My Doll Shelf Update
I have a few shelves for my doll collection, and I just love creating new displays, changing themes, and restyling my dolls. This is how everything looks after the latest update.
The first three shelves are next to my desk. I spend a lot of time here, so these are my main displays.
The first one is now dedicated to my Barbie Basics 2025, all in their original dresses and shoes.
The second one is for Kens. One of them has a little ZURU baby.
The third one is for the 2026 Neutral Barbie Basics. Most of them are wearing Mattel outfits, but I might change a few.

The second from the right in the top shelf of your glass-door cabinet looks unusual. The one to get left also a bit. What's their story?
Hi! This is Minerva McGonagall from Mattel's Harry Potter line. The doll to her left is Madame Morrible from Wicked, but I took her hair down and gave it a little trim. In my collection, one of my favorite dolls is their daughter and granddaughter.
