Oh wow, where do you keep all of them!?!
They’re really not as space consuming as one might think. I only have two boxed dolls: my Limited Edition Wedding Rapunzel, and my 1991 film release Belle. I HATE having dolls in the box. I wouldn’t want to sell them, I collect for fun. So to me the “value” is irrelevant. When they’re on stands, they really take up very little space individually. And I have a lot of shelves!
Nice collection, IV! And I agree on boxed dolls… I think it’s something that’s been ingrained in me ever since I first saw Toy Story 2…
Yes! I feel like they’re trapped! Plus, then they’re difficult to pose and redress.
Which is your favorite doll in your collection?
Ooh, that’s an awesome collection IV! I’ve only got some Coraline dolls, Merida and Elinor, and a couple of vintage Barbie reproductions. Not to flood you with questions but do you have any photos of em?
Leirin, I love the Coraline dolls! I have none though. I ordered Elinor, and the Queen from Snow White today. And got Merida for my sister on the $4 sale.
Either my fashion Secrets Megara, my 2010 Disney Store Rapunzel, my Limited Edition wedding Rapunzel, my 2012 DS Merida(the Barbie sized one, not the huge one who talks, but I love her too) or one of my Ariel dolls. Also love my vintage and recent Barbies, but I love characters so much. I know that’s way too many favorites, but I love all of my dolls so much. It’s like choosing a favorite child! Or a favorite movie. Ironically, I have a few Belle dolls, but they aren’t accurate in my eyes to be my “favorites”. I love them a lot though. I also collect the male/prince characters. I need a camera.
EDIT: I have some(albeit outdated) photos on my flickr account. Here’s my Tangled collection, though I have one more Rapunzel and Mother Gothel now.

On this wishlist I made a few months ago, you’ll see Megara and Rapunzel who I now have. Rapunzel has 17 inches of hair, a pascal figure(who is a perfect size for her!) and a paintbrush.

Finally, this is not my photo. But I have this doll, but not her outfit. Love her!

How often do you get new dolls?
It really depends. I usually get new ones for Christmas and my birthday. This birthday I didn’t get any gifts, but my friend gave me a 25$ DS gift card, so I ordered 2 for myself and one for my sister. I’ve only been actively collecting dolls since 2010, so I guess it’s fair to say I get between 10 and 20 dolls a year. Sometimes when I have money I buy them, as well. LE Wedding Rapunzel(I also have a 12" wedding doll of her) is my most expensive doll at 100 dollars.
I love how both of our collections are Disney themed. XD
Me too! I also have a lot of Barbies, old and new. And I have action figures, most of whom are from Pixar or Batman. I also have a couple of Spiderman(Spidermen?) and one is in the package, from 1992!
Wow, that is awesome! Are your parental units chill with your collection?
Eh, my mom used to think I was trying to escape growing up with it. Now they sort of tease me about it, but they don’t try to stop me or anything. They even get me dolls sometimes for Christmas and my birthday.
I used to collect Littlest Pet Shop, Beanie Babies, and Furbys, but not anymore.
Today, I collect Pez dispensers and Cars toys.
^I used to collect LPS and Ty beanie babies too! I still have my LPS collection and Ty dolls. They’re great
Most of the Beanie Babies I collected years ago were all cats.
I got a new doll!

Fashionistas are a highly posable line of Barbie and her friends. They have ugly outfits, but I collect them for their unique and stunning facemolds! This is Summer.
^Omg, nice, I just ordered a Barbie off Amazon the other day! I’m not wild about that one’s outfit like you said but the face mold and hair quality are fab.
Thanks! What Barbie did you get? Is she modern, or vintage? I want to get my Fashionistas some fashion packs. They have prints all the way around the dress, unlike them ones the dolls come with. And they’re better fabric, and not ugly.
I don’t know why good Barbie clothes can be so hard to come by these days.
Oh, she’s a reproduction of one from the 60s. She’s this one. amazon.com/Red-White-Warm-Co … roduct_top It apparently shipped a couple of days ago and I’m hoping it’s out soon.
