I'm not sure if you guys remember me blogging about this amazing new show on Travel Channel called Toy Hunters?
Well soon after that I discovered Jordan on Facebook and started asking
him about the show and if Kenner Blythes would be featured. He was so
awesome and answered me, it's all on this blog, so I continued to
support him and his show.
Out of the blue he sends me a
note this past summer stating that he had something for my Blythe
collection?!!! I was so very pleasantly surprised!!! I had no idea
that he would do that because what I did I did because I truly and
greatly enjoyed the show. I did not look for anything in return.
HOWEVER, it wasn't like I was gonna refuse it, you know what I'm sayin'
;) He contacted me again and explained that what he had was a former
Kenner employee's Kenner Blythe file copy.
"I am
sending you the "blythe bible" that I got from a former Kenner
employee. It is the file that belonged to the original inventor of
Blythe.It contains all hand written notes and drawings, and tons of
designs and cost sheets for non produced outfits. In addition, it has a
list of all the names they considered as well." Jordan Hembrough. I
was so floored!
At this point I have written Hasbro
because without their permission I can not do a whole lot. I was
thinking of writing about it with lots of pictures, including as much
information as possible and it would be appropriately titled "Blythe
Bible". I also would love it if CWC Hasbro would even consider
producing the items that were never released.
I am
hoping that I can go ahead with permission from Hasbro and share this
information with you all in book form because I know that it would
greatly improve our Blythe knowledge in the community for many more
years to come!
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and all your support!
Love,

UPDATE:
I was contacted by Hasbro Legal this morning and the paralegal wanted
me to send them my request directly to them so that they could
"expedite" the process!!! I will keep you all posted :D Thanks so much
to those that supported me in this matter (:
Update - Still no word back yet! Hopefully there will be soon. I asked if I could do up a nice blog instead but I did not get the go ahead. I was thinking of going to a Blythe or Toy Event and displaying it there.
Good luck to yo, Hope they will respond to you
