These are the repro Barbies I won, btw! Their clothes are just handmade and not originally theirs, but I’m still super excited :smiley: I decided my sister would keep one and I’d keep the other!

#222

Thanks OWP! She is available at DisneyParks, or online.

Leirin, they are lovely! Were I you, I would take the raven-haired Barbie. She’s the stunner.

#223

Heheh, funny because that is exactly the one I was going to take! :smiley:

I’m thinking about asking for the one I lost the auction to for my birthday, but I’m scared of becoming addicted. I think it’s already happening. :open_mouth:

#224

Barbies are so addictive! Especially to have a variety of old, new, and inbetween dated ones. :smiling_imp:

#225

Yes, yes, exactly! Do you have any pictures of yours? :smiley:

#226

I will when I get a camera. I already promised a friend from Mexico I would share the photos on flickr anyway. 8D I acquired some old Barbies and random dolls, but I think they’re from the 80’s. They aren’t antiques or anything.

^All this talking about Barbie collecting has made me want to go surf through eBay to add more to my collection! What is it about eBay that makes you want to collect things more?? A couple of weeks ago my Mom and I spent hours just looking at page after page of Cherished Teddies figurines! ;-o

#228

Collecting is just so fun. There’s nothing like it. Except seeing new movies, anyway. <3

#229

^Much agreed, IV! :smiley:

#230

Oh gosh I feel exactly the same! It’s so nice to know a lot of you guys understand the way I think :smiley:

#231

Lately I’ve been acruing a bit of a Batman collection. :smiling_imp: I loooove Batman! What I really want are the Harley Quinn, Batgirl and maybe Catwoman and Poison Ivy Barbie dolls.

#232

Thread bump!

I guess I was being irritating on this thread. Sorry :stuck_out_tongue: Anyway, Glenn got me a Megara(from Hercules) doll for graduation! :smiley:

#233

^Coolio, IV! :slight_smile: I finally got around to getting a new Barbie doll for the first time in years. I got Princess Brietta from The Magic Of Pegasus. She is sooooo pretty and has the most gorgeous dress… plus, she has reddish-blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin, which makes her kinda my doppleganger :smiley: Got her for less than $20 on eBay new in the box, which I still can hardly believe since she’s retired and extremely rare! OK, sorry time for me to get back on topic.

A stupid thing I collect since I was little is completely used pencils like this:

We got a cup full of them, but I haven’t used pencils in years, so the collection is kind of over :frowning:

I got quite a big smile when I discovered that John Howe also collects them:

#235

When I saw your picture, John Howe was the first thing that came to mind^^. 8D

#236

I love it, Spirit!

#237

OWP: OMG!! Besides Disney dolls, Barbie is my favorite! And I love MoP. That doll is truly very pretty for play line material.

Spirit: That’s hilarious! How many do you have? Does Brother Spirit collect them as well?

#238

Well, once I started we all put our pencils there, so it’s more of a collective collection. But we don’t use them any more, so there’s no much to add now :frowning:

I’ve never counted them, and it would be very difficult, since there are so many!

#239

Oh, okay. I’m sorry you can’t collect them anymore!

#240

Very cool Spirit! Of course, pencils being that used up is something I’ve never seen in my household… (translation: I only recently got a package of normal drawing pencils after years of using 90% mechanical pencils and pens) :slight_smile:
I love Magic Of Pegasus, too, IV! I’ve wanted to collect my favorite Barbie Princesses for a long time now since I got Swan Lake’s Odette back in '03, and she’s the first I’ve gotten since!
