I’m starting to take pictures to document some of the families and friend groups in my collection. Took this first one yesterday.
This is Lena, single mom to Sofia, 4 and a half, and Matteo, who just turned 1.
We're almost there. I have survived the work week ...almost. Who is ready for the weekend?
So I got Robbie (Autistic Barbie) yesterday, and decided she REALLY needed a made to move body. Found what people recommended in this sub (the wheelchair Barbie with service dog) and went to target today to get her! I also got a Clawdeen off of EBay a few days ago, and she’s missing a leg. So I figured this was the most optimal solution!
I’ll be making a proper seatbelt for Clawdeen later so she sits all nice on her own since that plastic holder is too big for her.
I’m so happy Robbie can sit on my desk now.
Anyone have any name ideas for the girl in the middle? I was thinking Lily, maybe.
Diya is hanging out on my desk doing what I wish I could be doing today instead of working.
I’ve been waiting for my local Walmart to get her in stock for months! (I try to only get Barbies in person so I can make sure they aren’t damaged first)
Everybody say hello to Robbie!
This is my first post, hello! I only started collecting Barbies in January of this year, and I'm having so much fun! I started by buying autistic Barbie and now I'm all in. Photographing, redressing, rebodying, posing, accessorising, hairstyling - i love it all. RIP my bank account. I'm trying to be strict and limit my collection as I have very limited storage space and want to be able to display them all at the same time. Dorothea (as I have named her) here is 4 out of 26 - one Barbie for each letter of the Latin alphabet.
Since I first saw her box outfit I had the feeling that she would like late 80s/early 90s style frills-and-bows fashion. I like to change the clothes on my dolls frequently, but I think she'll stay in this dress I found in Vinted for a while ❤️ I don't know the origins of her clothes or accessories, unfortunately. If you do, feel free to share.
All my dolls have names and lore. This girl is named Dorothea Flores, and she's from the Philippines. She's very outgoing, confident, and encouraging. She loves uplifting her friends, modelling, collecting over-the-top vintage fashions, and boba 🧋 she doesn't mind the extra attention her sparkly prosthesis brings her from people, because it means she gets the opportunity to explain to how to be more respectful towards amputees.
Picture of Mini-me Barbie with her new drum set. Mini-me is enjoying making music - she is wearing a Rockers outfit from 4 decades ago while playing on these drums from 2017. As I said earlier, I am rebuilding Barbie and the Rockers with old and new members. I"m keeping 4 original members and adding 4 new ones--including 2 disabled Barbies. Alt text. 1st picture: Image of a disabled Barbie playing drums. Barbie has long black hair, big black eyes and a pink prosthetic leg sitting in a hot pink chair with pink and yellow drumsticks in front of a blue and pink drum set. The Barbie is wearing a hot pink and neon yellow outfit from the 1980s that includes a hot pink hair pom poms on one side. She has pink lipstick. The drums are blue with hot pink accents. The big drum says "Barbie ROCKERS" on it. 2nd picture: Features colorful drum set that says "Barbie ROCKERS" on front.
