Guys It finally happened I found her!!

OK for those of you who may not know when I was about 10 we had a housefire and it was bad enough that we lost almost everything that was in the house this included my doll collection was a pretty decent size collection. Has Barbies had always been a big thing for me. But out of the entire collection, there were three dolls that stood out, that I desperately wanted back that I hadn’t been able to get a hold of and this was one of them.

This is the Disney fairytale wedding Ariel doll from 2008. I had saved up my birthday money to buy her And I never forgot how absolutely enchanting she felt to me but of course she’s one of those dolls that has only gotten more and more expensive. The longer time is gone on which made replacing her really hard, especially since my family doesn’t have a lot of money and I didn’t have a job until the last few year I made a post on Reddit asking what dolls you had as a kid that I missed and really wish I had back and she was one of the dolls I had listed that was about nine months ago, but as of July 22, I was able to officially add her into my collection again I had managed to find her at random looking for something else buried in a lot with a couple other Ariel dolls, and I remember the immense excitement that went through me.

There were a few small damages to the dress that I was able to easily repair and because she was used, she didn’t have her flounder or her veil crown

the crown she is currently wearing is from a Disney store set

it’s just made my day to have her back.

Continuing the tour of my collection, this one is a two for one

Marie-Grace Gardner

and

Cécile Rey

[We will ignore that I did not think about the way AG eyes work before deciding how to photograph all of my dolls for these introduction posts.]

Cecile and Marie Grace are already character dolls, two girls living during the Yellow Fever epidemic in New Orleans in 1853. They were the only dolls American Girl released as a pair, so I couldn't make separste posts for them.

Something I can't wait for is making new clothes for them. I am currently studying costuming, and the 1850s and 60s just happen to be my favourite time period in fashion history. Like set a book then just to describe the dresses favourite. Like I dress like that every day favourite. So many more clothes for these girls will follow.

These girls were bought second hand on ebay, shortly before last Christmas (2022), and they arrived with very loose limbs. I fixed Marie Grace, mostly, but I quite hate scooping out their innards, so Cécile will probably stay loose. Queen of sitting down.

Friends, romans, countrymen, fellow doll collectors.

I’ve been thrifting and regularly shopping on Mercari and eBay for quite some time. I’ve found a lot of great deals. I’ve bought a lot of things that make me very happy for great prices.

This? This takes the cake.

I mean, you can already see why I’m excited. She’s still in her box, and although there’s light wear, she’s in pretty darn good condition.

But just wait.

….THIS is what she usually sells for. And you may notice that that’s not even the same version, the sold listings are for the American version. The one I have is the Canadian version, which I can find absolutely zero listings for, but international variants usually sell for more, sometimes significantly more, than their American counterparts.

(And it’s not just that she comes with a different box—you can see the colors of her gymnast bar are reversed!)

My fellow doll collectors.

The price I got her for? $14.

Excuse me while I go hyperventilate and cry happy tears and make squealing sounds at ungodly high frequencies for a while.

Has you guys have probably guessed based off of some post I’ve made about the Disney locana cards. I am a huge Atlantis fan. so here is yet another doll from my collection milo Thatch

I’ve loved the movie ever since I first watched it which unfortunately wasn’t until I was in my teens, but it’s still one of my favorite movies and it is a huge go to for me when I just need something fun to watch. like I said Atlantis is one of my top three all-time Disney movies and I think that is that the cast of the movie is done so beautifully at the end of the movie you walk away, loving all of them for the part they played I mean even the bad guy rourke, played his part so well that you have to admire him as a has a character

and I love Milo so much has a main character. He’s just this silly dorky nerd with a heart of gold and like several PhDs behind him and of course that’s why I had to have this in my collection.

and I was lucky enough to find one inbox with all of his pieces for a really good price usually, I’m pretty hesitant about buying inbox toys because I know I can’t keep them in the box. I am just way too much of a Kid at heart for that and I actually ended up finding him cheaper inbox then I would have outbox with all of his pieces so I made an exception

I'll post individual posts to get to know each one over the nexts few days/weeks, but for now, I'll leave you with some stats under the read more

3 are American Girl dolls, 2 are from the italian brand My Doll, 1 from an artisan shop in Sicily and I don’t know about the other 12, but they seem to belong to 4 different brands.

4 are made of plastic, 11 of porcelain, and 2 of fabric.

13 were bought second hand, of which 11 were thrifted in physical shops and 2 bought on ebay, 4 were bought directly from the company/manufacturer, and one was gifted to me.

Most of them were added to the collection between 2016 and 2018, 3 were bought between September and December 2022, and 2 during 2023.
