Help[Opinions] and there's the Blythe dolls ...
in reply to a message by queenv
Which were very popular in the seventies and are still kind of popular with collectors now. One of my cousins had one, and I remember playing with it. The main gimmick of a Blythe doll was its eyes changed color. The eyes were made so when you pulled a string, they turned in their sockets to show a different color iris.
The colors were brown, blue, green, and purple. (?!)
I remember very clearly that the brown eyes on my cousin's doll looked very orange, and the purple ones were pink like a rabbit's eyes.
Her Crissy doll was much prettier.

That sounds....creepy.
I loved dolls as a kid and I still like some dolls, but to a degree I understand why some people think they're creepy. Some are.

I don't know that they were creepy, exactly, or just weird-looking and poorly manufactured. Cabbage Patch Kids, with those weird flat bodies and strangely-shaped heads, were also very weird.
Bratz dolls, with those psycho faces, were kind of creepy.
Crissy's gimmick was that you could make her hair grow and shorten. The one my cousin had was a redhead, which you didn't see often on dolls, and when you did it was almost always red yarn hair like Raggedy Ann and Andy or like a Cabbage Patch kid. Crissy was also very big, like the size of a small human toddler. SO she could wear real little-kid clothes too.
