The term collectible refers to just about anything that you can imagine, as long as it is something that can be collected, and something that holds value to someone, somewhere. For example, many people enjoy doll collectibles, so much so that doll collectibles are some of the most popular collectibles out there right now. This is because when you think collectibles, you probably think collectible dolls.

If you are interested in doll collectibles, then the first thing that it is important to do is to educate yourself about doll collectibles as much as you possibly can. One thing that you absolutely need to learn is how you are going to protect the investment that you put into your doll collectibles by learning how to properly care for them. This is going to give you the opportunity to keep your doll collectibles in the most perfect possible condition so that you can sell them or pass them on later as needed.

When you first buy a doll and bring it home, you should not tear the packaging open. If you can possibly help it, you should leave the packaging in perfect, mint condition. You are going to need to remove the doll from the packaging, however, in order to take the steps necessary to make sure that your doll collectibles have a very long shelf life.

The first step to removing doll collectibles from packaging is to remove tape from the bows in the doll’s hair if they exist. Any remaining tape is going to leave a residue that will impact the doll’s resale value later on. Anything that might rust inside the packaging must also be removed. If there is metal in the packaging and it rusts over time, the doll could be completely ruined over time.

Now you should buy acid free tissue paper that you can wrap your doll collectibles in. This is available through hobby stores. The doll’s clothes should be removed before you wrap your dolls in the paper. Then put the clothing back on the doll. The integrity of the doll collectibles fabric will be maintained by doing this. Fabric dyes can dye the skin of your doll otherwise. If your doll picks up odd colors from her clothing, she will no longer be a worthy member of your collection.

Now your doll collectibles’ eyes should be treated. If they move freely or close automatically when the doll is horizontal, then you should use diluted isopropyl alcohol to treat the eyes. Apply a thin layer of the solution before wiping the entire eye area clean using a clean cotton towel. Allow the eyes to dry completely. This will keep them not only clean but also completely dust free as well.

The more you do to care for your doll collectibles, the more they will be worth as an entire collection later in your life. A little bit of prevention now can mean a better collection in the future.

Collectibles -> Animation Art, Characters -> Bratz

Bratz Dolls, produced by MGA Entertainment, are similar to Barbie Dolls in that kids (and adults) love them and love to collect them. But there’s no mistaking a Bratz Doll for a Barbie Doll, not even at a glance. Bratz Dolls are shorter at only 10 inches compared to Barbie’s height of 11.5 inches. Though they’re shorter, they’re chunkier dolls than Barbies, because the dolls features and proportions are slightly larger. They’re further distinguishable from Barbies because they’ve actually replaced her as the top seller in some parts of the world.

Bratz Dolls are relatively new. Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha and Jade, the original dolls, appeared in 2001 and quickly took the doll world by storm. They’re now available in almost 70 countries. And the Bratz line has grown to include new dolls that are friends of the original spunky four, mini-dolls, games, video games, movies, spin-off doll lines, music, a television series, and dozens of other kids’ products from bikes to bedding.

Bratz Dolls are unique, not just because of their sassy appearance, but because the heads are made from hard vinyl, and the feet come off completely. These dolls have predominant feet to show off the stylin’ shoes the girls wear. When it’s time to change to a new, cool pair of shoes, there’s no need to wrestle small shoes onto their feet, the entire foot/shoe combo comes off at the doll’s ankle allowing for quick accessory changes.

Something else that sets Bratz Dolls apart is the makeup the dolls wear, and the focus on appearance and fashion. Some say they flaunt the bad qualities of materialism and narcissism. Some of the clothes have caused a stir, too. Skimpy outfits and outfits that look straight from the pages of Vogue have bothered some parents who feel that they don’t represent good values and that they put even more pressure on girls to look and act a certain way.

But Bratz Dolls have won several industry awards like Toy of the Year and Character Brand License of the Year, in addition to awards given by other organizations like Disney’s Family Fun and the Toy Industry Association. They also represent different ethnicities, instead of just offering blonde, blue-eyed dolls, which is one major point of appeal for kids and adults alike. They come with cool accessories that kids love, and girls tend to collect and play with the dolls longer than they do Barbies, so they have pre-teen and early teen appeal. Long after many girls stop playing with dolls, they still love these fashionable dolls.

When collecting Bratz Dolls, online auctions are probably the best place to find them. Because they’ve only been manufactured since 2001 you’ll want to purchase dolls that are in the original condition, with no wear, repairs or restoration. At the very least, any changes need to be detailed by the seller, as they drop the value. It’s also important to make sure the original packaging is intact and the doll is in the original outfit.

Dolls-and-Bears -> Bears -> Boyds

Boyds Bears are the creation of Gary Lowenthal and his wife, Justina Unger. Before they were married, they owned an antique shop together in 1979, and found that they couldn’t afford the types of antiques they wanted to carry. So in 1982 they started making and selling antique reproductions, beginning with their line of duck decoys. They began making miniature reproduction houses out of resin which they called Gnomes Homes. Business was good—they even sold wholesale to other retailers.

Then in 1984, they designed a 12” jointed bear, inspired by a line of Merino wool bears from China, and named it Matthew after their infant son. Boyds Bears were born. In 1993, they began making resign bear statues, as well as other items. Their catalogue of products is large with a variety of different things to choose from. But the soft bears are still one of their most popular items, with collectors clamoring to get them all.

Many of their products, including Boyds Bears, have won doll and toy industry awards, and their line is highly popular with teddy bear collectors. The bears can be found in chain and independent stores like Hallmark and other shops, and through many online stores, as well as eBay. They have a party plan that allows a party hostess to earn free merchandise by hosting a bear party to sell the plush bears, as well as a collector and fan club called the Loyal Order of Friends of Boyds, whose fee entitles you to special members-only versions of some items, as well as other perks.

As with most collector lines like Boyds Bears, the older and retired bears are more valuable and more difficult to find. When a bear is retired that means it’s no longer being manufactured, so the number is limited to how many have already been produced. These are hot items for collectors, so if you’re looking for a retired bear, you might have a lot of searching to do before you’re lucky enough to find it at a price you find acceptable.

Unless you just want every one of the Boyds Bears you can possibly find (and some people do!) then it’s best if you narrow down your idea of what your collection should be about. You can choose between plush bears and resin, or you can have a mixture. Even if you choose one or the other, you’ll want to further plan your collection, because there are so many, with new ones being produced all the time.

You can narrow your collection theme by holiday—there are several both plush and resin designs for every holiday you can think of. Just Christmas bears alone in both plush and resin could have you happily searching for new items for quite some time, but the other holidays are well-represented, too. You can choose ornaments, bears wearing different hats, bears made to represent the seasons, Boyds Bears themed Victorian or country, or almost any other kind of classification you can think of.

Dolls-and-Bears -> Barbie-Vintage-Pre-1973 -> Structures-and-Furniture

The first Barbie Dream House was introduced in 1960, and could fold up into a small box that was easily carried around by a little girl. Ponytail Barbie, the Barbie whose hair was pulled back into a ponytail with short bangs in front, wanted nothing more than to live in her dream house and hang out with her friends. These Dream Houses have been a popular Barbie item since their introduction, and are still being created today in various forms.

A vintage Barbie Dream House, though, is something many collectors clamor for. Whether it’s that original house with a plaid couch and a television console that was just as long as the couch, or a more modern 80s dream house, collectors love to purchase these items. For many, it takes them back to their childhood spent playing with Barbies and the Dream House they had (or wanted but never got) as a child. For others, it’s part of the lure of collecting dolls and their accessories.

An online auction site like eBay is a wonderful place to look for the Barbie Dream House you want. Because they’re not small items, you might decide you just want one. Maybe you want one that would have been the one you had as a child. Or maybe you want one from your favorite era of toys and Barbie dolls. Some collect all they can afford.

If you plan on collecting more than one Barbie Dream House, then you should decide what criteria you’ll go by when purchasing them. You might decide that you’ll set a price limit—you won’t purchase a Dream House that costs more than your limit. Some mint condition Barbie Dream Houses cost $1000 or more. It might not be that important for you to have a mint condition toy.

If you want a Barbie Dream House that’s still in decent shape, you should be able to find one for less. It won’t be mint condition, but good condition. Often these will have some wear. Considering the earliest Dream Houses were often made of cardboard, in and out, that they’re in good condition at all is amazing, especially given how played with some of these toys were. Few little girls got a Barbie Dream House for Christmas and then set it on a shelf. Barbie lived there, and invited all her friends over regularly! So while a cardboard house will show some wear, particularly on the outside and the corners, you might find that an acceptable compromise and just consider your collectible Dream House a well-loved toy, instead of one that’s mint.

Later versions contained plastic and vinyl, and eventually they became all plastic and grew to 2 stories and then 3, with things like an elevator that moved up and down and other moving parts. The décor changed to match the times, ensuring that each generation could purchase a modern home. The Barbie Dream House is one of the best loved toys every created, and that should make any toy collector want at least a few.

There is a great deal of variety out there when it comes to collecting dolls, such as Barbie collectibles for example. There are dolls that are designed to be toys, and here are dolls that are designed to be collectibles, and Barbie dolls are no exception to the rule because some Barbie dolls are for collecting and others are for playing with. Dolls have existed in a myriad of different forms all throughout history, and many people therefore are quite interested in keeping them as collectibles. Some people focus completely on Barbie collectibles while others focus on collecting all types of dolls. While the history of Barbie dolls is extensive, the history of dolls as collectibles goes much further.

First Dolls

Dolls have been around ever since ancient times. They were used for the purpose of children’s toys, and they also represented other things such as religious figures for example. Dolls were made out of a wide variety of different materials back then including animal fur, wood and clay. No dolls have been found that go as far back as prehistoric times except for a fragment of a doll that was found in Babylon. Dolls have been in children’s graves in Egypt, Greece and Rome.

European Dolls

Between the 16th century and the 17th century, Europe began to construct rather simple dolls from wood. They began to use other materials like paper mache and wax beginning by the 1800s. This is around the same time that porcelain began to be used for this purpose as well. Porcelain proved itself capable of being more durable than the other popular materials, and that is why many porcelain dolls have survived through the ages.

Modern Dolls

Today there are many dolls that are still being crafted out of porcelain and numerous other materials. Dolls are found that resemble famous figures, cartoon characters, comic characters and real people. Other dolls are designed specifically in order to showcase different styles of fashion. Some dolls resemble princesses and queens. Barbie dolls came onto the market in the latter half of the 1950s, and the popularity of Barbie collectibles is still going quite strong. Barbie was intended for teenagers initially, but now there is a Barbie to suit every need, even Ken dolls for boys to play with. Barbie collectibles are becoming increasingly popular, especially as Barbie dolls are released to be played with as well as collected.

Today’s Dolls

Dolls have become a truly popular item for collecting. Many people keep Barbie collections and collections of other types of doll as well. Dolls have never lost popularity as being a plaything for children. Dolls have certainly come quite a long way since ancient times, and they will continue to grow and evolve with time as well.
