Paper dolls are another item of interest to Barbie collectors. Barbie paper dolls were first made available 1962, just three years after Barbie was introduced. Through the years there have been many artists who've designed these Barbie paper dolls.
In 1988, Linda Peck and Marilyn Gandre created several paper doll products. They were the creators and owners of "Collectible Paper Dolls from Peck-Gandre". These were the Nostalgic Blonde Barbie, Nostalgic Brunette Barbie and Nostalgic Ken paper dolls. These dolls were made in tribute to celebrate Barbie's 30th Anniversary. All of these dolls were unique in that they were painted by hand. Each doll is 11 1/2" tall and comes complete with sixteen genuine Barbie fashions, eight that are color and eight in black and white. The dolls arrive packaged in stunning graphic portfolios.
Barbie sewing patterns are items that are of very great interest to collectors. As of only a few years ago, the sewing pattern options available for collectors were rather limited. Prior to the late 1990s, the patterns for Barbie dolls were mostly simplistic or of evening gowns. Today however, all of that is changing. Companies who make patterns have noticed that many adult collectors enjoy sewing clothing for their dolls and the options are widening.
