Does anyone collect Squinkies? My hubby bought me some because he thought I would like them. They are cute but too tiny. Yep, we do Squinkies .. and believe it or not, Banana has started collecting an even SMALLER version of them called Zinkies! Those things are crazy tiny! We think the Squinkies are pretty cool .. Banana has a 3-tier display rack for them that works pretty well for keeping them neat.

Oh gosh, I will research Zinkies now! My hubby bought them because they were on clearance at Target, he loves Target clearance as much as I do , so now I may have a new collection to start.

Lately I'm collecting Blythe (Neos, Middies and Petites!), plus LPS Blythe and Mini Lalas. I do have a few teddy bears (a long lasting love), only a small number of small very selected ones (I'm very picky about faces!).

I currently collect LaLaLoopsy (though it's a small two doll collection so far sadly), Moshi Monsters, resin BJD dolls (if you think that LaLaLoopsy are expensive, try spending $700 on one single doll), Moshi Monsters, Charlie Bears, and My Blue Nose Friends! Goodbye money, hello obsessions...

I collect American Girl dolls (and other compatible dolls such as Gotz Little Sisters and Alexander Girlz), Disney Beauty and the Beast and Tangled dolls, MLP Friendship is Magic ponies, and toys I remember from my childhood, such as Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony (G1), Care Bears, Love-a-Bye Babies, Lady Lovely Locks, and more. My 80s and 90s toys are mostly the odds and ends I find at thrift stores. I'm not planning on having full collections of anything. I do enjoy having a shelf of random toys to enjoy, though. My Beauty and the Beast collection started in college, and I added Tangled to the mix when it was released. I pretty much focus on the 12" Barbie sized dolls from the Disney Store now for those collections. I have 10 American Girl and other 18" dolls, as well as a few random dolls such as Moxie Teenz, Liv dolls, and one Pullip. I'm fairly new to the Lalaloopsy world. Honestly, I didn't really care for them when they first came out, but last Christmas a Lalaloopsy was all that my middle daughter wanted. In searching for the perfect Christmas doll for her, I started to change my mind about them. Now I have my own collection of minis, and all three daughters have them too. I also have my Breyer horse and Boyds Bear figurine collections from earlier years, but I'm not actively collecting for them. Yeah, I have waaayyy too many things I'm interested in. Thankfully I have a very nice hubby who doesn't complain about the fact that he pretty much lives in a doll museum. Oh, and I almost forgot, my girls and I have a Squinkie collection, too. They're really fun, but easy to lose because they bounce on our hardwood floors.

I collect dolls in general; whatever appeals to me, I get. Barbie makes up the bulk of my collection, with porcelain dolls making up another huge percentage. The rest consists of vintage and antique stuff, modern playline dolls, folk art, and anything unique or unusual.

I collect so many things, I think I collect collections! Asside from Lalaloopsies, I collect the old Polly Pockets, old Fisher Price toys, stamps, coins, post cards, video games. I am in no way a completionist, I just get what I like.

I have several collections from when I was very young MLP, Kelly dolls, And Littlest Pet Shop mostly. I also like Squinkies, Squishes etc. My largest and longest collection is American Girl which I started at 3 1/2 and even though I played with everything, they still look great. I have been collecting Lala's since the beginning and focus on the large and mini dolls mostly. I do have quite a few of the other types, but tend to stick to those as far as completing my collection. I also like Mushka's quite a bit.
Other than toys I like to look for items especially furniture and dishes for American Girls in antique stores, thrift stores, and estate sales. I have quite a few old glass children's size dish sets that I love. I also like vintage glass animals that I find all over the place. MURANO glass is my favorite but I have all different types of Art glass animals. My parents are also collectors of other things and being an only child I grew up with collecting and find it very fun to look for my stuff while they are looking for what they like. One thing that has been interesting is my parents finding American Girls sized items made by companies they like. My favorite is a doll size Wien dish set made in Austria.

At the moment I only have 1 Lalaloopsy doll >< But I also collect BJDs, Sylvanian Families, Tokidoki, Anime Figures (K-ON, Haruhi, etc), X-Men : Gambit and of course Zelfs! I used to collect Pullips too.. but recently I've been trying to limit my collections. I already collect way too many things! Now I try to only collect toys that have a (company intended) positive theme behind them (except the anime and Gambit stuff).
I've been very tempted by Monster High, Pinky Street and Kawaii Crush but no!!!
