There are two things to remember when you are looking to buy dolls online - firstly, there's a difference between buying antique dolls and modern dolls online.

Modern dolls such as the the Barbie collection can be easily purchased online and generally are pretty durable to be sent through postal or direct delivery means. On the other hand, antique dolls can be a bit of a challenge if you're buying them online especially as they compass a long history and different types have there own uniqueness especially in the clothing department.

In recent years, buying dolls online over platforms such as Ebay has become extremely popular and the great thing to keep in mind is that while pricing will determine overall purchase, buying online has some big advantages than going to a physical outlet and making a purchase. The emphasis is on deals and dolls deals online are big business. More importantly, you as the buyer can be in a strong position to grab a great deal especially if you're following auctions.

There are basically two types of doll enthusiasts - those who revel in the enjoyment of enjoying eras gone by with antique doll collecting and those who are more modern orientated or people buying for kids.

Buying Antique Dolls Tips

Here's a few things to keep in mind when buying an antique doll. These tips can save you a lot of frustration.

#1. Because they are older there is always a concern that they may be hiding some issues. Things to look for include cracks which can put a dampener on your purchase. Especially look for hairline cracks.

#2. If you are buying the doll physically then ask that you can remove things like the hair so you can check beneath. Always remove the body or ask the seller to do it for you. This only makes sense because when you're looking at shelling out hundreds of dollars you want to make sure your purchase isn't flawed.

#3. Make sure the doll is original if that's what it has been advertised as. This can be difficult to check online and that's why buying through platforms such as Ebay are great in that you are protected in many areas from purchasing a dud.

#4. Also, buying the complete original doll and by complete we mean it has it's original clothing intact can be important. It depends how badly you want it but inexperienced collectors should be aware that replacing parts and clothing can be expensive. It's almost like buying new parts for a motor vehicle - they always seem to be priced over the top.

Since bursting onto the toy market in a black and white swimsuit on March 9 1959, Barbie has certainly made her mark and is undoubtedly queen amongst dolls even after more than forty years of life.

Created by Ruth Handler and marketed by the Mattel toy company, Barbie has successfully moved with the times for almost five decades adopting changing fashions to maintain her place as the top toy doll brand. From nurse and olympic Barbie to president and married Barbie, she has an impressive resume with more than eighty careers and countless costume changes along the way.

As the American dream personified, Barbie has led a very privileged life that most celebrities would envy even today. With a wardrobe to die for, a fleet of cars and even a bespoke swimming pool just some of the trappings of world wide domination and fame. But many collectors are concerned that her days as queen of dolls may be about to end. In 2007, Barbie is still a big fish in a growing pond but now faces stiff competition from new, fresh and energetic doll brands like Bratz which have successfully diversified into multimedia and continue to sell well.

And it appears that Barbie is responding to her competitors with smaller versions of the traditional doll called Barbie Mini Kingdom. At just 6 inches tall this gentle change of direction may be the tip of the iceberg as Mattel moves to strengthen it's position.

As she approaches her 50th birthday, Barbie remains an international phenomenon sold in over 40 countries and a sought after collectors item. As you might expect, Barbie is the best selling doll on Ebay with some rare early examples fetching as much as $10,000. So, for now, Barbie is certainly worthy of a place in any toy collectors catalog, but only time will tell if Barbie dolls can continue to move with the times and maintain their appeal with young girl's on into the 21st century. Even so, I wouldn't like to bet against a Barbie doll being at the top of many Christmas lists in twenty years time.

Barbie has been around since the late 1950's and was an immediate success loved by people of all ages. The company that created Barbie, Mattel, now offers a wide variety of clothing choices, accessory choices and things like jewelry and shoes for the Barbie dolls. There are also new dolls like the male doll, Ken, and the teen doll, Skipper. You can find Barbie playhouses, play kitchens with a Barbie theme and even decorations and furniture with a Barbie theme.

Barbie has gone from being just a doll to being an online phenomenon as well. There are many online Barbie games that let you play dress up with Barbie. People of all ages enjoy these games. You can get Barbie dolled up in fancy clothes for a wedding or prom or in work clothes for her nursing shift or for a casual date with Ken.

You can even use cultural clothing from other places around the world to create interesting and unique looks for Barbie. You can change the hair on Barbie in some of the games. This is a way to learn about the styles and cultures around the world while having fun.

Online Barbie games are not limited to make up and dress up games. You can play more complex games where you and Barbie try to solve a mystery with other Barbie characters in a variety of different situations from underwater adventures with sea creatures of all kinds to tropical beach adventures. The possibilities are limitless when it comes to Barbie games.

The games where you dress up Barbie and change her hair and make up still remain the favorites among younger girls who find it fun to experiment with fashion and play pretend on the computer by making up stories to go with the outfits the pick for Barbie. They can pretend to be grown up like their parents while playing these games. For adults it is more about challenging your mind to come up with the best outfits and it is also a fun way to relax and a good stress relief activity.

Toys are objects fashioned or manufactured purposely for children playing. Toys for children are not only for playing but they also help them to learn. With them they discover their identity, their bodies grow strong, and sometimes they explore relationships, and practice skills they require as adults.

Toys are more than simple amusement; the way that they are used profoundly influence many aspects of life. Toys serve multiple purposes in both humans and animals. They provide entertainment while fulfilling an educational role. Toys for children enhance cognitive behavior and stimulate creativity. They aid in the development of physical and mental skills which are necessary in later life.

One of the simplest toys, a set of simple wooden blocks and trains is also one of the best toys for developing minds. Andrew Watkin, director of marketing for Mega Brands told Investor's Business Daily that, "They help develop hand-eye coordination, math and science skills and also let kids be creative." Other toys like Marbles, jackstones, and balls serve similar functions in child development, allowing children to use their minds and bodies to learn about spatial relationships, cause and effect, and a wide range of other skills as well as those mentioned by Mr. Witkin

Certain toys, such as Barbie dolls and toy soldiers, are often perceived as being more acceptable for one gender than the other. It has been noted by researchers that, "Children as young as 18 months display sex-stereotyped toy choices". Playing with toys stereotyped for the opposite gender sometimes results in negative consequences from parents or fellow children.

Toys for children come in very many different kinds such as dolls, cars, puzzles, collectibles, construction sets, and miniatures and so on. A child who plays with toys grows up with an open mind to learn new things everyday.

Barbie is more than just the hottest fashion icon, coveted collectible, or world famous toy. Barbie is a way a life. She advocates not just women's rights, but the rights of people around the world. She has been everything from a princess and ballerina to a presidential candidate. With a Barbie doll, little girls can live any dream and learn to be strong, powerful women who will one day help shape the world.

Born in 1959, Barbie entered the world at the American International Toy Fair in New York in a fashionable black and white swimsuit and was introduced as a "Teenage Fashion Model." Before then the only dolls for little girls were baby dolls that allowed little girls to play mommy. But with Barbie, they were soon able to dream about being so much more.

In 1961 Ken was introduced to Barbie, soon followed by Midge, Barbie's best friend and Allan, Ken's friend, as well as Barbie's little sister, Skipper. More family members were soon introduced, including the twins Tutti and Todd, Barbie's baby sister and brother. More friends came, followed by horses, cats, dogs, and almost every other pet imaginable. Cars and houses, mansions and motorcycles, not to mention all the clothes and shoes that were soon available for Barbie.

But none of these were given to her by Ken. These weren't Ken's cars, mansions, and jewelry. They were Barbie's, earned by her money from her careers. For little girls this was a glimpse into a world where a woman could have her own life, her own job, and do so without depending on someone else to take care of her. Barbie was able to afford every luxury, clothes from famous designers, and take care of herself all on her own.

Barbie is often seen as a princess or a ballerina, but in her life, she has done so much more. She has been a teacher, a veterinarian, and a dentist. She has joined the army, been an ambassador for peace, a UNICEF diplomat, police officer, firefighter, chef, and a paleontologist. She has not only been a flight attendant, she has also been a pilot! There is no career Barbie - and through her, little girls around the world - could not have if they put their minds to it.

Barbie is not just an American toy. Beloved by children around the world, she has promoted many cultures, be it as a Spanish flamenco dancer, a Viking princess, or a South African woman. Soon each culture will have a Barbie doll to embrace and celebrate their culture, clothing, and women.

But let's not forget the Barbie doll's influence on movies and fashion. Designers vie to dress her, each wanting Barbie to wear their clothing this year. Movies know they've hit it big when Barbie decides to dress as one of their characters. From the Wizard of Oz to Twilight, Barbie has paid homage to them all, even turning her beaming smile to the stories of King Arthur and the plays of Shakespeare.

Barbie has shown little girls around the world that they can be strong, independent women as well as wives and mothers. She has taught them that no job is beyond them, no dream is too out of reach, and that they, too, can be anything they want to be.

Does anyone know the aproximate value of the 1963 Barbie and Midge set complete with the original case??

I have a 1963 Barbie and Midge box set in the original black case. Included in the set is a number of outfits, of many different styles, as well as a mink real mink coat for Barbie. Neither of the dolls have shoes, but they are in good condition (no damage, but clearly have been used)
I was wondering if anyone had any idea how much this set may be worth because I can't seem to find much information regarding this set elsewhere on the internet.
thanks!

If you have a doll shop in your area, you might see if they can give you an idea of the value. Keep in mind that values can vary a lot when it comes to dolls.

You can also check ebay for auctions of Vintage Barbie items. There are other auction sites, but none of them are as popular as ebay.

Barbiecollector.com is all about new & current dolls. There is a showcase, however, that has pictures of vintage dolls & fashions. Some of the pictures are of actual items, others are stock photos, but they can help you to identify & name the fashions, accessories, etc.

The value can vary widely, depending on condition. What one person sees as good condition, another may see as poor condition.

Some of the things collectors look for are:

Hair in good shape, not missing any plugs, not been cut or restyled.

Do the dolls have their original lip & nail color?

Are there missing fingers, toes & are the ears clean? Many vintage dolls have green staining on their ears from the metal earrings reacting to the vinyl heads.

There are several bulletin boards for doll collectors. If you can take pictures & post them, someone at one of the boards may be able to help.

Did or do you now still have your old Barbie dolls and clothes?

How many were or are naked/ My niece seems to when done playing with them keep most of her dolls nude even though she can dress them. While babysitting, i notices there is an ever increasing lack of clothes for every barbie. A lot of her dolls must survive the elements of nature. It does not matter to her that some of them cost more than the regular ones.

either gave them away or still have some in storage. But i think its normal, my younger sister did the same thing with her barbies.
