Palitoy & Toltoys

The Kenner Company licensed Palitoy in England and Toltoys in Australia to sell Blythe dolls in their respective countries. The dolls packaging and outfits appear the same but have small differences when compared to their American Kenner counterparts.

The logo and company listed are different compared to the American Kenner boxes. There is also a note that these dolls were made under license to Kenner (who owned the rights to Blythe), by Toltoys. Unlike most Kenner boxes, the names of the outfits and wig sets are not listed below each photo.
