Yes, I know it’s been ages, but I haven’t really been feeling the Barbie bug till recently when I started making a few purchases of dolls that I missed out on when I stopped collecting in 2001. The first were the reproduction TNT Barbies. I have a few of these vintage dolls, but the Singapore weather just isn’t kind to them, so I’ve decided to get the reproductions instead.
Red, White ‘N Warm Brunette
All that Jazz Blonde
Made for Each Other Brunette
These dolls are gorgeous and are now part of my collection, and I am over the moon. I think I’ve got all the TNT Barbie Repros so far (at least ..read more

In a stunning tribute to the artist, this collectible Barbie® doll wears a head-to-toe ensemble featuring many well-known elements from works spanning Basquiat’s career.

This doll is the second in a series of 4 dolls that Mattel is issuing to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Barbie Fashion Model Collection. She “looks fashionably ready for an afternoon high tea. She wears a cream-colored bouclé suit ensemble, ruffled blouse and a chic fascinator with just the right pop of color. Delicate black gloves, tights, and stylish booties complete her sleek look. This collectible Barbie® doll features a poseable Silkstone® body.” (Mattel.com).
I like her better than I did the first doll in the series, Best in Black Barbie, which I thought was just too simple and ..read more

This gold label doll is the last doll of the Mythical Muse collection which started with the Unicorn Goddess Barbie® Doll in 2018 and was followed by the Mermaid Enchantress Barbie® Doll in 2019.
When I first heard the name of this doll, I immediately thought of Bob Mackie’s Fantasy Goddess of Asia Barbie and was actually surprised when I got my first glimpse of the photo of the doll. On second thought, I shouldn’t have been surprised because this doll follows the same sort of color scheme as the 2 other dolls in the series and has a dreamy aura about her. I know many collectors who loved the ..read more

I realize that it’s been some time since I’ve posted. There are 2 reasons for this. For one, RL has been pretty hectic and secondly, I don’t think there’s been anything exciting in the dolly world to talk about.

I loved the look of some of the new BMR1959 Barbies & Kens and was lucky enough to purchase one of the outfits from a fellow collector. I redressed my basketball MTM Barbie in the outfit and she looks fantastic! I didn’t think the outfit would fit because the basketball Barbie is a tall Barbie but it does. Shoes were not included in the purchase of the outfit but the shoes of the basketball MTM Barbie work just as well ..read more
