The Iconic Dollcast

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, I’m taking you inside the Denver Doll & Toy Super Show! 🛍️ Come along for a vlog-style day as I break down my budget, wishlist, and expectations before hitting the floor—then I take you through some of the most unique vendors and standout finds of the show. As well as some classic and random favorites! Spoiler: Britney was nowhere to be found 👀 Barbie and Star Wars completely dominated—and American Girl was noticeably missing. Plus, I’m showing you what I bought, what I probably shouldn’t have bought, and the items I regrettably left behind! If you love dolls, collecting, and the thrill (and regret) of the hunt… this one’s for you.

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by Riccardo (@lonely.doll_) for a fun and honest conversation all about our doll journeys and the pieces that mean the most to us—especially when it comes to Barbie. We dive into what it’s really like collecting outside of the U.S., including the rising challenges collectors are facing worldwide and how tariffs have impacted the accessibility and pricing of dolls across the globe. We also get into the current state of the doll industry—why Monster High continues to be a major competitor to Barbie (and shouldn’t be underestimated), plus a little My Scene nostalgia and how the new releases compare to the originals. From the growing normalization of doll collecting to the creative (and sometimes painful) process of customizing and rerooting, we cover both the joy and the reality of the hobby. We also explore the evolving role of AI in the toy industry—what it could mean moving forward, for better or worse. Plus, we share our personal grail dolls, recent purchases, and so much more.

This week on Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by Sam (@samanthajeanv on TikTok) for a deep dive into all things American Girl —from nostalgic childhood memories to the brand’s modern evolution. We explore how our adult interests in history and storytelling connect back to the dolls and books we grew up with, and why those iconic American Girl catalogs (that every grandma somehow had lying around) made such a lasting impact. We also get into some very real character debates—like why Samantha Parkington might be one of the most misunderstood dolls in the lineup… and why Molly McIntire might actually deserve the “brat” title instead 👀 Plus, we dive into: • How the American Girl brand has shifted over the years—and what we think about where it is today • The importance of the original historical books vs. the newer adaptations • A spoiler-filled discussion on Raquel Reyes and why she feels like a step in the right direction • The brand’s approach to rereleases and the interesting choices they make to keep the historical line alive • Our picks for the most underrated and overrated dolls It’s nostalgic, a little controversial, and full of love for the stories and dolls that shaped us.

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by Bobby (@blytheandfriendz) for a deep dive into the whimsical, collectible world of Blythe dolls. Bobby shares his personal doll journey—including what it was like growing up with a passion that wasn’t always understood—and how he found his place within the doll community. Together, we explore the fascinating history of Blythe, from their original 1972 release by Kenner to their unexpected resurgence as a global collector favorite. I’ll be learning right alongside you as Bobby breaks down what makes Blythe dolls so unique—from their signature look to the artistry of customization and the passionate community behind them. We also get into the different companies that have taken on Blythe over the years, how to spot an authentic doll vs. a knockoff, and why getting your hands on a real Blythe today can be a bit more complicated than you might expect. Plus, we talk about Blythe’s surprising impact on pop culture, and why these dolls continue to captivate collectors around the world. If you’ve ever been curious about Blythe—or just love hearing about the deeper stories behind doll collecting—this episode is for you.

Chrissy and I also reflect on the impact of iconic dolls like 80s favorite Day to Night Barbie, the brilliance of the Superstar era, and the many positive aspects of Barbie that don’t always get the recognition they deserve.Plus, we chat about our personal collector spaces, where to find the best doll deals, and what it’s like gearing up for the big annual doll show right here in Denver.Whether you’re a lifelong collector or just rediscovering your love for dolls, this episode is all about holding onto your inner child—and celebrating it.

On this week’s episode of the Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by fellow collector Andrew ( @andrewstoyscollection on Instagram ) for a fun and honest conversation about what it really means to be a lifelong doll collector. Andrew shares what it was like growing up collecting dolls with supportive parents, how collectors deal with judgment from others, and the surprisingly real challenges of dating when you’re passionate about dolls. We also dive into the business side of collecting and why dolls can actually be a lucrative investment but also a financial stressor. From vintage porcelain dolls and Disney collectibles to Barbie, Monster High, horror-themed dolls, plushies, and more, Andrew truly collects a little bit of everything. Of course, we also talk about the thrill of the hunt—thrift store finds, the best places to track down rare dolls, and why searching for that next treasure is half the fun of collecting. Plus we get into social media in the doll world, grail dolls we’re still searching for, and even joke about why some collectors think they’re “too cool” to come on the podcast.
