idk if anyone else did this but my sister and i used to play the equestria girls game and because we didn’t have any of the dolls, we would google pictures of them and scan their necklaces and it actually worked😂

I rlly rewatched all of ur a lot because they are so amazing. Your channel is my favourite ♡⁠(⁠Ӧ⁠ｖ⁠Ӧ⁠｡⁠)

Initially, I thought "Hey, cottagecore is still big right now, they should bring back more elements of the original few designs", but then I realized something. Cottagecore appeals to adults because it offers an escapist fantasy that suits our desires. The dream of building a cozy little home in some picturesque forest, far away from the stressful world of rent payments and 9-5s. Children probably don't dream of owning a house with a compost bin. Children dream of going on adventures, or being famous, or being cool mature grown ups. They probably don't want what I want. With that in mind, I think the new Strawberry Shortcake is a great redesign. It's appealing, diverse, and adventuresome. It's just not for me, in the most literal sense.

I loooooved these dolls. My first screen name was Diva1019 because of them. I had a mini Alexa 💖

Your voice is so relaxing to listen to coming from someone who's neurodivergent. Honestly, these videos deserve way more views, in my opinion. They're so thoroughly researched and every segment is given just the right amount of time that nothing ever overstays its welcome. I've watched your videos since I came across your "Disney Fairies" review and even as an autistic adult male, learning the history behind nostalgic toys, whether made for boys or girls in mind, is fascinating. If I had to pick out my favourite of your videos though, it'd be the Build-a-Bear one. If I'm being honest, you're one of the main reasons why I collect figurines, keychains and other things that people might consider childish, or ignorant of my age, but I don't care. One of these days, I'm planning to deep-dive into Power Rangers, Thundercats, Transformers, Action Man and other boy-centric material as a fun contrast. But honestly, being a former brony, I've always wanted to collect the ponies too. I love the visually appealing designs each unicorn, pegasus and earth pony has, and the uniqueness of each of their names. Less so with Bratz, Barbie and the Monster High/Ever After High brands, but I understand their appeal. Littlest Pet Shop always felt unisex to me, even if it was targeted towards girls in mind. Regardless, I've remained a firm subscriber of your videos for a long time, and its thanks to your content that I've subscribed to similar channels like LulaLoopsey and Athena P.

Thanks to this video I found out that I have a LPS Blythe! Recently a discover the doll but I never realize that it was the same that I had since I was a child! This made me very happy 😸💓 Edit: just to clarify, I have this type of Blythe 21:21

oh my gosh i remember the scooter game and the pet grooming game i played them all the time. i’m so sad theyre lost 😢

i was sad they got rid of summer, she was my favorite too 😢

47:46 no this is so real, my interests recently have become so childish and that isn’t a bad thing at all but my peers and parents make me feel like a anomaly of some sorts, I’m 20 now and I’m a toy collector so you can probably understand what they think ab it lol 😭 pandemic growth stunt ruined so many things goshhh

Ohhh theyre so cute,,, I rlly wanna get one now.. ur doll iz so cute.. also I adore ur videos so much 💓

My only interactions with the franchise were hearing about it from my boomer and Gen X family members and receiving the Strawberry Shortcake lipbalm keychain at McDonald's. But now I'm intrigued! They're super cute and the theming is well executed. I think my favorite designs are from the not-Gen 2, but I do appreciate Gen 2 as well 😊

I had the PC game as a child. I think they could make a comeback honestly, but they do badly need a bit of a redesign because their legs look like they're being poured into their shoes. I remember being distinctly uninterested in Miranda when she was added to the website lol. I confused her with Alexa. Ahhh I remember the webisodes. :O

Where to get an official one?

It's not about the eyes. She is very sad looking and her head is too balloony on he small body.

vinted? are you from poland/czechia or slovakia?

oh my god there was this gameboy game that I played on the DSi called "dogz" that I dont think was within the "petZ" franchise but was so unbelievably charming. It was all 8-bit, you got to pick your character, and then adopt a dog from the pound and bond with them until you had to GIVE YOUR DOG BACK. It was HEARTWRENCHING. I can literally smell this game though. I want to play it again so bad!

good video, i'm glad of find someone that still remember the EG franchise

I LOVED Pet Society. I had almost all collections of clothes and accessories.

I was never much into the shows or movies, but I read the books! I remember seeing them in the library and being infatuated with the art style and character designs. Also, YOU WERE BORN IN 2005???? I feel so old T-T

My sisters love Blythe they’re just so captivating

I still have my tiny Bibble! He sits on my dresser 😂

I like fashion diva starz more than the regular ones. I don't know why. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe because, they reminds me of equestria girls. Idk.

❤ I only buy fakes of color

❤i had the original from 1972. I loved her and love fake or not still

There is something my brain doesn't like about any character design where the eyes are so low that they match or dip below the level of the nose; Betty Boop, the MLP reboots, Blythe, Funkos. Don't like the appearance of any of them. HOWEVER, while they are not my cup of tea, I am not a real hater. I do love toys and this was a fascinating deep dive into this interesting doll. I can see how the eye gimmick lends itself to photography as you can have them looking in different directions. The original outfits are pretty cute and the way customizers are going ham on them is amazing. Customizing dolls is super fun. Can confirm. Toys and dolls are a fun, harmless hobby and it's sad that adults get so much flack for being into them.

Pretty sure I had some version of Summer? (The red head doll) her look is so familiar and I can imagine braiding and unbraiding her hair and she has green eyes like me. I was the target demographic, but I’m surprised I don’t have more visceral memories of this.

I like that in the movies fairy wings are reminiscent of cat and dog tails and how it can represent an emotion. Like when they get scared or worried their wings go down, when they are content their wings flap slowly, and when they are actively engaged their wings flap quickly

I remember owning a tinkerbell book, and though I don’t remember anything about it, I remember how much I loved the art. As a kid, I loved fairy tales and owned a lot of detailed fairy tales books, and that definitely started with Tinker Bell

I gotta be honest. This has kind of become my most recent comfort video. 🫶🏻 Thanks a bunch, Strawberry!🧋This video has been fuel for a lot of welcome nostalgia for me lately.

I know I'm very late and this was your first video, but you are absolutely beautiful. You're interesting and your voice is so melodious, I loved your deep dive. Definitely gonna share you to my friends!

i just love the slideshows with the aesthetic of the Blythe doll

My name is Blythe...

been loving blythes since i was young, really hope tiktok doesn't ruin it like most cases

Omg as a 2012 kid, this was my whole childhood ages 1 - 5, i would watch these movies every day! ❤

I think the Pixie hollow books (including the Fairy Dust trilogy) were intended to take place after the original Peter Pan Book, written in 1911 (It is a darker book than the Disney version). The 6 Tinkerbell films were prequels to the Disney Peter Pan film, so they are much lighter in nature. So personally I don't think the books and films exist in the same continuity, but thats just my guess. Also, in my opinion the Pirate fairy was the weakest of the 6 films, because Zarina knew that stealing the pixie dust would doom fairy society but she did it anyway, and in my opinion she was justifiabley fired from her job. It was obvious that Fairy Gary would've come and given her another chance after some time. Also, her plan would've doomed our world too if fairies couldn't come and change the seasons. So Zarinas plan would've killed lots of fairies (because they couldn't escape hawks and their society would collapse), and would've killed millions of humans (because Earth becomes seasonably locked resulting in famine and death), Zarina only feels bad AFTER Hook turns on her, so she gets no sympathy from me.

There is absolutely no basis for this hc other then my own life experiences, but i always imagined that sunset shimmer was put into the foster care system after the school found out she was homeless. More an au then a hc but it made young me feel more represented and less alone in the world lol

omfg you were able to capture the history of blythe in such a good way. i love videos like these ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I grew up alongside strawberry shortcake, she was my absolute favorite as a child. I also recall watching the gen 1 specials as a little girl as well, even though they were released before my time. I think gen 1 is my favorite, i love how sweet she looks.

**Thorfy:** (standing in the empty classroom, glancing out the window) Sunset Shimmer, may I have a word with you? **Sunset Shimmer:** (walking in hesitantly) Of course, Mr. Thorfy. Is something wrong? **Thorfy:** (turning to face her, his expression stern but calm) Yes, there is. I've been hearing troubling things about your recent interactions with some of the other students, particularly the Dazzlings. **Sunset Shimmer:** (sighing, her shoulders slumping) I know, but you have to understand, the Dazzlings are dangerous. They tried to take over the school with their magic. They were manipulating everyone. **Thorfy:** (raising a hand to stop her) Sunset, I am aware of what they did. But this is not about what they did; it is about how you responded. You made them your enemies, and that is where you went wrong. **Sunset Shimmer:** (frowning) But they were hurting people. What was I supposed to do? Just let them? **Thorfy:** (shaking his head) No, Sunset. You should have sought a way to neutralize their threat without turning them into enemies. There is a trend, a philosophy, if you will, that you seem to have forgotten: 'I have no enemies.' It means finding a way to deal with conflicts without making adversaries. **Sunset Shimmer:** (confused) How could I do that with the Dazzlings? They were using dark magic. **Thorfy:** (leaning against his desk, his expression softening slightly) I understand that it is not always easy, especially in the heat of the moment. But by making the Dazzlings your enemies, you only fueled their animosity and made the situation worse. You must strive to understand your opponents, to find common ground if possible, and to defuse conflicts without creating more. **Sunset Shimmer:** (frustrated) But I tried to help them, I really did. After the Battle of the Bands, I reached out, but they didn’t want anything to do with me. What was I supposed to do then? **Thorfy:** (nodding slowly) Sometimes, despite our best efforts, people are not ready to change. But that does not mean we should give up on the principle. You have to be patient, consistent, and above all, unwavering in your commitment to not making enemies. Reflect on how you handled things. Could there have been a different approach, even after their initial rejection? **Sunset Shimmer:** (thoughtful) Maybe... Maybe I was too quick to judge them after they turned me away. I just felt like I had to protect everyone. **Thorfy:** (softening his tone) Protecting others is noble, Sunset. But you must remember the consequences of your actions here in Canterlot High. You know firsthand how easy it is to be seen as a villain and how hard it is to redeem yourself. Don't put others in that same position if you can help it. **Sunset Shimmer:** (nodding) I see your point, Mr. Thorfy. It's just... hard. **Thorfy:** (smiling slightly) Of course it is. But the right path often is. Remember, never, ever make enemies, regardless of the consequences. Always look for another way. It's a lesson you must take to heart if you truly wish to make amends and grow. **Sunset Shimmer:** (determined) I'll try, Mr. Thorfy. I promise I'll try to find a better way next time. **Thorfy:** (placing a hand on her shoulder) That's all I ask, Sunset. We all make mistakes, but it's how we learn from them that truly defines us. Now, go on. I'm sure you have classes to get to. **Sunset Shimmer:** (smiling gratefully) Thank you, Mr. Thorfy. I'll do my best. **Thorfy:** (nodding) I know you will. Remember, no enemies. Now, off you go. (Sunset Shimmer exits the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose, leaving Thorfy to ponder the weight of his own advice.)

I had all of them! But between consistency moving, I lost them. 😢 I wish I had kept them.

Tinkerbell legend of the never beast made me cry the first time I watched it 😭😭. I was born in 2001 so I was a bit older when I watched it and had more understanding. PSA don’t watch this on your time of the month girlies 😭😭😭😂😂😂🤣

I love your hair clips girlll ❤❤❤

I finally got nintendogs Ds and im so happy, i also had sims afican animals and lps on the Wii during my childhood. I always loved animals when i was a kid! :D

Thanks to this video I got myself the pixie hollow never faries book about all the info and honestly: one of the most interesting books I ever had, I love it so much that they had their own world and way of living its so interesting to see✨

Wow that’s so expensive I made my frog for 90 euros ( Ireland)

I don't get the "creepy" label, tbh. You might as well say that about all dolls, really. They're like an earlier iteration of Bratz dolls.

I'm a straight guy and I love this video ! So glad it was recommended ! I got my first Custom Blythe last week .. but now I already own 4 gorgeous and unique customs that were all made by very talented veteran artists ( 3 TBL fakes and 1 original Ob24 ) Im a collector of many forms of Art but Blythe is extra special.. They have an ora about them and those eyes will suck you in for sure 🤩 Super photogenic and so much fun to dress them up in cute Lolita outfits

What I will never understand is why the fakes have absolutely amazing hair and the authentic blythe's hair is awful

Heyy. I have a great suggestion for you! Do Bella Sara next. It was this franchise about magical horses, complete with lore and world-building and an RPG game. It's in tune with your content type for nostalgic franchises marketed at girls, and I just know you will love their artwork of Magical Horses. I can even help with the video if need be!

This was so helpful! I've been trying to get into Blythe but was intimated by confusing the customs vs original dolls. Your aesthetic and sound design is just so gorgeous and inviting amazing work!!! 🌸‼💫🤍🍃🌻
