By the end of the last year I bought the Beauty Haunted Ghost Barbie. She belongs to a Fantasy series. In the last years lots of Fantasy Barbie dolls were produced. I didn’t expect her to be sold out that quickly. I read somewhere that she also won a doll Award but I don’t know in which category. Let’s hope that the chains don’t change somehow in the next years and develop a green colour. Unfortunately several Barbie dolls from the last decade have developed green ears. I hope that it will work out better this time.
Barbie as George Washington
Barbie as George Washington is for me one of the craziest Barbie dolls ever created. Originally she was made as exclusive doll for the US Toy Chain FAO Schwarz and sold there in 1997. I don’t know the exact retail price but I estimate that she was not cheap. Anyways, I always liked this crazy doll and I bought her several months ago. She’s inspired by the 18th century fashion and style. I like especially the pink coat and the black hat of a military uniform. To mention here is also that she is the only Barbie doll to wear knee breeches and I know a lot of Barbie dolls.
Hope you enjoy the pics 🙂
Holiday Treasures Barbie – the trio
I’m proud to present you my collection of Holiday Treasure Barbie dolls. The were made in 1999,2000 and 2001.
The one with the blue dress is from 2001. She’s the last one from the series and she was a Collector’s Club Exclusive back then. I think you hardly can see it but the glitter on her white skirt sparkles and creates a very state occasion.
The one with red and gold dress is from 1999. She was the first one in this series. I really like her hairdo.
The one with the red and green dress is from 2000. She has gold ornaments on her dress.
My X-mas present …
Happy New Year!!!
Merry Christmas!!
Festival Barbie
Birthday presents
Today I’ d like to show you my birthday presents. I got the Minang Barbie doll from my boyfriend and the Moja Barbie doll. The Minang Barbie doll was made for the Indonesian market and she’s hard to find in Europe. The box says that she wears a special outfit worn by the women of Sumatera. The doll comes with two minature plates.
Luckily I was able to find the Moja Barbie doll, too. She had been on my wish list for at least 10 years. The Designer Byron Lars created her in 2001. I always liked her but she’s not very often to find. She has a very crazy hairdo from which I thought it was made from the dolls braids.
Noir et Blanc Barbie
Today I wanna show you another one of my favorite Barbie dolls. She’ s called Noir et Blanc Barbie. In 2003 when she was released, she was a Barbie Club exclusive. Fortunately she was also availabe at several Barbie dealers and so I got the chance to buy her. I like her extraordinary black and white dress. She also wears a black and a white shoe. I wish more such extraordinary Barbie dolls would be available today.
Gold Jubilee Barbie
Finally after at least 10 years I was able to find the Gold Jubilee Barbie in Europe. She was made for the 35th Anniversary of Barbie in 1994. Only 7000 Barbie dolls were made for the market. Back then she was a very limited doll. She looks very typical for a Barbie doll for the 1990s dolls. She has rooted eyelashes and a very opulent dress. She also has a very extraoridinary box. I’m so happy to have her in my collection now.
