In these days I’ll celebrate my 15th anniversary of Barbie collecting. I began to collect Barbie in the last days of November in 1996. The Irish Barbie from DOTW (Dolls of the World) was my first collector doll. I was happy to have her in my collection. She was followed by two other Barbie collector dolls in December. One of them was the Happy Holidays 1995 ( we bought her as Happy Holidays 1996 here in Germany) and the Indian Barbie from 1996. And these three dolls were only the begin of my collection.
More new rerooted Barbie dolls
Generation Girl Susie
I have always been a fan of the Generation Girl Series but until now I had none of them. Yesterday I got the first of my Generation Girls. She’s called Susie and the european Version of Generation Girl Tori. I like her since she reminds me on the fashion and the feeling from then. Obviously the Generation Girl Tori was made for the whole european market and not only for Spain and Portugal.
A modern Todd
About two months ago I found a Todd from the 1970s and now I have also a modern Todd from the 1990s. He is included in the Dream Wedding gift set from TRU from 1993.
Camp Fun Barbie Deluxe Set
Since I had no time to post new articles in the last weeks, I wanna show several new dolls that have arrived in the last weeks. The first one is the Camp Fun Barbie Deluxe set. I got it from another collector who bought her in Italy in the mid 1990s. I have never seen this set before and so I thought it could be interesting for other collectos.
Todd
Just finished a new reroot
Today I finished the Beauty Secrets Barbie doll that I found on the flea market several weeks ago. Her hair was in such a bad condition that I immediately decided to do a reroot. Last weekend I finally found the time to do it. So here is the result.
Phone Fun Courtney
To complete my favorite series from Skipper doll and her friend Courtney I was searching for the last Courtney to complete my collection. A few days ago I got an offer for the Courtney and I bought her. So here she comes… Phone Fun Courtney from 1995. Now she can phone Skipper. I bought the Skipper back in 1995 when she was available. I deboxed my Skipper but I never really played with her.
The Billion of Dreams
I was asked serveral weeks ago to show my new birthday present doll – the Billion of Dreams Barbie (not the Generation of Dreams Barbie). So here she comes in pictures. I waited for her more than 10 years.
Perparing a new reroot
Last Sunday I was on a flea market and found a Beatuy Secrets Barbie doll with a lot of missing hair. Today I prepared the head for new hair. I cut the existing hair and put the rest out with several tools. Here is the result. The head is bold. Next step ist waiting for the new hair to arrive.
