News and Gossip

Once you have been bitten by the collecting bug, it's hard to know where to go for the latest on doll releases, shelf dates, quality, style, and prices. Since there are many great resources on the web, I will not repeat the excellent job that these other websites have done.


Try these pages on the web for all the latest gossip and shelf sightings:

DeeDee's Mad About that Doll

Vicky's Home on the Net


Also, try the online version of

Barbie Bazaar
a magazine devoted to collecting the Plastic Princess.



Miller's Fashion Doll Magazine, a competitor of Barbie Bazaar, sold to the magazine Doll Reader. Formerly known simply as Miller's, Millers Fashion Doll reported on new Mattel products, vintage products, doll artists, and other fashion dolls such as Gene and Dawn.

If you visit toy and doll shows, you might want to pick up some back issues of Miller's and Miller's Fashion Doll for research and information.

Both Barbie Bazaar and Miller's feature articles on Doll Artists, restoration, customizing, and sewing for your dolls.

Barbie Bazaar should be available for purchase at most bookstores, newsstands, and stores such as WalMart.
