Clare Rawling boasts a brilliant collection which she plays with by arranging them in scenarios and taking pictures
Clare Rawling, from Blackpool, who saw a pre-release screening which left her in tears with its “lovely touches” - and references to the doll’s vintage era. The mum has forked out thousands of pounds on dolls and accessories spanning six decades.
“I didn’t really have any preconceptions going into it. But as a fan, there were certainly lots of really lovely touches. It was very emotional in parts. I didn’t expect that – and it made me cry. There are definitely a few twists and turns. She added: “I have a lot of friends who send me gifts, it’s a huge part of the community. My collection will never end, and I got gifted three of the new Barbies. They’ve just released a new wave for the movie. Mattel must be making an absolute fortune!"
"I have lots of lovely Barbie memories. I would have kept playing with them but girls were being mean to me at school." She said: "I turned 40 and we couldn't go out because of the restrictions so I said, 'I know, I'm 40 but can I have everything Barbie?' I asked for everything to be pink and for a doll's house as my present."
Clare's first purchase was a vintage United Colors of Benetton doll from the early 1990s, which she bought from eBay for £179.
