Yes, and it's one of our favourite things to do. Start with our free Find Your Doll Twin™ tool — answer a few questions (or upload a photo) and it matches you to the doll closest to your features and style. From there you can order her as-is or request small tweaks in the checkout notes. For a closer likeness, email a photo to [email protected] and we'll come back with an affordable proposal that won't break your budget — there's no obligation, and we love this kind of request. Browse our bestsellers or a full-set custom doll to find your starting point.

On a Premium Full Set custom doll you can choose:

• Skin tone — White, Natural, Tan, Dark and Black
• Hair — 10 colour families, plus length, and bangs or no bangs (browse by colour)
• Face expression — Cute, Pouty or Smiling
• Finish — Matte or Shiny (Cute + Matte is our bestselling pairing)
• Eyes — four colours come installed; you can also request a specific pair

Each doll is hand-assembled using official Takara parts and our own patented limbs for superior flexibility and posing, and she arrives complete with clothes, shoes and accessories — no batteries and no tools needed. Just describe what you'd love in the “Additional details” box at checkout, or message us first and we'll confirm what's possible. For more involved customizations, it's best to email us before ordering. The easiest way to picture it all is to open any doll's page and read her details.

Yes. Pick from 10 colour families — black, blonde, blue, brown, ginger, green, multi-colour, pink, purple and silver — in your preferred length, with bangs or without. Her hair is our proprietary Saran fibre: the original boxed Takara Blythe dolls used Kanekalon, which can be prone to frizz and tangling, so we switched to a premium Saran that's softer, glossier and holds up beautifully to brushing and restyling. Every order also includes a complimentary custom haircut before she ships — just tell us the look you want in the checkout notes. Want to restyle her yourself later? Here's our guide to changing Blythe doll hair, and you can pick up extra doll hair here.

Every doll arrives with four eye colours already installed that you switch between with her pull string, and we choose a set that flatters her look. If you have a particular colour in mind, you can request it — a specific requested eye colour (or a set of extra eye chips) is a small US $19.99 add-on. To add it, visit our add-on payment page, add the fee to your cart, and leave a quick comment at checkout telling us what you'd like. Not sure? A quick chat or email before you order is always welcome. You can also swap her eye chips yourself anytime with designs from our eye chip shop.

Five: White, Natural, Tan, Dark and Black. If you're after a particular warmth or a matte complexion, note it in your order and we'll match it as closely as our current materials allow.

It's the signature Blythe magic — and it needs no batteries and no tools. There's a small pull string at the back of her head. Each gentle pull rotates her eyes to the next of four colours and shifts her gaze (forward → right → forward → left). When she first arrives she'll be showing just one colour, so give the string a pull to meet all four. (Try the pair at the top of this page.)

Standard dolls have open eyes that change colour and gaze. A sleepy-eye upgrade adds a second cord that lowers her eyelids for a sleeping pose — you can add it to your doll directly here: Sleepy Eye Mechanism. While you're customizing, many collectors also add a pair of poseable gesture hands (US $19.99 — and if you're ordering several dolls, just ask and we'll often include the hands free). For anything more advanced, email us before ordering and we'll tell you exactly what's possible.

Those are her face expression and finish. Cute is wide-eyed and sweet, Pouty is soft and dreamy, Smiling is bright and cheerful. Matte gives a natural, skin-like surface that most of our collectors prefer; Shiny keeps the classic vinyl sheen. Cute + Matte is our most-loved combination if you'd like a recommendation.

Because each doll is made to order, customization is part of her 1–4 business-day processing before she ships. Fully bespoke, hand-sculpted pieces take longer — if that's what you're after, email us a photo or a brief and we'll give you a timeframe and an affordable proposal. During very busy periods we sometimes pause the most detailed custom requests; if so, we'll always tell you up front.

Reach out as soon as you can. Custom work begins quickly, so the sooner you message us the better the chance we can still adjust her. Send any changes to [email protected] or our live chat with your order number and we'll do our very best.

Welcome — it's a lovely world to step into. If you'd like a doll that's ready to display straight out of the box, browse our Premium Custom Full Set dolls — fully styled, dressed and shod, from $89.99. If you enjoy customizing yourself, our affordable nude custom dolls are the favourite starting point from $44.99; just add some clothes and shoes to complete her. Still unsure? Try the doll twin finder, peek at our bestsellers, or message us — we'll happily point you to the right one.

It's all in the size. A Neo Blythe is the classic 12-inch (30 cm) doll with the colour-changing eyes. A Middie is 8 inches (20 cm), and a Petite is a pocket-sized 4 inches (10 cm). Neo is where most collectors begin.

A nude custom doll (from $44.99) is priced for customizers — she comes without clothes or shoes so you can dress and style her your way. A Premium Full Set (from $89.99) arrives fully customized, dressed and ready to love out of the box, complete with clothes, shoes and accessories. Both are genuine, hand-assembled Blythe dolls built with official Takara parts and our patented flexible limbs — the difference is simply how finished she is when she reaches you.

OOAK means One Of A Kind — a doll hand-finished individually so there's never been one like her and never will be again. If a truly bespoke doll is what you're dreaming of, the simplest path is to email us a photo or your idea: we'll suggest an approach and an affordable price that fits your budget, rather than starting from a fixed figure. Most collectors find that a full-set custom doll with a few personal tweaks gets them exactly the one-of-a-kind feel they're after.

Our dolls are custom, hand-assembled creations built using official Takara parts together with our own patented flexible limbs, then individually customized and finished by our artisans — hair, face, eyes and outfit. So rather than a sealed factory-boxed release, you're getting a one-of-a-kind doll personalised the way you'd like, at collector-friendly prices. Every doll in our photos is a real, physical doll we've made and photographed ourselves — never AI.

It depends on how much customization goes into her. Our nude custom dolls start at $44.99, and our fully-styled Premium Full Set dolls start at $89.99 — dressed, shod and ready to display. Every price already includes free worldwide shipping, handling and any border fees, so the price you see is the price you pay. Dreaming of something fully bespoke? Email us a photo and we'll propose an affordable way to make it.

Each doll is hand-assembled from premium, non-toxic materials, individually customized and photographed, and shipped free worldwide with duties pre-paid — that craftsmanship and service is built into the price. We also keep prices close to wholesale for our customizer and collector community. There's a fuller explanation on our blog: why Blythe dolls are expensive.

We do — current promo codes live on our Coupons page. To use one: add items to your cart, go to checkout, enter the code in the “Have a coupon?” box and click Apply. Your code includes our free shipping, so there's nothing extra to pay for delivery. Subscribers and followers also hear about giveaways first.

You can pay securely by major credit and debit card, or through PayPal. We never store your card number — payment is handled directly by Stripe and PayPal, two of the most trusted processors in the world.

It's usually something small. Check that your card isn't expired, that the billing details match your bank's records, and that any confirmation step from your bank is completed. If it still won't go through, your bank can tell you why in a moment — or simply try another card or PayPal at checkout. If you're stuck, message us and we'll help you complete the order.

Yes. Our checkout is encrypted and TrustedSite-certified, and your payment is protected. You can verify our certification here. We never store card or PIN numbers — everything is sent securely to Stripe or PayPal.

Yes to both. Prices can be shown in your currency — including US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Swiss Franc, UAE Dirham and Saudi Riyal. You can also change the site language at any time, and you're always welcome to message us in your own language — we'll happily help.

It depends on the doll. Premium Full Set dolls arrive fully dressed and ready to display. Nude custom dolls come without an outfit so you can style them yourself — we'd recommend adding a little clothing and a pair of shoes. Each product page tells you exactly what's included.

We do — a whole wardrobe of clothes, shoes and accessories sized for Blythe. They're a lovely way to refresh a doll you already own.

Our range is mainly designed for our female dolls, so boys' options are limited right now. If you have something specific in mind, send us a message and we'll let you know what's possible.

Hand-wash gently in cool water with a little mild soap, reshape, and lay flat to air-dry. Take extra care with denim or dark fabrics, as deep dyes can sometimes transfer.

Almost certainly — we ship to over 200 countries, and it's completely free. A very small number of destinations can't be reached by our carriers; if yours is one of them we'll tell you right away and sort out a refund or alternative. If you're unsure, just ask us before ordering.

Free, everywhere in the world, with no minimum order. We negotiate bulk shipping rates and pre-pay customs and border fees so you can enjoy your Blythe without any surprise charges at the door.

Because she's made to order, allow 1–4 business days for processing, then choose the delivery that suits you:

• Free Shipping — 8–18 days, on every order
• Free Gift Package Set — 8–18 days, US $14.99 — your doll arrives gift-boxed in a white display box with a doll sleeping bag and doll face mask
• Express Shipping — 5–12 days, US $79.99

Every option is fully trackable. You can see more on our Shipping & Delivery page.

Yes — choose Express Shipping at checkout for a quicker, prioritised delivery in 5–12 days for US $79.99 (after the usual 1–4 business-day processing). If you'd like her gift-wrapped, the Free Gift Package Set option (US $14.99) sends her in a white display box with a sleeping bag and face mask.

Don't worry — your order is almost always safely placed. Two quick things to check: first, look in your spam or promotions folder (Yahoo, Hotmail and AOL filters are the usual culprits) and add [email protected] to your contacts so future updates land in your inbox. Second, if you think you may have mistyped your email at checkout, message us with your name and the card used and we'll find your order and correct it. A Gmail address tends to be the most reliable for delivery updates.

Head to our Tracking page, enter your tracking number and click Search. Tracking can take a few days to begin updating online (3–10 days for free shipping, 3–5 for expedited), which is completely normal for a fresh order.

Almost never. A “Not Found” result simply means the carrier hasn't scanned your parcel into their online system yet — common in the first days after ordering. Give it a little time and it'll update. We process orders 7 days a week, though carriers may not scan on weekends or holidays. If it still hasn't moved after the expected window, message us and we'll chase it for you.

Every doll is custom-made to order, so we're not able to accept change-of-mind returns once she's in production — much like any made-to-order or personalised piece. What you're always protected by is our Buyer Protection: if your order doesn't arrive, or arrives not as described, we'll make it right. When a refund is due, it's typically processed within 1–4 business days. Full details live on our Refund Policy page, and our team is here to resolve any concern personally.

Yes, if you're quick. Because custom production begins soon after you order, we can accept cancellations within one hour of placing your order. Message [email protected] or live chat right away with your order number and we'll take care of it. After that hour she may already be in production, but reach out anyway and we'll do everything we can.

It's our promise that you can shop with confidence. You're covered if your item doesn't arrive within the time we've promised, or if what you receive isn't as described. If either happens, reach out and we'll put it right.

Every doll is a real, physical, hand-assembled piece — built with official Takara parts and our own patented flexible limbs, and finished by our artisans from her eyes to her hair. We photograph every doll ourselves, so the doll in the listing is the kind of doll you'll receive. We do not use AI to make our dolls, and none of the product photos on our site are AI-generated — strictly. There's nothing artificial about the craftsmanship that goes into her. We've been making Blythe dolls by hand since 2000.

They're made from premium, odourless, non-toxic materials and are suitable for ages 3 and up. As they're collectible-quality, a little gentle care keeps them looking their best.

We've been creating custom Blythe dolls for over 26 years, serving collectors in 150+ countries, and our work has been featured by Forbes, the BBC, The Guardian and Fox — you can see the coverage on our Press page. Blythe is even loved by celebrities. Our checkout is TrustedSite-certified and secured, every doll is handmade and individually photographed, and friendly support is here whenever you need us. You can also read real customer reviews.

Yes to both. Add a Personalized Handwritten Gift Message so your doll arrives with a heartfelt note, and our Premium Gift Package Set (US $14.99) sends her gift-boxed in a white display box with a doll sleeping bag and doll face mask. Shopping for a present? Everything gift-related lives in our Gifting section — including a handy travel carrier case.

We do — a This Is Blythe Gift Certificate lets your recipient choose their own perfect doll. Ideal when you want to give the joy of picking. You'll find it alongside our other gifting options.

We're here for you on live chat, by email at [email protected], and by phone at +1 (940) 400-0348. When you open the chat it'll ask for your name and email, then connect you to the next available member of our team — real people, not AI agents. You're welcome to write in your own language, and you can change the site language too. We aim to reply quickly and personally — usually within the hour by email.

Our DIY doll-making kit gives you the doll base to customize from scratch — so it comes without hair or clothes, ready for you to add your own. It's perfect if you love the creative side of Blythe. Pair it with pieces from our accessories, eye chip, hair and clothing shops to bring her to life.

Yes — we wrap her head to protect the forehead and keep her hair neat in transit. Nothing to worry about; just gently remove it after unboxing.

Keep her out of direct sunlight and away from moisture and heat to protect her finish. Brush her hair gently with a soft doll brush or wide-tooth comb, working from the ends up. A soft, dry cloth is all she needs for dusting. One handy tip: when you're changing her outfit, gently remove her hands first — it protects the intricate detailing and keeps her looking perfect. Want to restyle her hair? Follow our hair-changing guide, and our blog is full of styling and care ideas.

Most little mishaps — a limb that's popped off, an eye string that needs attention — are easily sorted, and we're glad to talk you through it. Send a quick photo to [email protected] or our live chat and we'll guide you to the simplest fix, or help with replacement parts where needed (you can also browse hands and other parts directly).
