Welcome!
This site contains information for anyone interested in the greatest doll of all time BARBIE! I've been collecting for 10 years and I have acquired much information about my favourite doll and would like to share it along with some pictures of my collection. My name is Michelle, I live in Canada and I am a member of the Barbie Collectors Club of Alberta. I'm not an expert on the subject but I feel I have researched it thoroughly and would like to share the information I've gained with fellow collectors. I know as of late I have not been updating this site. Now I will try and update it as much as possible. Thanks for your patience!

#1 #2 Barbies? What is that about?
When Barbie first came out the original ponytail Barbies were numbered from 1-5. The #1 Barbie came out in 1959 and had white irises, blue liner and holes in her feet, the #2 Barbie was exactly the same and came out in 1959 but without holes in her feet. The #3 Barbie came out in 1960 and had blue irises and more gentley curved eyebrows also in 1960 the #4 Barbie was produced which was made of a new vinyl that retains its colour over time. The last of the ponytail Barbies is the #5 doll which was made 1961 and had a new hair texture and a hollow body.

Feature Doll of the Month
Our feature doll for November is the new, exquisitely done Barbie as Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Fans of both the books and the movies will love this very well done doll. Her attire and face paint are very authentic and even some friends of mine who are extremely enthusiastic stic about the Lord of the Rings were impressed. They said that usually toys, dolls and figurines based on the characters are poorly done. The things that impressed them were the small details such as the shell necklace she wears, the mash in her dress, her long pale hair and skin and especially her pointed ears. Whether your a fan (the movie profits show there are millions) or you just like beautiful, detailed dolls, this one is the choice for you! A picture of this doll is to the side.
