Blythe dolls

When I was 5 or 6 years old I was given a porcelain doll with long brown locks for Christmas, or maybe it was for my birthday... I'm not for sure. I remember being excited to get her but that's as far as my interest with dolls went. I was more into creative artsy activities and definitely a Legos kind of girl. She sat propped in a rocking chair on the shelf until she made her way into a garage sale years later. I'm surprised she stayed as long as she did in my bedroom. To be honest, I was rather spooked out by her beady eyes staring at me in the middle of the night. So why am I now having an interest in Blythe dolls? For those that don't know, these dolls have very large eyes which definitely are eerie. Their captivating eyes are color changing from blue to green to orange to pink. The more I've thought about these mysteriously strange characters, I've realized that that is part of their attraction. The chances of me owning one are very slim, the price ranges for NEO's are from $80 to $3,000. Below are some great Blythe finds. Thanks to the following for letting me share them!
