as far as dolls go, i started out with Blythe... then i got into mini lalaloopsy as dolls-for-the-dolls sort of thing I have been collecting blythe for about a year and a half so far and have somewhere in the number of 40 dolls? too many... i also have, i think, 3 petite blythes and a middie blythe. <3 oh, i also have a few dollcenas... like, four i think? i just got into collecting monster high dolls before halloween and i'm not sure how many i have.... hmmm... 10 or so i think? i originally started the mh line as halloween decor but found out how much fun they are to pose and display... so i've added a few more than expected and hope to get into customizing them soon! what other dolls to you collect?

I also collect BJDs. Over the years I've owned 21 dolls. I am currently down to two though. A few rough spots financially the past few years has made me downsize my collection in a huge way. Thats why I absolutely fell in love with MH. They're jointed like my BJDs and WAAAAAAAY cheaper! Plus, their clothes are adorbs!!!

I collect mini-Lalaloopsys. I hadn't thought of them being dolls for larger dolls, but that is SUCH a great idea!
I also collect Disney Princess/Heroine dolls and their male counterparts. Only interested in one of each character though, except for Ariel which I wanted as a mermaid and as a human.

Monster High are actually the only dolls I collect as of yet. Part of why they caught my eye is that they have the expressive poseability of BJDs, or close to it, without costing bajillions. That's something I'd never seen before in playline dolls. I've been interested in BJDs for years now but haven't been able to talk myself into buying one.
I do have one of the Disney Animators Collection dolls (Tiana) and might slowly accumulate more. They're so cute and well made! I want to work designing and sculpting toys one day; I see dolls and toys as art, and I really appreciate the well-designed ones.

I've got a few Bratz and Barbies. I don't actively collect either but occasionally I've seen one on sale or at the thrift store that I really liked and picked it up.

I don't have anything I really collect as in "I NEED THEM ALL" but I do buy a lot of toys. I just get ones I like, which... is a lot. I've got a How To Train Your Dragon figures hanging around my desk, my bookshelf has a section covered in pokemon, my little ponies, and lego guys. I also like to buy GI Joe shaped guys because I'm into modding and they're the best guy dolls I can find.

I mainly collect bjd's and Pullips, and I have one 11cm obitsu and a mini ddung. Gah, and now I'm throwing in MH dolls again; I need a doll room to house everything >_<
bewilderness and prawnlegs: you'll be sure to remember us when you guys get picked up by Mattel or Hasbro okay? ;D

ACK! Why won't it end? I just found the Lalaloopsy littles dolls, and the collector doll (Suzette) which I WAAAANNNNNT! OMG, my boyfriend is going to KIIIILLLL MEEEE! Prawnlegs Ddungs are incredibly cute! Although I wish they were pose-able like MH dolls. I actually tried to make a hybrid ddung with a 11cm obitsu body; didn't work out too well. Ddung's neck opening is too big.

I collected Pullips and Dals a few years ago and have quite a few stored up on the top shelf of my closet.
I would love to sell the majority of them off (pretty much all of them except for my favorite Dal, Sooni) because I never take them out of their boxes anymore, but I am just so terrible with the internet that I don't even know where I would start trying to upload them. Maybe one day, I'll get around to it.

I have a small collection of Liv Dolls that I bought last year (maybe 10 or so). I got them because of their poseablity and wigs.
Mostly i just collect MLP though. And I'm hopeing to get a few MH dolls soon. I absolutely love their unique characteristics. Totally opposite of barbie lol

I've got three resin BJDs (plus a head) and two Hujoo Freyas from Junkyspot. Monster High dolls are the only fashion doll/kid-friendly doll collection I'm into, though once in a while I find myself attracted to a Disney doll in passing. (I've also been tempted by Tonner's Evangeline Ghastly, though I never wound up buying one)
I also collect all kinds of miniature anything, so my dolls have chairs and food and toys and such...
(and MLP)
