The Magic and Mystery Collection with Merlin and Morgan, Aurthur and Guinevere ,Romeo and Juliette, Tales of the Arabian Knights, Star Trek, X Files, Barbie Loves Elvis, Vera Wang Bride, 35th Anniversary Gift Set and a couple of Spiegal Barbies .The artwork, the pristine couples in perfect outfits. I like to take them off the shelf and and just admire the full sets. If the lid lifts off easy I reposition their faces and hands and enjoy touching the fabrics. The ones that would require artwork box damage I leave just as they are. I get great pleasure just having them perfect in every way. I have about 6 early integrity gift sets that eventually I will debox once I am ready to play with them but they don't make them that way any more. If I were to take Barbie starring in King Kong out of the box she just wouldn't make sense I would loose the giant monkey hand, the face and all the paper buildings just trying to get her out of the box so I enjoy her just looking and the feelings of nostalgia that washes over me. King Kong is very special to me It was my first scary movie that I watched when I was 6. I remember being so frightened for the Ballerinas. DSC_1902 by Joanne, on Flickr> The Waltz is still in the box just because I have no place to keep them out 90% of my collection is ripped out of their boxes, played with, and enjoyed. Hundreds of dolls, all brands, deboxed, and played with, about 30 left NFRB for my viewing pleasure.
