Show me your Barbies!

[Rachel-Eyes]

I've been thinking lately how badly I sort of want to collect Barbie. I definitely can't afford to right now, especially with the Fair coming up, but I do love looking at pictures of other people's dolls and collections. Only problem is that I've found that it's difficult to browse Barbie like usual without finding some NSFW stuff and I don't want that! 

Can I please see your Barbies, Arena? Because I know that at least some of you lovelies are bound to have a nice Barbie collection!

(I have a few thrift store dolls and in storage are my childhood Barbies, including some hand-me-downs from my mom. She had the original Skipper and TNT dolls!  )

I'm not a collector or fan, but I do have one Barbie. I got her as a kid and I've still got quite the soft spot for her. But her hair is so dusty after years of unprotected display that its turned somewhat gray, haha.

And then I've got these two, who I opened so I could steal their clothes. xD
(If anyone wants them for what it costs to ship 'em please let me know! They'll come nude with like shoes and brushes, and the brunette has all of her jewelry still. They might have messed up their hair a bit but otherwise should be fine.)

Midge & Midge the Hadley twins with their brother Allan (Midge was Barbie's best friend & Allan was actually her boyfriend but I've decided this Allan is my Midge twins' big brother instead):

OK, I'll stop myself before I post ALL of my Barbie photos...


Oh and a great resource for vintage Barbie is Fashion Doll Guide - there is also a bit of info about Holiday dolls and the silkstone dolls on there too. For more recent-ish releases try barbiecollector.com Kattis Dolls has some good info about the different face sculpts, too. Sorry - I just get really excited about Barbie

[Rachel-Eyes]

Eeeeeee!!!!! I am seriously loving all of these pictures!

Andi, it was actually stumbling upon The Fashion Doll Guide that got me really curious about Barbie collecting! I just love love love the '60s mod dolls and the really early facial sculpts they have had for them. It's so interesting to see her evolve with the culture and the times she lives in. I will have to check out Kattis Dolls too and maybe give my aunt a poke. She has a lovely MIB Barbie collection from I think the '70s to the '90s.

I also see that you have the Songbird Barbie. She was my childhood favorite! I love her!

[Colorscapesart]

I can't wait for more pics!  I have always loved Barbie, but I just cannot collect anything else.  That doesn't stop me from haunting Barbiecollector.com or the Toys R Us Barbie isles.

 Oh such goregous barbies you all have. I collected a small admount of barbies, mainly vintage or vintage reproductions, or collectors dolls having to do with certian historical eras, like the 20's and stuff. I even name them all, babie gets to be such a genral name. I don't have any pic's of my girls, and there not much because I collect alot of other things but I enjoy them.

 My favorite's probably Midge, follwed by Edith whos a cocca cola 50's fountain girl( got her because favorite era plus favorite soft drink equals buy, plus she flows with my 50's and 60's collection) Most recently, which is a while ago, I added a turn of the century girl who I named Velvet(odd name I know but I like odd names) So yah then there's Martha the bubble cut, Twist the TNT, Rita the american girl and quite a few others.
 
 I don't want to ramble on about my dolls I just love it when a barbie topic comes up. I am really looking forward to that 50th anniversary Midge giftset that's coming out. Oh and since the oppertunity presented it's self my favortie barbie doll era would be the whole decade of the sixties doll's, they have the sweetest outfits.

You can check the ones I have on my sig, on my toy collection website ! The pictures aren't mine. I did a research to find out the barbies I have and tried to keep as many MIB pictures as I could, so I can reassemble them all and take my own pictures someday (they aren't here with me). But you can take a look at the website anyway, just to have an idea of what I have

[ivybunny84]

I have a few hundred out of box, and maybe a hundred in box....I have a lot of barbies, maybe one day I'll photo them. right now the challenge is to put them all back together with there original stuff... not easy!

I love your Emily doll! I want one, but I haven't taken the plunge yet. (Partly because I can't decide between yours and the other version!) How do you like her?

[ember86]

I love her! Mine's a limited edition one that came out a few years ago. 

[Dibbles]

Living Fluff is the cutest thing!

My first unfinished OOAK, Dude.

I can't find my pics of Rocker Barbie. I also have a Barbie from Japan that I've been meaning to take pics of forever. I'll have to get those and post her here.
