My Poppy Parker Collection

I was looking through my collection of Poppy Parker dolls and realized that most of my Poppy Parker dolls are brunettes. I have 3 blond dolls: the blond doll from the Looks A Plenty, the white-blond Off-Beat Poppy Parker and Midnight Decadence Poppy Parker which I am planning to sell.

Below are some photos of the dolls in my collection. One of my latest purchases is the Coney Island Saturday Poppy Parker. I got her nude but managed to find a Barbie sailor outfit that works just as well.

Pictured below is Coney Island Saturday Poppy Parker with Through the Woods Poppy Parker.

 

The other dolls in my collection are pictured below.

My last 3 dolls are Springtime in Paris (planning to sell), Co-ed Cutie and Gardens of Versailles Poppy Parker. I can’t wait to redress the latter but haven’t found the right outfit yet:)

Barbie® Dia De Muertos Doll

Dia De Muertos is a two-day holiday in early November when families gather to celebrate the lives of their departed loved ones. The Barbie Dia De Muertos doll honors the traditions and symbols often seen throughout this time. Barbie™ is wearing a long, ruffled, embroidered dress which is embellished with heart and butterfly details. Her face is painted in a traditional skull mask, and she wears a crown with monarch butterflies and bright marigolds. Price: US$75 on barbie.mattel.com. Mattel is currently sold out but you can leave your contact details with them and they will notify you once new stocks come in.
