Never met him tough, found out the connection 2 years ago.

Actually, I do like playing the Barbie games. I like the two games published for PS2 - Island Princess and 12 Dancing Princesses. LOL
My Wife and I are members of Barbie Collector and I just purchased four Barbie dolls from the site. LOL
I like the new movies that they are making and I just purchased four of them. I will buy the whole collection. Yikes!

I'll admit, I always wanted this one:
Alfred Hitchcock The Birds edition
I find it hilarious.
I remember seeing it a LONG time ago when it was $20, it is now $110+. :-\
Too much for what would be a funny novelty for me.

I had forgotten about that Barbie. I like the birds that come with it. Pretty cool, especially for Hitchcock fans. Barbies are the same as action figures just carry a feminine stereotype with them. Actually, alot of people collect Barbie dolls and some people sell them for profit. Sometimes rare dolls can bring in alot of cash.
I just purchased the Wizard of Oz collection recently and I want to add the Batman and Catwoman dolls soon - they all look like the original actors/actresses.

I'll also admit that I like Monster High. LOL
okay, no more telling on myself. I duct-tape my fingers now.
I always thought that $100+ is too high but the dolls are actually quite nice nowadays. The clothing is very real, just small. The hair and accessories are much nicer than before. My Wife likes to collect Barbie dolls and now she has me doing it too :-D I like the Coach Barbie that was recently released but it is already sold out at the Mattel site.
