You style your boy dolls so well!!

[@illuminuxe]

thanks so much!! i basically dress them with clothes i’d wanna wear haha. i definitely need more doll clothes tho

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Samantha was my 1st ever AG doll in 2017 and it was ofc the current but I love her sm 🥺❤️

[@idreamofjonny]

Welcome to KZbin, my friend! This was such a good first video! Now I get to peer pressure you to make more heheheh 🩵

[@illuminuxe]

i learn from the best 😅 and don’t you worry, i already plan to have my next one up this weekend 🥳

[@therobotdevil2284]

I also collect calico critters but American Girl has been my #1 hyperfixation for most of my life. Can't wait to watch more videos!

[@illuminuxe]

calico critters are the best!! i actually have multiple playsets in this room as well 🙈 and thank you! a new video will be posted this weekend 👌🏽

[@justdreamstudios]

Welcome to the AGtube community! You have such a beautiful collection. :)

[@illuminuxe]

thank you so much!!!

[@americangirlfilms]

My mini me doesn’t have a similar name either!! I love your collection so much!!! You have a great vibe! ❤️

[@illuminuxe]

thanks so much!! i actually watch your videos on my main account, so love that you’re here. your vibe is great as well 🌟💚

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I have also been very inspired by I Dream of Jonny’s channel and collection. Your mini me is so cute! Kirstin is my favourite Historical of the original three as well. ☺️ congrats on your doll channel!

[@illuminuxe]

twins! and thank you so much!!!

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Yess I love Timotheè Chalamet 🥺❤️ My other fave male actors besides him are Charles Melton and Ross Butler who are both half Asian American respectively

[@susanstater4695]

Very good job. I couldn’t tell it was your first video. I have 5 American girl dolls, and I love them all so much; nevertheless, Molly is my comfort doll. She’s seem me through a lot since I’m 76. I also have Kit, Julie, McKena, and #122, whom I named Kennedy. I try to greet them in pjs each night, and in day clothes every morning. Welcome to the AG world.

[@illuminuxe]

i appreciate that so much, thank you! and aw molly is such a sweet girl. what a fun thing to change them each night and day! there are so many cute outfits, i’m not surprised! thank you 💚🌟🫶🏽

[@_lukiepo0kie]

I’m half Filipino and when they released a boy doll who was Asian, it was very exciting. I ended up buying him as my “look-alike” in 2018 and got Jess a few months after. I also had to part his hair in the middle to match mine.. 😭 I am now trying to collect pleasant company, and more versatile pieces.

[@illuminuxe]

wow we have such similar stories!! i’d love to know your favorite pc pieces you’ve found 🌟

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Aww 🥺❤️

[@Bylvia]

P.S. I agree that fixing up dolls creates a strong bond. I used to donate AGs when their limbs loosened, but once I got brave enough to restuff them, I started loving them even more!

[@illuminuxe]

it definitely seems scarier than it really is, and definitely more cost effective!

[@MuffyMay]

OMG same! I have lots of different collections.... I get hyper fixated on a certain one for a while, then switch! 🤣 Anyhow, love your collection! 😍 Welcome to the hobby!

[@illuminuxe]

it’s so nice seeing others like this haha

[@AGPinkCouture-11]

I loved watching this video!!! There were so many things that you mentioned that I resonated with as a new collector, especially in regards to the hyper fixation. i love your collection, kirsten has definitely grown on me, and this video just solidified it. the factory braids are too cute!!

[@illuminuxe]

aw i’m glad you could relate 😅💚 and thank you so much. yes, kirsten’s braids are beautiful but also very scary to touch haha

[@cynspendstoomuch]

yess super excited for your next videos! i also just recently started getting back into ag’s after 8 years of my childhood dolls being in storage 😭 i love buying them in lots and restoring them it’s so satisfying~ i want addy sooo bad 🤧

[@illuminuxe]

honestly the restoration is my favorite part!! thanks so much for tuning in 🫶🏽

[@JosefinaSienna]

Welcome to the AGTube community! I also have the struggle with my shelves with kpop and AG! It’s definitely a struggle with multiple collections! Does your dolls have an ultimate kpop group and bias? I am trying to give each of my dolls their kpop group and their biases. 😅

[@illuminuxe]

ooo no they don’t, but mine are txt loona stayc and seventeen, so i guess those haha. maybe they can stan my favorite newer groups like zb1 and triples!

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Hello I’m also a super rare kpop and ag doll fan 😅

[@abigailaurorataleon9615]

Lovely collection! Really enjoyed this video, looking forward to seeing more of your content. :)

[@illuminuxe]

thanks so much for tuning in 💚 i’m so happy to see people have enjoyed my first video!!

[@laurainthesky3765]

I am a hyperfixating person too! I also have way more dolls than I should for 4 months of collecting. Amazing first video!

[@illuminuxe]

thanks so much!! who do you have so far?

[@laurainthesky3765]

@@illuminuxe TM39 who is a replica of my youngest daughter. My older daughter resembles Rebecca. Plus we are Jewish. Samantha is the doll I begged my parents for and she was too expensive. I bought an early 90s one which I would have had. Cecile was a crazy good price on Craigslist and I had a fun adventure driving over state lines to get her. Hair needed a lot of TLC. Couldn't resist a cheap TLC Caroline. Melody just because. Courtney because I was an 80s kid. Felicity because I impulse bought her on Mercari for a great price with her amazing deep blue holiday dress. Joss- loved her look and impulse bought very cheaply. Recently customized her. Got my first white bodied doll Kirsten recently. I tore apart a TLC Blaire to make a minime. She is still way more tan than me lol. Impulse buyer a very cheap Jess who is in the mail. ☺☺☺

[@illuminuxe]

@@laurainthesky3765 i totally need a white body kirsten!! i also loveee joss but don’t wanna get any goty’s aside from kira since she’s my fave

Oh, my goodness, I love you collection. I am a new collector s well. Good luck on your channel. I will keep watching You're channel, thanks for Sharing your collection with us

[@illuminuxe]

aw thanks so much!!! who do you have so far

[@awkwardlydolls]

i was also a k-pop collector before my focus switched back to ag. i'm right with you on the hyperfixations: i get so obsessed with things (mostly tv/movies/books) so easily, just ask my friends and family haha. looking forward to more videos from you and welcome to agtube!!

[@illuminuxe]

kpop collecting was just getting so stressful and this came into my life as i was phasing out. i love meeting people like me cuz yeah my friends and family probably think im the only one lmao

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

I’m both a K-pop and AG collector (although mine is still small) so I am more of a rare type

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

I have the same Josefina doll but mine needs to be cleaned especially since her hair is messy (I found her at a habitat for 50$). I also have the collecting gene cuz I also have a Barbie collection 😅 but they all stay with my grandma at the moment.

[@Summerrainfalling]

You and Laurie are adorable! 😍 I love your collection so much! 💜 Samantha was my childhood doll and I have also collected her with Nellie from the best friends line. Also, I'd love to see all your collections. 🙂

[@illuminuxe]

thanks so much! and i see you like kpop, i have multiple shelves of kpop albums and binders with photocards lol 😅

[@Summerrainfalling]

@@illuminuxe oh yes kpop is my other obsession 😅🥰

[@rpotpourri1986]

Wow! You’re lucky to get good deals on your dolls! Everytime I checked ebay , the $40-$50 AG are messed up- the hair and no clothes . And some are wayyy overpriced. Same here, I collect different things😍 enjoyed your video kabayan!

[@illuminuxe]

yay nice to see another pinoy collector too! hopefully you can find some good deals soon 💪🏽

[@findingfireflies7422]

Yay! I’m glad to see a new collector whose around my age

Welcome aboard to the American Girl Obsession! I have been collecting American Girl off and on since 2010. My dream goal is to purchase all of Molly's collection. I have six Molly dolls and still have many more to purchase. I mainly collect the historical characters. Your Molly is super cute! Can't wait to see where your collection goes! I am also a huge fan of I Dream of Jonny.

[@illuminuxe]

ahh thanks so much!! i am always tempted to focus on kirsten, then i see everything and i get pulled in every direction of these collections haha. are you collecting beforever collection as well?

[@dianaalmazan69]

@@illuminuxe I completely understand. I am trying to focus on Molly, and then I bought Kirsten's Checked Dress and Apron/Kirsten's On The Trail Outfit. It happens to the best of us. Lol. I plan on purchasing Molly's Beforever collection, but I am not the biggest fan of the Beforever stuff. I mostly buy on eBay.

I fully understand the hyper fixation when collecting. I’m the same way. I just started collecting AG in October 😅. I named my mini me Read as another hobby of mine is reading and collecting books. Lovely collection 🩷

[@illuminuxe]

thank you, and what a cute name!! i love fun names. i don’t think i could ever name a doll something right off the shelf haha

[@deadlynightshade_art]

I get intensely hyper-fixated on collecting things too so it’s nice to see I’m not the only one 😂 i just recently pulled out my dolls from when I was a bit younger and they have taken over my brain! I really enjoyed seeing your collection and excited for more videos! ❤❤

[@illuminuxe]

it’s a blessing and a curse 🙈 and oo which dolls did you have? thank you!

What a fun video! I love hearing about how you're building your collection. I'm a Dream of Jonny fan, too! Personal question: is your necklace representing the Korean flag?

thank you so much! he’s so great!! and it’s actually a yinyang necklace, but i could totally see that 😊

[@molls127]

is that a monchichi up there in the organizer? my aunt used to have a few of them back in the '90s, i think they're super cute!!
