Tomocast 19: Dolls!


12:00 PM on 02.23.2011

Hey everybody, it's time for your biweekly audio/toy fix. Here comes Tomocast!

This episode I'm joined by Colette Bennett, Jennifer Johnston and Brigitte Coovert to talk about the world of dolls. I'm not talking about Barbies here (thought they do get their nod). We go in-depth on ball-jointed dolls, Dollfies and more, as well as give new collectors some tips on how to handle their babies. We also talk about the "creepy" factor and how the collectors deal with people's misguided opinions.

Show notes and additional links are located after the jump. Go ahead and download the episode, visit our Mevio page and enjoy!

I always enjoy the podcast (but I like the usual intro music much better).
I took another look at Beatrice, and she's actually on the large body. Sorry about that! She's pretty modestly dressed for a Dollfie Dream and I had trouble figuring it out XD

Also Doll in Mind's Minimee service (where they make dolls that look like a picture you provide them) is closed right now to fulfill backed up orders, but they will open again in late March.
Yay, I got a Colette shout out kind of! XD

Great podcast guys! It was very interesting to hear takes from three pretty different kind of doll collectors. I'm interested to know though what you guys think of Dollfie collectors calling their dolls 'daughters' now though, but I guess I have a question for the next Doll podcast!
I was surprised we didn't touch on that but yeah! Demand a Dollcast II and I'll be there :D
I thought Leah was going to be in on this podcast too?

She grilled me about cleaning Dollfie Dream stains for the occasion. XD
@PlasticFantastic

There were some technical difficulties, so Leah unfortunately couldn't be on this ep. With any luck she'll be on the next one!

@Jax

Remember to ask that one the next time. Sounds like a great discussion piece.
Did you guys stop uploading them to the Zune Marketplace? Last episode and this one didn't download and I have to do it myself.
@Psycho Soldier

We're moving old episodes onto a new hosting service, so I have to update everything on iTunes and Zune. Eventually it'll be back up, but it may take a little bit. For now, the links will be posted here and eventually it'll be on auto-download on iTunes and le Zune!
