On first hearing that there was going to be a Blythe collaboration doll for Hello Kitty’s birthday celebrations, many of us were buzzing with excitement. Then came the news that there was to be no lottery for international collectors – and not even any sales outside Japan. Wailing was heard across Australia (my part of it, at least).
Then we saw the first out-of-box pics. Jeepers. Many of us have become used to trimming uneven fringes, but on a limited edition doll, this kind of crazy wonky cut seems outrageous.
Her make up is nice enough, but as pastel and predictably bland as many of the new releases. And, is it me, or is her outfit as shiny as a supermarket Barbie’s? I guess the shoes are quite nice, but, overall, I find Ribonetta Wish a big disappointment. I suppose I have been saved me from the temptation to pay inflated ebay prices, but it’s always sad to see a disappointing new release Blythe.
I think I’m off to buy a Hello Kitty Barbie.

she doesnt do it for me. apart from the problems you’ve mentioned, i dont like her bow eyes. i like the colours of the chips, but the bow just keeps making me want to brush something out of her eye
im wanting nostalgic pop so much….

The Hello Kitty Barbie is fun. I was pretty disappointed in Ribonetta Wish too. Wouldn’t a Hello Kitty helmet and furry white boots have been a fun solution?

This girl never appealed to me the only thing I liked was the placement of her ponytails and those I can do myself to any of my girls!

I like her hair colour, but her makeup and outfit are just.. “blergh”!
Yeah, here in Brazil we have some people selling blythes and I saw one costing 1,300 “reais” (600 dolars I think). (Hmph, I’m really not gonna pay for that, buddy.)
I find Ribonetta a big disappointment too.

never a huge fan of hello kitty anyway (overloaded $2 shops put me off) so she didnt get a look in…If they bought out a MIFFY blythe – well then that would be another matter!
