Blythe
Blythe is a fashion doll, about 28 cm (11 inch) tall, with an oversized head and large eyes that change colour with the pull of a string. It was created in 1972 and was initially only sold for one year in the United States by toy company Kenner (later purchased by Hasbro).
In 2001 the Japanese toy company Takara began producing new editions of Neo Blythe dolls. Soon after, a network of hobbyists who customise the doll for their own enjoyment or for resale. They also create clothing and shoes for Neo Blythe and many enthusiasts share photographs of their work on the Internet.
In 2021 the last Takara Neo Blythe was produced. In 2022 Good Smile Company became the manufacturer of Blythe dolls under the production helm of Cross World Connections.
