New Memeber checking in!

Hi!  I'm Barbara E.  I have been a doll collector for ten years.   I played with Barbie as a little girl in the eighties, and back then the Dream Glo line was my favorite.

As an adult collector, I started back collecting the BMR line and Silkstone Barbies, but then once Fashion Royalty entered the scene, that was it for me.  I do buy the occasional Barbie though, like their new Fashion Model line.

I also buy action figures from makers like HotToys, ZCWorld, and DiD.  I like action figures because they make really good very nice casual clothing for the guys.

I cruise ebay ALL THE TIME for stuff for my collection.  That's where I get most of my furniture and some OOAK pieces.  I have my favorites like Matisse, LaBoutique, LittleDreams, and Vanes.

I have been to most of the FR conventions, though I missed the last one.  I hope to make it to Orlando this year.

As for the other doll boards, I mostly post at DollDivas, though I do visit the W Club forum and Pink Parlor sometimes.

If you got any questions, just ask!

Love...B

Yeah, I can see that I am.  Hey Cathy, I just gotta ask, since I see your last name.  Are you any relation to the Runnels family in professional wrestling?

Dusty, Dustin, and Cody Runnels wrestle as the Rhodes family.  :-D  They are legends, especially Dusty, the dad.

Yeah, I do love talking about my collection.  I used to take a lot more photos of them, but I haven't had much chance recently.

I've been collecting photos of some of the hot toys guys as they have such characterful faces & the clothes and details look amazing.

Welcome Barbara!

Kate you need to stop collecting the pictures and start collecting the actual figures.  It's worth it.  Trust me.
