I love it when you do these videos! Doll collecting should be accessible to everyone no matter what your budget is. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The repainted Monster doll is gorgeous!!

🌷 Thank you Allison for this lovely video 🌷 I think it’s so important to show people that you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on starting a doll collection. Thank you for showing your beautiful collection and the stories behind them. you really made me smile in seeing your joy and enthusiasm for dolls and the doll community 🩷

I have almost all the kruselings except Sophia and the boy. I adore them.

I have Barbies, Rainbow High, Monster High, Paola Reina and a lot of Ruby Red Galleria dolls. See you at BJDC Texas next week. So excited to be going. I feel like a kid before Christmas!

I agree with the bonding by cleaning the doll. I found an Italian omade doll in a thrift store. When I purchased it at $2, I thought I would clean her up and then resell her. I cleaned her up, and there she stands on one of my doll shelves. I also keep wondering if I collect because of missing dolls in my childhood, but since there are others in my family that collect dolls, like my grandmother, maybe that is more of an influence.

I’m glad that Barbie was not the number1 for budget collecting doll while I enjoy this brand. It’s too common for “doll” and think if someone if coming to your channel on doll collecting then they are wanting out of the box 💡. That’s one reason why I love your channel it introduces and expands on more unique and diverse styles of dolls; many of these are actually on my list to get one day. Your list was great. My favorite part was about nostalgic and childhood dolls.

Wow! I just did a little search and fell down the custom Paola Reina rabbit hole! There are sooo many sweet customs! 😱

I remember something i was excited to write...i was happy to here you thrifed for your collection,

What an awesome list of affordable dollls!

All the dolls you mentioned in this list are a perfect start to a doll collection. You don't have to spend big bucks to enjoy this hobby.

What's really fun is the new MH you bought are brother and sister. Same family. Too bad you didn't find the new Catty Noir, she's a curvy doll.

Woo Hoo! Love me a top 10 🙌🏼... more? Yes Please 🙏🏼... Yes, my collection started with my childhood Vintage Velvet doll, and with lots of nudges from you along the way, is beautiful and diverse 🍄❤

Also I found the bigger Rainbow Bright doll for $15 at Walmart.

Great video! I think I will check out Licca -Chan on the channel you linked, ty! Definitely agree #1, a childhood favorite ❤️. I have two actual dolls from my childhood and bought the 3rd favorite as an Ashton Drake replica. She’s not my original but I still enjoy seeing her cute face alongside the other two well loved dolls.❤

I like vintage dollies but I love this video!

I love when collectors make beginners guides. I collect fashion dolls and have for years but even I love this kind of advice. I have my eyes on Licca! Oh I love shadow high , fantastic recommendation btw. Affordable and stunning. Thank you for a fab video ❤ I'm UK based btw 🤗

Cool dolls I collect 18 inch dolls and 14 inch dolls

Loved this video so much. I own almost every doll on your list. Had a Rainbow Brite as a kid and hope that the new dolls come to the market in the Netherlands.❤❤

Allison! Come see me at the Dolls of the World Expo in Raleigh please? 🥺🙏🏾😁
