It’s been exactly 6 months since I shared My Top 5. Let’s see how things have changed…

[@stephmariem]

The happiness I feel when you post is astronomical!!!!

[@DisBlaine]

@@stephmariem WHAT?? That’s so sweet! I hope you liked seeing my most precious babies this time 🤣

[@ThoughtsArrive]

I was so wrong! I thought your Jasmine doll in the background was your all-time favorite, and she wasn’t even in the top 10! Anna surprised me the most, just because she has the light eyes. I absolutely adore my Anna, so in that sense I wasn’t surprised. I love all the stories! Please keep sharing!

[@DisBlaine]

@@ThoughtsArrive welllll technically you were right. I just wasn’t right by glossing over the dolls from my top 5 video. Jasmine was the final doll in that video, so she’s part of the “top 15” No idea why I didn’t give them a shoutout when I put them all behind me for exactly that reason!

[@dollwhirled]

OMG I love Rapunzel in the Julie outfit!! The hair is perfect.

[@DisBlaine]

@@dollwhirled you pulled a double take when you saw her didn’t you? You wondered why Julie looked so good 🤣

[@sarahb9240]

Great video. Thank you for uploading. I didn’t know Cecile had two different wigs during her short time in production. Interesting. I would love to see you continue this into your top 25 dolls. Very enjoyable. Take Care. 🩷

[@DisBlaine]

@@sarahb9240 I only knew of the first wig (sausage curls), so I was a bit thrown when I opened mine-in a good way. I really like this wig but it’s definitely not her more iconic look. Haha I think I’ll go 25 in another 6 months! But I won’t cheat by saying these 10 or the first 5 are exempt

[@melangellperry5984]

Well, I got 3 of your 10. I guessed your new Claudie mold (holiday doll), Blaine and Anna. That was after I realized they weren’t all going to be Claudie and Tiana!🤣🤣

[@DisBlaine]

@@melangellperry5984 I know, I really messed up the intro by omitting that one tiny (imperative lol) detail. But you guessed the 2 I thought no one would!

[@buffmontana4203]

With my dolls everyday my favorites change. I love them all!

[@DisBlaine]

@@buffmontana4203 haha especially when we get new ones!! I had to force myself to choose dolls I’ve had for a few months.

[@janen9393]

Love your videos! I think my favorite from your selection is Cecile, shes gorgeous her hair is so dark with perfect ringlets. I like the boy doll as well very unique. Anna is special.

[@DisBlaine]

@@janen9393 thank you! I was so excited (and relieved) to finally add Cecile to my collection back in May. 🥰

[@nanasewdear]

Cecile was the first doll I bought as a collector. I got her in 2013 so this is my 11th year collecting. I'm supposed to be tidying up my doll room but I'd rather watch you talk about your dolls!

[@DisBlaine]

@@nanasewdear oh no! Don’t let me distract you! People keep telling me they play my vids in the background while they do chores. But I guess it’s harder this time because I’m showing the best of my best dolls 🤣

[@Locktobre]

Yay, Anna made the list! I agree, everyone redressing her makes her look even cuter! I think I will redress mine soon, I just don't know what I want her to wear yet. My correct guesses were Pink Stardust Claudie, Samantha, and Ivy. 😊

[@DisBlaine]

@@Locktobre I’m thought Samantha was as the most obvious… but so far you’re the only one who said her (I think). I never shut up about that doll 🤣 And yes, Anna and Elsa deserve casual clothes to mix and mingle with everyone else. It’s a shame their outfits are so extravagant

[@BrianMalibu]

I love your rapunzel with brown eyes! She’s gorgeous as a modern girlie

[@DisBlaine]

@@BrianMalibu thanks Brian! The eyes make such a difference 😍

[@americangirlfilms]

Wow I only got one right, Cecile! You picked an amazing bunch as your favorites, your Samantha is gorgeous! ❤️❤️

[@DisBlaine]

@@americangirlfilms haha well I totally messed up the intro by not pointing out the 5 dolls behind me i was disqualifying for being in my old video.

[@MiMi-tj5zf]

I now have a Need to see those decal eyes in person!

[@DisBlaine]

@@MiMi-tj5zf I never shut up about them 🤣🤣 I hope they live up to the hype lol.

[@Latinart]

Fun video and your order of 10-1 was very insightful. Mari Grace mold is one of my faves. Her eye color is common. But I just find her to be so charming. I like a hazel eye Mari Grace mold. FYI I got my 2nd dinner and it arrived in once piece.

[@DisBlaine]

@@Latinart wow what a relief!! Are you going to set it up soon? I can’t believe how long it took me to get around to it - I could’ve been enjoying it way sooner!

[@Latinart]

@@DisBlaine yes I’m actually in the process of creating a doll room. I been deboning and enjoying my dolls and big ticket items.

[@DisBlaine]

@@Latinart it’s so much work right? But the fun kind. 🥳

[@BarbieGuy-gb9zw]

When I think about Blaine - I think about Glee.

[@DisBlaine]

@@BarbieGuy-gb9zw I was so excited when he joined the show-because then I could say, “Blaine, like from Glee” 🤣🤣

[@strawberrygirlie76]

Such beautiful dolls!! I think Crystal and Daneia are my favourites! ♥️♥️

[@DisBlaine]

@@strawberrygirlie76 and know what they have in common? Those light brown eyes - then again, I think half the dolls in this video had the same ones oops.

[@strawberrygirlie76]

Hee hee!! Yes, I noticed that!!! So lovely!!!

[@nildajurado8423]

Hi they are all beautiful I hope to get Ivy someday I enjoy your videos and I haven’t been working because of my knee and your videos really help me feel better ❤thanks for sharing

[@DisBlaine]

@@nildajurado8423 awwww Nilda, I hope you’re okay soon! And I hope you have lots of vids to watch so you rest your knee. That’s a terrible injury!!

[@StylasStudioDolls]

I guessed they’d be Claudie, Tiana, Pink Stardust, Claudie, Claudie, Claudie,… Lol! Great picks! I love your CYOs and I’m so glad u included Ivy. She’s on my wishlist for sure!

[@strawberrygirlie76]

Eee! Rocky Mountain Sweater in the background!!!!!!! 😆😆😆♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@DisBlaine]

@@strawberrygirlie76 I wasn’t supposed to pull it out until winter but I couldn’t wait anymore - I’m so glad you noticed it 😁

[@mykls2153]

Hi Blaine! 😊 Thanks for sharing more of your favorites with us. They are all beautiful and handsome, but I've come to expect nothing less...lol. I love that Whiskers and Paws outfit... going to have to keep any eye out for a sale. 😅 Until you mentioned having a rare or uncommon name, I didn't give it a second thought because all my life, Ive had an older cousin named Blaine and weve always shared fun stories about him. It's a normal name to me. Thanks again!!

[@DisBlaine]

@@mykls2153 pahaaaa and I used your name as one of the examples of a “common” name I wanted as a kid (the shade!!). Maplelea sent out an email that their prices are going up at the end of September-so I wonder what sales will look like in the future. I’m trying to buy as much of their stuff as I want in the next 2 weeks 🤣

[@Princesseviesplayground]

I enjoyed this one soo much! I watched while working on a pain in the butt crafting session lol 😊

[@DisBlaine]

@@Princesseviesplayground oh no lol. I hope this didn’t distract you and add to that pain 😆

[@nailahvenable7989]

The new Maplelea doll really looks better. She looks cute in your background. I understand having an unusual name and just giving up on trying to correct people. Now I demand say my name properly or I don't answer them it is about respect. Nice selection of dolls thanks for sharing them and their story. I got a CYO Addy mold just before they raised the price . It has not arrived yet and I am excited to see it as it will be my only CYO t this point. I was surprised it was not 10 Claudie molds

[@DisBlaine]

@@nailahvenable7989 yay I’m glad you noticed my Maplelea girl back there! I love her so much. Haha I think if I don’t care about a person, I don’t care if they say my name properly. Oooh I want to hear more about your CYO!! I’m so glad you got one in time. I’ll miss making them.

[@eliseelliot]

Commenting WELL before finishing the video to just say that I about SCREAMED when I saw Kiana (sp?) in that outfit with her hair all fixed up. STOP TEMPTING ME TO BUY HER.

[@DisBlaine]

@@eliseelliot did it work?? Did you order her?? lol I forgot to warn everyone that they don’t have much longer to get her before I buy them all up 🤣

[@eliseelliot]

@DisBlaine Nooooo... I just don't have that kind of money to spend on a doll! Mostly because I am saving my money right now so I can IMMEDIATELY buy all of the upcoming Janie and Jack collab, because I LOVE the modern homages to the historical dolls. (I assume you've seen the pics on Insta? Three outfits, inspired by Samantha's xmas dress, Elizabeth's riding habit, and Kirsten's winter skirt.) I NEED AG to give me a TM with the Claudie mold. I can justify that expense in a way I can't for an LE doll right now. So please, buy them all up- you will love her right, and spare my wallet!

[@eliseelliot]

Also, adding: love these 10, but Kiana definitely is at the top of the list for me. Hardcore challenge mode: rank EVERY doll you own. And then suffer, lol. Thank you for sharing this! Really appreciated the longer story on your Ivy!

[@DisBlaine]

@@eliseelliot oops, yep I’m a total bad influence. But yes I know the collection. You’ll need about $300 for 1 of everything. And somehow, that ribbon sweater is supposed to be inspired by Addy and Samantha, not Elizabeth. But Elizabeth I can actually see!

[@DisBlaine]

@@eliseelliot I’ve wondered if I could rank all my dolls - maybe by tiers at the most. Considering it took me a couple days to record an all my dolls video that ended up being 2+ hours, I don’t want to know 🤣🤣

[@Emily-oq1on]

Okay before even starting….. not sure if Claudie/Tiana will be considered one or multiple but 1. Claudie 2. Tiana 3. Cecile 4. Ivy 5. Nicki’s friend (idk her name) 6 purple hair Cecile 7. Kaya 8. Blue hair Josephina 9. Melody 10. Anna??? 11. Claudie

[@DisBlaine]

@@Emily-oq1on wow I’m surprised how many you got right!! And I’m sure you would’ve gotten more if I had been clear in the beginning about only 1 Claudie mold doll. Nikki’s bff was in my first video (top 5) so she definitely is included in the list I wasn’t expecting anyone to guess Anna!

[@sarahb9240]

I have to leave another comment as I just got an email from Maplelea about their decision to increase prices. I completely understand this decision. But they totally burned AG by mentioning their competitor’s t-shirt dresses, molded plastic shoes, and disposable box, as opposed to Maplelea’s nice clothing details and keepsake box. Whoa. 😆 I do appreciate Maplelea quality and their very nice doll box though. But wow, that was unexpected from them.

[@DisBlaine]

@@sarahb9240 haha Canadians are so passive aggressive! I forgot to mention the $5 price increase when I opened my maplelea and me doll, so I’ll try to remember when I open Saila soon. Now I wonder if they’re going up another $5. The email says $125=$92 USD but they’re only $120 right now.

[@DisBlaine]

@@sarahb9240 the price is going up again! I ordered Saila today-and there’s one more and me doll I want. Should I order her ahead of time? $5 is $5 🤣

[@sarahb9240]

​@DisBlaine we have Saila and love her! We will look forward to that video. 😃 I can't wait to see who your next choice will be.

[@sjordan9586]

@@DisBlaineYes! I’ve wanted #15 and your recent video and the price increase makes me ready to order her.

[@DisBlaine]

@@sarahb9240 welllll I’m thinking mayyyyybe 2 more after Saila. I’m terrible and must be stopped!

[@Kelly_Molly_Sarah]

My guesses were Onika (Oneka?) but she was in the top five, and that Samantha. 😊 Great video!

[@DisBlaine]

@@Kelly_Molly_Sarah I really failed at the intro! I meant to point them out (the top 5) and say only 1 Claudie Mold doll was allowed-but I got distracted by wanting to get her on the table 🥴

[@Rayven444]

I love your channel! What’s a dreamer doll?! My five favorites are ELSA, BLAIRE, CLAUDIE, MARIE GRACE, and my CYO

[@DisBlaine]

@@Rayven444 oops, “dreamer eyes” are really only considerd exist on Molly and Kirsten. It’s when the irises look like they’re sort of floating, more white shows around, as if they’re gazing up at the stars or day dreaming. I don’t care how many people tell me there are in Dreamer Samantha dolls - I have one 🤣 But ooooh tell me about you cyo! What designs did you choose?

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Blaine. I am going to guess before I even watch the video or read any comments. Claudie, Tiana, Stardust Claudie, Cecile, Pleasant Co Samantha, No 4, Custom Jasmine? I think the rest are numbers I don’t remember! LOL Now I will watch the video. 😉

[@DisBlaine]

@@CherishedDollFriends hi Cheryl, you probably would’ve guessed every doll if I had explained in the intro who was exempt from this list (Jasmine and tm4 were in my top 5, and I could only pick 1 Claudie mold doll). But yes all the dolls you listed are in my “top 15” 🤣

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Blaine, I think I am getting to know your collection quite well! I’m so bad with the numbered dolls though. Anna is one I really like too. Funny I have Ivy but she would not be in my top 10. Possibly because I got her for $65 from a local seller. She didn’t have her meet outfit. I guess it was before I realized how sought after she was. Anyways I like her more now that I’ve had her. Her hair is so soft and pretty. She is my only Jess mold doll. I like your name by the way. The only other time I have heard the name is from the place called Blaine, Washington which isn’t that far from me here in Canada. 😄I think my favourite in this top 10 is Stardust Claudie ❤

[@DisBlaine]

@@CherishedDollFriends I couldn’t imagine just casually having Ivy and NOT being obsessed 🤣 To me she’s that ultimate grail doll. And yeah it’s funny how there are more places on earth called Blaine than there are people!

[@Rayven444]

I met ONE BLAINE! A female who would be around 43 now.

[@DisBlaine]

@@Rayven444 I’ve met a couple people who’ve met another Blaine. But I’ve also been asked what Blaine stands for, as if it’s an acronym 😆☠️😆

[@Razzberry_dollz]

I’m pretty sure dreaming Samantha’s don’t exist Sense the dreamer eye isn’t about how it sits it’s about how small the pupils are :)

[@DisBlaine]

@@Razzberry_dollz listen! I said I’m choosing to believe she’s a dreamer. Why do you want to take that away from me? 🤣🤪🤣

[@Razzberry_dollz]

@@DisBlaine blame it on Johnny hehe !

[@DisBlaine]

@@Razzberry_dollz so you’re blaming Johnny? Wowwwww. 🤪

[@ladero01]

I guessed the new Claudie mold, Samantha, and Ivy. I had a few other guesses before you said your old top 5 was not in contention.

[@DisBlaine]

@@ladero01 I expected Samantha to be more obvious than she was 😆

[@gflo_lover]

Agh your collection is so stunning 🤩 This is off topic but how do you organize your collection? I have close to 100 dolls and nearly complete historical collections so there is quite a lot and its hard to keep track 😵‍💫

[@DisBlaine]

@@gflo_lover I have Detolf cabinets set up all over my apartment, and then a few other display areas. Collecting is such a huge part of my life I revolve my entire home around it 🤡 But yes it does take some ingenuity. Try some different things, and have fun with it! Also I know some people only have a certain number of dolls our at a time and rotate their displays (I would lose my mind because I need to see it alllllll)

[@AndreaA127]

Love ur collection, but honey Marie Grace eyes are not really grey blue my marie grace has a greener eye color like a light green they call them light blue eyes but it was marketed as aquamarine eyes, i wish marie grace had more light blue eyes as she was my first and still favorite doll.

[@DisBlaine]

@@AndreaA127 ohhhhh do they look like the same eyes Rapunzel comes with? They described them as green blue on the site but my brain reads it as blue grey.

[@AndreaA127]

@@DisBlaine no marie grace eyes are a bit more greener like a light green there is no grey in marie grace eyes, so they are not the same color but its sometimes so hard to tell fro, the website the rapunzel looks to have alot of grey in her eyes.

[@DisBlaine]

@@AndreaA127 it could also just be me lol. But I think the Josefina pink stardust doll has the Rapunzel eye color. So I’ll stop saying Marie grace. I don’t have her to say anyway (someone else said that and I’ve just been rolling with it lol)

[@gingerdean1521]

Blaine Are you saying detail or decal eyes? Show us really close some time please

[@DisBlaine]

@@gingerdean1521 oops I tend to talk too fast. Decal eyes, but I probably sound like I’m saying detail. You wamt to see the eyes really close? Haha I wouldn’t mind putting the decal eyes right up to the camera!

[@divineandbeautiful78]

How do you spell the name of the first doll? And I love that outfit.

[@DisBlaine]

@@divineandbeautiful78 Kiana - Tiana with a K because I couldn’t figure out how to start it with a C like Claudie 😆

[@divineandbeautiful78]

@@DisBlainethat’s a common spelling for that name. But then again, it has many spellings. Quiana is a spelling for that as well 😊
