Pagefan55 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have a friend whose mother owns a huge collection of antique dolls -- many of the dolls in her collection are porcelain dolls from the 18th/19th centuries -- you would love them, Freeyyaa.

Freeyyaa Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 And how do you like them? I saw porcelain Pandora-like dolls from the XIX century at the exhibition in Moscow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 ^^ They're gorgeous and very life-like, Freeyyaa. My friend's mom has porcelain dolls dating back to the 1770's and 1780's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I love dolls of all kinds. Be it the plastic ones or the wooden ones. Most of the wooden dolls I have, happen to be handmade handicraft items from various parts of the globe. During all the several trips that I took to the Auckland War Memorial Museum, either by myself or with family or friends, there is one permanent gallery which I have always made a point to visit, during each trip. That gallery is called "Wild Child", depicting the history of childhood in New Zealand from the early 1900's to the 1950's. It gives you a very interesting insight as to how Kiwi kids lived during those days. I came across a very interesting variety toys (and also a few puppets!) on display at the gallery, ranging from the 1920's to the 1950's, that have been played with, by actual kids, . I was also thrilled to see a few golliwogs as part of the display! I owned a set of golliwogs, consisting of a man, lady and child. In the days of my childhood (before the onset of this 'politically correct' and ultra sensitive world of ours, where everything seems to have a double meaning - including children's toys!!!), those golliwogs were much loved by me and bring back plenty of great memories! Honestly, I never even considered them to be toys, having a horrid racist interpretation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 What do you think about Monster High dolls? Are they harmful to public morality? I don't know but I'm certainly not buying any for my nieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I looked up these "Monster High" dolls, and they're not as bad as I imagined they might be. At least there are no rotting flesh or organs hanging out of them. I actually like the multi-armed one, as it reminds me of the Hindu stop action sword wielding warrior in one of those old Sinbad movies. Back when I grew up, we were fascinated by bug-eyed "Rat Fink" models and grossout rubber jigglers. But the girls always had prim and proper dolls and such...
