Where to Buy Real Stock Blythe Dolls 🦄😍

[@TammyPowley]

Have you ever bought a real or stock Blythe doll? If not, is it something you have thought about?

[@DollsRescued]

I would like to have a Kenner and an Ashton Drake. ;-)

[@TammyPowley]

@@DollsRescued Oh, yes, both of those would be awesome to own.

[@NickysDW]

I have been thinking about it lately

[@TammyPowley]

@@NickysDW CCToys sometimes will have dolls on sale, not hugely marked down, but every little bit helps.

[@NickysDW]

@@TammyPowley I am serieus considdering buying one there

[@burpieez6609]

This video is a great resource for new and current collectors! I just wanted to add that Junie Moon is actually the official and premier retailer of Blythe dolls, not just a store that sells them. Blythe was originally owned by Kenner/Hasbro and the Japanese CEO, Junko Wong, pays licensing fees to produce them as Neo Blythe. The manufacturer is Takara Tomy, who will now be Good Smile Toys. However, I believe Junko Wong owns Junie Moon, and that is her company that also sells other goods too. She also owns CWC, which is a network of artists and designers, and they are in charge of all the design aspects of every release. Takara and the manufacturers have nothing to do with that, which is why you cannot buy a Blythe doll directly from them. The reason why the selection is small is because they only sell current releases. Other retailers, however, sell older releases for marked up prices.

[@TammyPowley]

Thank you so much for adding this additional information. I get confused sometimes when CCToys will have releases before JM. I knew they were all inter-related somehow. You explained it so well.

[@burpieez6609]

@@TammyPowley I totally understand what you mean, it was confusing for me as well. I believe CCtoys is another company based in China that Junko Wong authorizes to sell stock Blythe, just like HLJ and Magma Heritage. Mandarake is not an official retailer, but a large reseller corporation, but their products are authentic. They're kind of like Ebay, but are reputable and well known to collectors of all dolls. I personally prefer CCToys because they allow sellers to bypass lotteries through limited preorders. However, ordering directly from Junie Moon has its amenities. If there are legitimate issues with the doll, such as a broken eye mechanism or significant makeup damage, they will replace the doll. I am not sure if the other retailers offer the same service. However the shipping is CRAZY because of the pandemic. I had to use DHL to get Spring Hope and it was $100. Definitely pros and cons to each retailer, but yes, CCtoys is my favorite. I actually got Lady Panacea from them and she is currently in stock as we speak. I totally recommend her, the makeup is amazing in person and very detailed.

I think I was kind of surprised by how few Blythe dolls they actually had on Junie Moon when I first looked on there, particular when compared to CC Toys. There is a company here in Europe which is based in Spain who I would recommend, particularly for EU countries, called Doll.Moe. They don't have a large Blythe range but they do have a layaway setup and as they are in the EU it means that anyone ordering from another EU country don't have to worry about being stung with import tax like we tend to be when ordering from non-EU countries.

[@TammyPowley]

Thanks for mentioning that site. Yes, having those extra charges is an issue to consider.

[@badetht198422]

Thanks for the video. I’ve bought from Mandarake and CCToys. I never figured out how to buy from Magma Heritage but I just sent them an email (after hearing your experience with them) and now I have a new doll on the way!

[@TammyPowley]

Oh, awesome!! What dolly did you order from them?

[@badetht198422]

@@TammyPowley thank you! I got Sporty Lover Finesse. She ended up being a little cheaper than CCToys! :) If all goes well I might continue to buy from them. They have a really big selection of dolls that I’m tempted to get.

[@TammyPowley]

@@badetht198422 I follow them on Facebook, and they are always showing lots of amazing dolls. So glad you found one you like and at a good price.

[@shawnj547]

thank you for the information I've been looking at some of those dolls on eBay and Amazon

[@TammyPowley]

Glad I could help!

[@KarynLewisBonfiglio]

Thanks so much for this vid! I have bought from CCToys and Junie Moon, but will check out the others you listed. :D

[@TammyPowley]

Those are definitely the top shops to buy from.

[@DollsRescued]

I always learn when I watch your Blythe Videos. ;-) Thanks for the Shout Out. ;-)

[@TammyPowley]

You bet! Glad you found some good info on my channel.

[@dolleca]

Great tips! I bought the one and only stock Blythe doll I ever owned from Mandarake on Ebay. They do have a nice selection on their website too.

[@TammyPowley]

Oh, right, they are also on Ebay. Yes, they probably have the largest selection I've ever seen.

[@badetht198422]

I just wanted to follow up in my previous comment and let you know that I had a fabulous experience with Magma Heritage. Like you, I’ve read mixed reviews (mostly older posts) but I thought they were awesome. My doll was not only well priced but she also arrived at my front door in less than a week. I am definitely going to buy more Blythes from them again.

[@TammyPowley]

Thanks for sharing! Like I said, I also had positive experiences with them. Good to hear you have too.

You are so welcome!

[@naturecrafts8618]

Thank you sharing all this info. I did not catch the name of the company taking over the production of new Blythe dolls. Anticipating what they will bring out doll wise and which designers they will be working with to create the releases too.

[@TammyPowley]

Good Smile Company is taking over production after July.

[@misatopt]

the design team will remain the same, CWC, only the manufacturer is changing to Good Smile.

Hi Tammy , great info I have both fake and real well I hope they are real 😂😂🌟 . Thankyou for sharing .

If you order a doll from cc-toys, do you get an orderconfirmation, other than your PayPal. And how long does it usually take before she ships and do you get a shipping notice?

[@TammyPowley]

You can email them and ask for tracking, but honestly, it doesn't tell you much other than when it leaves Hong Kong. Typically, it takes anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. In the "before times," it was more like 2 weeks, but some of the last few dolls I bought from them took longer. One of them was in US customs for weeks, and I only know that because I filed a claim with the post office.

[@NickysDW]

@@TammyPowley thank you. Do you usually get an orderconfirmation?

[@eatglue1207]

Hi! Do you have to use a proxy to have Mandarake ship items to the US? If so, which proxy do you recommend?

[@TammyPowley]

You don't need a proxy. I'm planning on making a video soon about how to buy from them, but basically, you can purchase on your own. The site translates to English. Once you put something in your cart and purchase, they'll send you a note telling you that they have to go check if it's in the shop. Then a few days later, you'll get confirmation that they have it and also an invoice to pay. You have a certain amount of time to pay the invoice. If you don't, they might ban you from purchasing in the future, so you have to be ready to buy it.

[@eatglue1207]

@@TammyPowley Oh okay! Thank you for all this info! I’m new to the blythe world and mandarake peaks my interest a lot when it comes to purchasing dolls as they have pretty decent prices. What does the shipping and fees prices typically look like in your experience when purchasing from this site? Im nervous it will be quite a pretty penny haha

[@TammyPowley]

@@eatglue1207 My experience with buying dolls from Japan has been shipping fees of around $50.

[@eatglue1207]

@@TammyPowley Oh okay! Do you suspect using a proxy would be cheaper or are you not sure? Its okay if you don’t know im sorry im full of questions haha

[@TammyPowley]

@@eatglue1207 I'm not sure why it would be cheaper. The prices are not negotiable from what I can tell. I am editing a video now that should publish next week. Hopefully, you'll find it helpful.

[@dianathorpe2280]

Do you know of a good website that sells nude Blythe dolls? I like to make my own doll clothes

[@TammyPowley]

If you are looked for real Blythe without clothes, there are Facebook groups that sell pre-owned real Blythes. If you don't mind fake Blythe dolls, there are Etsy shops and Aliexpress. I used to sell them in my Etsy shop and might be listing some soon as well.
