Dollect Notice!

Hey, everyone!

We just want to touch base with you on some things happening on the site. As you may have noticed, there are images that are currently missing. The team is aware of this and we are working as quickly as we can when we have the time to fix the issue. This is due to the images being migrated.

Please know that Dollect is entirely volunteer run, and this is something that we work on when we have the free time/energy to do so. We have seen this question popping up both in the Discord and elsewhere, so we just want to cover each location with an update. We will also be updating the socials with this information as well.

If there is a different issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to the team and let us know. Thank you all for the support and love that you pour back into our wonderful little community!

The best solution to this is to comment on pages in which you see the issues!

The majority of images were migrated naturally and require no attention (if youโ€™re having issues on main site pages, you need to reset your computerโ€™s Dollect cache) but some need manual pushes.

Itโ€™s a simple and quick fix for us but finding them is challenging! This solution is going to keep Dollect running basically in perpetuity no matter how much storage we use so it was worth doing, even if itโ€™s a headache right now!

A Tribute to Bill Greening

(He's not dead btw. Just got laid off in recent Mattel employee purge)

Former principal designer for Barbie Signature, Bill Greening had worked at Mattel for 26 years. A few days ago, he announced via Instagram that he had "left the Dreamhouse". Although I have no doubt that Greening will go on to design more in the future (hopefully for a company like Integrity Toys, fingers crossed), seeing such a iconic and talented Barbie veteran kicked like this is very sad. It's especially frustrating knowing that Barbie has been dipping their toes into generative AI... Concerning to say the least :(.

Here is just some of the great work Bill has done during his time at Barbie:

  • The Barbie Basics + Barbie Basics Model (2010-2025) (line)
  • Red Carpet (line)
  • Birthstone Beautiesโ„ข (line)
  • Barbie Looks (2021-2024) (line)
  • Barbie City Shine (line)
  • Wizard of Oz + Wicked (2018) Barbies
  • Cher Bob Mackie Dolls
  • 35th Anniversary Teresa (2023) + Christie 55th Anniversary Doll (2023)
  • Barbie x Bob Mackie Holiday Angels
  • Various vintage reproductions
  • And much more.

And some of my favorites <3

Halloween Haunt Barbie (2011)

Water Sprite Barbie (2016)

The Flintstones Barbies (2008)

And Birthstone Beauties (2007) (Miss Emerald pictured)

I don't collect expensive or collector dolls but I can still appreciate the beautiful dolls Greening designed for Barbie!! Literal eye candy <3

This whole situation, not just with Bill but all other employees, sucks. I can't imagine having basically your dream job stripped away from you like that </3.

Thank you for bringing joy to so many!!

Update on the Anya doll! I made her shoes! I had some good bases in my stock box but they needed modifications (like the fur removed, some shaping, priming, painting etc). But with some random mail charms I had for buckles it looks great!

Jazzie arrives!

We're having a heat wave today, which may be why new arrival Jazzie is wearing only a bikini. I was browsing eBay in a "not going to buy anything mood" when I saw a very good price on the one Jazzie I really want: Teen Trends Swim Suit Jazzie, the lone brown-eyed version.

She looks younger than her new friends but is much taller. Full body comparison to follow later in the week.

Catrine has entered the operating room. Look at what I pulled from her head! ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข Waiting for a bright sunny day to continue this operationโ€ฆ sheโ€™s been injected with an anesthetic so sheโ€™ll be sleeping (with eyes open is a common side effect) until all of this is complete, donโ€™t worry!

Here is a outfit Iโ€™m working on for a photo shot! Itโ€™s a little messy but I hope I can clean it up when I edit it
