Join me for an incredible extra-long conversation with one of the toy industry’s most accomplished designers, Stefanie Eskander, whose remarkable career has spanned more than 45 years.

Beginning as a children’s illustrator before transitioning into toy design, Stefanie has worked for some of the biggest names in the business, including Mattel, Hasbro, Tonka, Fisher-Price, Play Along Toys, and Small World Toys. Her creative fingerprints can be found on some of the most beloved toys and dolls of the last four decades, including Moonglow (Rainbow Brite), Popples, Jem and the Holograms, Sweetie Pops, Maxie, MoonDreamers, Tonka Trucks, Cabbage Patch Kids, Skydancers, and so much more.

Stefanie also takes us behind the scenes of one of the most fascinating eras in toy history—working at Hasbro during the legendary Jem and the Holograms vs. Barbie and the Rockers rivalry. We discuss what it was really like designing toys at major companies, juggling multiple product lines in different stages of development, and navigating the creative and corporate challenges that come with bringing iconic toys to life.

We also dive into why toy and doll designers so rarely receive public recognition, the strict confidentiality surrounding unreleased projects, and the reality that many toys can spend months—or even years—in development before never making it to store shelves. Finally, we explore how the toy industry has evolved over the decades and what it’s really like to build a career creating the toys that shaped generations.

This is a fascinating conversation filled with incredible stories, behind-the-scenes history, and insights you won’t hear anywhere else. Whether you’re a lifelong collector, toy enthusiast, or simply curious about how your favorite childhood toys came to life, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

This episode also marks the finale of this year’s Summer Session! Thank you so much for spending your summer with me and all of my incredible guests. The Iconic Dollcast will return this fall with an all-new lineup of episodes, interviews, and deep dives into the world of dolls, toys, and pop culture. I can’t wait to share what’s next—see you this fall!

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by Dr. Erick DuPree for one of the most thoughtful conversations we’ve ever had about what doll collecting really means. We go far beyond the dolls themselves to explore identity, memory, history, and the deeply personal connections that make this hobby so meaningful.

We discuss Erick’s own journey with dolls growing up, why doll collecting is so often misunderstood as an “immature” hobby, and why male collectors frequently face even greater criticism. We also challenge the common assumption that collecting is always about healing childhood trauma and explore how every collector brings something unique to the hobby.

Together, we dive into how our collections often reveal more about who we are than we realize, why doll collectors can sometimes become defensive, the unique language and culture that exists within collecting communities, and the important role dolls play in preserving history. We also discuss how doll companies can continue expanding diversity and representation, Erick’s published books on dolls and doll collecting, and so much more.

Whether you’ve been collecting for decades or have never understood why someone would, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the psychology, culture, and lasting importance of doll collecting.

Celebrity dolls have been a part of pop culture for nearly a century, and in this episode I’m counting down my Top 10 favorite celebrity dolls in my personal collection!

Before the countdown, we take a quick look back at the history of celebrity dolls, beginning with the iconic Shirley Temple dolls of the 1930s and how celebrity dolls evolved into the collectibles we know today.

From Lindsay Lohan, Brandy, Hilary Duff, and a few unexpected picks (yes… Fran Fine from The Nanny makes the list!), to pop culture icons like the Spice Girls and Britney Spears, I’m sharing the dolls that mean the most to me, why I love them, and what makes each one so special.

I also talk about how valuable many of these dolls have become over the years, whether their quality still holds up by today’s standards, and finish things off with an unboxing of Mattel’s brand-new Miley Cyrus doll!

Whether you’re a longtime doll collector, a pop culture fan, or just feeling nostalgic, I hope you enjoy this countdown!

This may be the most random Doll Check-In yet.

This week I’m talking about American Girl’s 40th Anniversary releases (so far), the newly revealed Girl of the Year, JAKKS Pacific’s upcoming Super Villain (and Supergirl?) dolls, and why I passed on the new Padmé Amidala collector doll. I’ll also discuss the new Barbie Deluxe Rare Find doll featuring the classic Superstar face mold and ask the important question: why is the new He-Man doll so ridiculously attractive?

My main topic, though, is KATSEYE. Why are there still no KATSEYE dolls on the market? I break down the group’s potential as a doll brand, the very obvious parallels between KATSEYE and the Spice Girls, and why I think next year would be the perfect time for the Spice Girls dolls to make a comeback.

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by fellow American Girl enthusiast Blake Changnon (@blake.changnon) for a heartfelt conversation about the dolls, books, and characters that have stayed with us throughout our lives.

Blake shares his personal journey with American Girl and how the brand helped him navigate difficult challenges growing up, offering comfort, inspiration, and a sense of belonging when he needed it most. Together, we discuss the lasting impact of American Girl’s stories, the historical characters that resonate most with us, and why these dolls continue to matter decades after their debut.

We rank favorite dolls, books, and outfits, debate which character is the most iconic in the brand’s history, and reflect on the memories these beloved characters have given us. We also dive into the realities of being adult doll collectors—especially as men—and why collecting is more accepted today than ever before, while still carrying certain stigmas and misconceptions.

Along the way, we talk about how doll collecting influences friendships and relationships, how American Girl has evolved through changing times and fan criticism, and our thoughts on the brand-new The Making of American Girl book.

Whether you grew up with these characters or discovered them later in life, this episode is a celebration of the stories, history, and community that make American Girl so special.

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, HAPPY PRIDE 🌈 — I’m joined by Peter Andrew Danzig for a conversation all about queer representation in dolls… and why it’s so often hidden in plain sight. From queer-coded fashion dolls to the rare few that were actually marketed as openly gay, we explore the complicated history of sexuality, masculinity, censorship, and identity in the toy aisle.

We dive into the controversy surrounding dolls inspired by Elton John and Keith Haring, the legacy of Gay Bob, Magic Earring Ken, RuPaul, Trixie Mattel and so much more — including how even American Girl has faced controversy over LGBTQ+ representation. We also discuss why male dolls still struggle with body diversity and how characters like Ken have been heavily queer coded for decades without companies ever fully acknowledging it.

From camp to controversy, coded marketing to genuine inclusivity, this episode explores what queer representation in dolls has looked like in the past — and what we hope it could become in the future.

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by Madeline and Malachi (@all.my.plastic.children) for the first-ever couple interview on the show—and it’s one of the most unique conversations we’ve had yet. Brought together through a shared love of dolls, toys, and miniature worlds, the two open up about their relationship, their collecting journeys, and the very eclectic tastes that make their collection stand out.

We talk about what truly makes dolls so special, why some people are fascinated by them while others seem uncomfortable, and whether the fear surrounding dolls is really just fear of the unknown. We also discuss the realities of collecting as a couple, the assumptions often made about male doll collectors, and the social dynamics that come with sharing your passion online.

Plus—we dive deep into the incredible world of SMART DOLLS: where they came from, what makes them different, and why they’ve developed such a devoted fanbase. Madeline and Malachi also get candid about social media notoriety, online bullying, and the highs and lows of being visible in the collector community

This week on the Iconic Dollcast I’m joined by doll and toy designer Cimmi (@thedollhead) for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the toy industry.

Cinni worked for Play Along, Mattel, Hasbro and more — helping create dolls tied to major pop culture icons including Hannah Montana, The Cheetah Girls, Taylor Swift and many other unforgettable toy lines from the 90s and 2000s.

We discuss how she worked her way up in the industry, the reality of designing dolls and toys to fit strict budgets, and what it was like seeing her creations hit store shelves for the very first time. We also talk about her work on brands like Cabbage Patch Kids, Polly Pocket, Baby Alive and My Little Pony, along with the evolution of toy design from hand sculpting to 3D printing and scanning.

If you’ve ever wondered how dolls actually get made or what it really takes to build a career in toy design, this episode is packed with nostalgia, insider stories and behind-the-scenes insight.

This week on the Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by Jenna (@heyyalldolls) for a fun and nostalgic conversation all about the joy of doll collecting and the memories attached to it. We dive into the dolls from our childhoods that somehow disappeared from memory until we rediscovered them years later—and why those finds can feel so emotional and special.

We also talk about the luxury (and chaos) of having a dedicated doll room, how the perception of adult doll collecting has evolved over the years, and the huge role social media has played in bringing collectors together from all over the world. There’s something really special about finally “finding your people” in the doll community, and we get into how that sense of connection has changed the hobby for both of us.

Of course, we couldn’t skip American Girl. We discuss our favorite historicals, the best places to hunt for dolls, why there are far more adult AG collectors than people realize, and why restoring and refurbishing American Girl dolls is weirdly therapeutic and satisfying. We also share some of our best thrift store finds, thoughts on the newer modern AG dolls, and plenty more doll collector rambling along the way.

This week on The Iconic Dollcast

I’m joined by Paige (@thenostalgiatoybox) for a deep dive into the toys that defined our childhoods—from the late 90s into the early 2000s. We’re talking everything from Strawberry Shortcake to Polly Pocket, Barbie to American Girl—and the unforgettable playsets (yes… the toy food!!) that made these worlds feel so real.

We get into Paige’s personal collection growing up, what made these toys so special, and how the quality compares to what we’re seeing on shelves today. Plus, we break down the essential toys of the era, shout out some seriously underrated gems, and revisit icons like Doodle Bears, Furby, and Water Babies.

And of course—we couldn’t ignore the massive nostalgia wave taking over toy aisles right now. Is it living up to the hype?

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.

This week on The Iconic Dollcast, I’m joined by fellow Colorado doll collector Chrissy—born and raised in Boulder, just like me—for a conversation that celebrates everything we love about Barbie and the magic of collecting.From the joy, whimsey, and pure FUN that dolls bring into our lives, to the deeper meaning behind collecting as a form of creative expression (and even resistance to conformity), this episode dives into why Barbie continues to matter—now more than ever.We talk all things creativity—from styling and photography to crafting and bargain hunting—and how curiosity and community keep this hobby alive and thriving. 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.

We dive into his latest release, Doll Couture: Red Carpet Edition, the newest installment in his incredible book series celebrating creative story telling and high-fashion doll design.

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.

If you love dolls, toy collecting, and honest conversations about the hobby we all love, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Season 5 of Iconic Dollcast is officially here — and we’re kicking things off with something a little different.

Today’s episode is a genuine, unedited, audio-only catch-up with me. No guests. No deep dive. Just a real, honest conversation about what I’ve been up to since the start of the year, what’s changed, and what’s coming next for the podcast.

Thank you for listening and sticking with me through the years. It truly means everything.

New episodes begin dropping March 8th… and Season 5 is just getting started. 💫

This week’s Iconic Doll Mini Deep Dive is all about the many Hilary Duff dolls released between 2002 and 2007.From the cultural phenomenon of Lizzie McGuire to her reign as a 2000s teen pop superstar, Hilary Duff had one of the most fascinating career trajectories of the era. But did her dolls ever truly capture her likeness… or her impact?In this episode, I break down the different doll releases, the companies behind them, the design choices, and why — in my opinion — the dolls never quite did her justice. We’re talking face sculpts, era accuracy, branding, and the missed opportunities that could have made this line truly iconic.From Disney Channel royalty to global pop star… and even Barbie-adjacent moments — this is a nostalgic deep dive you don’t want to miss.

This week, we’re traveling back to 1976 to spotlight the icon, the legend — Cher ! ✨

Released by Mego , these fashion dolls were created to capitalize on the massive success of The Sonny and Cher Show 📺🌟

From multiple doll releases to an extensive wardrobe designed by the legendary Bob Mackie 👗🔥—plus several playsets—these dolls were pure 1970s glamour.

But all that sparkle came at a cost… 💔 Due to long-term design flaws, finding a Cher doll today in truly pristine condition can be very expensive 💸

We’re breaking down the history, the fashion, the flaws, and why these dolls remain such a sought-after collector piece. Don’t miss it! 🎤✨

This week I’m joined by the incredible Chadmarvelous (@chadvarvelous )to talk all about The Thrill of Dolls! ✨
We dive into the world of collecting favorites like Barbie, My Little Pony, Monster High, Ever After High, and Disney dolls. From the magic of doll hair 💇‍♀️ to the thrill of the thrift hunt 🛍️, we’re covering it all.
Chad shares tips on finding the best spots to score dolls, curating content for different platforms, and why consistency matters in the fast-paced world of social media 📱. We also discuss the pandemic’s role in the spike of doll collecting, whether scalpers actually help keep the doll market alive, and of course—why Ariel 🧜‍♀️ seems to reign as so many collectors’ favorite princess.
