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:
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.
