I so so soooo want a Blythe doll to customize and I have been hunting for some time now, but oh lord are they expensive. Ebay is brutal. I get outbid every single time, And I've been bidding consistently for about a month now. I would so love to buy a custom but with the prices the way they are my girl would have to sit alone among my Pullips for a very long time and I don't want that either...
I can now understand why, it seems, a lot of customizers and collectors tend to go for the factory girls. But, I'm not a huge fan of the factory dolls, and I'm too scared I'd buy one that would be poor quality. And for nearly $100 for most of them, I would much rather try to get a real one. But with the Ebay situation I haven't been able to get any girl...and I'm starting to get really discouraged. I wouldn't mind a used doll at all but I can't even get one of those. I'm quickly getting more and more discouraged about Blythe's in general now.
And on a side note I've really wanted to start customizing dolls, and I know theres a lot of hate toward customizers, but the idea of making a girl that someone out there would fall in love with and cherish puts a smile on my face. Even though having some extra cash would be wonderful my motive is not greed. I adore my custom Pullip and the idea of making beautiful dollies for others and having a creative outlet is just wonderful.
Sorry for the rant and hopefully soon I can snag a girl of my own. I just thought posting on here might reach others that have some of the same feelings as I do. Anyways, I hope you all are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for reading~! ^w^
