Dolls Growing In Popularity

What makes the growing popularity of the artist doll and what makes collectors grab them up for collections of the future. There is a trend toward the baby type dolls, the Lee Middleton doll is very attractive to a lot of collectors today. They are almost life like and want someone to cuddle them which make them even more desirable. I know I can’t resist picking one of them up when I see some collector’s display.

The dolls by Lee Middleton are relatively expensive for the little sweeties. I guess if you look at the work that goes into them and the quality your getting, one can see what creates the cost factor. Some say the Gotz dolls by Joke Grobben are very expensive, but when I look at a wide range of dolls from the new to used, I see they compare very close. They both put great workmanship and quality in their dolls. The big difference is that Gotz dolls have been known to make limited quantities or maybe one of a kind.

If you want to get something in a baby doll that is a little more affordable you could try the Adora line of dolls. They have wonderful features and some great outfits to go along with the dolls. That makes it great for children to dress their doll and change them when they like. There are of course some of the Adora line that is expensive.

The above is a picture of my wife's doll by Lee Middleton doll. It is called Cherish and I know why, because my wife does cherish all of the dolls she has in her own collection and would not think of selling them. I am sure with my collection I might find a price for what you might want. Everyone feels differently about the things that are important to them.

Take time with your children and start them a collection so you can find mutual things to talk about that interest both of you. Remember I reaised 9 children and I know how important it is to find something to talk to each child about.
