn't shock me at all, I watched Simple Life growing up and she seemed like a Barbie to me back then (I was just a kidso please don't judge me for that). Now I see as an adult she embodies what Barbie used to tell little girls "You can be anything".

Genuinely I feel the same way Emma does. I was forced to grow up way too soon, now I'm collecting things I was forced to give up or that I wasn't allowed to have.

I always think people are judging me for having dolls. Sometimes I hide them if certain people are coming over. I have pile them all in a box and put them in a closet. I will no longer do that. There is nothing wrong with loving dolls and like you said..HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT SOME DOLLS!!!?

My best friend and I played Barbies all through grade school in the 70s. We were so similar the way we played--making stories for them and not just brushing their hair and changing their clothes. We drifted apart the summer before jr. high. She was in a class of mine, and she was saying really strongly that she had packed up all her dolls and had GROWN UP! I was so embarrassed cause I hadn't. But, I lied and said I had too. I felt embarrassed anytime I played with them that year.

Britney Spears also bought and lived in the house from the live action Bratz movie!

I’m so happy you included Britney ! She has such great taste in dolls too❤ Demi Moore however doesn’t just collect antique dolls. Her collection I read in several articles consists of artist dolls ,Tonner , Gene Marshall (her favorite) Barbie of course, and some others. She’s purchased a bunch of the OOAK Barbie’s and dolls from events and auctions, probably why its insured at over 2 million 🤩 I would absolutely LOVE to see an in-depth tour of her collection one day. It sounds insane !🎉

I believe lossing dolls too young was one of the reasons I collect dolls. We had a house fire when I was young. Everyone got out safely, but the house was a total loss...including my dolls. It sometimes feels like I am trying to replace what I have lost. However, many of my family's extended members love dolls, so I grew-up seeing others with doll collections.

Barbra Streisand and Richard Simmons collect dolls

I read several years ago about Johnny Depp's doll collection - fascinating! Demi Moore also collects Barbies. When I lived in Los Angeles in the 90's, I saw her at several Barbie shows. Marie Osmond also collects dolls and had her own doll line.

As long as you are getting dolls to admire them, you are collecting. It may not be a huge collection for different reasons (just starting the hobby, lack of money, no interest or space for having a big collection, etc) but if you admire dolls and you have at least one doll to do that at home you are in my eyes a doll collector. Lets not gatekeep the hobby please🥰❤Love your videos as always❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💕

Like Emma Roberts and you I lost my dolls early BUT it was because I was gone for the weekend and my mom got rid of ALL of my dolls/toys and gave them to my nieces and nephews when I was 14. She said I was too old to "be playing with toys" I think I am a doll and toy collector because of that trauma and trying to get all of my childhood toys back......LOL And FYI Demi Moore has a HUGE Barbie collection too, not just antique dolls. She is kinda like me and collects dolls of all types.

I gave mine to my sister when I was 14 as my mom couldn't buy them for her as she was divorced mom of 5

I remember that Dita von Teese had some dolls. Perhaps they were just gifts but she had a special shelf for them.

Back in the 80s I was selling doll clothes at a Barbie Doll show in West Covina, Calif when Demi Moore showed up. She didn't come to my table, but she did buy several dolls that day. I thought it was very cool that a celeb collected Barbies.

They still make Blythe dolls now... It's a different company but I believe they are licensed or something. There is also a lot of unofficial ones online. They look the same so go for it Joey :)

Mariah Carey mentioned she's a doll collector as well as she collects Barbie superstar era I'm not mistaken.

The Debbie Jellinsky reference 🤣🤣🤣

Blythe dolls are produced by Takara Tomy and you can buy them any day. Only they start from 300 dollars. But the cheaper version is from Ali, but one can customize them to their liking. I did 3 myself, it is so fun

I have never stopped loving dolls but I enjoy them differently now. When I was little I would play with my dolls, having them go on adventures or maybe they were my child and I would take care of them. Now I display them on a shelf, changing their outfits occasionally. I like going on Etsy and buying them clothes. So great to see so many adults that enjoy dolls and be proud to say so. Before the internet and KZread I felt alone as an adult doll collector. People around me weren't interested and I sometimes felt ashamed for being "childish". I have my dolls on display in my house and I don't hide them anymore when people visit. Thanks Joey!! 😊

Joey- Thanks for sharing this video. I did not know sooo many celebrities collect dolls also. It is good to know many of us are still "children at heart".

It doesn't matter what type of hobby you enjoy, its the fact that you luv it

People with comic book and other collections get them insured. You never know. Especially unexpected weather or fires. Also I love Madame Alexander dolls. I have on the way.

Regarding outgrowing toys...it´s funny because I never officially did (I´ve always kept in touch with cartoons and stuff; always a kid) but there was a moment in my life where I stopped buying (teens and early adult). And my family NEVER said anything against it. In fact, my mother would go out and call me to tell me that there are action figures out there I might be interested in. That being said, I know "somehow for a fact" that my grandmother did get rid of my entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collection. And I know because I loved those figures. Never would have gotten rid of them and, suddenly, they were no more. And one time, talking to her, she told me she got rid of my mother´s special plush toy (that she didn´t know what happened to it). So, doing the math: if I wouldn´t get rid of my figures and my mother wouldn´t that only left her. ...every now and then I remember it and feel sad yet I love my grandmother and would never be upset with her. Besides, I´m sollecting in the present so that´s a thing.

I know Paris is also a hello Kitty major fan

Emma’s excitement is very the dolls is such a mood lol. I never fully grew out of dolls, but I definitely tried to get rid of them a few times because I “wanted to grow up”. Funny how these things work around. 🤣 I LOVEEE that Miley, Demi and Brit Brit are one of us.

its so nice collecting dolls cuz they are awsome

Hi as i said to @froggystuff I've been talking with other barbie influencers. If everyone recorded a video expressing a wish for mattel to offer the #madetomove bodies especially sean (to replace black label kens with rubber band leg system.) That if every influencer did it same week then mattel might do it. Headless bodies makes it easier for transplantation and availability

Many you mentioned are some of my favorite celebrities! So happy to hear they like dolls too. ❤❤❤

Come to think of it, I wasn't ready to let go of my Barbie even when my parents told me that I'm too old to play with dolls. I was about 12 and had to give away my Barbie to my younger cousins. I was really hesitant and kept wondering what if I just keep it. Decades later, i asked my husband if it's weird to keep Barbie as an adult. He told me that if it makes me happy, then I should do what makes me happy. I started collecting since and it's only been a few years but I have run out of space. 😅

Aw same thing happened to me (though I was probably a bit older, maybe 13 or 14), but I had to give my huge 90s Barbie collection to my cousins. And I loved those dolls with all my heart. I got all of them for every Christmas and every birthday too, so I was really attached to them sentimentally. This video reminded me I never really got over that loss. It’s unfair our parents told us to get rid of our Barbie collections. 😢 But I’m glad your husband supports your Barbie collection now. My partner also supports my collection. Luckily we can heal our inner child by getting to keep our collections now. ❤

Real collecting is Enjoyment But , its said if you have more than two . Your a collector.

I believe johnny Depp said in an interview that he collects dolls, it made me love him even more

Dolls are also used in studios for artists who draw comics or make accurate dioramas. When the person actively seeks releases that are not inside stores anymore that becomes a personal mission. If the idea of owned dolls getting sent to thrifts or charities is something that bothers you it’s turning into a different mentality

Ashton Drake made reproduction Blythe dolls and they are spot on. I'll never forget when my dad brought home a box of used toys for boys and girls in the 70s given to him from his friend. I was the only girl and I got the Blythe doll in great condition. As I got older I felt I was too grown up for dolls and gave them all to my cousin. I regret it to this day and want them all back especially my Blythe doll. I am a Barbie and doll collector and haven't been able to find an original Blythe at a good price.

I saw Demi Moore in a doll shop buying Annette Himstedt dolls in 1994. She took a limo from the airport just to get to this one particular shop. It made me feel better about my adult doll collecting.

Kirsten Dunst might be a collector as well.

I had a Blythe doll in 1972 when I was young I was 7 years old

Thanks for this video! This is awesome. My best memories are with my dolls from about age 8-11. I held on to some special pieces and dolls. Thanks to my parents for encouraging me to. I am from the MK & Ashley/Britney S/original Bratz era. I have found myself collecting pretty heavily again from those years. I tired collecting Monster High and Rainbow High. But since I didn’t grow up with it, I found myself not connecting with them shortly after purchase. I found that really interesting. I donated them all without any regrets. So my collecting is very nostalgia based.

Blythes are still released to this day gurl..

Side note: your hair looks amazing

It is really cool learning about celebrities who collect dolls. It makes them more relatable in a way that I can't quite explain. Something I miss though is when you could purchase playsets without having to get the doll it comes with. A good example is the new Touch of Magic Pegasus. The horse comes with accessories but not a doll in sight. This is great when you have dolls but want a horse for the doll already in your collection. Have a wonderful day!.
