I appreciate the last part of the video. I think if people were not trying to keep up with the Jones then we all could all live a more satisfying and fulfilled life like you are. I am like the idea of living within your means.
It's so true. I decided when I went back to school to change careers that I would still live like I did when I was a teacher, so that I would be able to do all the things I dreamed of doing when I was a kid. Thank you for watching and for your feedback 💜
Well, since my entire RESIN BJD collection consists of mostly AtelierMomoni, they're the most valuable in my collection... LOL I know how much your collection is worth and I cannot believe you were able to narrow down a top ten...it's a great video! Can't wait to see the Most Sentimental Value video!🌟
I miss watching her ❤ I used to always watch her when I was young ❤❤ she is what got me really into collecting and more into it and to not be ashamed ❤❤❤❤ 😊
Nice Video! I love your videos . You have a great taste in dolls. I have been collecting dolls for years but I am not good organizing my collection. I would like if you do a video with tips of how to organize dolls. I wonder if you do wigs or clothes for your dolls ,also will be nice if you talk a little bit about how to do wigs and accesories. Dolls are pieces of Art and your doll collection is a reflection of your taste. PD people whi follow your channel should not be asking personal questions about your living or how can you afford your dolls. I think is disrespectful and is a clear sign of lack of boundaries.Anyway Thanks for your videos 😉
Thank you so much 💜 that's a great idea and I will try to put together a video like that by the end of the month. I'm not *super* organized but I do have a system so I can show what I do to maybe give some inspiration. It's funny you mention about people asking because 3 hours after your comment, someone commented about how do I afford these, guess they didn't watch til the end 😂
@@MunecasPoupeesDolls Some people don't realizes that their comments are annoying. Your channel is about adult doll collection which I see as a form of Art. People should mind their own business . 😉
I collect jewelry, and buy and sell. However, now you have got me interested in Dolls! My absolute fave is your number one. Gorgeous from head to toe! Thanks for sharing.💕
Oh my gosh, I love your collection. I just started getting back into it.. I have Bratz dolls because I love them so much, and I just purchased from the penny proud cartoon, Penny, proud herself and her best friend Dijana. I also just purchased an L O L doll which is beautiful. Your collection is outstanding and the very last one is my favorite., but I’d have to say the one that is my favorite is the one with the biscuit colored skin. But they are all beautiful.❤️
Thanks for being so honest. I don't love dolls, but I love seeing your enthusiasm for them so it's always fun to watch your videos. One suggestion I have is maybe telling what year they were made, I don't know anything about dolls but I it is cool to see older ones that are still worth money, like that red headed one. Thanks, God bless you and your husband
I LOVE this video. I have often wondered about the information you covered in this video. I love your candor! It adds to your charm!!! Thanks for this video and your more recent answering 10 questions. Keep them coming. Loved it
Such a lovely selection of dolls. You have a very thoughtful husband by the way . Hard to pick a fave because they are all special in their own way. I do like Little Darling and The Popovy Sisters’ Dolls are in a class of their own. Tfs
The Popovy doll is my absolute favorite. In the early 1980s I went into a doll shop in NJ and was blown away by a small collection of Lenox porcelain dolls designed by June Amos Grammar. For me at the time, spending such a huge amount of money for a doll seemed ridiculous -- but what can I say? I fell in love with her. AND!!! The designer was there in the shop, so she signed the back of my doll. The name of the doll is Maggie, she has dark auburn hair and is wearing the most precious pale pink cotton lawn dress with lace overlay. Her suede shoes are the same pink with little pearly buttons to fasten them. I have no idea what she might be worth at this time -- I still treasure her because she looks almost exactly like my daughter when she was a little girl. (BTW, love your videos!)
The joy you have in your doll collection can be seen in your videos. We all work or have worked hard to maintain our lifestyle, and the savings is the key! I retired several years ago, and my husband should be retiring soon if I can talk him into it. He has a sensational filled with the most creative m dedicated and good-hearted employees that I have ever seen or heard of in my life, and each day he enjoys those people. I found a brand new Dianna Effner Mary Had A Little Lamb doll, and the person selling it says it is a vinyl Little Darling doll. If you know anything about it, please let me know. Thank you for another delightful video!💕
Loved watching your video. I am a new collector of trading cards, dolls, cars, hot wheels and etc. I am still researching and trying to prove my dolls. I have 3 1980 Cabbage patch dolls in mint condition, American girl Molly, a beautiful vintage glass eyes and rooted hair black girl and etc. Sand
Your beautiful kitty is the BEST by far!!! He is so precious looking. That baby kitty would be my choice hands down!!!! Always keep him happy and lots of love!!!! Thanks for all the great info and time you gave to all of us!!! Bye for now! ❤🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹❤❤❤❤
Awww I love the Popovy Sister’s dolls! Wow! I thank you for giving me a lesson on how to save for dolls sounds like a great plan... if I can stick to it! Lol Im seriously going to try it!!! I love that you are such a true collector and doll fan!! ❤️🥰😍
Thanks for the honest and informative presentation. I think the only doll of yours I'd ever heard of was the Popovy doll. You have an amazing collection of beautiful dolls. I completely agree with you about having older paid-off cars, a small house, and living below your means. It allows you to save for the important things like retirement, travel, and of course, dolls!
All 10 of your dolls are just stunning and so beautiful. I buy a lot of TLC dolls (antique, vintage and modern), sometimes they are mismarked or end up being easier to clean up then thought, but I never tried pricing any of them. Modern new bought at the moment I think my most expensive one is my beautiful Evangeline on the 101rt body.
I have a friend that's very into antique dolls and she's been sharing some stuff with me about them, some of them are worth a fortune! I like buying vintage dolls a lot (like my Nancy, and I love Crissy dolls), and fixing them up is very fulfilling. Is that the Wilde/Tonner Evangeline? I always wanted one of her, I've always thought she is stunning! Thanks for watching 💜
@@MunecasPoupeesDolls Yes she is. Join a Tonner group if you really decide to buy one. I also love my Chrissy dolls (the only doll you can guarantee use a light medium flat iron on wet hair to get rid of fizzys). I even found an AA one I only paid 75cents for. Is your Nancy a Nancy Ann doll or another kind?
DINK here too! Never heard that term before Haha. My doll fund doubles as a holiday fund but its lovely to get new dolls! Not big into popovy personally but that one you showed is very beautiful! Gorgeous face
Thank you for sharing! I have a small collection of four bjds, 3 porcelain and one resin. Three are from Russia and one from Hong Kong. Just notice tonight that on one of my porcelain dolls, her finger had fallen off and she did not fall, to my knowledge. I do have a special glue and will now need to use it for the first time. Oh well. Bought these dolls to design clothes for and almost completed one outfit but will need to make an effort to put the time aside to sew. I am not experienced with doll clothes although I sew. My favorite of your dolls is the Popovy doll. My dolls are fashion dolls, one half the price of your Popovy one.
The Russian doll makers are masters at porcelain BJDs and I'm sure yours are all stunning! I hope you're able to fix the one whose finger fell off, I've fixed a few resin fingers with regular super glue before and you couldn't even tell after. Thank you for watching 💜
Muñecas, Poupees, and Dolls - I did not realize the fingers break on the resin ones. I thought that was the purpose of making them. Thanks for the information on that. Also, have you used EBay to resell your dolls to buy others? Are there any other sites that are better for resell? Etsy isn’t great for resale so it seems. Thank you!
I looooved the wooden doll! (forget the name) You have such a sweet husband to surprise you with dolls! How lucky are you! Share the secret to snagging a husband like that! Lol. Loved your collection! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Hi, I'm amazed by your knowledge and collection. I have an infant doll from the Lee Middleton Doll Company. She has "# oBobo2(2) . . . by Reva" on the back of her head. I cannot find any information about her online. Do you know anything about her origin or value? She was a gift to me.
AMAZING..IM JUST NOW FINDING OUT ABOUT DOLLS AT 49 BECAUSE OF MY 26 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I DIDN'T GROW UP WITH TOYS OTHER THAN LEGOS AND PLAYING OUTSIDE SO IM WAY BEHIND!!!
They are all very beautiful. I particularly like the two chocolate skinned ones. Please could you list them in the description? Thanks again for sharing.
I loved #9, but I didn't catch the name of doll/maker. Could you do a written list of some of the makers? You have a "creature" doll that I saw in a video of your doll room that I just love, but I couldn't get the name of her though I listened several times trying to capture the information. I think she was blue... But my memory isn't that great. She was in the first few shelves... Lol. Love the variety in your collection.
My 2 favorites of your dolls are, first Little Darling doll painted by Lana Dobbs, I also have one painted by Lana....she’s beautiful. The second one I love is Emily by Ana Salvador which I also own. Love the Pongratz dolls too! Thank you for this very fun video!
Thank you 💜 You're absolutely correct about money management, making smart financial decisions is crucial when you want to spend money on non-necessities.
I do love this doll list! I'm looking forward to seeing your Favorites List, too. With all respect and as a PSA, always remember to check the 'Advanced Search' on eBay for what items have recently sold for, rather than valuing them at what a seller may be asking. 8^)
Thank you! I do always do a completed search, but there weren't any even completed ones 😩 Literally the only one I could find was listed at 900€ with 11 watchers...knowing they used to sell for around $850 USD I went with it 💜
@@MunecasPoupeesDolls It sounds like you know your values! You were super lucky to find that Nancy in a Goodwill. My experience is that Goodwill is putting all their vintage dolls online now. I almost never see any in the shops.
@@tygerstripes3752 they're hard to find here too, this was back in 2008-2010 when I found her, every once in awhile I'll still find something good but it's very hard anymore. A friend of mine who lives in Chicago finds awesome dolls ALL the time! I'm going to visit him one of these days just so we can go thrifting 🤣
@@MunecasPoupeesDolls I thought I'd add here: The doll I paid the most for is my carrottop spitcurl Uneeda Dollikin. She's wearing a green gown specific to Uneeda 2S dolls. I won her with a $600 bid on eBay about 8 years ago, but I don't know if that price would hold up. I've seen others go for much less.
Your popovy doll is so stunning! I can understand why you have her :) I could never have the heart to spend so much money on a doll like her, but they are absolulty works of art. I have one Original Monthly YoSD bjd by Dollsoom that I think can be sold for a high price, since he's almost fullset and hard to come by but I have no idea what that price is. I only know that I will not sell for cheap, if one day that should happen.
Your dolls are all so gorgeous. I love looking at bjds, but I'm not sure if I'd ever buy one just because I think their joints are very ugly to look at, as I prefer dolls with a more seamless look. But there are some limited ringdolls that have me tempted sometimes lol
interesting , I do like all your bjd's…....my top three expensive dolls are from Volks/Japan ….one of those my first abjd ever is one I would like to take with me to my grave lol...he cost 1K 16 years ago , is the one I would grab out of a burning house and I have also traveled with him ...but I have many many dolls from other countries and makers....I always laugh and tell people that the small bjd's are not necessarily any cheaper in cost and can even be more expensive as in the case of my EvetheCat a very expensive doll pet/photo prop …..years ago people used to ask me how much I was spending on a doll and I would just answer ,the same cost as a refrigerator , meaning they could then use their imagination and knowledge about appliances haha ..and if a man asked me how much I spent I would just say the same as rims on 4 car wheels/tires...…..I never begrudge how anyone spends their money because there are so many hobbies and collections ...dolls have brought me a world of enjoyment .. will look forward to your most sentimental list...one of my most sentimental is a OOAK fullest bjd that sat on ebay for weeks and I finally saved enough to get her for starting bid -1/4th the original company price because people were all buying/ordering newer dolls and she is a true treasure ,quite the elegant orphan
I love your answer to people who ask...I have often thought what would I do in a fire... although they're insured some are really not replaceable so I think I would open the window and throw out as many as I could, once I knew my cats were safe somewhere. I agree with the spending, as long as it's not negatively affecting your life and the hobby makes you happy, go for it. People spend millions on Picassos and other antiquities, my stuff is just a little more withing reach 😁 thanks for watching 💜
Nikki Britt is my favorite in your collection. Trinketbox and Little Darlings are on Nikki's heels. I was thinking of purchasing a Trinketbox and a Little Darling. Instead, I purchased Artsy. I absolutely appreciate your expansive collection. Your doll journey is quintessential.
Thank you so much 💜 I have not heard of Artsy, I need to check those out! I love all the dolls so it's always so hard to decide where to put those dolly dollars! Thank you for watching 🥰
@@shavonn923 ahhhh! I have a Neverfull that I got about 9 years ago, I don't carry it too often anymore as I've switched to a cross body but there's something about having a really gorgeous handbag 😍
@@MunecasPoupeesDolls Here is a good laugh. I was going to attend the AG Benefit Sale this past July. The sales are well worth the travel and money I would have spent. Instead, I purchased Grateful. Ended up at AG store spending additional $$$ at a later date. The cross body is ideal. I use mine when in the park (WDW) almost weekly. Great for hand and arm movements.
I like your numbers 6 & 3 best. I suppose my most financially valuable dolls are my Life of Faith dolls. I look forward to seeing your most sentimental dolls. I'm sure it's a much harder list to put together.
Thank you! The Life of Faith dolls are super beautiful and very hard to find...I've only seen one in real life in all my years of collecting. The sentimental ones I've finally got the list together, but it was MUCH harder to come up with, I feel some sort of sentiment towards so many of my dolls 🥰
Your Anna Salvador girl is super cute! And your Popovy girl is lovely - I don't generally like them, but I like her. I know you like Spanish artists a lot, do you have any Merrydollround girls? 💕 Nuria is definitely my favourite artist and her dolls are sculpted so beautifully.
Thank you! I don't technically have any MDR girls yet...I ordered some of her Blind Box toys when they became available and if she's at Dolly Day I may very well add one of hers to the crew. I really like Bunyol 💜
You're such a lovely lady, thank you for sharing on your chanel. Love your chanel & the Popovy dolls, please do more videos on the Pashapasha dolls, thanks 🙂
The dolls I have that would have been most expensive when new (but they're now old old dolls, and rather worn) are the 60cm Obitsu, and a Bobobie Lu. I was gifted the Obitsu nearly twenty years ago, and she was third hand then.
Minor detail but I just was really impressed and surprised by the dark skinned beauty of a doll that you have in your collection. I just appreciate that so much. This video was extremely fascinating ^-^
You're in good company 😁 A friend once told me how much she spent on daycare and I was astounded! I have a beautiful niece and 2 wonderful nephews that I get to spoil, and they keep my mom happy 🤣
I expected the Popovy dolls to be expensive, but NOT THAT EXPENSIVE 🙈🙈🙈 it's pure art and one of the most beautiful things I have seen but that's too much money for me 😂😂😂. Maybe you can pay in parts ??? But I thinks it's totally worth considering how they are made.
LOL! I think they will let you pay in parts but it's so expensive to send a wire ($45 for me) that I would rather save up and wait to pay them all at once. You can get one as low as $800 but that is nude and unpainted. Thank you for watching 💜
I've heard of this shop "Fernie Brae" from a friend, and although the store is beautiful, she told me they don't carry many dolls actually... I'd be curious to find out how it is now over there? Love these characters! Favorite doll: Ziya by Youpla dolls
The Fernie Brae is definitely not a doll shop and I'm not sure they have ever carried any dolls ... That's probably very confusing given that I'm talking about it here on my channel 🤣 they carry different artwork all fae and magical related 💜
Im fairly new to bjd's and some of these more expensive dolls. Mine is probably my designer complete Rick (fairyland feeple65) he was about 1350 usd i believe
Im not sure but i wanted full designer set so was a bit more. I havent made any face up friends yet lol. He was in stock at Denver Doll Emporium when i started looking for a male doll. My bjd rabbithole opened up because i started "looking for a boy smart doll" lol
Thank you for this video. What is the name of the Doll designer of your 2. favorit one? Nicci brawd? I am from Germany and couldn't find the website to find some of theses dolls. Thank you so much and take care.
I like #10 meadow; little darling and popovy sister's doll from this video. They are very very beautiful! My top 4 - Nikki Britt mouse Poppy (not speshial, basic doll) 630$ (I want her very much); lati yellow Luna from Cinderella 550$; minifee Mirwen more then 500$ (l can't remember right cost); Atelier momoni miniReira 485$ Love your doll family)
Oh I love all the dolls on your top 4! Nikki Britt and Atelier Momoni are my two favorite artists, and I love Minifees! I don't have a Lati Yellow but I think they are really gorgeous dolls. Thank you for sharing 💜
Get their email address from their website and send them an email, then they'll send a price list. They're actually 20% right now, it's the time to buy!
@@MunecasPoupeesDolls thank you for taking the time to answer and thanks for showing off some of your collection in the first place. Lots of variety and interesting, pretty dolls. Neat to see them in more than just a picture.
