]]> I was asked by an elderly lady in need of extra money, to sell her collection of porcelain dolls that she has acquired over many years. Some were discovered stolen, and sadly many of the dolls, though new in the box with tags (franklin mint, bradbury, etc…)reek of cigarette smoke. The boxes are also somewhat dusty and smell. I would like to clean them up so as to get as much money for them as possible, but I don’t want to damage them as some are older and some such as the Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy dolls may be quite valueable. I would appreciate any advice on my mission! Thanks

]]> This doll was a hard plastic doll, very small, the size of a clementine orange. They were NOT the Kupie doll (or whatever it was called) but do look very similar. They were cheap and I remember them from Toys R Us. They came in small plastic wrapperrs and were sold at the front of the store. They were all different dolls, different positions or facial expressions. That made them all collectible.
If you can give me the correct name I will give you besst anwser (ten points). If you dont get it right you can at least guess!
Digger, I dont remember nappies or hair, but the size is right. could be them, im desperate for their names! I thought I remembered them coming with little candy bottles that the kids could eat but im not sure about that.

]]> Most people take up collecting dolls and action figures as a hobby because it’s not just fun and entertaining but also a very lucrative.  You could collect almost any figure and once you build a complete set, you could sell it off at a huge price.  There are many people who earn a living by buying and selling action figures.

 

The most popular action figures are probably the GI Joe action figures which were first launched during the cold war period in the early sixties.  Although most people started collecting these figures as a hobby, they soon turned into a great investment. There are also others who collect it without any intention to sell. They just enjoy building up their collection, most often hoping to collect the entire series or sets that were ever manufactured.

 

The collecting of GI Joe action figures means you would have to buy them for a price from a source and also needs you to be familiar with the different kinds of figures, the accessories they come with, the vehicles the use, the value of a figure among the collecting community etc. It requires you to invest a great deal of time and money on researching about these figures and then buying them either from an Online GI Joe store or through eBay or shops that sell vintage toy figures.

 

The GI Joe action figures come in different sizes. There have been many theme based launches over the years and almost all of these figures come with accessories like arms and artillery equipment as well as vehicles. These accessories also are widely sought after as a missing gun or a vehicle could render the collection less worthy than it would be if it were complete.

 

The prices quoted by some websites for vintage action figures are over the moon. The funny part is that there are many collectors out there who would pay anything just to procure the GI Joe action figure that they want. There are action figures that sell for thousands of dollars while others sell for between 10 to 100 dollars each.

 

If you are intent on collecting GI Joe action figures then the first step is to decide which figures to collect. For this you have to think backwards and find the ones that were your favourites when you were a kid or ask your neighbours kid or your own child about which one he thinks to be the best in the series. Any collection would a great value only if you have complete sets which are undamaged and without any flaws. 

 

You could buy a complete set which was launched for a particular period or on a particular theme. The fun part is collecting rare GI Joe figures, the ones that you can’t buy at a store and require you to put in more effort and money to find them and add to your set.

 

Taking care of your collections is another important step. Sometimes if you are lucky you might get your hands on a figure that is still intact with its original packaging and is unopened from an online GI Joe store. These untouched figures fetch a very good price and if you are not on the other side of the fence you could get a lot of money for them.

GI Joe Store Online is a great place to buy GI Joe Action Figures online and find great deals on them. It is a GI Joe store that has everything you could ever ask for and more.
