Heike's Blythe Dolls 2020




Blythe is a fashion doll, about 28 cm (11 inch) tall, with an oversized head and large eyes that change color with the pull of a string.
It was created in 1972 and was initially only sold for one year in the USA by toy company Kenner (later purchased by Hasbro).
In 2000 the photo book "This is Blythe"  was published and in 2001 the Japanese toy company Takara began producing new editions of Blythe dolls.
There is a network of hobbyists who customize the doll for resale and create clothing and shoes for Blythe.
Enthusiasts share photographs of their work and other types of dolls on the Internet.
At this blog I want to share my love for the Blythe doll with you.
I have a lot of fun to take photos of my dolls and to show them here.
