    Blythe Takes Centre Stage!!

    Send us Fan Mail This week we're taking a break from our schedule because there is simply too much happening in the world of Blythe! The excitement surrounding the 25th Anniversary celebrations continues, with the long-awaited anniversary girls illustrations finally being released. We chat about the details we noticed, and share our first impressions as collectors.  We also take a closer look at the gorgeous new photoshoot for Mimi La La Nayan. From the styling to the presentation, we discuss what we loved, what surprised us, and whether this latest release has won us over. The biggest talking point, however, has to be the announcement of the 50 finalists in the 25th Anniversary Neo Blythe Beauty Contest. With so many incredible entries from talented artists around the globe, we couldn't wait to dive in and talk about the creativity,  and just how difficult the judges' job must be. It's been one of the busiest times in recent Blythe history, and with so many exciting announcements arriving one after another, it's enough to make even the most seasoned collector's head spin! Join us as we chat through all the latest Blythe news, share our thoughts, and celebrate everything that's making this anniversary year so special.

    Easter Chit Chat!!

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to La Dolly Dispatch for a relaxed catch-up episode!! With Easter here, we’re sharing what we’ve got planned for the long weekend— that’s a bit of rest, a bit of crafting, or maybe even some dolly-themed fun. It’s also the perfect time for a refresh, so we chat about simple ways to tidy up, restyle, and give our Blythe dolls a little extra love—think wardrobe edits, hair touch-ups, and reorganising those ever-growing collections. Of course, we couldn’t go without checking in on what’s happening in the wider Blythe community. From new releases to little bits of news and chatter, we touch on what’s caught our eye lately and what we’re excited about. And as always, it wouldn’t be a catch-up without a bit of real-life sprinkled in. We share what’s been happening in our own worlds lately—the everyday moments, the busy bits, and everything in between. It’s a cosy, chatty episode—like sitting down with friends for a good catch-up. 💕 Enjoy those eggs!!
