Welcome to the showcase of my Doll Collection, I started collecting as my mother was a collector of mainly porcelain dolls. I collect Vintage dolls including Furga dolls, and have recently started collecting Zapf dolls and accessories too. I also have a Masterpiece Doll.
I got her quite by chance from a local selling site for the wicker pram she came with, to display my porcelain dolls. She was listed as porcelain though she is actually vinyl. It tuns out she seems to actually be quite rare as the company makes porcelain dolls normally and these vinyl dolls by them were only made for a short time. She came with her original dress which is very pretty, but not the trousers so you can see the soft bodied part of her legs. I have dressed her in this pink newborn baby grow for now. She is in the Baby Born Car seat in the photo she fits it well. She has jointed legs and arms and is meant to be displayed sitting and is 12" high when sitting. She is very cute looking with good eyes and eye lashes, but her body is very stiff, and the cable ties used to put her head and limbs on are too wide and have sharp edges. I'm going to replace them with thinner ones, quite worrying since this doll was meant for children.
And here is the wicker Dolls pram displaying my two Alberon dolls Molly And Sally. I'll be taking better photo's of them all and making videos over the next few days, so stay tuned.
I've started making horror dolls out of old unwanted dolls, I recently goy huge joblot of dolls so I shall be very busy. some of the dolls I alter I sell from Etsy Shop Dark Fruit Enterprises there are currently 3 available. I've also started a blog for the shop Dark Fruit Dolls, be sure to check it out and follow my progress.
I found this fashion doll house in a charity shop and bought it thinking it might be a Sindy house. I soon found out it wasn't, and after many hours of searching finally managed to find out it is the Meritus Fashion mansion from about 1984. And the picture above is how it is supposed to be assembled, sadly mine is missing it's doors.
Meritus are a toy company that also made accessories for Barbie dolls in the 80's too. This house was sold by Sears featured in the "wishbook" catalogue in 1985.
Here is a picture of the box, sadly I don't have it.
I made this video of it to help other people who may have one unassembled and want to know what it is supposed to look like. It also shows some of my Sindy collection as they fit it so well. I will eventually be listing it on eBay too, as it's too big for me to keep.
I've now started collecting Baby Born Dolls and other Zapf dolls, I've just got series 5 Baby Annabell's Brother Doll today who I'll be making videos of too.
Check out the videos of my collection so far. And stay tuned for better quality videos now I have a better camera and editing software.
