Incredibly Cute Target Exclusive
Okay, I do NOT collect any of the Blythe Littlest Pet Shop dolls. Remember. I draw the line at big-headed dolls. Usually. I am not keen on inset eyes either. (Exception, my childhood Chrissy, Kerry, two Mias, and Hasbro Aimee, oh and my baby Pumpkin.) However there is something so incredibly cute about this new Target exclusive Blythe. She's wearing a dress that has the Target design in black and white. Oh and she's possibly the ONLY Blythe Littlest Pet Shop doll I have seen with BLACK hair. Big blue Daisy-like eyes. I don't even *see* the peculiar creatures with her.
Repeating to self: I only took this photo for Niel and others who find these dolls cute. Have NO intention of going back to Target after I get paid and nabbing one for myself. No, no, no. Hard enough to resist the Barbies, the Liv bodies, the Integrity dolls ... but do I see wee little Wellies on her feet? Noooo fair, Target!
I love the Hasbro Aimee. There was something about her I couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteYes, she had a woozy smile, I thought - grinning on my part. She was the mother of my Ideal Mias (twins Mia and Tia).
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteShe's really cute. Based on online pics, she seems to have a lighter skin tone. All my LPS Blythes have the same skin tone so I'm in the look out for something different. And I also like her wavy hair.
Too bad she's not available here. But I don't have enough motivation to get her online only because I'm currently busy playing with my other dolls. :)
Hi Niel! Glad you saw her - here anyway ;-D. I thought you would enjoy seeing her.
ReplyDeleteDid you just make a post sorta, kinda admitting that a Blythe doll may actually be cute to you? What is this world coming to? You know it starts with just one picture.... next thing you know, you have 15 new dolls in your collection.
ReplyDeleteI am not a collector of these either, but I do love her hair.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Kim! Yes, I suppose I did. Must be a Green Moon or some other eerie occurrence, hmmm? I maintain that the bigger ones do nothing for me - still - but there's something so dag-nab-it cute about these little ones ... grrrr!
ReplyDeleteNone of them have been so cocky as to leap into my shopping cart. Sigh. Yet. They just keep casting out these, aw come on, you KNOW you think I'm cute. Give in to us tiny ones. Tiny fingers crook while those big blue and/or green eyes pretend to NOT see me. Aaaaahhhh!
Vanessa, the wavy or curly hair ones get me, too. And black hair? Must hold fast. Playscale only. Playscale only ...
