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 United States by toy company Kenner (later purchased by Hasbro).

[1] Blythe was created in the early seventies by designer Allison Katzman at Marvin Glass and Associates and bought and produced in the United States in 1972 by the now-defunct toy company Kenner.

In 1997, New York TV and video producer Gina Garan was given a 1972 Kenner Blythe by a friend and began using it to practice her photographic skills.

In 1999, she was introduced to Junko Wong of Cross World Connections (CWC) by artist and illustrator, Jeffrey Fulvimari.

Junko Wong brought Blythe to the attention of Parco, a client of CWC as a possible virtual model for promotion.

Blythe was used in a television advertising campaign by Parco, the fashion branch of Seibu Department Stores in Japan and was an instant hit.

In spring 2009, Alexander McQueen launched a fashion line for Target with an ad campaign featuring Blythe dolls.

In 2022 Good Smile Company became the manufacturer of Blythe dolls under the production helm of Cross World Connections.

The difference in the EBL mold were important internal changes to make the eye mechanism more resistant.

[3] Blythe stars as a protagonist in the Littlest Pet Shop Presents animated shorts that were produced by Cosmic Toast Studios[4] and released online by Hasbro (voice unknown).

Another incarnation of the character, named Blythe Baxter (voiced by Ashleigh Ball), stars in the 2012 Littlest Pet Shop animated television series,[5] as well as its related shorts (not to be confused with the Cosmic Toast shorts), that were produced by Hasbro Studios and DHX Media.
