One of the first Collector Barbie dolls

Today I wanna show you a rare Barbie doll that I found in January. She’ s considered to be one of the first Barbie dolls to be made for the adult collectors. She’ s called Feelin’ Groovy Barbie and was designed by Billy Boy (a fashion designer) in 1986. This doll has the popular Steffie-head mold.

Another sweet Kelly Giftset

I got a  lot of positive feedback for my last blog article. Now I wanna show you another favorite of my Kelly Giftsets that I found in 2009. This time it’s the Kelly Pretty Kitty Giftset. It was available in 2002 and it’s a Target Exclusive.  To me it’s interesting since I never saw such a Giftset before. When I bought my Kellys here in the mid 1990s pets weren’t available for them.

Kelly Dress Up Friends set

I’m back. My PC broke down in January but now I have new one and I have new dolls to talk about 😉
Finally after 10 years I found this set recently for a low price. Ten years ago it costed approximately 50 Euros in Germany. I thought the price was too expensive to buy the set and so I waited several years. The set is interesting to me since I collect the early Kelly dolls and it’s a special TRU edition.

Kebaya Barbie -Greetings from Malaysia

Last Sunday I had the chance to get 2 Kebaya Barbie dolls for a low price. On Wednesday the dolls arrived here.
I like them because they are very exotic. They were produced for the Asian market and available in Malaysia.

Greetings from Asia

At my first convention visit in Hamburg, Germany last May I bought the Chinese New Year 2009 doll. I had seen her before but she was not available for a good price before. She was especially made for the asian market. In Germany she was hard to find. I didn’t expect her to be available on a convention.  I’m sorry for the pics but the box reflected the light in such a bad way that there was merely chance to take good pics. I didn’t want to debox her for the occasion of taking pictures.

A second impression of my collection

Now I want you to show several of my Collector Barbie dolls. You will see two different series , the “Spirit series” exclusively made for Toys’r’us and the Classical Goddess series. Both were released in the beginning of this decade. I bought my Goddess series in 2005 and the other Barbie dolls in 2009 except the Spirit of the water. She was also bought in 2005.
