Collection Cards



When you buy your Blythe, have you ever realized that there is a collection card included in the box? Have you ever been curious that some versions of Blythe have the collection card included in the box but some versions don’t have a collection card? And some cards have a letter (A-Z) but some have only the picture of the Blythe? So, if you want the collection card, how do you know which version of Blythe has the collection.
Here is the easiest way to check that the collection card is included in the box or not. Mostly, you can check on the detail on the box. For example, Neo Blythe “Enchanted Petal” has an information about what is included in the set such as “The set includes: Doll (Superior),stand, cape, boots, skirt, apron, blouses, dress, bracelet, bloomers and collection card.” Luckily, there is a letter “U” on the collection card.
Why I said you are lucky? Because not every card has a letter. If you want to collect the collection card with the letter, you need to buy a Blythe doll which was produced before year 2006, for example, Pow Wow Poncho. The new version of Blythe dolls since 2006, have no details about the collection card. For instance, the Neo-Blythe “Natasha Moore” details that appears on the box are “The set includes: Doll, coat, dress, tights, gloves, bloomers, necklace, earrings, bag, sunglasses, shoes, head accessory and stand". As you can see there is no detail about the collection card but once you buy this version, you will find the card which is included in the set.

The resson why I love blythe..

I first saw Blythe in the Books, named Love my Blythe. I was very curious about this dolls. She looked lovely and curiously at the same time. (NEO) Blythe have colored changing eyes, which include blue, green, yellow and pink. It was interesting to me. Barbie cannot change her eyes.

I went back home and tried to search more on Blythe doll. I found many pictures of her. There are many versions of Blythe which is released almost every two months. Each version has their own style, such as make up, hair style, clothes and accessories.

Moreover, Blythe can be customized by the owner, such as change eyes clips, do the new make up, change the hair style and sew some clothes. Moreover, today many hobbists also take pictures of their Blythe in a variety of settings, showing their sewing and customization skill. Blythe is stylish,smart and sophisticated, and reflecting the dream of her owners.



The history of Blythe :

Original Blythe was manufactures by Kenner and designed by Marvin glass & Association in 1972. Ten years later after Marvin Glass death, Kenner was brought out by Tonka Toys. In the mid 1980s Tonka Toys was bought out by Hasbro.


At the first introducing of Blythe in 1972, it was not very successful because most kids were afraid of the large eyes which can change from green to pink to blue and to orange by pulling the drawstring at the back of Blythe’s head. Therefore, Blythe was out of the market after one year because of her scary big eyes.


Then in 1997, a friend of Gina Garan introduced Blythe to her. Gina Garan works as video and TV producer. She brought one of her Blythe to wherever she went on her travel and took many photos. In December 1999, Gina showed her photos to Junko Wong at the opening of exhibition for CWC international artists in New York. Junko took these photos and made a visual model for her printed media for the next summer.


This is Blythe photos, by Gina Garan, was published in 2000. There were many campaigns that used Blythe as the presenter. There were commercial and print Media. Blythe become popular. Many people know about Blythe. The price of Blythe jumped up form $35 to $ 350 on EBay or even in Japan Auction.


In June 2001, Neo Blythe was produced by CWC and manufactured by Takara come in the market at the same time with a photo exhibition by Gina Garan. She came to join the launch of Neo-blythe in Japan.


Blythe becomes popular not only in Japan, but also in Thailand, Hong Kong and Korea.
