The new Allan doll is a really well done reimagining of Ken’s original ‘buddy’🧡! Whoever designed him did a fantastic job! Could Mattel have made it easier to get him outside of the US though? Yes. Yes they could have. #barbie #allanbarbie #allandoll #dollcollector

My lovely friend spent Christmas with us (a tradition I hope to maintain) and gave me the most thoughtful, perfect gift! The Barbie Bride’s Dream set is one I’ve been eyeing up since I started collecting and I’m so happy to finally own it! My No.4 looks perfect in it! #barbie #vintagebarbie

Bought my first Malibu Barbie after avoiding her like the plague. She's basically mint and I think she's such a pretty example! #barbie #malibubarbie #vintagebarbie #dollcollector

Me: I'm going to be sensible with money and not dip into my overdraft Also me: A Second Stevie Nicks Barbie is an excellent investment and will improve my life

My Barbie made of Mattel factory reject parts that found their way onto a certain Chinese e-commerce site. I just think she's lovely 💜 #barbie #dollcollector

I generally only collect Barbie-shaped dolls, but I found this poor Rainbow High rammed into the refridgerated pie aisle at Lidl a couple of years back and felt sorry for her, so she came home with me. #rainbowhigh #dollcollector

Just a bit of low-stakes kanekalon torture on a Thursday... I'll crimp her hair at some point in the future. Honestly, I'm just glad there's so much of it left! #barbie #90sbarbie #totallyhairbarbie #totallyhairwhitney #barbierestoration

A child who probably had a serial killer name like Geranium chopped this Barbie’s face off. I restored her last year, but decided to redo it. I bet Geranium now gives her grandkids bad haircuts just because. #barbie #vintagebarbie #dollrestoration #bubblecutbarbie

Ms. Brigigi's hair got a boil wash and she's ready to go! #brigigi #argigi #barbie #dollcollector #doll

The arrival of Brigigi! #argigi #brigigi #dollcollector #barbie

It only took eighty four years to get her lol. #barbie #barbiedeluxechase #barbiecollector

Everyone's talking about Lindsay Lohan's surgeon, but no one is talking about Midge's. #barbiemidge #midgedoll #vintagebarbie #vintagemidge #barbie

With all the talk about the new Silkstone Barbie, I thought I'd spring the Barbie she's inspired by out of Barbie Jail. She doesn't have the Modern Art Dress (I can dream), but she's a lovely side-part tititan bubble, and one of my favourites 💜 #barbie #vintagebarbie #dollcollector

I semi-impulse purchased this absolute icon yesterday! She's Argigi's (the British model don't you know?) new friend Brigigi and she's an actress ✨ #argigi #brigigi #dollcollector #doll #fashiondoll #barbie

A day of Kenergy...plus Allan. Details in thread! #vintagebarbie #vintageken #vintageallan #dollcollector #dollrestoration

The 90s icon is here!! #vintagebarbie #90sbarbie #barbie

A low-stakes, easy makeover today for Dogbite Boobs Barbie here 💜 She was already pretty, but a little blush and lipstick goes a long way! The bites were minimised too! #barbie #vintagebarbie #dollrestoration

Dodgy, rushed photos, but I just had to show off these fashions from ladollcevita1960! Aren't they stunning? I don't have a zebra swimsuit for my No.4 yet, but this more than makes up for it 💜 #barbie #vintagebarbie #dollstagram #dollcollector

I rescued this doll from the Alison Express warehouse where apparently they had plonked a lovely early 90s head on a heinous 2015 body. I switched her into a 90s body and have her 90s hair ✨ #barbie #vintagebarbie

My husband’s arch enemy (regular troll for scale). I like to move him around the house as an interactive experience ✨ #russtroll #trolldoll#trollingwithtrolls

I bought this 1996 Hula Hair Barbie from a shady source I shall refer to as Ms. Alison Express. Apparently she was faulty and therefore condemned to wander the dusty warehouse for decades. I don’t see any faults, but I’ve never seen that headband! #barbie #vintagebarbie

Building my army of tiny clowns one at a time. #damtrolls #trolls #trolldoll #troll #damtroll

They’re here!!!!! #barbie #vintagebarbie #ken #vintageken

Oops lol. I need a lock on my Ebay. These two have been together for sixty years and that story, combined with the 20% discount compelled me....so here we are 😂 (photo courtesy of caketin dolls) #vintagebarbie #barbie

Not a Barbie, but when I saw this little troll I had to have them! I used to collect them as a child, but my mum hated them so there were a few that went missing under strange circumstances. This little one has had a clean and a boil perm, ready for my shelf 💜 #trolldoll #troll #damtroll

Rescued some nineties icons from the shady depths of Ali Express. Will update when they arrive to confirm their actual condition! #barbie #90sbarbie #vintagebarbie

PJ serving Little House on the Prairie in her Best Buy #3205 peasant dress ✨ #vintagebarbie #malibubarbie #malibupj #70sbarbie #barbie

I made a sympathy purchase last week. Unfortunately her problem wasn't age, it was her ghastly factory paint...she was serving 2023 Fashionista Barbie. So I had a quiet evening of painting today💜 #barbie #vintagebarbie #barbierestoration #dollrestoration

New project acquired. I have plans for Christie! #barbie #vintagebarbie

The vintage girls are all fully clothed in part thanks to one of my favourite sellers, Fashion Dolls & More! I also reset my brunette bubble cut and AG girls' hair again. #barbie #vintagebarbie #fashiondoll
