Answering FAQ's About Doll Collecting

[@harmonyspath3886]

Ah, I remember how I got into the hobby! I'm really into fashion, and at the time I watched a lot of get ready with me videos. While I was looking for those, I found Andrea's get ready with me video of her dolls, and that was it, my fate was sealed, I needed one.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Andrea is the reason I bought a minifee in the first place! Her videos are so relaxing and wonderful to watch 😍 thank you for watching this one 💜

[@verogutie1523]

I love how organized you are with your collections. You’ve inspired me to start organizing. 😍😍😍😍

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you! I find organizing to be a great thing to do when you're stuck at home 😉

@@MunecasPoupeesDolls I'll take ure advise to make an inventory list of my dolls...

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

@@Gracitagouv that's always a good idea , it isn't always fun to do but very helpful to have the list there 💜

Excellent questions and answers! I have been using a small makeup brush to dust off the faces and hair of my dolls.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Those work really well too, especially around the eyes. Sometimes it can be a little harder to get the duster into the fine features of the face. Thank you for watching and for the tip 💜

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

I keep my dolls under a towel so it protects them from dust and light. I'd use a puffer like they use on camera lenses to blow the dust off the surface of the dolls and then put nylon from tights (pantyhose do you call them there) which will collect dust but stop the hover sucking in accessories from close to the dolls.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I love the idea of one of those puffers! We have one here at the house, I'll have to try it sometime. Thanks for the tips 💜

[@sineadcooper4270]

That’s how I started collecting kewpie those damn face just melt my heart!!!

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Aren't they so sweet? I have a few kewpies too 🥰

[@luvlyleo2836]

Yes! That dust is a nightmare!🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s all your fault I’ve fallen for BJDs and with every video a new doll 😂. I’m eyeing a Benny doll now ❤️

[@haruhi7745]

Thanks for the tips!

[@nikkif1384]

I would love to find out how you find out about new dolls, doll series, new brands, ect. I need to get mine organized too.

[@kevincook8888]

Very good video ... informative, I always enjoy your vids ... good job.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you so much for watching 💜

[@bestrnlynzeep]

I thought your answer about buying as an investment or not made a lot of sense. Great answer!

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you! It's a tough one to answer 💜

[@Irkandia42]

Thanks for answering my questions 👍🏼

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you for suggesting them and for watching 💜

[@brittanypreston8849]

Neat information. Reminded me that I need to do dusting. Will you show anymore American Girl dolls? I know you said Josefina and Molly are small, but you could combine them in one video. I love seeing other people's American Girl collections.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I will yes, possibly this weekend. Their stuff is a bit more scattered because I don't have a trunk for either one of them, but I was thinking of doing shorter videos showing different bits of their collections. I want to do my AGOT collection too. Thank you for watching 💜

[@kpixiewings_Kelley]

Lol....your hysterical! The Saudi prince comments 🤣😅🤣

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Can you imagine the doll museum I would open with $400 million???? 😂😂😂

[@09pauliitaa]

Love this video and your collection! 😍 Do you have all your dolls on display? Or do you store some of them? I'm always curious about how other doll collectors deal with storage and what their tricks are. You have a lovely doll room ❤

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Thank you! I have a big pile of project dolls that are not on display right now, once I get them cleaned up I have no clue where I'm going to put them, but I plan to do something with them 😂

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

And they are stored in Ikea drawers that are in other Ikea cabinets in my room.

[@09pauliitaa]

Thank you ❤

[@plainsarahjane1466]

Is there merit in altering a doll or her accessories for better display purposes? I have a doll with sunglasses who's lenses aren't see through. I was thinking of carving them out and replacing them with tinted plastic.

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

My take on it is that if you will get better enjoyment out of it by altering it, I definitely say alter it 💜💜

So many beautiful dolls and great job with their care and organization! I wondered if you ever heard of the artist, Lila Loire? I found her name on the back of a jointed and strung porcelain doll, I bought the doll a few years back from an antique store. If you would like to see a picture of her, my instagram is antiqueknut. I only bring her up out of interest, I was going through a box of dolls and was happy to see her again. The dress is one that I made, she had nothing on when I bought her. Always enjoying your inspirational content,

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I haven't heard of her before but I'm going to go google and see what I can find!

[@fabricdragon]

i had seen a BJD at a convention i was vending at oh... gosh almost 10 years ago? maybe more? but the doll was *interesting* but not... it wasnt "my doll" it was just kind of neat? and when i asked about the cost i flinched. fast forward to quarantine... i was watching face ups of monster high and barbie knock offs? (which are so neat) and i saw a face up on a BJD... and i was stunned because it happened to be more my taste. and then i talked to a friend who wants to make clothes for BJDs ... and i started looking at "common sizes" and *stumbled* over some artists and brands that were ... I MUST HAVE THAT !!!! and here we are

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

Welcome 💜

[@gloriaross9777]

Are the ethnic (black or Asian) Paola Reina dolls more desireable for collectors?

[@ACarewornSketchbook]

I know this is an older video, but do you by chance remember the model of the Ikea cabinets you use in this video? I'm currently storing my Blythe collection on a bookcase and I'd much rather have something with a door like your collection. Thanks in advance if you choose to respond! Love your videos.

Hi! I have a F.A.O. Schwartz Gotz 18" American girl doll Claudia and I'd like to sell her but I have never sold a doll before and I don't really know if collectors would be interested in her. I got her as a 16 year old and never really played with her so she is in a very good condition, in a box that I think is her original one and with all her accessories. Do you think people would be interested in getting this doll and loving her? I have her safe but I think it's a pity how I don't get to enjoy her and she doesn't really get to be loved :(

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

I would just list her on eBay and see how it goes, Gotz dolls can be very popular!

[@kimmyhalley4115]

@@MunecasPoupeesDolls Thanks for the reply! Actually, I've sold a good amount of dolls and clothes on facebook, but I've never sold on eBay and I'm a little scared to do so. But I'll look into it! Hopefully I can safely rehome this doll

Are harmony or Emily dolls on Facebook legit
