Ranking All My American Girl Boy Dolls

[@thoward3523]

I love this video. I feel like the boys usually don’t get as much love as the girls. Admittedly, I have yet to collect any boy dolls. Thank you for sharing again. I truly appreciate it.💕💕💕💕

[@DisBlaine]

@@thoward3523 it’s actually like that in every community I’ve been a part of! Boy dolls just don’t sell as well. That’s why I like to go extra on them … yeah that’s my excuse 🤪

[@crystalbluepersuasion3897]

Another good video. Sterling looks like he should be Amish. Blaine and Tommy are my favorites. Back in the 80’s it used to have legal to smoke in bars and nightclubs. I would come home with my clothes reeking of smoke. Since I had lots of vintage outfits that I couldn’t put in the washer, I would spray them with vodka, and hang them out in the fresh air. It works! Use the cheapest vodka you can find, and put it in a spray bottle. When it dries you don’t smell anything. 😊

[@DisBlaine]

@@crystalbluepersuasion3897 I can’t believe 2 people commented under this video that Sterling looks Amish! No ones ever said it before, so I wonder what looks different about him this time lol. If the winter air doesn’t help Tommy, I may try that. I know I’ll like him so much more when he can stay inside lol. Bingo halls were like that in the 80s too. I remember my brother working at one and quitting because he got sick over it. What a time!

Fantastic collection of boys!! They're all adorable and dressed so cute! Thanks for sharing!

[@DisBlaine]

@@puddintame296 yay thank you! They’re so cute I could talk about them forever. In this video I probably did 🤓

[@settheworldonfire94]

I wouldn’t buy many boy dolls, but it is SO important to have them. All kids who want dolls should be able to see themselves in their dolls. I’m with you in that if I don’t want it, I’m not mad it exists. I’m glad other people have things they enjoy. Also, the doll you’ve named Billy is absolutely adorable. I love the light blonde.

[@DisBlaine]

@@settheworldonfire94 I’m grateful when something exists that I don’t want. Too bad it’s so rare 🤣

[@melangellperry5984]

Ahh!! I love your boy dolls! I don’t know how you can rank them!! That would be so hard! There are so many wig differences amongst the 77’s. I know when he was first released, the wig was longer. I had planned on cutting it if I ever got him to make a tighter cut. By the time I got my 77, the wigs were shorter and I was happy with his stock wig. I love seeing different versions of him, they all look so unique. I was thrilled when AG released Logan. I adore boy dolls. I don’t know why people have such a hard time with it. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it but don’t make the rest of us nit have something we want just because you don’t. Like you said, the more of something there is, the better. Having options doesn’t hurt you, just stick to what you like, but let others have their pick if the options. I get so sick of the attitude that giving people other options somehow decreases what they want or have. Anyway, back to cute boy dolls. I live your Blaine doll. The curly blond wig is very cute. I also like the red headed CYO boy in the cowboy outfit (sorry, blanking on his name). Can’t wait to see the dressing for Hanukkah video.

[@DisBlaine]

@@melangellperry5984 maybe my fave 77 is older with his longer wig. But I do love all the 77 wigs. Maybe people get mad about things they don’t like because of what you said, that it decreases options of things they want. Like, instead of there being only 4 dolls they want, they could want a 5th one if it wasn’t a boy. Whereas I have so many I’m like YESSS, finally a doll I don’t want ☠️🤣

[@lnp102]

What a lovely collection! Creating a boy doll was actually what got me back into collecting AG as an adult! I couldn't believe that after all those years AG still hadn't made a boy doll. So I watched KZbin tutorial videos, bought a used TM doll and a wig, and made my first boy doll. He's no longer in my collection, but I currently have a custom Josefina mold boy. I also have a custom Joss mold doll that switches genders and sometimes wears a "boy" wig because Joss makes such a cute boy! I don't remember you talking about this in a video so I'll mention it (apologies if you already were aware of this), but while there are some people that wish AG never made boy dolls, most people were upset with the whole Logan thing because AG used Kaya's face mold for a boy, perpetuating the awful stereotype that Native American women have masculine looking features. They most likely did it because they were planning to differentiate the boy dolls by giving them closed mouths, but it was still thoughtless and insensitive. Kaya is my favorite doll/face mold and I did eventually purchase Logan, but I was very conflicted and just found that I didn't love him. I was also angry at AG for adding Kaya's mold to the CYO generator as the boy version (thicker Logan brows), not the standard feathered brows like the other molds (in fact when it first launched, you could only pair the Kaya mold with the new short "boy" wigs). I don't like that her mold has become the default boy doll for CYOs. Having said that, I do think your Kaya CYO boys are especially cute though!

[@djg5950]

My first CYO boy doll was a Lindsey that I bought used to make a boy (only $40). I cut her hair to make Taylor. Some people in the doll groups were giving me some flack because, they said, Lindsey was their favorite. How could I cut her hair ? So I bought a second used Lindsey (also only $40) and now have my twins, Lindsey and Taylor Taylor. This was before AG made the Nicki and Isabel Hoffman twins. I acquired two Kayas ($30 & $35) and pulled the wig on the one that had really dry hair. I added a black boy wig. Still unnamed but another custom boy. Monique Trading Post (out of business) had boy wigs in several colors (even white and gray) and I stocked up with several boy wigs. They also had the boy doll shoes in black and brown and I bought several pair during the final sale. I currently have bought or customized and planned (have the wigs) for at least 17 - 18 boys. I'm obsessed with collecting and creating boy dolls. Some are from girl dolls so not all have a closed mouth smile but I have all 7 of the AG boys and two TM #75.

[@DisBlaine]

@@lnp102 that’s how I got started making customs: watching tutorials on here. AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!! 🤣 Yeah I’ve talked about the Kaya thing, sometimes more in depth than others. This might be the first time I didn’t address when talking about my love for the mold as boy dolls-and keeping the girl version exclusive to Kaya because if the significance. AG might justify their choice by saying they don’t want other girls to have the mold because it was made especially for her. I’ve also said masculine , feminine, you can be beautiful either way (masculine woman, feminine man) and that kids only look masculine or feminine by style choices. Wow I usually go on a tangent when I talk about Logan 🤣🤣

[@DisBlaine]

@@djg5950 sometimes that crosses my mind when I share customs, especially limited edition customs. People haven’t made any negative comments… but those videos do get more dislikes than normal 🤪

All your boy dolls are so adorable. ❤

[@DisBlaine]

@@delmafahie7088 thank you! The boys have so much personality.

[@azeverinarizona1931]

Such a cute line up! Great job dressing, they all look so cute! I’m with you, very hard to “rate” my dolls. A couple weeks ago I was asked to share my favorite 3 dolls. Well, I ended up with 4 and had the 5th tucked along for the ride, lol. Had to narrow it down further when asked which doll would I grab in case of fire. (clarifying AFTER all people and pets were out of harms way) Actually , if I had the time, I’d just scoop up an armful on the way out. 😅. Thank you again for another great video❤

[@DisBlaine]

@@azeverinarizona1931 yes! Picking faves is hard-and I think they’ll always change, same with ranking. Change a doll’s outfit, and they feel brand new. I think that’s why I try to find a signature outfit and judge them fairly lol. There’s nothing wrong with loving every single one of them!

[@paulettepalmer4860]

Yeah, Sterling!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love the boy dolls, especially their clothes! I call them my little men.😊 AG, please make more boy clothes! Thank you, Blaine!👏

[@DisBlaine]

@@paulettepalmer4860 haha yes when I put them in fancier clothes, they feel like little gentlemen. Boy dolls are so much fun to redress it’s a shame we don’t have more options for them.

[@annettefedd488]

They're also unique. I don't know if I would have been able to rank them. I only own three, but i'm trying to get more for my collection.Thank you again for sharing.

[@DisBlaine]

@@annettefedd488 it’s silly how hard ranking them is, but it’s fun in a way figuring out what I particularly enjoy about a doll.

[@gingerdean1521]

MY 77 is Melody's brother Dwayne and I made him a vest out of the same fabric as Melody's Xmas dress

[@DisBlaine]

@@gingerdean1521 well that makes the most sense. Now that you say that, that’s the reason 77 is in the promo pics for the recording studio isn’t it? He’s supposed to be her brother 🤯

[@eliseelliot]

Gosh, you make it tempting to expand my collection even further by adding some boy dolls to it...

[@DisBlaine]

@@eliseelliot nahhhh just live vicariously through other people’s collections. That way you stay more controlled than someone like me 🫣

[@kevincook8888]

Sodium Bicarbonate ie "baking soda". Put the doll in a container or large plastic bag, cover liberally with baking soda, seal and let the doll sit for a few days to a week. One to two "treatments" should remove the odor completely.

[@DisBlaine]

@@kevincook8888 thanks Kevin! It seems so obvious now that it’s pointed out (that’s the very reason I open a box in my fridge!) so I’ll definitely give it a try.

He is still on AG website. Look for him in the after Xmas sale. AG dolls are made in China. If Trump does the 25% tariff on China the prices will go up

Thanks Blaine. Since a previous video I have had a few arrive or bought here on UK shores and even a Maplelea who had an interesting journey plus the OG guys .Considering I had no AG a few months ago. :-)

[@DisBlaine]

@@dazb9013 a Maplelea doll! Which one did you get? I wonder how expensive the shipping is to UK from Canada. When I ship there, it’s unbelievable!

[@crystalbluepersuasion3897]

Hi Blaine, I haven’t watched this video yet, I have a question for you first. I have a chance to get Joss’s surf bus, like new with accessories for $600. I see it on EBay for $1000. And up, so it seems like a good deal to me. Does it to you? Thank you.

[@DisBlaine]

@@crystalbluepersuasion3897 it retailed for $650 USD, so that sounds like a great deal, especially if it’s complete!!! I got mine for half the retail price BUT! It was missing a few accessories, ones I don’t care to chase. Honestly, it really is as magnificent as people say. It’s fun to play with OR a spectacular display piece. I hope you’re not too late because I took too long to reply!

[@crystalbluepersuasion3897]

@@DisBlaineThank you so much! I have an appointment today to pick it up, so you answered in time. 😊

[@djg5950]

Yes, Pop of Plaid. Close enough. That you mentioned that the pants were soft, I hadn't compared them to other AG or Maplelea boy pants but, they are very soft. That is the outfit that I bought 3 of because of those black pants, black shoes, and mostly because I needed the white shirts to make other Christmas outfits by changing the tie and vest. Plus because they were on sale after Christmas they were only $20 apiece. Excellent price for pants, shoes (better quality AG boy dress shoes) and white dress shirts. First set I only paid $34 because it was with a bonus discount. I only have one TM #77 and don't see him for resale in my area, black dolls aren't as popular, it seems, in Northern New England. Never seen one, girl or boy doll for sale locally. Yours does have a different wig. Doesn't seem as tight as my #77. Makes him look totally different. I'll try to buy another. Maybe AG will "find" some other ones like they did last Christmas with TM #75. He's listed as being "retired" in 2024. Same as TM #75. I just recently got a used Logan in perfect condition for $50 (lowered after 4 days of being listed for $75 so I saved $25 waiting awhile - people are moving soon) and last week received a perfect condition TM #76 (removed the three white spots on his face easily) for $100 (S&H $25) so that completed my AG boys. I was obsessed with finding all 7 AG boy dolls for a reasonable price (if used) and just got lucky over the past two weeks. I also make customs so have about the same amount of boys as you do. Two red-heads, BTW, still needing a face-up (freckles for one, darker, stronger eyebrows). It's fun making your own customs and cheaper than buying AG custom dolls.

[@djg5950]

P.S. Now that I've watched the complete video all of my custom boys are girl molds (teeth showing). The boys aren't for sale around my area often unless they are listed for over $125 and the two Logans that were listed for $50 sold as soon as they were posted so I missed getting him twice before. I have two TM #75 that I bought from AG last Christmas and was going to customize one with a different wig but think I'll keep them as twins: Randy and Andy. Maybe make them my Canadians because of the Maplelea Ice Hockey team (4 CAD, 4 USA). I have so many Maplelea outfits that I need to call at least some Canadians. What's a common French (Canadian) last name for them ?

[@DisBlaine]

@@djg5950 oops yes you reminded me the name last time too - and let me know it came out last year, not the year before 🤣

[@DisBlaine]

@@djg5950 I like the French Canadian last name Gagnon or Gagnier. It means a farmer (or peasant 👀) but it sounds like gagner, which means to win. Fitting for an athlete lol. It’s pronounced gine-yon (yon is like yo but nasal at the end)

[@djg5950]

@@DisBlaine I worked with people with the last name of Gagnon. I might have pronounced it the American English way, LOL ! That's a good name. Pronounced the way it's spelled. Gag - non.

[@SDjilliaRE]

Present 🤚 Also do you remember talking about the Citrine birthstone pack? I bought it this holiday sale and it's great. Can't use the dress or the choker (maybe boy Sailor Venus next Halloween?) but the rest of the pieces were definitely worth it!

[@SDjilliaRE]

Pedro is so cute! I never thought of doing a Kaya custom but I love it. Tommy is cute too! He makes me wish the TM range was more diverse. With the smell, it will fade. Luckily the fact that he's AG helps a lot. Cigarette smoke washes out of fabric, which is great for the body and stuffing. Hollow limbs mean less material for the smoke to seep into as well. Plus the fact that you removed the old hair and eyes should also help a bit. You can try to rush the smell out, but it's still gonna take time. These initial steps you're taking should at least make him good enough to keep inside. Then as long as you let him air out naturally and avoid putting him in storage, he should be golden by this time next year. I don't get the boy hate either. I think I've said this about boy dolls before, but I wanted to get into AG as a boy and wanted one that looked like me. So having a boy now as an adult is really important to me. I got a #76 too since I last commented! He really looks like a Carlos doesn't he. Mine is named Jesse but Jesse Carlos has been on my mind for a while now lol I bought more of Courtney's collection on the same too. It's so hard when the aesthetic is good and 80% of it is unisex! Jericho has been one of my favorites since you've showcased him. The outfit is PERFECT on him. I almost ordered it myself but the drama with the thread bleeding made me too nervous lmao Maybe someday.

[@DisBlaine]

@@SDjilliaRE I wonder if you can tuck the dress into pants and make it look like a top. I don’t really use the dress either but I do like it… just not as much as the rest of the outfit!

[@DisBlaine]

@@SDjilliaRE yeah I bet the odor will fade on its own. Hopefully he can come back inside soon 😆 See? Boy dolls matter! The market is smaller for sure, but they deserve some recognition. I’m sure I’ve seen other people call him Carlos and that made me see it-and might be why I’m not convinced it’s his name lol. I’ll be redressing Jericho in my next video… so I’ll see if the cowboy outfit stains 🤐

[@SDjilliaRE]

@@DisBlaine I've thought about it. The design will make it a little awkward but I can try it out sometime. And I agree, it's a cute dress but I've loved that jacket ever since I first saw it and I can't wait to use it. The hat and shoes are cuter than I thought as well and I'm very glad the belt is separate. A little flimsy but I can work with it lmao

[@SDjilliaRE]

@@DisBlaine For sure. Even if we're unwanted, I'll still be here lmao If it does stain, hopefully it's just the thread spots. Have you tried using benzoyl peroxide and sunlight? I know it can be scary but I've had a lot of luck with it on my Barbies and Kens.

[@kerrysmiles]

Put a cup of coffee grounds and a cup of baking soda right next to the doll for a while. That will work better whereas the dryer sheet will just add more chemical and fragrance.

[@kerrysmiles]

Baking soda and coffee absorb smells and coffee just smells much better than anything else a doll can smell like.

I don't love the Kaya mold for AG first boy doll, and I also don't like closed mouth only for boys!! If we will have both open and closed mouth dolls, it should be like the Bitty Twins where some gender swapped with the mouths. The unintentional implication made with using the Kaya mold for Logan just doesn't land well for me. 😢 He's super cute, but I think now that we have different boy doll options, he probably won't join my collection.
