Barbie Wednesday

In 1995 Mattel released the first set of dolls that were designed after a movie. The Gone With The Wind collection was an amazing collection of dolls! I remember standing at Wal Mart looking at the lit glass case filled with those dolls. My favorite of course was the beautiful Scarlet O'Hara in her red velvet dress.





Since then Mattel has come out with many film Barbies. It was a wonderful idea for Mattel as both Barbie and non Barbie fans want to collect these lovely dolls. Here is a Lord of the Rings Barbie and Ken set.



I always liked the James Bond gift set. One of these days it will find it's way into my collection along with the LOTR collection pictured above! Hehehe!!!!!




I believe Mattel's most popular collection ever would have to be The Wizard Of Oz collection. Mattel released the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, Glinda the Good Witch and Dorothy. There is a 1995 and 1996 version of Dorothy. The 1995 version is worth more due to the slight changes in costume and the wording on the box.

New this year to the collection is the Wicked Witch of the East Barbie! Love her striped socks!!!

In 2006 Mattel came out with an updated version of the dolls adding the Witch's Guard and flying monkey.

Also new to the collection was the Wicked Witch of the West! I am planning to add her to my collection soon!!!!!! I think she is beautiful.

Here are pictures of the 2006 collection.

I will be getting my collection out for the upcoming Wonderful Wizard Of OZ Gala!!!!

Just recently announced is the newest dolls added to the collection of film inspired dolls,
these AWESOME TWILIGHT DOLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a HUGE Twilight fan so this is really exciting for me!! They are to be released around the time the next movie comes out. Which is November 20th.

Thank you for visiting us today! Sign ups are still open for The Wonderful Wizard Of OZ Gala!!! Just let us know and we will add you to the list!!!!!
