Doll Collection

Ah yes, my doll collection. It was only going to be a matter of time before I succumbed to the urge. Yes I know I’ve been collecting dolls for years…but not serious. Not serious enough to pay US$150 for a doll plus shipping costs to get it carted all the way over to the other side of the world only to never actually take it out of its box! I cringe when anyone just wants to pick up the box off my shelve!

So now the official collection (ie. the ones NRFB, never removed from box, mint condition as such) has grown to a grand total of 10. Not many I know but I don’t have any room plus I am not made of money. Yes, there does appear to be a theme going on here…but it’s early days yet and you’ve gotta start somewhere!
