My Kit along with most Kit's I've seen have deep blue eyes, the same color as Nellie's. However the most recent catalogue pics(on page 26-27) show Kit with pale blue eyes, the same color as Kirsten, Lindsey and Elizabeth. Have they changed the color of Kit's eyes from deep blue to pale blue? Or was this just a camera angle thing?

I don't know, but its really wierd! [img]eek.gif[/img] She looks really freaky.....I hope they aren't changing them to that! I am just glad that I have a Kit with deep blue eyes.
Wow--I just looked, and you're right on the two-page spread, her eyes do look light. On the page with her School stuff and the Meet page, they look "normal."

The other catalog pictures of Kit look like the exact same pictures used in the old catalogs, so the other pics of her in the catalog might just be old pictures. Another thing to consider... [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
are some of the pics of the other historicals older pics? I can't really tell.
I never considered the eye color and Jessie ate my catalog today(!), but right away, I did not care for that spread. I think the pictures of Kit are just terrible. I think they make her look rather ugly. [img]confused.gif[/img]
Odd. My 8 year old looked at the pics the other day & commented that Kit's eyes looked different than her's did. I didn't really pay any attention to it, but you know, she was right. She's one sharp cookie. [img]wink.gif[/img] Wonder what the real story is behind it? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

I noticed this too! I sincerely hope it is just weird lighting or angles because I thought she looked terrible with those light blue eyes. [img]eek.gif[/img] Maybe somebody here will get a new Kit doll and they can tell us what her eye color is.
On one of my other boards someone recently posted they sent Kit to the doll hospital and she came back with a new head with different color eyes. It sounds likely to me they are changing them from that.
Really? Oh No! I love my Kit's deep blue eyes! Another unneccessary change made by Mattel. I guess it's cheaper to make all the blue eyes the same. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
Wow--very interesting. If someone gets to AGP they should look at the Kit dolls (in the boxes, not on display).
I did think that the spread could be new pictures, whereas the others would have been old pics (using older dolls). Very odd!
I thought she did look strange. The eyes in the new pics are definitely lighter. If they are changing, then I am glad we have an older Kit.
DD daughters friend just ordered a new Kit doll last week it should be here this weekend.. Ill let you know what color the eyes turn out to be.. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]confused.gif[/img]
Oh no! I hope they aren't changing her eye color, because I haven't gotten her yet. I guess I'll have to purchase an older one off of ebay if they decided to change them. Why would they do such a thing? [img]confused.gif[/img]
It seems especially strange that they would change Kit since she is a Mattel developed doll. It seems like our beloved PM would be the ones facing these changes.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My guess would be that they are having a hard time finding a supplier for that specific color and HAD to change it. (if they indeed are)Quote:

angie
Is anyone else dying to find out if they changed Kit's eyes? Is there anyone that can check the Kit doll's at AGP to see or ask someone?
IF Mattel IS changing her eye color I am sooooo hunting them down with a meat hammer!!!(lol j/k inside joke.)
But seriously.
WHY MATTEL,WHY!?!?!? I LOVE Kit, I don't have her(Yet...muhahaha!) and the deep blue eyes are adorable! And maybe her eyes just look different in the catalogs... we may never know.

I just got a brand new Kit doll within the last couple of months, and her eyes are a deep aquamarine, not pale at all. I think it's just the camera angles, or the bright lighting needed for the photographs that are making here eyes appear lighter. I had an older Kit doll with Silver Eye, (which is why I got a new doll) and I got the replacement before I sent the old one in, and their eyes were the same color.
Just a thought - if they are changing the eye color it might not show up in new Kits for awhile. They would likely sell most of their stock of older Kit dolls with the darker blue eyes before the newer ones would be sent out. Still hoping it's just a catalog flaw, though. [img]confused.gif[/img]
I'll try to get some scoop and check out all the display Kits on Saturday. If she is being changed, I'll throw a fit, okay?
I am so glad Kit was one of my first AG's then! I think her eyes are so lovely and actually prefer them to Kirsten/Elizabeth's pale blue ones. If they have to change for supply reasons, why not at least do a new shade of blue instead of using the one already being used on two other historicals?
