As an adult, when I started collecting in earnest I looked for the dolls that I liked, regardless of their size, scale, or value. I have a nearly complete collection of Kenner Sea Wees, and Mattel She-Ra figures. My Barbie collection is mostly focused on Fairies, Fairy Tales, Mythology and the like, but I also have the 12 inch Xena dolls. <br /><br />When I started getting into the Tonner dolls, I was tickled with the new size. BJDs gave me a whole new world to play in, and I've been having a fantastic time finding things that fit the unusual sizes. <br /><br />I just got the Wicked Witch from the Pop Goes Oz collection, which is my first foray into the Ellowyne Wilde size and shape. Since my other Tonner girl is Harley Quinn (first edition) with flat feet, I now realize that I have a wardrobe of SHOES to acquire!<br /><br />Am I annoyed that she can't wear anyone else's shoes? Heck, no! New stuff to collect!!<br /><br />The doll club that we formed here in St. Louis is called Dolly Playmates, because we decided that while most of us are now obsessed with BJDs, we welcome anyone who plays with their dolls. As a result, we sometimes get people at meetings who bring dolls we're completely unfamiliar with, and a flurry of everyone trying on everyone else's stuff begins!Fairykuklahttp://www.flickr.com/photos/ttctroupe/noreply@blogger.com
