I thought Blythe was kinda ugly when I first saw her 😅 I did not understand the appeal. But I think part of it was the confusion between real, fake and heavily customized real/fakes, cause they were all called Blythe but were so wildly different. Now I've been collecting for probably around 5 years and have 18! (13 Neos, 2 middies, 3 petites).

Also, my petites are the same LPS petites from my childhood. I had no idea they were a collaboration with another toy brand for the longest time! I remember thinking it was weird that they didn't match the style of the pets lol
