Doll mad Kathy Libraty is barely visible amongst her astonishing collection of antique dolls - worth a whopping £1.23m. Every inch of the 52-year-old's home is filled with over 1000 of the figures she has been collecting for over 25 years. Mum Kathy is so obsessed with dolls she now has to smuggle new editions to her hoard into her home - past her husband who said 'no more'. But along with pretty daughter Elisa, 19, even hubbie Frank, 52, gets roped in to helping her repair and organise her vast assortment. Kathy's dolls - ranging from two inches to over three feet high - come from all over the world including countries like Germany, France and the Far East. Some individual models are over 170 years old and all cost between £30,000 and a meagre 60p. Included in the range are famous figures like Henry VIII and his six wives, Victorian dolls from the 1900s, voodoo dolls, and even some from the 1880s used to smuggle opium.
