Welcome back to Dolls to the Wall. This is the first edition of Sweet 16, the new split version of Dolls to the Wall, with only news for 16" doll collectors. I've included a thorough recap of all these companies' news from our website, The Fashion Doll Review, as well as some personal collecting news. I'm hoping to be able to shorten the podcasts somewhat in the future, by doing them weekly, instead of waiting all month to do one at a time.
Here are some of the links I refer to in this edition:

I've decided to split up the podcast into doll-specific podcasts. It will make the podcast run more smoothly and much less overwhelming to put together. Welcome to the first attempt at the BJD-related themed one.
I know it's been a month since the last podcast, so please bear with me.
This theme's podcast features the love/hate relationship, Alice-themed and other specials from DollHeart, Doll-Zone and more, several how-to features, and a new segment that's being introduced on the BJDs for Beginner's blog: the Affordable BJD.
Additionally, we'll be featuring a Peak's Woods BJD of the week. I know you all can't wait for that.
Here are the links I've referenced this week:

This is our first themed podcast, and addresses sticking to your budget. Yes, you can have a budget for your doll collecting habit. But can you stick to it? That's the $64,000 question.
I'll share my epic failure with you, as well as my hopeful and optimistic solution with you. And no, it doesn't actually involve cutting off my finger.

Welcome to the Fashion Doll Review's first ever podcast. This hobby-themed podcast is oriented to fashion doll collectors of Barbie, Fashion Royalty (Integrity Toys), and Tonner Doll collectors. Editor Alison Rasmussen provides dolly-related news of the week, sales, and events, and not too seriously.
If you like my podcast, feel free to link to it and tell your friends. I'd love to hear your comments. Though, I would rather not hear it if you're going to tell me a) I say "um" too much, or b) I sound like I'm six. I know.
;)
