QOTW: Who is on your wishlist?
Written on March 2, 2015 at 12:00 pm by MichelleFiled under: Question of the Week
Like most Blythe enthusiasts, I keep up with the news of new releases. Who’s limited, who’s an RBL+ or an FBL, who has fantastic stock that I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on? And occasionally, these dolls catch my eye in an “Ohh, I wouldn’t mind adding you to the family at all!” but sometimes those feelings are rare. Sometimes it seems that the same old dolls are being released – similar hair colours, similar clothing. And then I end up looking at the older releases, to consider what I had missed.
Older releases are great in that they had some wonderful colour combinations and some wacky outfits (do you all remember Goldie’s jumpsuit with the green accessories) and they just came with more stuff. Belarus (Love Mission) came with two full outfits – including shoes! Bennett (Margaret Meets Ladybug) came in a box shaped like a house and came with a full picnic set with some amazing details.
My wishlist hasn’t changed too much. I’m still wanting to add a BL to the family (Mondrian, Sunday Best, Aztec Arrival), perhaps a few EBLs or SBLs. Of the newer releases, the one that most recently caught my eye was Scotty Mum (for the doll) and Bling Bling Party Fur (for the clothes).
Who is on your wishlist?
Would you believe me if I said NO ONE?! Okay, I don’t believe me either. So I’ll say maybe a Lena Elena, since I don’t have a middie. Neo’s I am very content with who I have though 🙂
My doll wishlist is quite large, but they are not all Blythe dolls. I definitely need a Middie in my collection, since I don’t have one. Back in January, when the Sally Salmagundi preview was released, I got excited. Unfortunately, when I saw the actual doll last month, that excitement vanished. She was missing that wow factor and that is sad as I really liked all the pirate theme.
I’m content with my little family. It is all the STUFF that I’d like to get for them. And that Pink Party Fur outfit is wonderful. I also liked the outfit from the Moroccan doll and the Scotty Mum and her little (Middie) sister outfits. I’ve been eyeing a lot of stock outfits lately, as you can see.

I recently got my dream girl, a minty fresh Modie! But that said, there is always a list, no matter what girls that I have. For stock, I would love a Vinter Arden, Mrs. Retro Mama, Miss Sally Rice, Nostalgic Pop and Midnight Spell. Other girls on my wishlist would be a Tinycutethings, Vanilladolly or Jodiedolls custom. Swoon!
I’d love to get to a point where I feel my collection’s complete – my purse would too! On my list is Parco (!), Mrs Retro Mama and a Kozy – oh and maybe a China-lilly custom Kenner. So very much a wish-list then 😉
I’m absolutely dying to add MSR and MRM to my forever Blythe family, but bc of their high cost, these girls keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list. However, I WAS able to find a gorgeous new Milky Way Sugar, who is on her way to my home AS I WRITE! 🙂 I cannot understand why more collectors don’t share my SBL love, but it’s amazing of me, because sometimes it means I can find a terrific deal and add a classic girl to my collection.
