I always love seeing the same dolls next to each other. They hardly look the same. I really like seeing all your boy dolls, 75, 76 and the three 77’s and your Custom Kaya boy whose name I’ve forgotten already. It may be just because if the things you have in their hair, but I’ve noticed quite a difference in 77’s hair between batches. I think it was initially a bit longer and gradually got closer to the skull. My 77 was purchased last December at the doll sale when he sold out. His wig is really short and I like it. I had been planning to cut it shorter if it came a bit longer (like your 77 who was Claudie’s brother but is now in Maryellen’s world).
@@melangellperry5984 yeah when I bought my last 77, they all had different hair lengths (and over 10 in stock!), and the one I bought has the longest hair I’ve seen on him. Either that or it’s just pulled down lower on his forehead-imagine 🤣 Oops I forgot to introduce Pedro properly this time didn’t I? It was almost 4am by the time I got to that pair ☠️
I think you got a huge/great collection of AG dolls. Very envious. You really have gone above and beyond to collect each doll and each doll has its own stories. Congrats.
I absolutely love your collection! All of your Samantha’s look very different to me too! I’m also not a favorites person. I love and appreciate each of my dolls for who they are!
@@BrittnyShrub well at least you saw a variety of Addy dolls to choose from 😝 Also, I think sometimes I talk so much about dolls it’s like you did listen forever pahaaaaa
I agree. My family also doesn't understand why I have two of "the same doll"...because they look different enough to me and they are each unique! They all have stories and hearing Blaine speak about each of his has a calming effect, you know?
@@shirleyspanjer8742 especially Samantha! It sucks me into buying another one every time I see a different looking version. Or I convince myself she’s different to buy more 🤪
You are so fun to listen to. I agree that those Samantha dolls all have their own personality . I have multiples of a few dolls, and to me, they are each unique. I have a hard time changing them into different clothes when some of their outfits they just look so beautiful in. Keep making your videos, and I will keep watching them. The dolls make me happy in our uncertain times.
@@nancycunningham4245 aha! So you totally get where I’m coming from! Yes once I see a look come together, I need another one for the next outift. The only doll I change instead of buying more is Julie. Oh and a big yes to the last thing you said. With what happened a couple weeks ago, I almost took a break from making videos. Then I remembered these dolls are an escape for me, so they might be the same thing for others.
Really love this! It's fascinating how they all look so different, even when they're the same doll. It really goes to show how batch differences and factory differences can make ALL the difference. Obviously some of them are wildly different in part because of character redesign, too (Kaya, for example, having been lightened a bit over the years), but even dolls from the same three-year range can vary so much. I don't collect multiples (... yet...), so it's so cool to see someone do a deep dive into their multiples. (I've been toying around with getting a second Addy because I love mine so much; I'm trying to resist, though, because I'm really trying to maintain my collection within a specific range.) Also, I reply-commented on a thread on another of your videos yesterday, so sorry if you're seeing this twice, but - historical dolls are on sale right now, so if you wanted to get that second Nanea you've been noodling on... ;-)
@@eliseelliot I’ll always wonder how Samantha has so much variation. I haven’t seen the same thing happen for the other classic historical girls - but maybe there’s just an abundance of Samantha on the secondary market. Wait, did I say I want another Nanea?? I feel like she’s the last doll I’d want to multiply lol. I do plan to swap her eyes one day (with hazel ones that look forward instead of down)
@@DisBlaine Yeah, Samantha's variations are so wild, and I sometimes wonder if she's just somehow... more closely connected to the Gotz models the dolls were derived from?? Somehow?? And no, you didn't say you WOULD get another Nanea, just that maybe one with different eyes would be easier to connect with. And if you want to spare the thumb pain, you could just purchase one, lol.
@@rainataylor wanna know? Haha I have so many videos like that, especially from months ago when I started my channel. I might’ve shared a lot of them in my “all my AG dolls” video but that’s a super long one!
Hi Blaine. I’m sure this will not be my only comment but I wanted to say I totally agree that all of your Samantha’s look unique from each other. They are all adorable. Watching more now. Addy! So pretty❤
@@CherishedDollFriends hey Cheryl!! I don’t know why Samantha has so much variation, but it makes it hard to stop buying her-maybe that’s why they did it 🤣
@@catdogmom155 which versions of Addy? They look so cute in their outfits it’s hard to have only 1 sometimes. I love that Addy is your favorite and only double!
Samantha and Molly are my favorite from the whole collection, but I don't have duplicates, except for Molly. I have two of them Your tired collection is absolutely gorgeous.
I 1:15 have the Costco Molly with her Costco outfit. I just love her and then the other one right now.I have her on her school outfit I i also love the birthday off outfit for Addy. I tried to buy it and they sold out. I just want to cry now. Because the prices on eBay are outrageous.
This is amazing! I have a few "twins" in my collection but some of them are slowly getting made over just enough to make them a little unique from one another. And that Addy wig! I got a PC Addy with somewhat ratty hair so I could wig swap but they sold out and closed before I could get my hands on one...she looks adorable in it! You're going to make me start on a few wig and eye hunts again, haha! Anyway, awesome video, per usual. Thanks for showing!
@@EclecticAngel22 oh no, was that corn rolls wig on your list?? If I got lucky, you might too. That custom is so special to me, I love her so much. Definitely swap out you Addy’s wig! Not to be a bad influence, but I love personalizing my dolls.
the first video i watched of yours was the one where you showed your claudie collection and i laughed so hard everytime you brought out another claudie 😭😭 also your samantha’s all look totally different!! the pc dolls are each so unique!
@@dolltimewithkayla oh no, what a first impression that must’ve made 🤣 An honest one tbh, because look at me now! Yeah I wonder what PC did that the dolls all looked so different from each other
The Samantha collection is my favorite. I really like that you made the frilly frock and birthday outfit more historically accurate. They all look great!
Your Kirsten and Addy collections are great too! And you said you’re open to suggestions…. So if you happen to get Kirsten’s “on the trail” and “baking” outfit, or addys “stiltwalking” outfit, I will happily watch and be excited for you! I wish I could afford those!
Hey, I just noticed you have almost 2,000 followers!! Good for you! You're obviously doing things people like! Fun video! And they looked different to me too.
@@DisBlaine no i am very serious, i am not very knowledgeable about American girl dolls but i have seen enough dolls to be able to spot the differences. I'd love to show you my Götz triplets one day.
As a kid, I was enamored with Samantha's fancy collection. Your first Samantha is a cutie. She is my faves of your Samantha's. I love your re-released Addie. She is next on my list after Claudie.
@@ladero01 I wonder how I would’ve felt about Samantha as a kid. I had no idea these existed! Did you buy Claudie during the sale that’s on now? She and Addy (the historicals) are 20% off! Today and tomorrow
I love your collection of duplicates!! I tried to do that with my collection and quickly got overwhelmed and had to sell them 😅😂 Also it definitely looks like your second Josefina’s face is a little squished in, but filling it with warm/hot water and reshaping it should do the trick!
@@americangirlcollector221 you were right to be overwhelmed-recording this was a nightmare in the end 🤣 Yeah I might try to reshape her face after I decide if it’s cute or not lol. Side note: I just realized I was only subscribed to you on my tv / viewer account, not this one (fixed that)

But I do love the stories these little figures seem to come with lol.
@@DisBlainehi there how do I contact you? I am a doll seamstress and I would love to send you some doll clothes I am in California though.

@@EStern-18 I don’t know why Samantha has so much variation-but it FORCES me to keep buying more. It’s not my fault at all 🤪

Its crazy how they really do all have their own look. Claudie is on sale today and I really really thinking about getting her because of you.
@@kydrasims9734 you see the differences too? It’s unfortunate because I keep buying more 🤣
