Weekly DQ: #7

[SetsunaKou]

Oh, just about everything... :laughs:

Mainly, it's not 'what' we collect but 'from' what. We just collect everything made and released from 7-8 anime/games----if they make it, we collect it.

Including all sizes of garage kits/resin models, statues, paper dolls, gashapon figures, sd figures, fingerpuppets, fan books, event/concert pamphlets, cds/dvds, action figures, Gundams, pvc models, keychain figures/keychains, plushies, mini plushies, My Little Ponies, waterglobes, music boxes, pillows, perfumes, doujinshi, artbooks, t-shirts, knickknacks, etc.

Our dad teasingly says 'Where do you put all this?!' whenever something new comes in the mail but it's really true.....

We're being run out of house and home.....

Doll sized dressers - I love them!
childrens clothes to cut up.
eraser foods & toys. doll sized chairs,
I look at everything and wonder what I can re-purpose it to be for them!

[Lamia of the Dark]

Doll option parts. (hands/eyes/wigs/floating heads)

[anoniemouse]

I got into Monster High thanks to my Big Dolls (*hearts*) In general for the big dolls I like to collect eyes, wigs, and general things that you need when you get a new doll. Patterns, cool fabrics, etc. For the small ones I've gotten into miniature items and accessories. I'd love to be able to have one of those sets one day, but the lack of room etc makes it impossible.

It is thanks to Cordie that I have a Victorian doll house and all the furniture I need to furnish it. I also have furniture and props for every size from 1/24 to 1/4 scale. Everyone has at least table, chairs, food, instruments.....most of my dolls have beds or at least a chaise lounge of their own.

78rpm LPs, 33 1/3rpm LPs (classical music, operas, old radio plays), books written and printed before 1960, although I much prefer the ones from 1900 and before (yes, I *do* read them), and IF I can find them, readable miniature books, like these : http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDet ... s%2Bcaesar. I have the Julius Caesar book which I was lucky to find for $9.00 on ebay! It's in mint condition. I also have a 1902 edition (illustrated) of Alice in Wonderland, NOT in mint condition (rather poor condition) that I bought on ebay with four other books for a total of $15.00.

Vintage cameras...although my husband has told me I'm not allowed to buy any more cameras. He said the limit in our house is 30, although I do buy a new lens every now and then. And filters. And light meters from the 1930s/40s.

The next thing I want is an old candlestick phone :



and then I still want an old Victrola:


in or out of a cabinet, I'm not picky...

and THEN this!

An Edison phonograph! Yes, I want the music tubes for it, too.

At least there is a theme to my madness.

I bought some rement Rilakkuma stuff for my Mui-chan Doll and got so addicted that I even have big plushies and sunglass holder and a contact Lens Case. I think I have more Rilakkuma stuff than dolls- Not really but its way more than I ever thought I'd buy because I don't really collect plush! LOL

[Alopecia No Hime]

All sorts of props miniatures all types of little things.

I wanna get cool props like Cirquemom has.

[Mirrin]

I now hoard little scraps of cloth that would have been thrown out from my costume shop because I can use them for doll clothing. Every so often I go in and clear it out.... but I still have a pretty extensive silk collection from dupioni to crepe.
