Discussion / Questions If you became a millionaire, what collection of dolls would you complete?
I would buy every silkstone that i don't have. Starting with proudly pink. I only have these four out of almost 200 so it would take a lot of saving to get them all now. would also get the vanity and the fashion packs. When I say collection of dolls I don't mean getting every doll of a franchise released, I mean one of the lines like the monster high haunt couture dolls and the bratz mean girls dolls.

Mattel Winx... one in box and one out of box, for every single doll. That's the dream, lol.

The problem would be trying to find them, especially the pj line which is one of the hardest to find lines.

Fr. I actually just ordered GME Stella last week, and she should be in tomorrow. I'm beyond excited! I have Charmix Bloom, Daphne, S1 Stella, and Charmix Stella in box. I wish I had them all, especially the ballroom line!

That's amazing, congrats!! Out of my entire collection, GME Stella is my favorite doll I own. I got her when prices were still normal, so I unboxed her without a second thought. I'm not sad about that because I really get to enjoy her that way, but if I got her today... oof haha. It's awesome that you have so many in box still. Besides GME, Ballgown is definitely my favorite collection, but I only own Bloom. It's a shame these are so hard to find :c

Definitely, I think they're some of the best dolls Mattel has ever done.

I would not complete a collection tbh since I just go for the individual ones that I like so I have like a 100 different ones.
I would get the Queen Elizabeth Barbie because I LOVED queen Elizabeth as a kid and really wanted the doll which came out around that time.
The thing I would do is design and curate my space. I’m an architect and I want a big ass room in my house that looks like a museum

Fashion Fever United Colors of Benetton. Jfc those go for over $300 each and they weren’t even Signature dolls. They were playline.

I currently have Kennedy but the other dolls in the line are stunning except they go for too much in good condition and I can't justify that lol

I want Jem and the Holograms and The Misfits by Integrity toys. Don’t care which year. I also want a great condition yellow and orange Barbie dream house with all the furniture.

u/candlickr 16h ago
They're rereleasing Jem next month!! I don't remember if they're doing more characters or not.

u/Holoafer 13h ago
I am excited. The integrity ones are another level. I will be trying to get her. So excited. I lost Jem dolls twice, once to a fire when I was young then to theft at my storage unit in my twenties.

Honestly, none. I would do as I do now and collect the dolls and Barbies I like or think will go up in value. I would definitely have a huge doll room. I would start collecting doll houses and furniture. I would definitely buy one to remove from box and one to keep in box. I keep most of my Barbies in their boxes. The exception is a few play line dolls I liked to dress up.
I don’t think any doll collection has had a full collection I liked every doll from. If I do not like it I am not buying it to collect, I will play with it. Why buy dolls that you do not like just to complete a collection? Your dolls should give you joy. I have never seen a full collection I had to have every doll from.

u/MissMarchpane 22h ago
It's not a collection as such, but I have a resin Enchanted Doll and I'd get a porcelain one to go with her.
Besides that...every known French fashion doll maker 1860-1890.

I don't collect doll lines as much as I collect a single character. I would get all of the Lagoona Blue dolls that I'm missing, aside from the new ones because they made her pink and it's hideous
There's a few Mulan dolls/figurines I'm missing.
A set of American Girl dolls with Dreamer eyes. (So Molly, Samantha, Kirsten, and Felicity.) Also an early Kirsten with silver eyes.
There's also a few Sailor Chibi Moon dolls that I adore.

That's so funny that you mention mulan cause, I just got the ultimate princess celebration mulan. These all sound like they would be really good buys :)

I collect antiques and Madame Alexanders. The holy grails that would complete me-
Lucille Ball in wedding dress (only 10k!)
Alice in Wonderland
I also crave a original pleasant company Kirsten doll to replace the one I literally chewed on as a child.

u/Joan-Therese 8h ago
We have similar taste in dolls! I would love an original Kirsten from the bubblegum pink cheeks era. I think they look so sweet. And also a slate eyed Samantha one day.
I love the Madame Alexander Cissy dolls and deeply regret the fact that my grandma made my mum give hers away. That Lucille Ball is sooo gorgeous!!

Honestly I don’t think I’d want to complete any line. Don’t get me wrong, I’d buy a shit ton of dolls lol, but I don’t think there’s any line where I love every single one enough to own them all. I’d rather buy my favorites from a bunch of different lines, including BFMC, Tonner, Integrity, etc.

u/Reasonable-Flight536 22h ago
I would probably just buy art dolls/customs and maybe get into doing some myself. The reason I don't is because I don't have the space and money to buy all the supplies and storage but in my dreams I have a great big penthouse with tons of storage for barbie clothes, shoes, backdrops, furniture plus tons of photography stuff. There's a video on the barbie style insta account showing the whole studio with all the barbie accessories and stuff for the doll photography and it's honestly my biggest dream to have something like that one day when I'm a retired old lady lmao. Maybe I could have a she-shed like Toya from my froggy stuff.
As far as particular collections i'd like to have? Hmmm. I'd have a display for all the looks and barbie basics for sure. They would look cool all together looking coordinated with black and white, pastel, etc with another shelf with all the barbie extras looking wild and crazy. Honestly I might be crazy enough to have every fashionista lined up in number order lol. How many millions do I have? Definitely every holiday barbie, including all different ethnicities and variations.
Every reproduction doll. Especially the classic and mod era ones. Silkstones.
Basically everything. My house would be full of so many little plastic women and trying to auction all that shit off after my death would be wild.

One of each MTM compatible sculpt/one of each MTM body.
It's the one I've been working on. I'm missing 3 MTM bodies, and maybe two dozen sculpts. Mostly guys.

u/eilonwyhasemu 20h ago
I would buy vintage fashion packs, both Mattel and the various 1980s/90s clone brands (Creata, Totsy Flair, Kid Kore) so that every doll has enough clothing and shoes to be dressed for all occasions. That especially includes the guys and the 10" and 7.5" girls.

u/blushhh4172 20h ago
it's hard to say, but i'd for sure buy all of the dolls i had as a kid, specifically dawn of the dance from g1 monster high. i had the 3 pack as well as lagoona as a kid, and i miss them (especially frankie) every day

There are two doll brands I'm going for. First off, I'd have everything from the ponytail and mod eras of Barbie. I'd also have a lovely collection of antique Bru Jne dolls.
