La Dolly Dispatch
Welcome La Dolly Dispatch! A lighthearted bi-weekly chat between two good friends from Melbourne that have been collecting Blythe dolls for over 10 years. The Blythe Doll was created by Kenner in 1972. The doll was only in circulation for 12 months but her appeal has lasted 50 years, find out why this quirky retro doll has so much appeal to the collector, the curious and artistic subcultures. The girls will dispatch their knowledge and give you a first hand insight to the world of Blythe Dolls and collecting as they know it. Join them if you dare…..

This week on La Dolly Dispatch, we continue our journey through Blythe history as we dive into the colourful and creative world of 2017 — a year packed with bold concepts, imaginative storytelling, and some truly unforgettable releases.
Beyond the dolls themselves, 2017 was also an exciting time for the broader community. We talk about new store openings that gave collectors special places to connect, browse, and celebrate their love of Blythe, along with beautiful book releases and inspiring art exhibitions that highlighted the creativity surrounding the hobby. It was a year where the Blythe world felt especially alive with collaboration and artistic energy.
To round things out, Annie brings a thoughtful dolly collecting question to the table — one that might have you reflecting on your own collection, your motivations, and what truly brings you joy as a collector.
Whether you’ve been collecting since 2017 or you’re discovering these dolls for the first time, this episode is a nostalgic and inspiring look back at a year full of colour, creativity, and heart. 💕
Dolly hugs
