Fashion Doll Collecting
by Dakota Caudilla
So many fashion dolls to choose from For doll collectors who have a liking
for fashion, collecting fashion dolls seem like a logical option as a hobby. And
there are so many different types of fashion dolls out there in the market that
its easy to get confused. There are large toddler-sized fashion dolls, there are
teddy bear sized fashion dolls and…lets not forget those tiny little miniature
fashion dolls that you can place over dressing tables, closets or on the bedside
table itself!
Although fashion doll collecting is deemed to be a favorite hobby or interest
that people of the fairer sex likes to indulge in, some men actually like
collecting fashion dolls too! So, doll collecting is not a hobby exclusive to
girls…men can and some do collect fashion dolls.
Contemporary fashion dolls, vintage or modern fashion dolls? Your choice
Fashion dolls have very contemporary designs today with a fusion of modern
fashion clothes mixed and infused with traditional and conventional elements.
Fashion dolls like Robert Tonner dolls are truly made for the hard core doll
collector. Their dolls have a whole range of modern fashion dolls, vintage
fashion dolls and also fashion dolls based on characters. Fashion dolls with
characters, names and a personality profiles written out are often a hit with
doll collectors. Barbie dolls sell like crazy - not only a hit with youngsters,
but a hit with adults as well. In fact, the Barbie doll is, without a doubt, the
leader in fashion dolls. Barbie dolls have been selling like hot cakes for ages
and we dont think it will stop anytime soon, either. As long as clothes
designers keep coming up with new clothes and fashionable accessories for their
Barbie fashion dolls, people will keep on buying.
Knowing where to find your fashion dolls Knowing where to find affordable
fashion dolls will make a huge difference to your budget, especially if you dont
have a lot of money to spend on this fashion doll collecting hobby of yours.
Most of us dont. You dont have to have all the fashion dolls in the market today
- its not urgent! Although a point to note is that new fashion dolls are often
grabbed up in minutes after they hit the stalls. Keep some spare money and
budget the money you want to spend on fashion dolls every month - and dont
overspend. Itll make you feel resentful and youll soon lose interest in fashion
dolls.
Buying fashion dolls online For sure, you can find a wide range of fashion
dolls in supermarkets, hypermarkets, and in childrens toy stores. But the best
way to find cheap fashion dolls is online. Yes, online. Be warned that you have
to be careful about whom you buy the fashion dolls from if you buy it online.
Get to know the seller first before you part with your money….even if youre
desperate to have the fashion doll! Online auction websites like eBay, Amazon
and Box Lot have tons of fashion dolls listed for sale at ridiculous prices. But
as mentioned, be wary of the seller.
One last point to make about buying and collecting fashion dolls is this; its
not the number of fashion dolls in your collection that counts. Its the quality
of those fashion dolls that makes a difference! • Bisque. Many old, foreign
dolls have heads and/or bodies made of bisque, which is an unglazed porcelain
material. • Composition. Composition is a (surprise!) composition of wood pulp,
sawdust, and glue. The mixture was used to make heads and/or bodies of dolls
before plastic came along and took over the industry. • Celluloid. Before hard
plastic came out, dolls were made of celluloid, a thin, highly flammable type of
plastic. Dont smoke near your celluloid doll! • China. Many dolls that came out
in the mid-1800s were constructed from glazed porcelain called "china." • Hard
Plastic. A very durable plastic that was popular in constructing dolls in during
the mid-1900s. • Vinyl. Vinyl was often used in dolls of the 1960s. It can be
hard or soft, and it sometimes has that that yummy plastic smell.
