I'm in love...
With this customised Blythe doll.
*sobsob* She's worth a whooping $350 US dollars!
I think she's just absolutely gorgeous. But Blythe dolls have this effect on people, you either love them to the core, or find them hideously ugly. Unfortunately, I'm one of those mesmerised by these big-head dolls with changeable eyes. I think it's such an ingenious concept to pull a cord and have the colour of her eyes change. And don't scoff at this multi-million dollar industry (a typical 12-inch doll costs more than S$200!) That is without taking into account the manufacturing of parts for the dolls, from clothes to shoes to bags, accessories, eyeballs, wigs, yes, and even boyfriends. *haha, in the world of dolls, boyfriends are but just another fashion item* The collector's market is a massive money-generating machine.
Speaking of Blythe, I don't think she's got a boyfriend made for her, she's too cool I reckon. Pullip and Barbie are the girlish ones with male partners -- Namu and our all-time favourite Ken.
That's why even though Barbie and Pullip are the conventional pretty dolls, I am more interested in Blythe because of her personality.
Hang on, am I beginning to sound psycho?
Dolls with personality?
Err...I meant the personality and image her makers created for her.
*oops*
Yes, I'm a victim of branding and advertising.
But count on the Japanese to invent something like that. In fact, some dolls even have a list of their hobbies and favourite things!
Anyway, I'm not obsessed with ALL Blythe dolls. Because I have to say, some of them really do look they could be an extra on one of the "Chucky" series of movies, but this particular one, which has been modified just exudes attitude and nonchalence. Red hair on pale skin is always a winner. So I'm impressed by her "doctors". This was how she used to look:
Yes yes, dolls can go for makeovers too.
Hmm, I should like to name the red-haired babe "Momo". Inspired by Club Momo at Mohammed Sultan (if I didn't remember wrongly). Not that I've ever stepped foot or seen the club, but I've heard about it enough to think it's a yuppie hangout, so quite "class" la. And look, how many people, (okay, in this case dolls), can carry off a name like "Momo" without sounding retarded?
Now before I start sounding retarded.
Back to packing.
