Real, verified feedback from collectors worldwide: customer photos, unboxing videos, press features and thousands of buyer ratings, all in one place. We don’t curate or edit, this is what people actually say about This Is Blythe.
Welcome to the official This Is Blythe reviews hub. This Is Blythe has been the world’s leading custom Blythe doll maker since 2000 – over 26 years of hand-customizing Neo Blythe, Middie and Petite dolls for collectors worldwide. On this page you’ll find every kind of feedback we’ve received: customer photo testimonials, verified buyer reviews from our website and our Etsy storefront, features in major media like Forbes, BBC, The Guardian, The New Yorker and Vogue Italia, plus independent video and blog reviews from dedicated Blythe collectors.
This Is Blythe has been the world’s leading custom Blythe doll workshop since 2000 – over 26 years of hand-customizing Neo Blythe, Middie Blythe and Petite Blythe dolls for collectors in more than 100 countries. We are the original online destination for Blythe enthusiasts, and the largest specialist workshop of our kind in the industry.
What we do. Every doll is hand-crafted by trained artisans: a hand-painted face-up, premium custom-rooted hair, eye chips with color-changing mechanisms, eyelashes and a signature outfit chosen to match each doll’s personality. Customers choose a finished design from thousands of options, and each doll is then hand-made to order – one at a time, no machines, no mass production. Beyond complete dolls we also stock thousands of clothing pieces, shoes, accessories, replacement parts and DIY kits for collectors who like to customize their own.
What sets us apart. Our dolls are designed in North America – where our team develops new faces, looks and colour palettes digitally – then hand-crafted using premium parts and materials sourced from leading suppliers in Japan and South Korea, long considered the gold standard in the industry. Finished dolls ship worldwide from our fulfilment hubs in Singapore and Hong Kong, which lets us deliver to virtually every country on earth – including markets where other Blythe sellers can’t reach due to logistics, customs restrictions or trade limitations.
What customers say. Three themes appear consistently across This Is Blythe reviews: outstanding doll quality, personal customer service and reliable global shipping. Our on-site review system at thisisblythe.com holds 8,536+ verified reviews from real buyers – and we never curate, edit or hide negative feedback.

Absolutely stunning! The hair is so soft and thick and the eye colors are gorgeous. No unpleasant smell. Quality is better than expected. I will definitely buy more Blythes to add to my collection!
I can’t say enough good things about this merchant. If I could give a twenty star rating, I would. Jenna made sure I got everything I wanted and more, especially quality and phenomenal customer service.
Absolutely gorgeous doll, I’m so happy with her! I just can’t believe how cool she is. The photo does not convey her beauty. Thank you so much, came just in time for my daughter’s birthday. I definitely recommend them to everyone.
Perfection +++ 🌟 This gorgeous girl arrived in mint condition, each part securely wrapped. Once unpacked the doll was in perfect condition, even the hair! Amazing quality, so pleased I found this seller. I recommend 100% without hesitation.
I’m new to Blythes and Jenna helped me through from the start. Never tired of my incessant questions. She figured out exactly what I was looking for and made it happen. Thank you Jenna and your team, my new custom doll has a good home here.
This is a fantastic doll that I would recommend to anyone! I made an unboxing review video for my 1st EVER Blythe doll, so excited! Watch the video →
We are so pleased to have our 3rd beautiful Blythe doll! She was held up with the global shipping problem during the pandemic. Jenna helped us track her down and get her home. Thank you so much.
It’s really easy to get lost in time when you’re doing something you enjoy, and I’m already obsessed with this gorgeous doll. I 100% recommend their website. Read the full review →

View product →One thing that sets This Is Blythe apart in reviews and press coverage is our global reach. We ship handcrafted custom Blythe dolls to more than 100 countries – including markets where Asian-based Blythe sellers can’t deliver due to logistics, customs restrictions or trade limitations. If you’re a collector anywhere in the world, we ship to you.
Our advantage comes from a truly global operation. Every doll is designed in North America, where our team develops new concepts, faces and colour palettes digitally. We then source premium parts and materials from Japan and South Korea – long considered the best in the industry – and our skilled artisans hand-craft and finish each doll before it ships from our fulfilment hubs in Singapore and Hong Kong. This footprint is what lets us deliver where no other Blythe specialist can.
