Natural Hair Barbie Doll Post: www.naturalchica.com Twitter: twitter.com Blog: naturalchica.blogspot.com Facebook Fan Page www.facebook.com One day while I was browsing the web, I came across images of Barbie dolls that appeared to have natural hair! I shook my head in disbelief, and determined to find out more about the doll artist behind these beautiful Barbie dolls. I must say the “little girl in me” was thrilled when I came across Tabloach Productions, the company headed by doll artist, Ms. Loanne Hizo Ostlie. The gallery of her creations was endless and beautifully diverse. I am so honored that she has taken the time to share with us more about her creations and life as a doll artist.

I have some used Barbie dolls, all in pretty good condition, but they aren′t vintage or anything all from around 2000-2004. I also have some clothing for them, a few sets, and some cars. I also have a really nice big house with a elevator that works. I was just wondering how much you think some of this would go for, since I’m trying to raise some money to help get a Toy Poodle. Thanks!
The barbie dolls I have are:
Barbie Dolls of the World Gift Set, Collector’s Edition. You get a Japan, Norway, and India doll. The dolls are in mint condition and have never been removed from the box.
I used to play with Barbie dolls as a child. As an adult, I’ve been able to resist the special collectible Barbie dolls that are made especially for adults–until this year. 2009 is the 50th anniversary of the release of the first Barbie doll and I purchased two 50th anniversary dolls within a few months of each other. One was the Bathing Suit Barbie which harkens back to the first Barbie doll in terms of swimsuit design (the Bathing Suit Barbie uses a striped swimsuit just like the first Barbie except the Bathing Suit Barbie wears a two-piece while the original Barbie only wore a one-piece), hairstyle, and sideways eye glance. The other was the Generations of Dreams Barbie who wears a stunning gown whose graphics are derived from Barbie print ads over the last 50 years. It’s literally a History of the Barbie Doll in one dress. The two dolls are so gorgeous that I couldn′t bear to keep them in the boxes. (I know I violated the Barbie fandom’s dictum of never removing a doll from its box but I really couldn′t resist.) I took photos of them and I liked the photos so much that I decided to create a little slideshow out of them. Well, I hope you have fun watching this.
I’m guessing I have somewhere around 50 Barbie dolls that my mom had collected over the years that I am now trying to liquidate. I don’t know much about them except that most of them are probably from the early to late 80’s. None are true vintage from the 60’s or anything. Where can I quickly find a list or group of interested collectors??? Thank you!
BY THE WAY…I’M LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER OTHER THAN EBAY. I USE EBAY ALL THE TIME AND LOVE IT BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A GOOD TOOL FOR THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF ITEMS SINCE THESE ARE NOT THE SUPER OLD OR SUPER VALUABLE BARBIES. MOST OF THE $$ GETS EATEN UP IN THE SHIPPING AND I’D LIKE TO KEEP IT LOCAL OR SHIP THEM ALL IN BULK. THANX!
I bought my little cousin a Barbie Doll thinking she was like 6-7 years old, come to find out shes 9 going on 10. So now I am uncertain that she will like the barbie and think its for like little girls. Around what age do most girls stop playing with Barbies and dolls and stuff? I can’t remember what age I stopped. Also I want to know if I’m safe with the doll or if I would be better getting her something older girls like. Thx.
