You come across as a very kind person. I really appreciate that, the nicer the better in this world today. All of your dolls in this video are adorable, enjoy! And keeping making videos!
Awww what a sweet thing to say! I think my kindness comes from my happiness. My passion for my dolls brings me joy-so I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Ñ@@DisBlaine
I like the long form videos, especially for historicals!
Making long videos is stressful, but it’s getting easier. I’ll try to make another one day.
Planning to pick up the whole collection.
I’m so excited for you-you’ll love it all!!
I love your videos short or long ❤. Congratulations on 3 months.
Thank you! I was so shy and nervous at first. Now I can’t shut up 🤣
She is absolutely stunning. I will be going to New York City In 3 weeks And I will be picking up Julie's, so this video was perfect for me. Thank you again
I love this old/new outift on her! I hope you pick it up when you get her ❤
Oh, the girls are so adorable! Opening new dolls makes me excited, too! I would probably have a heart attack if I were to get three new dolls at once!😁 I want all the Julie outfits, also! The record player is super fun, but what about the Beatles? Must be copyright issues! Thank you Blaine, for the show and tell!😊
I can’t believe I waited an entire day after receiving them to open them 😆 It was actually so exciting I had to calm down after. I’m glad you enjoyed seeing them all. I love the record player! Way more than I expected
Awesome video as always! I just got the 3 Historical dolls as well and their birthday outfits.
I also purchased all of Julie’s outfit too. I love it all. I love how you put Kirstens birthday dress on your 100 truly me. It looks great on her. Thank you so much for your awesome video as always.
My TM100 loves that I put it on her too-she’s still wearing it 😆 I think I want to swap shoes between her and addy’s bday outift, because the colors go better that way. I’m so glad you got everything too! This was such a fun release 🥰
@@DisBlaine thank you so much! What a great idea of swapping boots.
Great video, thanks for sharing your amazing collection!
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked seeing them!
Great video! I like longer videos! I think it's great! Courtney does look so good in the new roller skating outfit! Thank you for dressing her in that! Everything is so nice! I know you will have so much setting up your displays with all your new things! Take care and have a great day Blaine!😃❤️
I wasn’t totally aware of how long the video was getting while recording… but then I tried to stand up after and I get it 🤣🤣
So far Courtney is still in the outfit but with some of her accessories. It suits her perfectly
@@DisBlaine oh yeah I get it!🤣🤣
I love all your videos and this one was great for a lazy Saturday afternoon. I love how excited you get, because that’s how I would feel if I were opening them. I’m glad you showed the new outfits because I probably would never be able to buy them and it’s so fun to pretend through you and see what they would really look like on my dolls. They always look different than the web site photos. Thank you!
Yay what a relief! Sometimes I hold back my excitement a bit so it’s not tooo uncomfortable for anyone watching. But I can’t hide all of it lol. I’m glad you liked seeing everything. It was probably a lot for one video 🫠
I love Julie,'s red white and blue roller skate outfit, she is wearing******great video as always*******
@@pamelagilbert8077 I love it too!! It’s the perfect summer outift. Unfortunately she’s a doll I change a lot, so I don’t get to enjoy any outift of hers for too long a period lol.
But then when I put it back on her, it feels new again.
I love how you just pulled Ivy out of nowhere...was totally not expecting her to be hiding behind the table!! Lol! 😊
Eeeks I love hiding dolls under my table before I introduce them 🤓😆
I actually appreciate the “dead air” because then I know how long it takes to dress the dolls 😄
So you might already know this, but just in case you don’t, all the original dolls, until Josefina, did not come with socks or shoes with their birthday outfits. But when Josefina was released, they also gave her shoes for her birthday outfit so since then, the dolls had shoes with their birthday outfits.
Haha i feel the same about wanting to see things in real time (not sped up), but usually I can gab enough to fill that empty space lol!
I don’t know when I learned that the bday outifts came without shoes, probably not until after I uploaded this. But maybe I did know and so many people were kind enough to explain that now I don’t remember lol.
But I definitely didn’t know Josephina’s outift came with shoes!
I probably didn’t know about the others not having them come to think of it. Otherwise I might’ve mentioned it when I talked about addy’s book cover 🤔
I would call the skin tone a more clay colored. Wonderful collection! I was a 70's gal in HS (grad 72') and College (76')and that music is not 70's to me. Just some thoughts but I do need to go back again. I just don't remember those songs and I worked in a record shop during college.
Clay coloured. That’s a good way to call it.
As for the music, it feels more like an homage to the era. I really enjoyed it though! But yeah it’s a bit on the parody side, just not in a mocking way.
Putting that crochet vest outfit on Ivy was inspired. Watch me run down to my doll room and copy that. Your new Addy is gorgeous and I had to hop over to AG and buy her as I only have Beforever.
@@steph585 yay I’m glad you liked the outfit on her! I hope you got to try it. It’s always better in person.
I really love Beforever Addy-but I’m so excited for you to have both 🥳
Great video! Thanks for showing all of the new stuff! Love your Addy collection! 💜
Thank you! I was really excited for the Addy pieces 🤗
Based on my childhood, I had clothes like Julie's skating outfit (including the tennis shoe skates) 1980-82.
@@saylorchibi yeah it seems a bit later than 1974 right? But there was probably a lot of bleed over from the 70s to the early 80s.
Congratulations on all your new American Girl Stuff! I will purchase Josefina part 2 because I bought the 35th Anniversary Josefina doll, but I took out her braid because it had so many flyaways. I will buy her at the American Girl Nashville for my birthday next month, not taking another chance for flyaways this time.
Thank you! And if you can buy any of these in person, that’s a must! My Josephina has funny eyes and a pretty iffy braid. I’ll wait before I attempt anything to fix her… but I might one day. I’m happy you’ll get to choose your favourite!
I don't care to watch or see things being opened again. PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME & DO NOT FEEL RUSHED. I can watch people open the same American Girl Stuff Over and Over Again. I appreciate hearing your opinions.
Haha I think I also rush in my excitement. Like I want to see the next thing because I had so much to get through. Also… I wasn’t sitting in the best position for an hour long video, so I’m glad I didn’t take even longer. I couldn’t even stand up after ☠️🤣
How cute is that record player!!! I think I need that too.
@@Jennifer-ru5kb okay now I’m going to be a full on bad influence because… I happen to know smart doll collectors buy AG play sets for their smart dolls. They’re lot always the perfect scale, but they seem to work well enough. However! Let me leave you with this warning: I started with collecting American girl play sets because they are AMAZING! I thought I could just stick to them because I wasn’t too in love with dolls. Well! Now I have over 100 of them. ☠️☠️☠️
Yes! I’ve been doing just that. The AG clothing and accessories are so well-made. I’ll buy an outfit for a jacket or a sweater and end up accumulating leftover pieces that I can’t use and I was okay with that until you pulled out those Healthy Roots dolls…..Now, I’m thinking just one doll and a friend? Then, I can justify the skates and the record player. 🤔 I don’t know. The real dilemma is fitting these dolls into my collection. I’m really an enthusiast; not a collector. I make the distinction only because I think as a collector you don’t need to justify anything. Collectors are going to collect, right? You see it, you want it, you like it, you buy it. I think I would be overwhelmed with too many. I have a number that I don’t want to exceed. I don’t know what the exact number is yet, but it’s definitely fewer than 100. 😅 Anyway, I digress. I will heed your advice and enjoy these dolls vicariously for as long as I can.
Thanks Blaine for showing the new collections. I love everything. I probably won’t get the new dolls because I only have space for one of each character although I do have a couple of duplicates. Julie’s Jump suit is so groovy. I may pick that up. I would really love Kirstin’s birthday outfit. So sad that they don’t ship to Canada. Your stand in dolls were really cute, especially the one in Josephina’s birthday outfit. You must have had so much fun opening all that. How exciting! Thanks for sharing. 🤗😊
Hey Cheryl! I had no room for these dolls too-so I’m taking down the mirror behind me in the video and putting up shelves.
Are you very far from the border? For me it’s worth the 1.5-2hr drive every month or 2 to pick up dolls.
And yes, this haul unboxing was such a rush I felt drained after, like a sugar crash 🤣
Actually I am not too far from the border. I have a doll friend who orders stuff to a postal box in the US. I am going to ask him if he would order some things for me. I am not big on driving or going across the border. I find it a bit stressful. I’m sure your displays will be beautiful when it is all finished! 🤗
@@CherishedDollFriends awww I love that you have a friend who understands! Driving over the border is even more stressful than driving in general, so I totally get it
Congratulations on three months. You’re much braver than I am. I keep thinking I should start a channel. Of course I was thinking it five years ago when I was deep into scrapbooking and paper crafts. Most of that stuff has gone off to new homes and it is financing myAmerican girl purchases. I can’t wait to see what you have in those boxes.
@@barbarawalsh2875 I used to really active on Instagram, but I didn’t even like including myself in pics of my dolls, so I don’t know how got on camera! Must’ve been denial, like I convinced myself I’d be kind of invisible because everyone would be distracted by my dolls.
Come to find out some people actually play my videos as background NOISE, like listening to me talk 🤣🤣
Another lovely presentation! Congrats on your beautiful new girls, and I LOVED watching you dress each of yours girls in the outfits!! The school outfit is absolutely perfect on Ivy - it even has a few colours that are reminiscent of her original outfit!! Hard to say which is my favourite, but I think Julie's school outfit and Kirsten's birthday outfit are my top two - and record player is brilliant - they did a nice job replicating popular 70s genres. My favourite is the country rock record!
I agree with others' comments - your kindness shines through in your presentations, and I feel very happy and at peace watching your videos.
Congrats on three months on RUclips! Very nice work!! 🌼🕊️
Yay thank you for sharing your favourites! I always want to ask in my videos but I feel kind of shy about it, like I’d rather let people say whatever they want without making them answer questions lol. I was really surprised how much I loved Kirsten’s bday outift once I put it on tm100.
And THANK YOU! Mentioning my kindness is such a compliment, so I hope that means there some truth to it. I’m glad you enjoy my videos! I’m getting more comfortable talking for longer periods of time (uh ohhhh!)
@@DisBlaine Hahahaha. I Love, love long-form videos, particularly about dolls, so talk away!!! 😄♥️
@@strawberrygirlie76 it seems like a lot of people do… so I’m trying to keep that in mind when I record 🫠
Ugh! I MUST have those roller skates! ….but then I’ll have to get an 18” doll and they’re going to need a friend. 😩 This was supposed to be a safe space. 😂 It just never ends. Thanks for sharing!
@@Jennifer-ru5kb uh ohhhh, I am being a bad influence!! I hope it’s not too late! Because yes this roller skating outfit is SO CUTE!! Maybe you can just admire it in AG videos.
Hey Blaine super excited about the dolls. I have the first addy but I will get this new one. I did purchase a Julie in good condition now I will get outfits. ( love that jumpsuit). As always thanks for sharing hope all is well with you doll are beautiful
Hi Donna 👋🏼 This Addy is definitely different enough to require a purchase! I realllllly love her. She’s my fave of this entire haul. But everything is wonderful. You’ll love Julie’s outifts 🥰
@@DisBlaine ok you know I am on it to buy😂
@@donnamcclam haha we have the same tendencies!
Thank you, Blaine! I watched the whole video, but I had to do it in 3 sections because we just got a puppy....and she doesn't sit still much, lol! Thanks for showing us the new items.
Congrats Sherry!!! You must be so excited to have a new family member! I’d bet it’s hard sitting through any videos, never mind one that’s almost an hour ☠️
Kirsten was my daughter’s very first one that I bought her. Then came Molly, and finally Samantha. I am not sure whether it was Felicity or Addie that came next. I’ve already told you Allison had 18 dolls over the seven years that she collected them. Then she graduated to Tiffany jewelry quite frankly. I still prefer the dolls. If it wasn’t that I have banned myself from buying any blonde hair blue-eyed girls until I add some diversity to my collection. I’ll have to hold off on Kirsten. The day Allison came home from a friends house, and the braids were out of Kirsten‘s hair. I almost lost my mind. I mean those are words you could’ve engraved on my tombstone at that time do not unbraid the dolls hair it went for Kirsten, and it obviously went for Molly.
@@barbarawalsh2875 awww I think it’s okay to have similar looking dolls - I have multiples of certain characters lol.
Oh and I’m excited for you to get your Julie - I forgot to say in my last comment.
Haha I think I would prefer my child collect dolls over jewelry too!
Wow! Only three months and you and your channel is already kicking butt!👍❤️. Congratulations! Also, I enjoy that you show your excitement! I feel you on that (hard to contain excitement).
Wellllll it’s more like 3 months and everyone has been very kind and inviting lol. But I’m always trying to improve. Also… this is me holding back my excitement because I become aware there’s a camera on me. Could you imagine what I’m usually like? ☠️🤣
@@DisBlaine 🤣
Info...I'm up to Josefina's accessories...you have to remove her sash to attach her pouch to her outfit. If it's like the older ones, there should be something on the back of the pouch to slip one end of the sash through. You then wrap the sash back around her waist and re-tie it in the back. You should then be able to reposition the pouch to the desired location, or you can also reposition the pouch before re-tying it off.
Ahhhh okay. I noticed a strap on the pouch and figured it was for her to hold like kits clutch. Once I get their shelving up, I’ll sort them out better. Thanks, I’ll try what you said!
Addy had her bottle accessory in the box
@@AlannaBorden oh no did i forget to show it?! It’s so long ago I can’t remember. I’ve shown it since i promise (lot of help that is!)
I just think it didn’t get taken out of the box
More info...Julie's floral jumpsuit used to be pared with her classic meet sandals, the new ones used to be part of her patchwork outfit.
Ahhhh her patchwork outfit! I knew they were familiar. And this jumpsuit didn’t come with shoes right? I bought her classic meet outfit recently, but it hasn’t arrived yet.
@DisBlaine Yes the original did not come with shoes, you would have had to use her classic meet sandals to finish the outfit. This was popular in the earlier Pleasant Company days, that you had to use the meet shoes and/or socks/stockings to finish the outfit.
@@AmericanBoyCollectAmericanGirl that explains why Addy is wearing her meet boots on the bday book. Oh and Josephina and Kirsten both have laces on their meet boots. They’re just the same color as the boots, so they may not show up very well on camera
@DisBlaine Also, the dolls don't always match the book cover...if you take Kirsten for instance, her Birthday book has always shown her birthday outfit with her Red Boots, never her Meet Shoes or her Two-tone Boots. And the boots to her Changes For Kirsten book cover have never been made for the doll.
I just made a video going through most of the Historical items that just came back, comparing the May 2024 catalog with catalogs from the 90s and 2000s. Hopefully, I can get it finished tonight or tomorrow.
I watched until the end and congrats on 3 months of Youtubing.
Oh yay, I’m glad it wasn’t too long for you. This was better to do than break it up into 3 vids.
FYI: What you're referring to is actually "hook and loop tape". Velcro is the name of the company that originally invented "hook and loop tape". I sew, and I despise hook and loop tape. I agree, it does cheapen clothing. I too collect Integrity Toys dolls, I'm so glad they still use hooks, zippers, buttons, etc. I'm an old guy, and it was a sad day when Mattel started using hook and loop tape on Barbie Clothes. Worse yet, Sekiguchi is now using hook and loop tape on Momoko doll clothing. Quality be damned! Sad.
Oh yes you’re definitely not alone in the Integirty community! Most collectors prefer the hook closures. I wish the threads they hook into weren’t so camouflaged sometimes but I see why many like that system.
I'm here, Blaine 😅lol.Kudos 2 u dressing [9] AG Doll's 😮. U r a Great multi tasker,don't ever let anyone say different 🥰. Oh yeah,i never went to sleep,u can really keep me interested 4 sure.

Just curious. Been meaning to ask u that 4 a very lòng time now😅.yeah,i pull all nighters alot .i know i shouldn't do it i mean beauty sleep as they call it,but i don't need worry bcuz i come from Great gene's 😏. Thankyou 🥰 Blaine 4 sharing.

@@fatimaazam6108 oh no! You need to sleep! I hope you don’t miss anything or sleep in.
But yes it’s a mirror. I’m going to remove it soon… because i need more doll shelves 🤣🤣
And yes! I sit on the spot of the couch beside the lamp. But I live alone, so the rest of the furniture doesn’t get used much lol.
I’m also a night owl, so I long for the weekend when I can go to sleep at 3-4am 😬
@@DisBlaine
Yeah,i understand about needing space 😅lol.Hey if i miss something it will still be there anyway,is the way i look at it.And if not so be it,life's to short to worry about it ya know.
Questions...Do Josefina and Kirsten have laces or something else on their shoes?? My older ones had strip-es of leather for Josefina and yarn for Kirsten. Also, does Kirsten have the new face mold?? I couldn't tell if it was the old or new from the catalog.
Oh it’s definitely the new face mold for Kirsten! Do they even have the old ones anymore? I can’t tell if they’ve evolved or just been replaced. I didn’t notice yarn on her shoes (I can check tomorrow) but I thought Josephina had faux suede laces.
Do collectors usually keep the boxes to these new AG dolls.
Depends on the collector. I used to keep all the boxes but now I limit it to boxes I like or find special in some way.
where is Kirsten Josefina and the new addy gonna be on display
Welllll you see that mirror on the wall behind me? It’s coming down for shelves to go up 😬
Kirsten in her bday outfit would look adorable in her bday outfit in tea party setup@@DisBlaine
@@pjrox93 oh no, you’re making me want to buy a second Kirsten-because I do have a great tea party display lol
@@DisBlaine no the one Caroline’s in
@@pjrox93 yeah that one - and I just removed a doll from it… but I also have another one to add this weekend 🫠
i Have Josefina 🤍🤎
Did you get this version or one of the older ones?
