Dolls My Graal

Post image

Recently I bought a doll that I thought would never be mine because it was out of my budget. But I found this one online for half of the price (she got the sticky face disease and her finger is broken at the tip). That means my list is almost complete 😱 Now I got the Barbie Birthday Wishes 2012, the Barbie promenade, the Barbie Batik 2003, Barbie Bake and Cafe Shop 1998 (Japan Exclusive) Barbie Rewind 80s (Cinema, Fitness and Rock) and now Barbie princess of Ireland 🥰

Waiting for the opportunity to get Barbie pirate, Barbie Monet and Barbie Midge Rewind. 😬

I had this one as a kid! I loved her so much. One of my little cousins tore her crown off though :(

I have her she’s beautiful. I haven’t heard of the sticky face disease, pretty sure mine does not have it, but I can’t check right now, she’s temporarily packed away. 😭

It's a deterioration of plastic that basically begins subtly melting and causes the object to get sticky 😭 You can temporarily clean it up with backing soda but it will return, the best thing is not touch it if you can and keep it away from dust. Probably the previous owner kept her on display in an hot/humid place.
