An Introduction...

I am Robin Cua. I am a doll and action figure collector for two and-a-half years now.

I acquire dolls primarily on the uniqueness of their faces. The more realistic they look, the better. I collect dolls mainly because I love taking their photos. I am an amateur photographer with no formal training and am still saving up for a DSLR camera, that is, if I can control myself from purchasing more and more dolls. ;-)

But it hasn't always been that way. There was a time when I bought dolls just to hoard them. Only to realize later on that I do not really like or need what I purchased.

I must admit that I am an impulsive buyer and toys are my priority when the need to spend attacks. ;-)

Collecting dolls is a continuous learning experience for me. I have wasted a considerable amount of money on dolls I really didn't like yet also enjoyed significant bargains on most of the items in my collection.

Having learned all that, I would like to share with you a few of my recently purchased dolls online that are arriving very soon.

I know I'm expecting a lot of dolls to arrive soon. It's because they all came at bargain prices that are impossible to resist. Guess I still haven't overcome my impulsive buying instincts. I'm sure I'd be overwhelmed when they all arrive at the same month. x-D

That's all for now. Till my next post. Ciao! :-)
