      That blouse is really something else, and so detailed. She definitely comes with some fabulous pieces, I feel that they put such effort into her. I was really lucky to get out and take the photos when I did as it started to rain towards the end and I wouldn't have had chance otherwise.

      If people are going to use months for their babies/children then it's only fair that we carry on the tradition I think. My maths is so bad I wouldn't have a clue how old anyone was if we did and I'm kind of relying on the fact that everyone's maths is as bad as mine!
      And thank you, I took the week off work to make it a week long celebration.

      Thank you so much! Yes, she is gorgeous and her stock is particularly lovely. This is the first of the Good Smile Blythes that I've bought but if this is anything to go by they seem to be putting a lot of effort into these dolls. She was the perfect gift, although I did buy her for myself so if she wasn't I'd only have myself to blame!

    • @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis
      @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis  Рік тому

      Yes, it's only the issue with the hair which lets her down, the rest I can't fault at all. (Well, maybe making it easier to get her out if her box but I suppose rather than than she's so easy to get out that she accidently gets loose in transit and turns up damaged I suppose.)
      Hope you had a smashing birthday too. It's definitely surprising how many people have a birthday today as I already know of several others myself!

    Happiest birthday, March!! I think this is the first of the Good Smile Blythes that I've seen. I really do like her outfit, very turn-of-the-century travel in my mind. Also very weirdly I get a lot of Studio Ghibli influence? I could absolutely see her as a background character in Howl's Moving Castle. And the purple hair... I'm so biased, I love a fantasy hair color.
    Which are harder to open, do you think - these Good
    Smile Blythes or a Rainbow High doll? 🤔

    • @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis
      @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis  Рік тому +1

      Thank you so much! The outfit on this doll is so lovely, she gives me Gothic Victorian heroine or Victorian Lady Detective vibes, but can definitely see the whole Howl's Moving Castle thing too. And yes, once I saw that hair I couldn't resist - shame it's such a mess straight out of the box though.
      So I recently opened one of the newer Shadow High dolls in the new packaging and she was actually pretty easy to get out! Compared to this doll, I would rather try and get a RH/SH doll out as this felt like such a struggle. Although I guess with no second outfit for RH/SH dolls now it's bound to be a bit easier.

    Happy Birthday, March! How wonderful that you got yourself something you really want, and she's just gorgeous. I love the outfit - she's giving me Amelia Peabody vibes - now there's an exciting tale! We had suitcases like that when I was a kid - same color and everything. I still have one. I guess my mom let me take it when I moved out. So it was a treat to see your girls' case. Thanks for the birthday unboxing treat! Have another wonderful trip around the sun!

    • @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis
      @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis  Рік тому

      Thank you so much. I have to admit I did feel a bit wicked spending so much money on myself as I wouldn't normally do it but it is a big birthday so I thought it was now or never! I remember having an old suitcase when I was a child which was so battered and damaged that it was used to store my soft toys in and that had a handle just like this case, it's really weird what you remember and what can bring old memories back. And yes, I imagine Quintessential Journey investigating dangerous mysteries all over the world, including Amelia Peabody's beloved Egypt.

      You know what the price of these dolls are, so I knew if anyone was going to buy a stock Blythe for me it would probably be myself, as only I would be able to justify paying that much. I feel that she was worth it though and it'll be nice when I look back and can say that I got her when I was 50. (Obviously by then I will have had a tone of plastic surgery and be passing myself off as a teenager again.) I'm sure you'll be getting some great dolly gifts even if you don't get a Good Smile this time around.

    Happy Brthday March! What a beauty to be unboxing on your big day! I just knew you would make me want to spend money again! I didn't...yet!
    She's such a charming and refined lady! I am blown away by the clothes and accessories, her hat is exquisite! the lining in the coat! the suitcase! I love it all.
    Her hair colour is gorgeous, it's such a pain to have the greasy feel (I did see someone recommend spraying with dry shampoo, which makes sense to me, I haven't tested it yet though!)
    Her eyes are really striking, especially the dark ones, I don't think I've seen Stock eyes so dark before?
    I hope you had a wonderful Birthday time, and were spoiled appropriately! Look forward to seeing your next video as always! 😊

    • @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis
      @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis  Рік тому

      Thank you so much. YES, Quintessential Journey is stunning. I loved her pictures, I loved the colour of her hair, but she was pricey and I almost changed my mind about getting her several times if I'm honest. I only went ahead and got her because I felt that if I wasn't going to spoil myself for my 50th when was I going to do it! I'm so pleased I have her, she is so much nicer in "person" and all the little details that you wouldn't have seen in the pictures like the bloomers and the coat lining etc. She has a lovely Victorian Gothic vibe about her and I do love her in that hat. I have wondered about dry shampoo - as I used to use it a LOT when I had long hair and didn't want to wash it too much because of all the colours I had in it, but I'm not sure if it would help, I'd be worried about making the hair even stickier with it. Think I will have to spa her so fingers crossed on that - I still have two other stock Blythes which need it doing too! I love those dark eyes too, I think maybe 20 Years of Love also had a similar dark pair, but I could be wrong.

      I was so delighted with her. I have to admit I ummed and ahhed over getting her to start with, but so pleased that I got her now. She wasn't the cheapest release that's for sure but after seeing her and unboxing her etc I have to admit that she is as fabulous as I hoped she would be, moreso in fact. There is something a bit Nadja about her actually, and something a bit gothic about the doll's style. I did get a few other doll presents too, will maybe do a video on those or share them on a post on here later this week.

    Happy Birthday! This is a good doll to celebrate with. She's got some great outfit pieces and accessories. I think I like her more without the coat and hat. She seems cuter than other Blythes I've seen, I dunno if it's the lipstick or a Goodsmile thing or what, I'm no Blythe expert.

    • @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis
      @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis  Рік тому

      Thank you. Yes, she comes with some lovely pieces that's for sure. I like the coat but I do prefer her in her blouse and skirt, with or without the hat. I do wonder if it's the lips which give her a different look, as I've never had a Blythe with an upper lip a different colour to the bottom one before. Anyway, I'm delighted with her.

I'm not looking forward to washing the hair as it feels particularly horrible but the sooner it's done the better I think. And thank you, I had a nice relaxing birthday and I'm off work all week so getting plenty of naps in (which I needed even before hitting 600 months) and generally just enjoying having some free time.

    Happy Birthday! The graphics on the box are very nice, but the first thing I noticed was the nice embroidery on the waistline of her skirt. I love her lavender hair, the suitcase, the hair comb, not sure about the use of black for her stockings and mittens.

    • @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis
      @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis  Рік тому +1

      When I saw pictures of the box I have to admit that I could take it or leave it, but seeing the box in person I really appreciated the drawings more. The skirt really is a beautiful piece, I really love the shape of it and the details on the waistband are perfect. I'm probably not going to keep the black stockings and mittens on her very long (in fact I took the gloves off her just after taking the photographs) as I just worry about the staining. Also I think a different might have done better with the whole look anyway.
