I have received a number of emails about Poppy and where to get Blythe dolls from so I thought I would put a quick explanation here for easy reference - and also let me start with the over rider that I am NO expert this is just what I have found in my research so I hope it saves some of you some time.
I was really lucky in that a friend was in Japan and bought Poppy for me -from Kiddyland in Harajuku - but if you happen to be in Japan or have a friend going apparently they are available in a number of good toy stores
Other than that ebay is the way to go - just put in a search blythe
The release dates for dolls and the way each release has limited numbers seems like there are only certain times when they are available in any online stores. Much more detail about the release of each doll is available here
It seems to be cheaper to buy from overseas than in Aus even with shipping costs
If you want to familiarise yourself with the history of Blythe dolls go here
Also check this is blythe - there is a forum there with heaps of info - even a buying and selling section
There are many OOAK dolls out there - One of a Kind dolls - who have been customised - they are usually much more expensive than the NRFB - never removed from the box - dolls. Even more expensive again are the vintage 1972 dolls.
I have blog just for Poppy - with links for favourite Etsy sellers and some of her adventures just for fun
Ngaire while not a dolly owner, is obsessed and has set up a blog for all things Blythe- awesome links
Mel has a blog for Ruby her daughters doll who they are waiting not so patiently for
and if that is not enough there is also re- ment - which is the little bits and pieces you often see photographed with Blythe - its a whole new obsession all in itself - more details here and a whole re ment addict flickr gorup here
Also released each month and quickly become collectors items they are basically minature sets 1:6 scale. Good places to purchase are ebay and etsy - Just search re ment - or re-ment or rement
Poppy may or may not have a couple of sets winging their way to her soon ;)
Enjoy!!!
