Little Apple Dolls Unboxings After 20-ish Years

Collecting these in my teens, my goal was to get myself settled in a place of my own before unboxing them for display. After 15 years of constantly relocating, beginning with Faslane Peace Camp as a 16 year old & ending by buying a place with my husband at the age of 30, I couldn't wait to get them out for show. Finances & the cost of the stands I wanted meant I only liberated the first 9. Was reminded of my end goal a couple of days ago; bought the remaining stands I needed (they'll arrive later today), cleaned out the dusty cabinets, obtained lighting for them, & began to unbox my final 7 dolls - in time for my 40th birthday.
I still look out for the odd affordable doll to complete my collection but, having ended production years ago, affordable they are not...

Wow, I saw this post on Mastadon. This is quite an impressive display.

It's certainly been a long time coming 😉☺️
