"Sweet charity and a supercute toy

Form's Blythe Doll
WHAT: Blythe's charity fashion dolls"

In the New Yorker...

"The robots at Toy Tokyo are not the biggest-selling items. The dolls are-Blythe, for example, a foot-tall doll with a big head and big eyes. Junko Matsuno, the manager at Toy Tokyo, says that the store is divided into sections and that each section has its collectors. The Blythe section is a good one for beginners, she says, because the price is more reasonable-a hundred dollars."
