Ranking All My American Girl Truly Me Dolls

[@kb8990]

At the risk of sounding like a weirdo I think you and Kristie at AG Takes Over are the most thoughtful humans on KZbin. You have such a way of talking and choosing your words and there’s just a lot of care that you take about things that is really exceptional for how humans are. 👏🏻💛

[@DisBlaine]

@@kb8990 hmmm well I do know what you mean about Kristie, but then sometimes I think I’m so blunt I could benefit from a script. Then again, I don’t watch my videos back, so it might not be as bad as it is in my head 😆

[@the.bonecollector]

Your imagination and creativity for your truly me's backstories and personalities are so delightful to hear about. I do the same thing with mine; glad to know I'm not the only one😂

[@DisBlaine]

@@the.bonecollector WHAT?? Yes that is amazing. Many have chimed in that they love the backstories but no one else seems to come up with any.

[@sjordan9586]

It’s funny because #122 is probably in my top five Truly Me dolls. I love the highlights and softness of her wig. Your dolls are all very pretty!

[@DisBlaine]

@@sjordan9586 that’s what I love about dolls being diverse / having variety: different things will appeal to different people. And love that you love her wig (and I really don’t hate it lol, I was looking for things to determine where to rank everyone)

[@nildajurado8423]

I am always amaze on your dolls clothing the outfits are so beautiful ❤

[@DisBlaine]

@@nildajurado8423 we can thank American Girl and Maplelea for that 😆

[@pamelagilbert8077]

your #122 is gorgeous😍 very interesting video as always, love looking at all your dolls😄

[@DisBlaine]

@@pamelagilbert8077 welllll I love showing them off, so that’s the best compliment 🥹

[@papermoonjournals]

Thank you so sharing your girls! What a lot of work too! I have a terrible time ranking dolls. I love them all too, I can see why it’s so hard. Love you and your content. You have such great style 🤓🤩

[@DisBlaine]

@@papermoonjournals haha yeah as much as this is supposed to be fun (and it is of course) it’s funny how I can stress over something so silly. Like I’m uploading this ranking video, so it’s set in stone now 🤣

[@papermoonjournals]

@ I feel like their feeling will be hurt too- like they will know. Great video 🤩

[@DisBlaine]

@ haha I feel like the doll version of CAS might come to rescue the girls at the bottom of my list ☠️😵

[@kerrysmiles]

The story about Elsie is so sweet. We love you just the you are you don't need to feel embarrassed about loving on your dolls when lonely or alone. I do that too 🍓 and so does my Mom.

[@DisBlaine]

@@kerrysmiles haha I don’t think I’d have this channel if I were embarrassed about how much I love my dolls. I’d probably be a lot more cuddly with them if I didn’t worry about dirty the vinyl lol. I’ve refreshed so many used dolls I’m kind of fussy about keeping them pristine

[@onlyalisaawilliams]

Yesssss .. American Thanksgiving surprise,, I’m about to settle in with some desert and enjoy this video,, Thanks Blaine.

[@DisBlaine]

@@onlyalisaawilliams it’s a long one too - but not on purpose OR expected 😵

[@kerrysmiles]

Mom and I just checked your channel hoping for something and then this notification popped up... It's like you knew we needed you!

[@DisBlaine]

@@kerrysmiles okay now I feel better this video turned out longer than I expected 🤪

[@DisBlaine]

@@kerrysmiles haha I guess I did so many vids in a row this one felt overdue

[@kerrysmiles]

We're loving it 🍓 half way through and we could even watch a longer one 😆

[@DisBlaine]

@ when I’m recording these videos with so many cuts - they feel longer! 😆 The nice thing about a one take video is I know how long it as by glancing at the monitor.

[@melissazhai]

I love the world building you have for your dolls. I should do the same

[@DisBlaine]

@@melissazhai hey you! Tbh it’s a big part of the fun of collecting AG for me, so I definitely recommend it 🤓

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Blaine! So many cute dolls! I loved your Canadian girlie number 7. It must have been so challenging to choose their order in the ranking. It was fun to see them all. Thanks for doing this video! I have not come across any dolls with silver eye yet. I think it would be interesting to have one. Your number two is really cute! Love the Elton John glasses. 😄

[@DisBlaine]

@@CherishedDollFriends hey Cheryl! Haha you may have the same bias toward 7 as I do: it’s all that Canadiana 😆 but kidding aside I did get a good one-rare with me and Josefina dolls. Now I’m torn between keeping 2’s eyes silver or making them my favorite color (Tenney brown)

[@strawberrygirlie76]

Candi is a Canadian singer!! That's awesome you have a doll inspired by her!! Memories of grade seven!!!

[@DisBlaine]

@@strawberrygirlie76 Candi’s look in Under Your Spell is what inspired her. I loved Candi and the Backbeat as a kid. But I kinda forgot they were Canadian 🤓

[@reeset2198]

This is truly an AG multi-verse!

[@DisBlaine]

@@reeset2198 I knowwww 🥴 I’m pretty ridiculous lol.

[@settheworldonfire94]

Tawny is giving debut-era Taylor Swift. I think Tenney is a beautiful doll, despite the fair controversy behind her, but Tawny is a great substitute. I love the Joss mold, and I’ve been considering 122. Yours is so sweet. Your 117 is the first Marie-Grace mold I’ve really liked. She is a very cute doll! Your 58 is the cutest addy mold I think I’ve ever seen. That wig really suits the addy mold well. I knew 121 would be in your top 5. She’s a beautiful joss mold with the look you like. I love love love my 121. I think I’ve mentioned before that mine is becoming Ruthie, but I may get another one to be a contemporary character. TM 4 is so beautiful. I wish they’d bring back that mold. I like her so much more than the Jess mold. Overall this is a great ranking!! I love seeing all your TM dolls together. I hope you do a contemporary/world by us/GOTY ranking! It is such a great way to show off some beautiful and often underrated dolls.

[@DisBlaine]

@@settheworldonfire94 oh you’re totally right! I don’t follow Taylor swift enough to see it on my own but that’s exactly how she looks. Were you already familiar with 58? There’s definitely variation but I’ve never seen one that looks like the stock photo. And yes I totally remember 121 being Ruthie for you. Shortly after I saw someone post the same thing in a doll group and I wondered if it was you! And yeah the contemporary doll ranking is definitely coming but I’m hoping I can get the last goty on my wish list first. Christmas is around the corner…

[@settheworldonfire94]

@ I’ve only ever seen stock photos of 58, but they really don’t do her justice. Seeing yours was the first time she really struck me as a beautiful doll. That might’ve been me, especially if it was on Reddit. I am in a couple of Facebook groups, too! I hope you’re able to grab that last doll for Christmas! I really look forward to your videos.

[@DisBlaine]

@ it was in a fb group. Wonder if I can find it, one sec. Wow, no luck. Thought that would be easy. I’m sure I’ll find my last goty. Once I get my stubborn mind set on something…

[@settheworldonfire94]

@ I’m the same way, so I get it. I’m actually watching your GOTY video right now. Is the other doll you’re looking for Lindsey? She’s so cute and very underrated. I think it’s her freckles and her hair. But she’s definitely on my list, too!

[@eliseelliot]

I really enjoy these rankings that you do; it's truly fascinating to see the different aspects of a doll that raise or lower them in your collection, even though we know you only have dolls in your collection that you love. I'm really looking forward to when we get Ifrat's story- I'm so curious about her. There were some dolls I was surprised to see so low (123, Tiffany- just because she's an 80s doll and I know you love your 80s collection), while other dolls surprised me for being so high (basically any classic mold doll, lol), but they were all lovely to see and hear your opinions on. I went through my much smaller TM collection and ranked them, and here is what I got for my 11 dolls: 1) TM112, Carnes 2) TM58, Ariadne 3) TM54, Ramona 4) TM127, Zahra 5) TM43, Elena 6) TM17, Donna 7) TM26, Viola 8) TM62, Quinn 9) TM40, Lily 10) TM122, Nujoud 11) TM39, Indie.

[@DisBlaine]

@@eliseelliot that order is top first right? 112 is your favorite TM? In some ways my ranking doesn’t make sense or doesn’t match the criteria I think of for what I love - that’s what made it tricky. Sometimes dolls charm me so hard they defy my convictions 🤣 Efrat’s story has been hard to squeeze in because it’s such a personal story that might make people feel uncomfortable even tho to me it’s very heartwarming. And it’s a long story too, so it’s hard to squeeze in time wise lol

[@eliseelliot]

@DisBlaine Yes, that was top first- 112 is my fav of my TMs. And yeah, it's absolutely wild how a doll can just charm you, even if the doll doesn't have any of your favourite features or anything. And apologies for spelling Efrat's name incorrectly!

[@DisBlaine]

@ exactly! When they’re outside your normal standard and manage to catch your eye, they become even more special 🥰

[@DollsAllGrown-Up]

Ohoho, that's quite an undertaking, to rank all your TMs :) Thank you for another great video :) The only doll I ever returned (and never bought again) is 79 :D Those eyes were so bad, it was impossible to look at her face without feeling the pain - one eye was squashed into an opening that was way too small, it was facing sideways, very noticeably. 79's need to be picked in store I think, you had a choice, which is great, so your eyes are really good, compared to what I had to witness 😢

[@DisBlaine]

@@DollsAllGrown-Up even tho it’s only 28, this is the most of all the rankings I’ll do (until I rank all my dolls)

[@melangellperry5984]

You’re so brave to try and rank your dolls. I’d have a terrible time of it. I could maybe put them in a top 10, middle 10 and lower 10. Every time I see a 121, I really like them. The Joss mold is a pretty good mold for having to order as I don’t think they come with a lot of issues (like Josefina molds do and Jess molds with the uneven eyes).

[@DisBlaine]

@@melangellperry5984 haha brave is right! On the one hand I feel like I’m a parent choosing favorites, and on the other I feel like I’m insulting other collectors by putting their faves low. The Joss mold is so sweet and now that you mention it, yeah I’ve never seen any with defects. Weird

[@margaretespinoza4492]

I got Truly Me 110 as my first truly me doll. I named her Abby in my collection. She looks good in blue and purple especially. I am hoping I get Truly Me 117. Soon, she is a cutie!

[@DisBlaine]

@@margaretespinoza4492 110 is honestly so unique and special. I’ve had her a long time, so she caught my attention early on. I can see why she was your first!

[@strawberrygirlie76]

Hahahaha - "I've learned to love that nightmare..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DisBlaine]

@@strawberrygirlie76 I swear I don’t intend to be so mean to Brianne. I forgot I said that ☠️

[@strawberrygirlie76]

Hee hee!! The older Mapleleas, after they fade, do tend to look a little bit homely 😄. It's great that you've warmed up to Brianne!! She's very sweet!!!

[@DanielleA1855]

My Joss doll’s wig (I got her second hand) is like your 123’s. I wanted a Joss so much but didn’t realize that about her wig. I think I’ll be selling her soon. I need to make room for Moana, but hopefully when I have more room I can find a Joss with a better wig… Orr I may send her to someone in the group to fix her wig because I really do love her face.

[@DisBlaine]

@@DanielleA1855 oh no! Do you think the seller hid her bad wig in the listing? That’s so disappointing!! Is a head replacement expensive in the doll hospital? I had to replace a wig once (a total bait and switch sale!) and it made such a difference. I was devastated at first and then she became my special rescue doll.

[@JoanneSag]

I have 123 and she is my least favorite AG doll. I am not sure why as I try to love her but...... Then my original first version cotton candy does have that hair thinning in the back and so does the first version of Kira and Blaire. They redid Blaire's wig and the newer version had a bit redder hair and it was slightly longer and thick. Oh well I still love them and kept them all, but I am not so sure about 123. There is something about her. Thank you for sharing. Oh I love my 121 that I purchased off of Amazon and she came perfect!

[@DisBlaine]

@@JoanneSag ag made a reel with 123 on their ig and she looks so cute I didn’t know who she was at first. Aside from a weird wig, mine also has too much white showing under her irises, so I’ll warm her head to lower them to see if that helps. Maybe yours has a simple defect like that too, something fixable. I didn’t know kira and blaire had bad wigs! I wonder how mine are lol.
