I’m glad that Barbie was not the number1 for budget collecting doll while I enjoy this brand. It’s too common for “doll” and think if someone if coming to your channel on doll collecting then they are wanting out of the box 💡. That’s one reason why I love your channel it introduces and expands on more unique and diverse styles of dolls; many of these are actually on my list to get one day. Your list was great. My favorite part was about nostalgic and childhood dolls.

@@MunecasPoupeesDolls I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Sindy on clearance. I got the Party themed blue haired Sindy and Bakery cafe purple haired doll for approximately £10 each. I was just about to get the Sindy with the afro but they had all sold out and I refuse to pay eBay prices. They are adorable. They make me giggle as they have such serious little faces! 😅

I agree with the bonding by cleaning the doll. I found an Italian omade doll in a thrift store. When I purchased it at $2, I thought I would clean her up and then resell her. I cleaned her up, and there she stands on one of my doll shelves. I also keep wondering if I collect because of missing dolls in my childhood, but since there are others in my family that collect dolls, like my grandmother, maybe that is more of an influence.
@MunecasPoupeesDolls4 ай бұрын
I bet it's a combination of the two - I know a lot of people who collect who also had parents/grandparents that collected and I think that definitely has an influence.

I started out collecting historical dolls as a child. I lived in England when I was young and would save my allowance and go to the local toy store and buy a doll. I had never seen a Barbie then, so when I came back to the states, my friends had them. I fell for them, so then it was Barbies. I went through a period where I thought only kids had dolls but as I got much older started collecting again. Now I have Barbies, Smart Dolls, Pasha, Rainbow High (just cause their so darn cute) AG and other artist dolls. A never ending passion.

As a kid, I was afraid to say that I wanted to get dolls. I was afraid to say that I liked anything girly. Now I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a grown man who loves stuff like Monster High, Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite. I would love to start collecting the dolls for these shows. I feel like it's because I want to fill in some kind of void, because I never got to collect dolls as a kid. Is that a bad reason to start collecting them?

What's really fun is the new MH you bought are brother and sister. Same family. Too bad you didn't find the new Catty Noir, she's a curvy doll. I've done the MTM curvy body swap. It was a little tricky because the Fashionista has flocked hair. I have an eighteen inch doll that I got from Canadian Tire. Harper's got the jointed soft body like the AG, and her hands and feet resemble them a lot too. Her hair is lovely and doesn't get static or tangles, and her face is very lively and sweet. Most of her wardrobe comes from Wal Mart. And she's a great size for days when I go into compulsive cuddle mode, so she's staying with me even though I'm liquidating most of the doll collection. The other eighteen inch doll I have is from Daisy Kingdom and looks a lot like Patsy. I still have to dress her, because she's a little plump for most eighteen inch doll clothes. And yup, I have dolls that I didn't get as a kid. Like Strawberry shortcake.
