So there are these fake Blythe Dolls on the market. I'd heard a little about them a while ago. I think I saw a pic posted on someone's flickr acount but I didn't understand exactly what I was looking at.

There are two models, CCE and believe it or not "Blybe." Ha! Anyway I was just surfing around the flickr Blythe circuit and have heard some really good things about them from Blythe experts who oughta know and some really bad things too. As you can see from the pics, they are really close on Blythe doll face mold. On first look I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. But the difference is there. The quality of the hair looks terrible for the most part, the eyes holes are different and the eyes or eye chips in some instances are smaller or duller in color. I'm not crazy about the bodies but I do like the that arms raise up and swivel around. The other good thing is the price.

These gals run from as low as 24 bucks on ebay! That's almost worth it just to see what they look like in person and possibly customize them to your liking. But I've also heard that some have arrived in terrible condition, that arms and legs fall off or one is shorter than the other. How awful.

But I dunno. I'm curious. True, their outfits look terribly cheesy but some of them look really cute too! Well, stay tuned while I continue to do some more research. I'd like to know as much about this as possible before I decide to buy a Blythe fake.
