Select Dolls for Playing or Collecting

Select Dolls for Playing or Collecting

Often the most notable factor when deciding whether to purchase a collectible doll or a toy doll is the price. Although prices can vary greatly based on the popularity of a given doll, the doll’s condition and age are the main factors when determining its price.

Doll accessories such as doll clothes, doll shoes and doll hats for collectible dolls can be priced significantly higher than those for contemporary toy dolls, simply because they are rare and harder to find. For example, good antique doll shoes for French and German bisque dolls can be quite expensive.

The material which the doll is made out of is another deciding factor. Collectible dolls are often made of porcelain, bisque, cloth, wood, papier-mâché, metal or composition materials. In comparison, contemporary toy dolls are usually made of vinyl; a highly durable soft, plastic-based material which is ideally suited for many hours of play.

In 1989, Hasbro gained the rights to produce Cabbage Patch dolls and began to make smaller dolls. Vinyl Cabbage Patch dolls are still being manufactured by Mattel, and you can find a large selection of Cabbage Patch dolls from every generation on eBay Australia.
