A History Of Blythe – From 1972 Kenner To Now
Blythe is an 11 1/2 inch tall fashion doll created by Kenner Toys in 1972. Her distinguishing feature is her large eyes that changed color using a pull string. Unfortunately, little girls of the day didn’t quite know what to make of her. Blythe was a bit ahead of her time and she was a spectacular flop.

Mooska Mini Fairy Tale Dolls From MGA Entertainment
