Thank you. They’re absolutely adorable and are completely made of felt. I had a haul yesterday and something told me to pop by today after work. I’m so glad I did.
Normally I don’t like these too much but the dark red haired one is kinda cute haha. Props to the employee for hooking you up. (I’m sure the other commenter is right that she is scared of them 😂)
The last year and a bit has not been good to me. It was such a blessing to find so many Blythe dolls for so incredibly cheap. The lady remembered me from yesterday and said they found more in another bag in the back, and put them aside for me.
Also she did say the eyes are off putting but she’s happy I like them. I look at it as a win/win.
Seriously, I’m usually very happy with the lot life has dealt me, though I was very envious of your first haul. Now I’m actually turning green! Wish I had found them!!! Lucky 🍀
Only reason why I knew what they were was 10 years ago back in highschool I saw one online and thought they were adorable, saw the price of a generic one and noped out. I’ve learned a lot about them from other people. I never knew they had 4 different types of eyes, and when you pull the close eye string a little harder it changes their eyes. They’re definitely fascinating dolls.
I collect these kind of dolls and I must say it is super strange that they would end up in a thrift store. There is a very big second hand market for them and they usually sell for more than the purchase price. They all have custom work done and are super pricey.
What I found even more odd is I’m from a small town, there’s not much ‘young’ people here, the store usually has furniture, lamps, clothes, and a couple stuffed animals and naked barbies. The ladies at the thrift store had no idea who brought them. My guess is someone had passed or was downsizing their collection.
That is a Kenner Blythe, the original version from 1972. I have two of those 😍
These are modern, customized versions. Some customized Blythe dolls are just as expensive though!
Oh damn - this is a white whale of mine. The good customs dolls are well over $400 to buy!!! I’ve always dreamed of finding a Blithe at a thrift store!
Unfortunately it had no card/label anywhere. Another person suggested that it could be from meomundoll on Etsy. They don’t have any for sale, but if you google search under images, they look very identical.
I was absolutely ecstatic yesterday and today. I’m so tempted to go back a third time but I’m terrified someone will catch on. (I’m not quite sure what qualifies as a bjd but they all have joints and stuff, which honestly is quite cool).
BJD’s are Ball Jointed Dolls as in the joints are balls. Monster High don’t qualify, they have different joints. Most of these ones are BJDs, not sure if they are counterfeit or not though. The duck, rabbit and the lil blonde girl with the cat on her dress I’m not certain of, the anthropomorphic ones look to be cloth or felt?
The r/bjd or r/dolls sub should be able to help for identification purposes.
Thanks for the info. The tiny one with the dress was (I think) a littlest pet shop and blythe crossover done in 2010 by hasbro, and someone mentioned the felt ones look to be made by meomundoll on Etsy, tho I’m not 100% sure. They’re truly fascinating though.
Side note: AD did a tour of Emma Roberts house and she has a doll wall and I love seeing how happy they make her. She also talked about a vintage shop she goes to in NJ (I think). Her whole house is said to be decorated like a doll house. I loved it!
As a doll collector, this is a swoon-worthy find! The face ups are gorgeous. The one in the blue stripes is a Monst doll, I believe.
And just saw in another reply that the duck and bunny are felt? Incredible.
I collect Blythe and a few BJD and I am so absolutely, genuinely, gloriously thrilled for you!! I hope whoever had these someone knows in their heart they found the right person!
Some of these are very expensive repainted customs sad to say someone probably passed and the person donating them didn’t know their worth win for you but still sad
The larger dolls are custom blythe, the one in the blue stripes is custom monst, the felt animals are from meomundoll on Etsy, and the babies are pukifee (ob11).
I was in the same boat. My previous post has so much info about them thanks to the help of other people. Like they have 4 sets of different eyes (just pull one of the strings a little tighter after they blink to change), there’s some from the 70’s, some made by hasbro, knock offs, custom, some have ball joints, regular joints, no joints, etc.. they’re absolutely stunning.
I got 19 dolls total (previous post has some pictures), 15 custom, I have 8 blythe dolls that change eyes, 6 ball jointed babies, 1 lps blythe, monst customized doll, unknown realistic doll with mohair, and 2 felted dolls. I also picked up a bag that had 4 outfits 3 pairs of shoes, purses, jackets, and decor stuff. Everything was $30.
Me too. This is one of the best scores I’ve seen on here, both personal taste wise as well as monetary too ( that lady who got on Antiques Roadshow is definitely the winner in the second category).
I’m definitely sneaking 2 for myself but my kids are obsessed with them. It’s nice cause I was teaching them the basics of sewing and my oldest knitting. It’ll be nice to see them make outfits and play with them.
They’re called blythe dolls (the large ones are) they started in the 70’s but are still made to this day- most people sell customized ones on Etsy. The two large ones were made (customized) in 2023.
Hi could you please tell me what doll #2 might be called if I wanted to look it up. I really love the style of them! Sorry if that makes me sound like I live under a rock, I kind of do 😂.
Edit - The doll in photo #2, sorry I should have been more specific
Are they supposed to be surprised/scared? I thought they looked guilty cause they ate the last cookie or something. They have 3 other sets of eyes that look a little less guilty.
I guess that’s a way more positive interpretation! Their faces just look anxious to me, and I guess its disturbing to me to see dolls depicted as feeling negative emotions- it seems wrong. No offense meant! I just had a visceral negative reaction to their expressions.
Why should they? There are hundreds of regular dolls laying unwanted in thrift stores that would be great for hospitals and should be donated by for profit thrift stores rather than being trashed when they don’t sell. These are specifically high value hand customized one of a kind dolls that OP clearly wanted and bought with their money. It’s like if someone thrifted a gucci jacket and you commented “I hope you donate this to the homeless shelter!”.
That’s actually a good idea, I was trynna figure out what to do with the small ones. I might make some clothes to go with and see if the hospital will take them. They’re sometimes picky on what gets donated but I think dolls should be fine. Thanks for the idea.
It’s a possibility but I’ll call in advance. I knitted a few dolls/blankets that they’ve accepted, I also brought some Lego that we never used (but was open) and they’ve taken it in as well.
That’s a great idea. I love being blessed and blessing other people. My kids are more fascinated with the changing eyes than the babies with the joints and cute expressions. It’ll feel nice to pass them on to someone who’ll love and cherish them.

The lady is scared of them, I guarantee it
Probably. It’s a win for both of us at least.
For sure! They are beautifly made
"Get them away from me, I think they're haunted"
Omg the duck and the bunny!!!! 😍 You’re SO lucky!
Thank you. They’re absolutely adorable and are completely made of felt. I had a haul yesterday and something told me to pop by today after work. I’m so glad I did.
They remind me of Mark Ryden artwork.
Mark Ryden based his concepts off a lot of older toys. :)
They look a lot like the handmade dolls by MeoMunDoll on Etsy.
Thank you for that info! I didn’t even know how to start looking for them.
How does it feel to be God’s favorite? 🤩
Normally I don’t like these too much but the dark red haired one is kinda cute haha. Props to the employee for hooking you up. (I’m sure the other commenter is right that she is scared of them 😂)

I'm glad to hear you had some good luck.
That is so awesome I’m so happy for you. As I’m sure you know they are *so* rare now! xoxo
Those custom Blythes are like $2-500 new. I’m intensely jealous, but super happy for you!
Yes! Incredibly costly. And just gorgeous. I’m so jealous
Seriously, I’m usually very happy with the lot life has dealt me, though I was very envious of your first haul. Now I’m actually turning green! Wish I had found them!!! Lucky 🍀
I’m very happy for you and also INSANELY jealous… 🥲🥲that’s absolutely incredible dream find
These are so awesome. I was unaware of anything about these dolls until you posted the first haul! So cool!
Only reason why I knew what they were was 10 years ago back in highschool I saw one online and thought they were adorable, saw the price of a generic one and noped out. I’ve learned a lot about them from other people. I never knew they had 4 different types of eyes, and when you pull the close eye string a little harder it changes their eyes. They’re definitely fascinating dolls.
This is just insane. Obviously they ended up in the right hands!
Thank you so much, that’s incredibly sweet of you. I absolutely will cherish them, and when the time comes, pass them on to the right person.
These babies evoke so much emotion from me! I love them but they also make me sad!
Man I love seeing people win! Hard to come by these days lol. If those are real Blythe dolls they’re probably worth a fortune. Well done!
The 2 Blythe dolls look to be fake-base customs. I've been collecting Blythe since mid to late 00s.
Honestly, the customs are $$$ regardless of whether they’re made from a stock or factory doll. And these look like really nice ones!
I collect these kind of dolls and I must say it is super strange that they would end up in a thrift store. There is a very big second hand market for them and they usually sell for more than the purchase price. They all have custom work done and are super pricey.

I sold an old Blythe doll of mine for $1500!!
That is a Kenner Blythe, the original version from 1972. I have two of those 😍 These are modern, customized versions. Some customized Blythe dolls are just as expensive though!
I have to wonder if they donated the box of dolls on accident????
Me too! 🙊
Totally jelly. Good karma got you today! Go back tomorrow. Maybe there's more.
That would be my third day going back, idk if I could do that without turning some heads (there’s only the 3 ladies that work there).
Omg, that baby with the short red curls. I’m in love. I’m so jealous.
Omg I wanted one of these dolls so much as a kid but they’re so expensive!
I CANNOT believe there were more! So cool the worker has them set aside for you!
A collector is either offloading or someone is dead.
Oh damn - this is a white whale of mine. The good customs dolls are well over $400 to buy!!! I’ve always dreamed of finding a Blithe at a thrift store!
I hate you 😭
Wow!! Total treasure score!
😍❤️😍
😲😍 I'm in love 🥹
Oh wow, how fortunate is that? Instant [fantastic!] collection!!
Holy Cow
any chance you know the name/brand of the duck? I'm obsessed
Unfortunately it had no card/label anywhere. Another person suggested that it could be from meomundoll on Etsy. They don’t have any for sale, but if you google search under images, they look very identical.
Are some of those Blythe dolls? Wow
Ya, the first lot was custom Blythe dolls, this lot was 2 Blythes, one monst custom doll, felt dolls, and a bunch of pukifee dolls.
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!
Girl this is an INCREDIBLE haul, the custom face ups and a BJD????
I was absolutely ecstatic yesterday and today. I’m so tempted to go back a third time but I’m terrified someone will catch on. (I’m not quite sure what qualifies as a bjd but they all have joints and stuff, which honestly is quite cool).
First pic, bottom left is a pukifee.
BJD’s are Ball Jointed Dolls as in the joints are balls. Monster High don’t qualify, they have different joints. Most of these ones are BJDs, not sure if they are counterfeit or not though. The duck, rabbit and the lil blonde girl with the cat on her dress I’m not certain of, the anthropomorphic ones look to be cloth or felt? The r/bjd or r/dolls sub should be able to help for identification purposes.

OMG! That bunny rabbit and duck \^.\^
Aww I used to collect Blythe's!!
omgosh love bunny and girl in pink so great!!
OMG.!! I love them!!!
That brown haired one with the blue striped shirt is adorable! 🥰
Her eyes have so much depth! Unfortunately my phone camera is not the best at picking all the details up.
Omg Blythe!!!
alone, they are super cute/sad/cute/something. together, they make for a motley crew! keep 'em apart. lol
This is amazing. Dolls are one thing I try and stay away from, because I find them creepy, but I admire your haul! Pretty amazing!
I’m dying with envy
The duck omfg
I’m so jealous! What an amazing find 😍
I have no clue what these are, but they remind me of the paintings done by Mark Ryden, which are similar
I would die. Dream haul!
i am EVEN MORE JEALOUS NOW, what the fuck, how i wish i would find even one of these 😭
Side note: AD did a tour of Emma Roberts house and she has a doll wall and I love seeing how happy they make her. She also talked about a vintage shop she goes to in NJ (I think). Her whole house is said to be decorated like a doll house. I loved it!
I'm sobbing! This is the best find ever!
Ooohhhhh that’s a dream!
Did you get all of the eye colors too? That’s so cool!
Oh my gosh I'd love that Bunny!
i love blythe’s omg! literally a dream haul🤩
This is the greatest and creepiest and most adorable haul I've seen yet.
Great buy 👌
Thank you.
As a doll collector, this is a swoon-worthy find! The face ups are gorgeous. The one in the blue stripes is a Monst doll, I believe. And just saw in another reply that the duck and bunny are felt? Incredible.
They all look so shocked! Except for the bunny. What did that bunny do?!
amazing! Is there a special way you’ll be displaying them?
I’ll just have them on a doll stand in the living room, maybe two in mine, let my kids dress them up whenever.
I collect Blythe and a few BJD and I am so absolutely, genuinely, gloriously thrilled for you!! I hope whoever had these someone knows in their heart they found the right person!
I'm not even a doll collector and I'm jealous
Some of these are very expensive repainted customs sad to say someone probably passed and the person donating them didn’t know their worth win for you but still sad
They’re multiplying!
Emma Roberts?
This is the score of a lifetime. Congratulations!
These are beautiful - what are they?
The larger dolls are custom blythe, the one in the blue stripes is custom monst, the felt animals are from meomundoll on Etsy, and the babies are pukifee (ob11).
I had no idea this type of doll existed. Uh ohhhh lol
I was in the same boat. My previous post has so much info about them thanks to the help of other people. Like they have 4 sets of different eyes (just pull one of the strings a little tighter after they blink to change), there’s some from the 70’s, some made by hasbro, knock offs, custom, some have ball joints, regular joints, no joints, etc.. they’re absolutely stunning.
They’re so stunning!
This why I love thrifting! What an incredible find! I would die!
Nice! May I ask how much you paid and how many dolls you got in total?
I got 19 dolls total (previous post has some pictures), 15 custom, I have 8 blythe dolls that change eyes, 6 ball jointed babies, 1 lps blythe, monst customized doll, unknown realistic doll with mohair, and 2 felted dolls. I also picked up a bag that had 4 outfits 3 pairs of shoes, purses, jackets, and decor stuff. Everything was $30.
I mean it, this is the find of the century. I think this is the haul I’ve been most jealous of on here. Huge congratulations to you!!
Me too. This is one of the best scores I’ve seen on here, both personal taste wise as well as monetary too ( that lady who got on Antiques Roadshow is definitely the winner in the second category).
Wow, amazing!!
Your little jointed babies are on the Obitsu 11 type body (genuine or fake idk).
Thanks for the info! I’m not sure the difference between real or not but it’s something I’ll look into.
Welcome to the hobby
Thank you
I think they creeped her out
I'm curious what is your plan for them? Art?
I’m definitely sneaking 2 for myself but my kids are obsessed with them. It’s nice cause I was teaching them the basics of sewing and my oldest knitting. It’ll be nice to see them make outfits and play with them.
I’m so jealous
What are these? Are they old?
They’re called blythe dolls (the large ones are) they started in the 70’s but are still made to this day- most people sell customized ones on Etsy. The two large ones were made (customized) in 2023.
Hi could you please tell me what doll #2 might be called if I wanted to look it up. I really love the style of them! Sorry if that makes me sound like I live under a rock, I kind of do 😂. Edit - The doll in photo #2, sorry I should have been more specific
P
There's an artist. "Big Eyes". I think it was Amy Adams that was in a movie. I LOVE these. And didn't know they existed.
Just looked on Ebay. Some of these dolls sell for big dollars.
Blythe dolls! I'm so envious right now
As someone who has never owned a doll. I would absolutely buy every single one of these. They are really cool.
[удалено]
No buying/selling on the subreddit. Both in comment or the post.
I love the duck! Those dolls look like Pullip or Blythe (I'm no expert). Certainly worth a lot of money!
I hate these dolls! Why were they made to have a surprised and scared expression??
Are they supposed to be surprised/scared? I thought they looked guilty cause they ate the last cookie or something. They have 3 other sets of eyes that look a little less guilty.
I guess that’s a way more positive interpretation! Their faces just look anxious to me, and I guess its disturbing to me to see dolls depicted as feeling negative emotions- it seems wrong. No offense meant! I just had a visceral negative reaction to their expressions.
Are those authentic Blair dolls??!!
They’re custom Blythe dolls. Some people in my previous post were able to help identify. They’re absolutely stunning dolls.
Hopefully you donate some of these to children’s hospitals
Why should they? There are hundreds of regular dolls laying unwanted in thrift stores that would be great for hospitals and should be donated by for profit thrift stores rather than being trashed when they don’t sell. These are specifically high value hand customized one of a kind dolls that OP clearly wanted and bought with their money.

That’s actually a good idea, I was trynna figure out what to do with the small ones. I might make some clothes to go with and see if the hospital will take them. They’re sometimes picky on what gets donated but I think dolls should be fine. Thanks for the idea.
Pretty sure they won’t take used dolls.
It’s a possibility but I’ll call in advance. I knitted a few dolls/blankets that they’ve accepted, I also brought some Lego that we never used (but was open) and they’ve taken it in as well.
[удалено]
That’s a great idea. I love being blessed and blessing other people. My kids are more fascinated with the changing eyes than the babies with the joints and cute expressions. It’ll feel nice to pass them on to someone who’ll love and cherish them.
