Manufactured by Kenner in 1972, the original Blythe (now known as "vintage") was produced for only one year and then was retired because of poor sales. For 28 years, Blythe was a curiosity that only doll collectors were interested in. Then, in late 2000, she made her comeback in Japan when CWC produced a charming TV commercial for Parco department store starring Blythe. After the TV spotlight she became an overnight sensation in Japan and Asia. The Blythe Belle figures are 3" PVC replica figures of the larger Blythe doll. They come blind boxed so you don't know which figure you will get! It's a surprise! |
