Power move: buy a Bild Lily doll and put her in some repro OG Barbie clothes. (Jk, I imagine Bild Lily is as expensive if not more, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she can be bought for cheap in Germany in random places)
"anyone would love to own a №1 Barbie" I WOULD NOT, my apartment doesn't have museum level conditions, I'd feel like I'm destroying her just by breathing next to her, I cannot handle that level of responsibility, I have an anxiety disorder...
my grandma had the original barbie and while they moved out of florida my grandpa left it behind because he was selfish and didnt care about other peoples belongings if they werent a necessity. I think about it all the time and everytime i do i get more upset bc literally wtf.
My father is exactly like that . If it's not his, and he doesn't personally care about something.... He is SO fucking awful and just literally will fuck over anyone no matter how important something is to you, because he is SO self absorbed, i can't comprehend being like that.
I had a step-grandma like this. My pawpaw was dying of brain cancer and she took advantage of his being out of it and tossed ALL the photos my paw paw and grandma had of the family, including my dad's few baby photos from the 50s. They weren't her family so out they went! My aunt managed to save a few because she lived next door and happen to see what was happening, but she literally had to shove an old lady to get them lol. Sorry not sorry, Edith!
Yeah, All I want from that evil bunch is a few family photos, but I'll never see them. I have some that were hanging in the hallway that I took pictures of with my phone camera on my last visit. Toxic families suck.
"I haven't hit a single person with my car." LOL! I immediately thought of that scene in Spongebob where he runs over all the town's fish, unapologetically. 😭
Not a doll collector but as a diehard lifelong Tomb Raider fan that Legend doll looks so gorgeous. I'm surprised it never occurred to me before that Lara probably would translate extremely well to doll form and they really brought out her beauty and steely strength in that one. Sidenote: Legend Lara is the definitive version for me, especially with her voice by Keeley Hawes who just- is Lara Croft to me, even though games-wise I'm a "Gen 1" fan all the way.
My most unrealistic grail doll? SDCC Ever After High Cerise Wolf. I would LOVE to own one of her in box (or out of box, if the box comes with and is intact). She is such a gorgeous doll.
The mana sama dollfie is a holy grail for like half the older bjd community. Its not for me and for that im grateful every day. My original biggest grail was a soom supergem amber on a beryle body and i was lucky enough to get her legit for $400 years back when soom lost popularity. My other grails are all old bjd by companies that went under years ago. One is a head that i dont think the company that made her sold a single one of and so shes lost forever in time. The other is a IOS Taurus head in jet black resin, a color they retired and would not do for me even by special request 😢
I collect 1/3 dolls (not dollfie though, I like the more "realistic" ones), and man. I have so many grail dolls I will never get because they were limited time releases or from companies that don't exist anymore. It's actually so evil how common limited edition dolls are when they cost $500+
THIS ONE. Honestly, I'm an aspiring 1/3 bjd collector and my grail is to just...have one. I love my smaller 1/12 girlies but I've pined after the larger dolls for years.
REAL on the gatekeeping dolls part , i gatekeep certain 2000s kpop artists so ill have enough time/money to get their albums 😭. i dont think its a terrible thing since some things are meant to be hidden LOL.
the first doll to come to mind when you asked that question was sweet screams draculaura... pretty basic and definitely not as rare as some of these in the video but come on this is sweet screams draculaura, how can i not want her 😭 next that comes to mind is the kieran valentine doll..... it's not even that the doll is stunning incredible jawdropping but they just had to make it a collectors dolls so i have to accept i will never have him. he's my favorite mh character!!!!!!! i wish they would just add him to g3 already so i can have him in SOME doll form. this video reminds me of how much i love dollfies, honestly i would just take any of them. i particularly like that hatsune miku vampire dress outfit though
the entire video i was waiting for the mana sama dollfie mention and then it happened and i was so stoked when it happened... and then i remembered that means more competition for the doll . at least i got the pullip on release but it's just not the same
oh that Miku doll in the fan suggestions is beautiful. That's the only one that really stood out to me as someone who isn't a doll collector. This was definitely an interesting video though, it's nice to see the higher end, unrealistic to obtain prices and see how widely prices can vary. also a lot of those prices are nuts, reminds me of G1 transformers, those go insanely priced. I don't collect those either, but some of the G1 stuff is in the several thousand dollars, especially MIB.
loved hearing about your grails! hope santa’s paying attention this year 😆 my two biggest grails are a 1983 crystal barbie (either version), which has been a wishlist doll since childhood, and monster high dawn of the dance lagoona. neither seems super hard to find secondhand or too outrageously expensive, the pricetag is just more than i’ve been able to justify for a single doll . but maybe if i get a bonus at work this year and don’t need it to pay bills i’ll treat myself 👀 OR maybe mattel will give us reproductions someday!
Honestly, doll-wise, I wish I still had my olc Samantha and Molly American Girl dolls from around the 90's/2000s, back before they got retired. I also wish I still had my Sailor Moon dolls (pretty ones, not ugly ones), also the Cardcaptors/Cardcaptor Sakura dolls from when the show first came to the states (though the bendy skeleton deal with them and the fact my old ones got moldy not so much). The Dollfies and Giselle are my only big ones beyond that.
I would LOVE a repro of the Princess line from Bratz. They've been on my wishlist ever since MGA started doing the repros, so here's to hoping they continue because I am not paying hundreds of doll-hairs for a little plastic woman 🤞
This was super fun to listen to! If we're talking UNREALISTIC grails, I'd probably want the Utena and Anthy dollfies or the Haunted Beauty Zombie Bride Barbie. I also agree on Princess Jade. There's also some integrity toys I'd love to own, but I don't wanna go down the whole IT rabbit hole as a collector. Haunt Couture Drac is ony my list too and probably the most obtainable one, if it werent for crazy shipping/customs cuz I live in Europe and most of them are sold in the USA. Same with bratz x meangirls but I think thats the collective unobtainable grail of the whole community … which is sad, lol
As someone that mostly collects BJD's with a smattering of Barbies, Tonners, and porcelain dolls I feel blessed enough to say that I pretty much own every doll I've wanted. A lot of saving, searching and a little luck! I say pretty much because the only dolls I do want that I don't actually have just aren't available to buy secondhand. I'd love to get my hands on some of the big bunnies from Cocotribe but they rarely even appear on the bjd market much less places like ebay or mercari. And, one doll I'd love to have just doesn't exist yet. A John Ratcliffe doll, I'm actually sort of surprised that Disney hasn't made him at all yet.
My grail doll was the TBLeague Anubis doll. I wanted to have a full fledged soft body but anatomically correct figure of Anubis as my safety toy. I love the idea of having the guardian of the under world with you at all times, it's comforting. TBLeague has changed hands over the years but the dolls are still out there. They make AMAZING figures as well as different body/head sculps for everything to movies, games, and characters. I think i spent some where around $250 to $300 for him when all was said and done. I was so proud that I managed to hunt him down second hand but with all of his parts and packing.
There’s this super expensive doll of Alphinaud from Final Fantasy 14 that I saw online for like $800+, that would be my son if I were a Baron or something. Ahh it was a Dollfie Alphinaud!
I'm an AG collector, and my holy grails are Addy's Cape Island dress (runs about $300+), Caroline's parlour (I've never seen it lower than $600, and that's not necessarily with all the little accessories), and Addy's trunk (usually about $200+).
I love these videos that showcase and give appreciation to some of the lesser known and shutdown brands! Not an active doll collector myself but I've been collecting figures and plushies for basically my whole life and the pricing on resales for those are also outrageous. Current grails are the Horror Bishoujo Tiffany, Chucky, and Edward Scissorhands and the PopMart Molly SpongeBob BJD. Also been collecting merchandise of a specific character from this defunct Mars themed restaurant that existed in NYC in the late 90s-2012 and I got possibly the best piece of collectors merch for FREE. Someone posted a few weeks ago about needing to get rid of the head to the alien mascot suit and I managed to snag it before any of the three other people that are active in that forum could. My dream is to one day own the whole suit, but this is honestly the most unrealistic thing I could ever want since the person who gave me the head was there for the restaurant closing and was told the suits were being trashed.
I would die for that KAITO Dollfie doll fr fr, he honestly gets a relatively small amount of merch to begin with. And then merch of that quality??? Uuuuuugh. Maybe I'll get a second job.
Kaito was my gateway into Dollfies. I knew about DDs for years (vocaloid fan) but what I gathered is that the boy Dollfies are even harder to stomach secondhand (because of the bodies.)
Not standard fashion dolls but I'd kill for some of the Kotobukiya Bishoujo statues. I want the Pinkie Pie, Micheal Myers, Leatherface, and Tiffany, and Megatron ones really badly. They retailed at about $150 USD i believe which is far to expensive for me but i love staring at them online.
My personal holly grail is a mix of price and 'do I realistically have the space to devote to this doll' (the later point is a big factor in why I tend to admire dolls from a distance rather then actually buy them....): A white-body Samantha American Girl Doll. The early AG dolls used to have white bodies and longer, softer looking eye lashes, and the Samantha doll had more brown-ish looking hair instead of the more stark black of later dolls. I saw some gorgeous fan photos of her back in high school, and I still dream about how different that particular Samantha doll feels in comparison to her later versions
i want a fr nippon misaki doll SO BAD ive been to japan TWICE and they have a gorgeous display of them at the azone store but they dont have them for sale..... omg YES i want totally spies dolls SO badly, one of my fave shows of all timeeeeeeeee
Although the Tonner company is no longer with us, Robert Tonner is still designing dolls. Virtual Doll Convention sells some of his new dolls. He also occasionally collaborates with differnet companies on dolls.
Princess Bratz..idk, may get reproduced. The Mini Bratz that have came out, seem to have full size come out too. We had the sleepover Mini figures , then we got the full size. The most recent Mini Bratz figures were Treasures & Princess. I know nothing, but it's interesting. 🤷♀️
The modern day 'Santa Baby' wishlist. You could add some things to a Throne Wishlist, if your community is interested in that sort of thing. I am not a doll collector, but those Sailor Moon and that Chii doll are so beautiful, even I would be interested. I do collect the Pokemon Cards, but I'm pretty casual about it. My world is not going to end if I don't have a master set of anything, and I am not going to drop a stupid amount of money. My big ticket unrealistic goal though? I work in the tech section of a department store and Sony has a lot to answer for. They keep releasing very pretty coloured PS5 controllers, and I low key want to collect them like Pokemon Cards. The current Chroma series has particularly nice ones.
I love love nikki (and just all the nikki games in general), so one of my grails is the nikki star sea bjd from aedoll that was announced/released in 2023, so pretty recent. The original price for the entire doll was 4599 yuan, which is about $900 canadian (money i definitely don't have to spend). Counting taxes and any duties i'd have to pay, I'd be spending well over $1000 cad to get her. I also don't think i've seen her on secondhand sites just yet.
For me my grail dolls are the Anthy and Utena Dollfies (I am a member of the dollfie envy club) I’m actually lucky enough to have my other big one though! She’s not terribly expensive and she was my first big purchase with my first paycheck from my current job lol, I have the Azone Princess Syalis doll. I have loved Maoujou de oyasumi/sleepy princess in the demons castle since I read a scanlation of the manga lol but there isn’t a ton of merch for it. I managed to find an official retailer that had one still in stock for less than the second hand market price and snagged her. One of her hands doesn’t like to stay on if I move her but she is my favorite doll that I own lol.
I want the Ava Gardner and Bette Davis Tonner dolls, and for Barbie, I want the Jean Michele Basquiat doll, and for nostalgia, I want an original Blythe doll with the pull-string (eye color change) ....that's my holy grail/unicorn list! Merry Christmas, dear! ✨️🎄✨️
My holy grails are: 1. Faraway Forest Elf Barbie 2. Elina Golden Label Barbie 3. Pearl Abyss x Blitzway Black Desert Dark Knight Figure (my main class since 2017) 😭
One unrealistic set of dolls ( or even one ) that I would love, but no way would ever pay what they go for, is the Barbie...( I forgot their official label ), the Haunted Forest, Vampire, etc. They're like over $800 I believe. But fricken amazing.
Yesss....! The Violette Barbie is probably one of the best Barbies... No, best DOLLS ever made. Everything about her is so gorgeous-- Would be a dream to own one. I don't collect too much anymore, but I primarily collected Japanese dolls. My grail dolls would be Sun Sun Eli, a scarce "Malibu Version" of an already rare Japanese exclusive friend of Barbie, the original "Nice to Meet You" release of the "Be My Baby Cherry" Doll by Odani Miyuki, the "Maxi" hair color Lady Licca doll, and the very elusive Kurombo Licca.
My holy grail has to be Silkstone Barbie 10 years tribute gold label from 2010. To me, she is absolutely gorgeous in her embroidered blue dress with the side ruffles. Her makeup is everything. Love her! 🥰
My grail doll definitely has to be the life-size version of M3GAN. She is my favorite horror character, and I would love to have a full scale movie sized version of her. However, she is really expensive and every time I try to tell my family about it, they always say she is too expensive for a doll. For now, I will just wait for the Monster High Skullector version of her.
One of my grails is tonner x the golden compass Lyra Silvertongue, with all her outfits (but most specifically, the winter coat outfit). She’s so detailed and gorgeous, and based on one of my very favourite characters ever. I never see her for sale, she was a limited edition of 1000 in 2008 and the movie flopped.
Fun topic...I just got one of my grails. She popped up & I didn't hesitate. 😂....I was so happy. I love walking by her & admiring her beauty. I only have a couple other grails, but it's ok if I never get them. I'm sure more will come.
unrealistic bratz dolls i'll probably never get: - play sportz teams tennis cloe and jade (THEY are SOOOO gorgeous and way too expensive and elusive) - costume party lela version 1! dark lip version!!! (so sad they changed it later on bc wtf? thats perfect!) - costume party cloe pouty princess - nighty nite cloe 2nd edition - flashback fever sasha - any of the back to school dolls... those are priced so crazy omg - head gamez rina blonde hair version (i use to pretend it was hannah montana as a kid sooo good) - magic hair sasha - midnight dance fianna and meygan
I grew up owning a full set of the learning curve totally spies dolls and maaan do i wish i still had them 😭😭😭😭😭 I remember finding them with my mom in 2006 at a kmart or like a dollar store or ollies or something of that nature, a store that had a lot of toys that were not brand name. We were both like "Wow i never knew they made dolls of totally spies!" I remember the dvds the dolls came with very well, i replayed them to death because i didnt have cable a lot of the time lol
There’s some rare/expensive Bratz, Novi Stars and Monster High dolls I’d like but if I could have ANY doll(s), it would be complete prototypes (I’ve seen some exist) of the cancelled LOL OMG Fierce Kitty K and Candylicious dolls. 💔
Newest grail for me that's probably unattainable: a be my baby Cherry doll, honestly I'd be happy with almost any of them. But secondhand they're like 1K, and although they're around $400 new my personal max for a doll is around $200, plus I'd have to navigate getting it from Japan which isn't easy because dolls sold on the official website go quick, and is also expensive with proxies and shipping. She's so cute though...
I’m not a doll collector but I do collect k-pop photocards, and there’s a particular photocard of Hongjoong from the group Ateez that has been one of my holy grail photocards for a long time (specifically the Movement Makestar Winner photocard). However, this photocard very rarely goes up for sale and whenever it does it’s for very large amounts that far exceed my budget, so I’ve just accepted that this photocard will never find it’s way to my collection 😅
As a long time fan of My Little Pony I think my ultimate grail would have to be one of the 1984 Takara ponies that had little nubby bodies and stood on 2 legs with full outfits and everything, I just find them so charming. There are hardly even a lot of pictures of them let alone listings but a girl can dream ;u;
I recently got my grail for an absolute steal. I got the Batman The Animated Series behind the scenes art book. They only made 500 and they go for hundreds of dollars but I fount one at a thrift store for $80. Mine is #493 out of 500 and I love having it 😊❤
my grails are sakura miku dollfie and haunt couture draculaura. i also would like sailor moon dolfie but in her super sailor moon outfit.. if they ever do a non-lottery re-release i might go for her. I know sakura miku is also getting a re-release very soon, but i already have one dollfie on a payment plan (alisae from ffxiv luckily she was also for sale on the square website which allowed for a year long payment plan... which wokrs out because she doesnt even ship until november of next year) thats the annoying thing about volks is the lottery type releases. i will say, i love Iori too but shes made using the Dollfie Pretty body type and let me tell you, finding clothes that actually fit that body type is so difficult. It seems volks has abandoned it (i think iori is still the only one who uses that body) I bought a blank one in that size because i wanted to make a custom doll, not realizing that shes not actually 1/3rd scale shes some bizarre inbetween 1/4th and 1/3rd so if you ever get iori and want to dress her up with clothes that are not her default, i wish you good luck! now im curious about what other dolls are you hiding from us :P
Kaito has been my favorite vocaloid since the beginning And ny godh if I had a figure or doll of him Id be so happy . Luka is kind of my second favorite vocaloid but kaito has always been #1
Very enjoyable video! Love your eclectic tastes and collection! I tend to collect only one type of doll at a time, but I love seeing other people's collections, especially when they have dolls that I don't collect. I can enjoy them vicariously! In terms of grails, I have a Supergirl doll collection, and there's one Tonner Supergirl, wearing the two-piece blue costume, that I don't have. She's pricey, at least around $500, but maybe one day I'll have them. I also have a small Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm collection, and I'd love to have MIB large Ideal dolls. That's not too unrealistic because they can be found on eBay, but I can't swing it right now. I'd also like Funko Supergirls and Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. Again, not too unrealistic, but I need to quit buying Barbies so I can get them. One caveat about getting your grails: I collected Ellowyne Wilde (Tonner) for a good ten years. I have a large, extensive collection, and have managed to get all of my grails. Don't get me wrong. I love having my grails. But there isn't much in the Ellowyne world for me anymore. I have the dolls that I want and the new Ellowyne dolls that are being marketed aren't really my thing. So I've gone back to Barbie. No real grails because, for me, the fun is in customizing them and I can do that with inexpensive dolls, not incredibly expensive collectibles. Merry Christmas and I hope Santa overlooks that little pyromaniac thingie.
My unrealistic grail doll is D23 Giselle for sure. I shouldve fought to find a scalper/buyer when she came out. But I was a dumb dumb with my money and I regret it so much. It would be cheaper to cosplay a film accurate Giselle in her wedding dress in the grand scheme of things. Maybe her 20th anniversary I'll get whatever doll they release while wearing my hypothetical cosplay. Other grails would be Wedding Cinderella from the live action film and the Platinum Beauty and the Beast where they're in their ballroom attire. I have the 30th anniversary set so I'll probably just get outfits custom made for them at some point.
I think my most unrealistic grail dolls would be the Novi Stars that were exclusive to Europe and Dream of Doll Petsha-- this one is EXTREMELY unrealistic because BJDs are expensive already, but especially so a doll from a defunct company that was released in 2006 😔
I got into Volks Dollfie Dream dolls back in 2018 when I got my first Doll with is Miku Hatsune. And now I have the entire Vocaloid series + one custom and a IdolMaster Kaede doll. I worked very hard and sold so much stuff and I couldn´t be happier. My next goal would be Sailor Moon as well
Oh boy, I have a single Dollfie one my wishlist and it’s the Rapunzel. Though that d23 Rapunzel Dollfie lives rent free in my head, alas there is only one in existence. As an AG collector I’m trying to 100% Kirsten’s collection, there’s only four items left and they are all stupid pricey😭 Lastly, the Takara Laputa Sheeta doll. Castle in the Sky is my favorite Ghibli film and I love that doll SO much. She’s pretty expensive second hand. I’d want the Kiki too but she is also really expensive.
Mine isn't inherently unobtainable because of the base price (The most expensive one I've ever seen was a full unopened glitter dragon set for like $200), but because they rarely are available to be sold internationally and so the shipping tends to be INSANE. For YEARS I've wanted to collect the Regal Academy dolls (especially my favorite character Joy (the frog girl!)) but anytime they pop up somewhere for sale they are usually not able to ship to my country or have $60-$100 shipping prices. I am a mere college student, so I cannot afford to buy a doll already going for $30-$50, with $60 slapped onto it (not even including taxes and handling costs..), and so I have began to lose hope of ever owning one as the small amount that does get sold in ebay is slowly dwindling each year 💔... If I could ever at the least get my hands on a Joy doll, I would feel satisfied
I would love to have the cinderella doll from the enchanted doll, or any enchanted doll... But that's just a dream. Those dolls are more pieces of art than actual dolls. The popovy sisters dolls also... Just daydreaming...
my holy grial will forever be, midnight dance meygan (or fianna), I’ve already accepted that i will never have this doll, because: 1 - I live in Brazil, and this doll was never released here which make things 10x harder 2 - I don’t know if it’s reasonable spending thousands just to import a doll lol
I've been low key hoping for a grails video from you. I primarily collect plush toys, my current grail is the 2007 japan exclusive year of the boar build a bear. Very limited numbers especially in the US and I have been unsuccessful in finding any on japanese auction websites. I've only seen 1 sold listing on ebay that was for about $800! would love to have one so bad. Another big white whale for me: there are these beetle shaped tamagotchi things called mushi pets. I do have one that I am very proud of, but its not in the best condition and I'd love to have a functioning one. There are a few versions of them that are more realistically beetle shaped and I would looooove those as well. And the worst part is, the only image I've ever seen of them is from a listing for two of them that sold for like $30. Insanely jealous!!!!
My Holy grails - Barbie Dolls of the World: Princess collection (what can I say, i'm a Barbie fan and a huge sucker for Princesses) - Any Winx doll based on seasons 1-3 - Barbie Faraway Forest - Bratz Mean Girls dolls Now for my non-doll holy grails - Any Ben 10 figures based on the og continuty (I know Hot Topic did release some some figures based on Ultimate Alien) - Batfam figures (The closest thing I have right now is a Talia Al Ghul funko pop)
I own a number 2 Barbie. People might wonder why not a #1 instead. They have the same value, but #2 are more rare because they were made in lowest amount. Same for an original #2 stand, way rarer than a #1 stand. I bought mine throught ebay, theres tricks to differentiate a fake #1 or 2. Overall they are worth I feel around 5000. If the doll is a early handpainted #1 or if the doll comes with a vintage link silhouette box, the price will go up. Personnaly I would never buy from "known reputable" sellers. Because the only time I bought from one of them (a very well known one), there was a Barbie TM hatbox with the lot I bought. It was the item I was the more excited to get, and when I got it, the front of the hatbox, with the Barbie TM logo, was a paper photocopy glued on the hatbox. And When I brought it to them, they were like "if you dont want the lot send it back" even tho I wanted to keep the clothes, I just wanted a discount for the hatbox, because it wasnt OK to sell it as real. Since I saw and heard many shady things about them, and overall make me realised that "official" known sellers, are money hungry, and its something to be cautious about when its comes to pricey dolls. Reputation doesnt mean the items will be good or well priced.
my main grail dolls are Monster High Kieran Valentine ($500-$1000), Monster High Adult Collector Draculaura ($1000+), and Barbie Empress Bride ($600-$900), Barbie Haunted Beauty Vampire ($900-$1400)
Honestly, it’d probably be cheaper to build a time machine and buy a number 1 Barbie, rather than buying a number 1 Barbie in 2024/25.
Power move: buy a Bild Lily doll and put her in some repro OG Barbie clothes.
(Jk, I imagine Bild Lily is as expensive if not more, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she can be bought for cheap in Germany in random places)
Its probably cheaper to remake the Number 1 Barbie and Bild Lily by hand 💀💀
Why didn't I think of that!?!
"anyone would love to own a №1 Barbie" I WOULD NOT, my apartment doesn't have museum level conditions, I'd feel like I'm destroying her just by breathing next to her, I cannot handle that level of responsibility, I have an anxiety disorder...
my grandma had the original barbie and while they moved out of florida my grandpa left it behind because he was selfish and didnt care about other peoples belongings if they werent a necessity. I think about it all the time and everytime i do i get more upset bc literally wtf.
My father is exactly like that . If it's not his, and he doesn't personally care about something.... He is SO fucking awful and just literally will fuck over anyone no matter how important something is to you, because he is SO self absorbed, i can't comprehend being like that.
OMFG your grandpa is crazy AF
I had a step-grandma like this. My pawpaw was dying of brain cancer and she took advantage of his being out of it and tossed ALL the photos my paw paw and grandma had of the family, including my dad's few baby photos from the 50s. They weren't her family so out they went!
My aunt managed to save a few because she lived next door and happen to see what was happening, but she literally had to shove an old lady to get them lol. Sorry not sorry, Edith!
Yeah, All I want from that evil bunch is a few family photos, but I'll never see them. I have some that were hanging in the hallway that I took pictures of with my phone camera on my last visit. Toxic families suck.
@@savannah115 that's insane ??? I'm glad your aunt was able to save some!
If something you do is illegal and the legal case is next year- it officially doesn't count for Santa's naughty list
Trust me- I'm a lawyer
"I haven't hit a single person with my car." LOL! I immediately thought of that scene in Spongebob where he runs over all the town's fish, unapologetically. 😭
Wait no way I also haven’t hit anyone with my car!
Not a doll collector but as a diehard lifelong Tomb Raider fan that Legend doll looks so gorgeous. I'm surprised it never occurred to me before that Lara probably would translate extremely well to doll form and they really brought out her beauty and steely strength in that one.
Sidenote: Legend Lara is the definitive version for me, especially with her voice by Keeley Hawes who just- is Lara Croft to me, even though games-wise I'm a "Gen 1" fan all the way.
My most unrealistic grail doll? SDCC Ever After High Cerise Wolf. I would LOVE to own one of her in box (or out of box, if the box comes with and is intact). She is such a gorgeous doll.
True, even when eah was around she was grail
She's on my list too!
The mana sama dollfie is a holy grail for like half the older bjd community. Its not for me and for that im grateful every day.
My original biggest grail was a soom supergem amber on a beryle body and i was lucky enough to get her legit for $400 years back when soom lost popularity.
My other grails are all old bjd by companies that went under years ago. One is a head that i dont think the company that made her sold a single one of and so shes lost forever in time. The other is a IOS Taurus head in jet black resin, a color they retired and would not do for me even by special request 😢
I collect 1/3 dolls (not dollfie though, I like the more "realistic" ones), and man. I have so many grail dolls I will never get because they were limited time releases or from companies that don't exist anymore. It's actually so evil how common limited edition dolls are when they cost $500+
THIS ONE. Honestly, I'm an aspiring 1/3 bjd collector and my grail is to just...have one. I love my smaller 1/12 girlies but I've pined after the larger dolls for years.
@@Rowan.Evanderhonestly smartdoll is a great starting place, you can get a doll for just around $400 which is cheap for how big and detailed they are.
Aspiring 1/3 doll collector... I will die before I afford my grails
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO CONCEPT EVER you are a geniusss
REAL on the gatekeeping dolls part , i gatekeep certain 2000s kpop artists so ill have enough time/money to get their albums 😭. i dont think its a terrible thing since some things are meant to be hidden LOL.
Wake up cammy just uploaded
the first doll to come to mind when you asked that question was sweet screams draculaura... pretty basic and definitely not as rare as some of these in the video but come on this is sweet screams draculaura, how can i not want her 😭
next that comes to mind is the kieran valentine doll..... it's not even that the doll is stunning incredible jawdropping but they just had to make it a collectors dolls so i have to accept i will never have him. he's my favorite mh character!!!!!!! i wish they would just add him to g3 already so i can have him in SOME doll form.
this video reminds me of how much i love dollfies, honestly i would just take any of them. i particularly like that hatsune miku vampire dress outfit though
a comment here just reminded me that love live dolls exist... i'll try not to think about how badly i would wnat those 🥹
the entire video i was waiting for the mana sama dollfie mention and then it happened and i was so stoked when it happened... and then i remembered that means more competition for the doll . at least i got the pullip on release but it's just not the same
i love the intro lmao
oh that Miku doll in the fan suggestions is beautiful. That's the only one that really stood out to me as someone who isn't a doll collector. This was definitely an interesting video though, it's nice to see the higher end, unrealistic to obtain prices and see how widely prices can vary.
also a lot of those prices are nuts, reminds me of G1 transformers, those go insanely priced. I don't collect those either, but some of the G1 stuff is in the several thousand dollars, especially MIB.
I'm praying to Ruth handler herself that I own some of these
🎄🎅Your letter is a lot nicer than mine❣
50 seconds into the video and im like this is PEAK content, funniest intro of all time. i love it.
Stop! you're a mermaid melody fan also?! rarely ever hear anyone talk about that anime ❤🔥need those dolls 😭
I watched that show and had no clue they made dolls of them, till now 😮
loved hearing about your grails! hope santa’s paying attention this year 😆
my two biggest grails are a 1983 crystal barbie (either version), which has been a wishlist doll since childhood, and monster high dawn of the dance lagoona. neither seems super hard to find secondhand or too outrageously expensive, the pricetag is just more than i’ve been able to justify for a single doll . but maybe if i get a bonus at work this year and don’t need it to pay bills i’ll treat myself 👀 OR maybe mattel will give us reproductions someday!
Honestly, doll-wise, I wish I still had my olc Samantha and Molly American Girl dolls from around the 90's/2000s, back before they got retired. I also wish I still had my Sailor Moon dolls (pretty ones, not ugly ones), also the Cardcaptors/Cardcaptor Sakura dolls from when the show first came to the states (though the bendy skeleton deal with them and the fact my old ones got moldy not so much). The Dollfies and Giselle are my only big ones beyond that.
I love the Sailor Moon Dollfies so much! I hope they make the Outer Guardians eventually!
The intro IS EVERYTHINGGGGG
the intro i CAAANNTTT😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 what a way to open the video lmfaooo
Marina Bychkova I want one of her porcelain dolls so badly, the ‘plus size’ one, full costume , with lily eyes…. Ahhhh insane amount of money
Merry christmas!
I would LOVE a repro of the Princess line from Bratz. They've been on my wishlist ever since MGA started doing the repros, so here's to hoping they continue because I am not paying hundreds of doll-hairs for a little plastic woman 🤞
This was super fun to listen to!
If we're talking UNREALISTIC grails, I'd probably want the Utena and Anthy dollfies or the Haunted Beauty Zombie Bride Barbie. I also agree on Princess Jade. There's also some integrity toys I'd love to own, but I don't wanna go down the whole IT rabbit hole as a collector.
Haunt Couture Drac is ony my list too and probably the most obtainable one, if it werent for crazy shipping/customs cuz I live in Europe and most of them are sold in the USA.
Same with bratz x meangirls but I think thats the collective unobtainable grail of the whole community … which is sad, lol
The Bratz mean girls' dolls are actually priced the same as the Bratz website on eBay and Mercari. Only Cady is expensive
As someone that mostly collects BJD's with a smattering of Barbies, Tonners, and porcelain dolls I feel blessed enough to say that I pretty much own every doll I've wanted. A lot of saving, searching and a little luck! I say pretty much because the only dolls I do want that I don't actually have just aren't available to buy secondhand. I'd love to get my hands on some of the big bunnies from Cocotribe but they rarely even appear on the bjd market much less places like ebay or mercari. And, one doll I'd love to have just doesn't exist yet. A John Ratcliffe doll, I'm actually sort of surprised that Disney hasn't made him at all yet.
Lmao I also have my own extremely unrealistic doll wishlist in my notes app lol
I own a vocaloid Kaito, pre-ordered him last yr. My first full set dd
My grail doll was the TBLeague Anubis doll. I wanted to have a full fledged soft body but anatomically correct figure of Anubis as my safety toy. I love the idea of having the guardian of the under world with you at all times, it's comforting. TBLeague has changed hands over the years but the dolls are still out there. They make AMAZING figures as well as different body/head sculps for everything to movies, games, and characters. I think i spent some where around $250 to $300 for him when all was said and done. I was so proud that I managed to hunt him down second hand but with all of his parts and packing.
There’s this super expensive doll of Alphinaud from Final Fantasy 14 that I saw online for like $800+, that would be my son if I were a Baron or something. Ahh it was a Dollfie Alphinaud!
I'm an AG collector, and my holy grails are Addy's Cape Island dress (runs about $300+), Caroline's parlour (I've never seen it lower than $600, and that's not necessarily with all the little accessories), and Addy's trunk (usually about $200+).
thank you for uploading this video today. For some reason your vids always help when im really hung over and i desperately needed this rn
I love these videos that showcase and give appreciation to some of the lesser known and shutdown brands!
Not an active doll collector myself but I've been collecting figures and plushies for basically my whole life and the pricing on resales for those are also outrageous. Current grails are the Horror Bishoujo Tiffany, Chucky, and Edward Scissorhands and the PopMart Molly SpongeBob BJD.
Also been collecting merchandise of a specific character from this defunct Mars themed restaurant that existed in NYC in the late 90s-2012 and I got possibly the best piece of collectors merch for FREE. Someone posted a few weeks ago about needing to get rid of the head to the alien mascot suit and I managed to snag it before any of the three other people that are active in that forum could. My dream is to one day own the whole suit, but this is honestly the most unrealistic thing I could ever want since the person who gave me the head was there for the restaurant closing and was told the suits were being trashed.
This video had me immediately cackling - I love your video style and enjoyed hearing about your grails :)
I would die for that KAITO Dollfie doll fr fr, he honestly gets a relatively small amount of merch to begin with. And then merch of that quality??? Uuuuuugh. Maybe I'll get a second job.
Kaito was my gateway into Dollfies.
I knew about DDs for years (vocaloid fan) but what I gathered is that the boy Dollfies are even harder to stomach secondhand (because of the bodies.)
Not standard fashion dolls but I'd kill for some of the Kotobukiya Bishoujo statues. I want the Pinkie Pie, Micheal Myers, Leatherface, and Tiffany, and Megatron ones really badly. They retailed at about $150 USD i believe which is far to expensive for me but i love staring at them online.
You make me lol every time. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
My personal holly grail is a mix of price and 'do I realistically have the space to devote to this doll' (the later point is a big factor in why I tend to admire dolls from a distance rather then actually buy them....): A white-body Samantha American Girl Doll. The early AG dolls used to have white bodies and longer, softer looking eye lashes, and the Samantha doll had more brown-ish looking hair instead of the more stark black of later dolls. I saw some gorgeous fan photos of her back in high school, and I still dream about how different that particular Samantha doll feels in comparison to her later versions
every time you do randomly bring up Imas my brains just like !!!!! Imas mention!!!! i always immediately forget that you're one of us
I love watching you. Your humor is just happened to be so funny in a good way❤❤❤😂
i want a fr nippon misaki doll SO BAD ive been to japan TWICE and they have a gorgeous display of them at the azone store but they dont have them for sale.....
omg YES i want totally spies dolls SO badly, one of my fave shows of all timeeeeeeeee
Although the Tonner company is no longer with us, Robert Tonner is still designing dolls. Virtual Doll Convention sells some of his new dolls. He also occasionally collaborates with differnet companies on dolls.
Love seeing your Grail dolls. Merry Christmas!
Princess Bratz..idk, may get reproduced. The Mini Bratz that have came out, seem to have full size come out too. We had the sleepover Mini figures , then we got the full size. The most recent Mini Bratz figures were Treasures & Princess. I know nothing, but it's interesting. 🤷♀️
The modern day 'Santa Baby' wishlist. You could add some things to a Throne Wishlist, if your community is interested in that sort of thing.
I am not a doll collector, but those Sailor Moon and that Chii doll are so beautiful, even I would be interested. I do collect the Pokemon Cards, but I'm pretty casual about it. My world is not going to end if I don't have a master set of anything, and I am not going to drop a stupid amount of money.
My big ticket unrealistic goal though? I work in the tech section of a department store and Sony has a lot to answer for. They keep releasing very pretty coloured PS5 controllers, and I low key want to collect them like Pokemon Cards. The current Chroma series has particularly nice ones.
I love love nikki (and just all the nikki games in general), so one of my grails is the nikki star sea bjd from aedoll that was announced/released in 2023, so pretty recent. The original price for the entire doll was 4599 yuan, which is about $900 canadian (money i definitely don't have to spend). Counting taxes and any duties i'd have to pay, I'd be spending well over $1000 cad to get her. I also don't think i've seen her on secondhand sites just yet.
Omg, I didn't know they made Nikki dolls
For me my grail dolls are the Anthy and Utena Dollfies (I am a member of the dollfie envy club) I’m actually lucky enough to have my other big one though! She’s not terribly expensive and she was my first big purchase with my first paycheck from my current job lol, I have the Azone Princess Syalis doll. I have loved Maoujou de oyasumi/sleepy princess in the demons castle since I read a scanlation of the manga lol but there isn’t a ton of merch for it. I managed to find an official retailer that had one still in stock for less than the second hand market price and snagged her. One of her hands doesn’t like to stay on if I move her but she is my favorite doll that I own lol.
I want the Ava Gardner and Bette Davis Tonner dolls, and for Barbie, I want the Jean Michele Basquiat doll, and for nostalgia, I want an original Blythe doll with the pull-string (eye color change)
....that's my holy grail/unicorn list!
Merry Christmas, dear! ✨️🎄✨️
The Tommy Feb blythe is one of my grails. As an artist I love her music and persona. And as a blythe doll collector I neeeedddd her.
My holy grails are:
1. Faraway Forest Elf Barbie
2. Elina Golden Label Barbie
3. Pearl Abyss x Blitzway Black Desert Dark Knight Figure (my main class since 2017)
😭
I really, really want the MDZS and TGCF ringdolls. The Crown Prince Xie Lian, in particular, is my number one desire.
One unrealistic set of dolls ( or even one ) that I would love, but no way would ever pay what they go for, is the Barbie...( I forgot their official label ), the Haunted Forest, Vampire, etc. They're like over $800 I believe. But fricken amazing.
Yesss....! The Violette Barbie is probably one of the best Barbies... No, best DOLLS ever made. Everything about her is so gorgeous-- Would be a dream to own one.
I don't collect too much anymore, but I primarily collected Japanese dolls. My grail dolls would be Sun Sun Eli, a scarce "Malibu Version" of an already rare Japanese exclusive friend of Barbie, the original "Nice to Meet You" release of the "Be My Baby Cherry" Doll by Odani Miyuki, the "Maxi" hair color Lady Licca doll, and the very elusive Kurombo Licca.
My holy grail has to be Silkstone Barbie 10 years tribute gold label from 2010. To me, she is absolutely gorgeous in her embroidered blue dress with the side ruffles. Her makeup is everything. Love her! 🥰
forever holding out hope for Verushka🥲💔
Im actually lowkey jealous of you because you have one of my grail dolls, which is Bratzillaz Fianna Fins
One of my best friends has 2 Kaito dollfies… to this day I do not understand how!!😅
Happy Holidays to you! This was so much fun! 🖐️🙂🍀👍
My grail doll definitely has to be the life-size version of M3GAN. She is my favorite horror character, and I would love to have a full scale movie sized version of her. However, she is really expensive and every time I try to tell my family about it, they always say she is too expensive for a doll. For now, I will just wait for the Monster High Skullector version of her.
One of my grails is tonner x the golden compass Lyra Silvertongue, with all her outfits (but most specifically, the winter coat outfit). She’s so detailed and gorgeous, and based on one of my very favourite characters ever. I never see her for sale, she was a limited edition of 1000 in 2008 and the movie flopped.
Also, most of the lolita brand collab pullips…. Sigh
I actually used to have Bratz Princess Jade growing up, she was my favorite so became the only one that kept her hair intact.
Fun topic...I just got one of my grails. She popped up & I didn't hesitate. 😂....I was so happy. I love walking by her & admiring her beauty. I only have a couple other grails, but it's ok if I never get them. I'm sure more will come.
Speaking of Dollfie I would loooove the Utena and Anthy pair, but they are so expensive
On the w club forum a member is currently selling Red Rabbit Misaki for a better price! ♥️
unrealistic bratz dolls i'll probably never get:
- play sportz teams tennis cloe and jade (THEY are SOOOO gorgeous and way too expensive and elusive)
- costume party lela version 1! dark lip version!!! (so sad they changed it later on bc wtf? thats perfect!)
- costume party cloe pouty princess
- nighty nite cloe 2nd edition
- flashback fever sasha
- any of the back to school dolls... those are priced so crazy omg
- head gamez rina blonde hair version (i use to pretend it was hannah montana as a kid sooo good)
- magic hair sasha
- midnight dance fianna and meygan
I grew up owning a full set of the learning curve totally spies dolls and maaan do i wish i still had them 😭😭😭😭😭 I remember finding them with my mom in 2006 at a kmart or like a dollar store or ollies or something of that nature, a store that had a lot of toys that were not brand name. We were both like "Wow i never knew they made dolls of totally spies!" I remember the dvds the dolls came with very well, i replayed them to death because i didnt have cable a lot of the time lol
There’s some rare/expensive Bratz, Novi Stars and Monster High dolls I’d like but if I could have ANY doll(s), it would be complete prototypes (I’ve seen some exist) of the cancelled LOL OMG Fierce Kitty K and Candylicious dolls. 💔
Newest grail for me that's probably unattainable: a be my baby Cherry doll, honestly I'd be happy with almost any of them. But secondhand they're like 1K, and although they're around $400 new my personal max for a doll is around $200, plus I'd have to navigate getting it from Japan which isn't easy because dolls sold on the official website go quick, and is also expensive with proxies and shipping. She's so cute though...
I’m not a doll collector but I do collect k-pop photocards, and there’s a particular photocard of Hongjoong from the group Ateez that has been one of my holy grail photocards for a long time (specifically the Movement Makestar Winner photocard). However, this photocard very rarely goes up for sale and whenever it does it’s for very large amounts that far exceed my budget, so I’ve just accepted that this photocard will never find it’s way to my collection 😅
As a long time fan of My Little Pony I think my ultimate grail would have to be one of the 1984 Takara ponies that had little nubby bodies and stood on 2 legs with full outfits and everything, I just find them so charming. There are hardly even a lot of pictures of them let alone listings but a girl can dream ;u;
I recently got my grail for an absolute steal. I got the Batman The Animated Series behind the scenes art book. They only made 500 and they go for hundreds of dollars but I fount one at a thrift store for $80. Mine is #493 out of 500 and I love having it 😊❤
I love your new salutation phrase ❤
my grails are sakura miku dollfie and haunt couture draculaura. i also would like sailor moon dolfie but in her super sailor moon outfit.. if they ever do a non-lottery re-release i might go for her. I know sakura miku is also getting a re-release very soon, but i already have one dollfie on a payment plan (alisae from ffxiv luckily she was also for sale on the square website which allowed for a year long payment plan... which wokrs out because she doesnt even ship until november of next year) thats the annoying thing about volks is the lottery type releases. i will say, i love Iori too but shes made using the Dollfie Pretty body type and let me tell you, finding clothes that actually fit that body type is so difficult. It seems volks has abandoned it (i think iori is still the only one who uses that body) I bought a blank one in that size because i wanted to make a custom doll, not realizing that shes not actually 1/3rd scale shes some bizarre inbetween 1/4th and 1/3rd so if you ever get iori and want to dress her up with clothes that are not her default, i wish you good luck! now im curious about what other dolls are you hiding from us :P
Kaito has been my favorite vocaloid since the beginning
And ny godh if I had a figure or doll of him Id be so happy .
Luka is kind of my second favorite vocaloid but kaito has always been #1
My ultimate holy grail is def schools out drac! Ughhhhhh why is she over $1000 on eBay????? I swear people want to see my fall 😢
Very enjoyable video! Love your eclectic tastes and collection! I tend to collect only one type of doll at a time, but I love seeing other people's collections, especially when they have dolls that I don't collect. I can enjoy them vicariously! In terms of grails, I have a Supergirl doll collection, and there's one Tonner Supergirl, wearing the two-piece blue costume, that I don't have. She's pricey, at least around $500, but maybe one day I'll have them. I also have a small Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm collection, and I'd love to have MIB large Ideal dolls. That's not too unrealistic because they can be found on eBay, but I can't swing it right now. I'd also like Funko Supergirls and Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. Again, not too unrealistic, but I need to quit buying Barbies so I can get them. One caveat about getting your grails: I collected Ellowyne Wilde (Tonner) for a good ten years. I have a large, extensive collection, and have managed to get all of my grails. Don't get me wrong. I love having my grails. But there isn't much in the Ellowyne world for me anymore. I have the dolls that I want and the new Ellowyne dolls that are being marketed aren't really my thing. So I've gone back to Barbie. No real grails because, for me, the fun is in customizing them and I can do that with inexpensive dolls, not incredibly expensive collectibles. Merry Christmas and I hope Santa overlooks that little pyromaniac thingie.
My unrealistic grail doll is D23 Giselle for sure. I shouldve fought to find a scalper/buyer when she came out. But I was a dumb dumb with my money and I regret it so much. It would be cheaper to cosplay a film accurate Giselle in her wedding dress in the grand scheme of things. Maybe her 20th anniversary I'll get whatever doll they release while wearing my hypothetical cosplay.
Other grails would be Wedding Cinderella from the live action film and the Platinum Beauty and the Beast where they're in their ballroom attire. I have the 30th anniversary set so I'll probably just get outfits custom made for them at some point.
“Officially still pending” is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard
Not a doll but I’d LOVE the Deep Sea Girl Miku figure!
Oh my god the Mana-sama one 😭😭😭 Mine was a specific Calne Ca figure. I was absolutely broke at the time and now it's a pain in the ass to get.
I think my most unrealistic grail dolls would be the Novi Stars that were exclusive to Europe and Dream of Doll Petsha-- this one is EXTREMELY unrealistic because BJDs are expensive already, but especially so a doll from a defunct company that was released in 2006 😔
I got into Volks Dollfie Dream dolls back in 2018 when I got my first Doll with is Miku Hatsune. And now I have the entire Vocaloid series + one custom and a IdolMaster Kaede doll. I worked very hard and sold so much stuff and I couldn´t be happier. My next goal would be Sailor Moon as well
I just noticed the Regina bratz doll on ur shelf, r u planning on making a video abt it?? I'm still grieving about not getting her 😭😭😭😭😭
Oh boy, I have a single Dollfie one my wishlist and it’s the Rapunzel. Though that d23 Rapunzel Dollfie lives rent free in my head, alas there is only one in existence.
As an AG collector I’m trying to 100% Kirsten’s collection, there’s only four items left and they are all stupid pricey😭
Lastly, the Takara Laputa Sheeta doll. Castle in the Sky is my favorite Ghibli film and I love that doll SO much. She’s pretty expensive second hand. I’d want the Kiki too but she is also really expensive.
Mine isn't inherently unobtainable because of the base price (The most expensive one I've ever seen was a full unopened glitter dragon set for like $200), but because they rarely are available to be sold internationally and so the shipping tends to be INSANE. For YEARS I've wanted to collect the Regal Academy dolls (especially my favorite character Joy (the frog girl!)) but anytime they pop up somewhere for sale they are usually not able to ship to my country or have $60-$100 shipping prices.
I am a mere college student, so I cannot afford to buy a doll already going for $30-$50, with $60 slapped onto it (not even including taxes and handling costs..), and so I have began to lose hope of ever owning one as the small amount that does get sold in ebay is slowly dwindling each year 💔... If I could ever at the least get my hands on a Joy doll, I would feel satisfied
I would love to have the cinderella doll from the enchanted doll, or any enchanted doll... But that's just a dream. Those dolls are more pieces of art than actual dolls.
The popovy sisters dolls also... Just daydreaming...
my holy grial will forever be, midnight dance meygan (or fianna), I’ve already accepted that i will never have this doll, because:
1 - I live in Brazil, and this doll was never released here which make things 10x harder
2 - I don’t know if it’s reasonable spending thousands just to import a doll lol
I've been low key hoping for a grails video from you. I primarily collect plush toys, my current grail is the 2007 japan exclusive year of the boar build a bear. Very limited numbers especially in the US and I have been unsuccessful in finding any on japanese auction websites. I've only seen 1 sold listing on ebay that was for about $800! would love to have one so bad. Another big white whale for me: there are these beetle shaped tamagotchi things called mushi pets. I do have one that I am very proud of, but its not in the best condition and I'd love to have a functioning one. There are a few versions of them that are more realistically beetle shaped and I would looooove those as well. And the worst part is, the only image I've ever seen of them is from a listing for two of them that sold for like $30. Insanely jealous!!!!
My Holy grails
- Barbie Dolls of the World: Princess collection (what can I say, i'm a Barbie fan and a huge sucker for Princesses)
- Any Winx doll based on seasons 1-3
- Barbie Faraway Forest
- Bratz Mean Girls dolls
Now for my non-doll holy grails
- Any Ben 10 figures based on the og continuty (I know Hot Topic did release some some figures based on Ultimate Alien)
- Batfam figures (The closest thing I have right now is a Talia Al Ghul funko pop)
Oooomg I am so excited for this !
Volks also did a Rose of Versailles release I would trade a kidney for;; especially Lady Oscar.
you are so real for that tommy one.
I own a number 2 Barbie. People might wonder why not a #1 instead. They have the same value, but #2 are more rare because they were made in lowest amount. Same for an original #2 stand, way rarer than a #1 stand. I bought mine throught ebay, theres tricks to differentiate a fake #1 or 2. Overall they are worth I feel around 5000. If the doll is a early handpainted #1 or if the doll comes with a vintage link silhouette box, the price will go up. Personnaly I would never buy from "known reputable" sellers. Because the only time I bought from one of them (a very well known one), there was a Barbie TM hatbox with the lot I bought. It was the item I was the more excited to get, and when I got it, the front of the hatbox, with the Barbie TM logo, was a paper photocopy glued on the hatbox. And When I brought it to them, they were like "if you dont want the lot send it back" even tho I wanted to keep the clothes, I just wanted a discount for the hatbox, because it wasnt OK to sell it as real. Since I saw and heard many shady things about them, and overall make me realised that "official" known sellers, are money hungry, and its something to be cautious about when its comes to pricey dolls. Reputation doesnt mean the items will be good or well priced.
my main grail dolls are Monster High Kieran Valentine ($500-$1000), Monster High Adult Collector Draculaura ($1000+), and Barbie Empress Bride ($600-$900), Barbie Haunted Beauty Vampire ($900-$1400)
Devilgotchi xP tamagotchis is a very expensive hobby i got into this year and those go for about $600. fun video, you’re so funny lol
