[edit] popularity

question about how it got popular: i've always thought that it's Gina that made Blythe popular by photoshooting them... :/ could i be wrong ? Mint greentea 08:05, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)


[edit] takara/cwc bias

I think that the article is really written with the bias on CWC/Takara blythes, assuming that they're THE blythe dolls when they're simply new versions. For example, under Bodies, "The bodies of blythes varies depending on the time of the release. Earlier releases uses the BL body, which has some disadvantages. For example, the legs do not bend as well as the later releases." Nowhere it is said that this is for CWC/Takara Blythes only. People not knowing about Blythes at all could think that the earlier releases would mean the 1972 Kenner blythes. /Helena (not registered, I am not good enough at editing wiki, as well as English language being my 3rd language.

[edit] Biased Punctuation

First of all, the intro is longer than the rest of the article. Also, I noticed this: "One panelist asked if she could take a doll home!" Exclamation points? Really?65.254.200.19 22:19, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronouns

"She" is an "it." It's creepy that the authors of this article use the former. (Momus 01:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Details?

This sounds like it could be an interesting article... But where are the details? How do the eyes change colour? Why do people saw open their heads? What makes these dolls 'special' to collectors? This is just a fact dump at the moment; needs a lot more clarity and information to make it more interesting 123.2.92.233 (talk) 08:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Measurements

The measurements of Blythe: 4.17-2.76-3.89 (in inches) or 106-70-99 (in mm). The measurements of Petit Blythe: 1.77-1.18-16.5 (in inches) or 45-30-42 (in mm).

This is incorrect. The full-sized Blythe is considerably taller than 4 inches, and the petite Blythe is considerably taller than two inches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.160.123 (talk) 13:31, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] biased towards Takara/CWC

It is incorrect to say "There are two types of Blythe dolls: the 28cm (1/6th scale) "NEO" and the 11.2 cm "Petit Blythe." Only NEO Blythes have colour-changing eyes...". The next paragraph says "A smaller Kubrick version of Blythe also exists." So obviously there are three types of Blythe doll. But when you read closer, there are actually more types of Blythe doll because there is the Kenner and Ashton Drake Galleries versions as well.

There is no mention of the different brands they were produced as in 1972, Kenner, Tomy Ai-Ai, or Toltoys.

Anyway, I was hoping to find an explanation of the different Ashton Drake models and the history behind the ADG line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starfish73 (talk • contribs) 01:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
