Thanks once again for your wonderful advocacy for the hobby. Today’s video really made me think: when I was a kid, I had the original Barbie (yes Im that old) and collected the foreign dolls that my father brought back from his military travels. Both of which might explain my love for the smarties. Thanks again for all you do, Allison.🧡

Similar to Barbie, but with a bit of an edge, is Monster High. They're incredibly detailed, they were a phenomenon in their heyday, and the characters' personalities are varied, so whether it's because they are your favorite monster or cryptid, really pretty, or have traits you can relate to, there's a doll or two for everyone. Your can also find them second hand really often, though the reasonably priced ones are usually a bit worse for wear... There's also a reboot out now, and so far the new dolls are really cool too.

Great list, but I would agree that doll collecting stems from what you remember from your childhood or see along your travels...my thoughts as I am years older, would be to add Ginny dolls or Madame Alexander dolls, modern iconic dolls right up there with Barbie I believe. I look forward to your videos, your enthusiasm is so fun to watch, and I love seeing new dolls that are different from what I collect. All the best to you!

Good video and good list. One of the most amusing doll-related stories I have ever heard was an incident involving a Cabbage Patch doll during the period of complete frenzy over them. (1983 or so?) Supposedly a woman had somehow been able to get her hands on one during her lunch hour. She left the doll on her desk and her coworkers "kidnapped" it and left a ransom note. She didn't take it seriously, assuming they would just give the doll back. However, the next day there was a small container of cole slaw on her desk with a note that said something like, "This is her arm. Bring brownies or worse things will happen." I don't remember how the story ended. Probably she was a good sport and brought the brownies, but I thought the whole cole slaw angle was pretty clever.

Interesting list. I agree with all of it for the reasons you have said. I don't totally agree with your reasons on Cabbage Patch, but I do have a token Cabbage Patch doll in my collection. Unfortunately, I agree with your Barbie reasons. I dislike Barbie, a lot. And yet, dispite this, I have 5 in my collection. They are playline and are Barbie's friends. I am not sure where I am going with my collection. I inherited 3 generations of doll (under 20 dolls, though), and they seem to want to be my core of the collection. Newer dolls work with them, but I am still working out where I am going with this collection.

Alison, have you ever heard of Original Doll Babies? If not for them we'd never have had CPK dolls. I have two of them in my family, and I love the funny little faces. I also have a couple of vintage off brand CPK types, a Wee Blinks, and a Sweet Love Kid. Wee Blinks especially looks neat displayed next to the CPK dolls (I've two of those now. A single ponytail pacifier girl with dark hair and eyes, and a dark eyed brown Koosa cat). I got a 30s or 40s composition doll today. She was on sale for ten dollars at the vintage sale we had at the farmers market where I work, and she's a big one, with a wig. Her eyes still work, though her cry doesn't. Please forgive the off topic comment, I'm just really excited.
