It's amazing how this very Mod little doll was virtually unknown until 25 years after she was cancelled when it became a pop culture phenom thanks to the photography of Gina Garan. This is the Kenner catalog from 1972 and Blythe only gets a single page (click on it for a larger view) now she's a full blown icon.
Google the Blythe story one of these days, it's a good read.

I know, deep down, that I will someday find one of these at a garage sale for 25¢...
This doll freaks me out with its huge eyes!
Its as if Tim Burton made a Bratz Dolls movie, and then they made a toy line of it.
Never heard of her.
They look like Stepford Dolls. Very creepy!
I agree that these dolls are creepy....my first impression of them was that they looked rather alien or possessed.
