Above is the very first Blythe Doll I ever saw and it was total love at first sight! I just had to have one and so I read all about Bonnie Burton who started the Weird Ebay Finds site had a great collection of... well, weird things that she found on Ebay, including an auburn Kenner Blythe doll that she won for a mere $18! She featured Blythe under her Creepy Dolls section on her website.
I was on the hunt for vintage 1972 Kenner Blythe dolls so I first went to Ebay but the dolls were much more than $18! Try $500 and up. I had to find other ways to obtain the dolls.
The first Blythe that I ever owned was an original KB red head with bangs! I actually explained how I found the doll and for how much on my last blog entry.
Looks like I found out about the Yahoo Blythe Kenner Group because of Bonnie's site, it was over 20 years ago, so no wonder I forgot. It's too bad that the group is no more. Now a days everything is just pictures and sometimes a little blurb. Nothing substantial if you ask me.
The This is Blythe forum is gone too. I joined right when it opened up but didn't really post there much at first. I was still on the Yahoo Blythe group mostly and then LiveJournal.There is a This Is Blythe website in it's place but I heard it's a scam site so please be careful if you ever go on there and want to purchase something. I would not recommend it so please avoid it.
Blythe Kingdom (formerly Plastic Paradise) is still around but it's so quiet on there now, not much traffic at all. I check in every now and then but it's not like it was before.I hope you enjoyed my post!
Love,
