I am so happy, because the day finally arrived! My new Tokidoki® Barbie® doll arrived safely to be welcomed as part of my doll collection. I am so very excited to share this with all of you and to share my honest opinion about this doll that just came out.

As some of you may know, I love collecting dolls, among them barbie(R) dolls. This week has been a little chaotic, because in celebration of Tokidoki (R)´s 10th anniversary, both Tokidoki(R) and Barbie(R) joined super designer power to bring a new doll, which I personally have been anxiously waiting for. I am sure that collectors from both brands had been waiting for a while to see if the rumors were true. I know I was! The date was set for September 1st 2015.

(Originally posted on October 15th, 2013. This was a review that I made for this doll when it came out in 2013. I am in the verge of merging my previous blog with this one, and since I will be reviewing more dolls of this collection in the near future, I thought it pertinent to repost this review here. I will be deleting the old blog eventually and I know that a lot of people love this doll, reason why I wanted to share it here. It is easier this way than to go back and forth from one blog to the other. Enjoy)

Fabulously Immortalized

It just makes it easier than going back and forth. Enjoy)

A Spook-tacular Sensation

After two years of hunting for this doll, I finally made her part of my beloved collection. I love that I can be working and turn to my left, see my doll display case, and there she is, inspiring beauty to my day.

Ever since I was little, I started collecting different things; trading cards, stamps, coins, books, comic-books, and toys. Among those toys I had action figures and dolls. Most of the dolls that I collected and continue to collect are Barbie® Dolls, because it was something that I feel connects me with my mother's childhood. My first dolls included some vintage dolls my mom had, plus my own. I was taught by my mom that if I really take care of my toys, that one day my children could enjoy them too. Worried about how economy tends to drastically change and affect entire families, I thought that collecting different things added value to your goods. You ended up having something that in case of an emergency you could sell, and let someone else enjoy.
