you never know what's inside
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.
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.
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.
I wish you a Happy New Year 2012.
Today I’d like to show you now my Holiday Barbie Collection. She contains the first 10 Happy Holidays Barbie dolls from 1988 -1998, the Millennium Holiday Barbie dolls and continues from 2001 to 2011. The only dolls missing are the Happy Holidays Barbie 1997 (blonde hair), the Holiday Visions Barbie doll from 2003 and the Holiday 2004 Barbie doll in burgundy dress(Sears exclusive).
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.
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.
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.
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.
