    Jian Yang thank you for sharing your story of collecting Barbie. I am an adult collector and I started collecting for my daughter when she was a little girl. Unfortunately she was not into Barbie, but I was, so I kept collecting. I have been collecting now for 40 years. I also enjoy collecting and making Barbie doll houses. Yeah, I am a nerd. I love your collection! I love your doll room. I have to make myself stop due to storing of my Barbies and Barbie houses. Did you have to make yourself stop? Be blessed.

    i usually only buy the dolls i like also. the barbie basics collection, the extras, fashionistas, LOOKS doll lines, are the only ones where almost every single one was or is a must have. usually when i dont choose a doll its because i have too many that already look too much a like. for examples: too many dolls with the same face sculpt and skintone, when that happens i feel like they are just reselling me the same doll just repackaged . to many dolls with same hair style, and too many dolls from the same line of dolls.

    I am gay & collector, but I really do agree with him that just bcuz a man collects dolls (dolls are actually TOYS) - doesnt mean he is gay right away lol.
    In general, toy designers are much more straight male than gays, as it requires great knowledge of mehanics & programing to make a toy - its not just gay hair styling & dressing up what most people believe in.
