New TOPSHOP Exclusive "Creamy Cherry Sweetheart" Neo Blythe Doll Announced!
This girl has a melon soda bag!
Another TOPSHOP exclusive doll has been announced, introducing Creamy Cherry Sweetheart! Not only did we get the illustration of Creamy Cherry Sweetheart, but Junko Wong also shared the first photographs of Bijou Brilliant on her Instagram! Hopefully, that means we will be getting the official photos along with the final specs from Junie Moon later this week!
I had a hunch that we would get double Blythe doll news this week because Junie Moon will be taking a week off for Golden Week, which is a popular holiday in Japan. They probably wanted to drop this news before the holidays to keep international Blythe doll collectors on their toes like late last year when they released double news of Jade Garden and #LOVE♡JAYLAH right before they took their holiday/New Year break.

My first thoughts
I will start off by saying Creamy Cherry Sweetheart’s stock outfit is sooooo adorable! I mean that melon soda bag is everything! Her lolita-style dress and headpiece is too cute! I can’t wait to see pictures of that green gingham and cream soda printed fabric irl!
The strong perm means she’s going to have curly hair, think “Aurella Amphitrite” and “Twenty Years of Love” hair. I’m not sure if the spring green eyeshadow, plus all the green details on the dress, will suit the light green eye color they chose for her. I guess we will have to wait to see what Creamy Cherry Sweetheart looks like in person, an illustration can only show us so much.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of blonde-haired dolls because I think they look kind of boring or plain. I do have some blonde-haired dolls on my Blythe wishlist but it’s mainly due to the stock clothing they come with. I would rather see a fantasy-hair Blythe or even a dark-haired Blythe over a blonde-haired doll because I think they have so many blonde dolls already.
However, you think that they would be hesitant to release another blonde-haired with green eyes doll after releasing “Donna Doughnut” last year. Creamy Cherry Sweetheart is very similar to Donna Doughnut as they both are food-themed, have blonde hair, green eyeshadow, and special green eyes. Don’t get me wrong, I think Donna’s stock was cute too but the hair, makeup, and eyes didn’t do it for me and I think a lot of Blythe collectors agreed since she’s still available on the Junie Moon site, meaning that she didn’t sell well.
