What are Kenner Blythe dolls?

Blythe was released in 1972 by Kenner Toys. Her distinguishing features are her overly-large head and her eye mechanism in which her eye colour can be changed by means of a pull-string. She was, at the time, not a popular item and the line was discontinued in 1973.

Dolls were available in three hair colours (blonde, brunette, redhead). There were also twelve outfits, four wildly-coloured wigs (strawberry, blueberry, lemon, and lime) with matching sunglasses, and a wardrobe case.

How is Blythe marked?
