Kenner released Blythe for only one year in 1972. In 2004 Ashton Drake Galleries began producing Blythe reproduction dolls in the likeness of the original 1972 Kenner Blythe dolls. They reproduced each of the 12 original Kenner outfits and named each doll accordingly. ADG stopped production of the dolls in 2007.
In June 2001, Cross World Connections (CWC) produced an 11 inch neo-Blythe doll, Parco Limited Edition, with the permission of Hasbro and the manufacturing help of Takara. In 2021, production was moved to Good Smile company but CWC still holds the Hasbro Blythe licensing, at least for Asia. Unsure of the new quality yet.
