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¢...
ReplyDeleteThis doll freaks me out with its huge eyes!
ReplyDeleteIts as if Tim Burton made a Bratz Dolls movie, and then they made a toy line of it.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of her.
ReplyDeleteThey look like Stepford Dolls. Very creepy!
ReplyDeleteI agree that these dolls are creepy....my first impression of them was that they looked rather alien or possessed.
