Have a question on Blythe dolls?

Question

When I look up "Blythe Dolls" online I get Diva Starz dolls. There are these dolls called Diva Starz and they are similar to Blythe. Diva Starz launched in 2003 (i think) I got one for my little cousin. I wanted to know if Kenner (creater of Blythe) or the Blythe company has made Diva Starz, its driving me crazy.

Answer 1

Blythe was relesead in 1972 from Kenner an american company but blythe do not sold so much,childs was frightened by her ^^ so the production stopped one year later in 1973.

Hasbro Takara starts its own production in 2000.

Actually you will find even 3 companies that produced blythe

Ashton Drake Gallieres-repro of the vintage style and dress

Hasbro Takara CWC

and the vintage dolls made by Kenner company.

Answer 2

No, Diva Starz were made by Mattel, Blythe is made by Takara - in association with Hasbro, who are Mattel's main rivals in the USA market.

After the success of Blythe and the Japanese style of big eyed big head dolls, a lot of other dolls have copied the style - Diva Starz are just one of the more obvious.
