Cute guy spends thousands of dollars on barbie collection
Quote:
Nick from London has splashed out more than £3,000 on his favourite princesses – but said they are worth every penny.
“Disney has always been the main passion for me and Belle is my favourite character,” said the self-confessed “big kid.”
“I love the way the dolls capture their characters and bring them to life.
“It’s something that I enjoy spending money on and it means something to me, so the value doesn’t matter.”
“She was not the typical blonde and I think she was the smart one.”
At the age of 12, Nick began to collect Disney pins, little badges that can be attached to clothes, bags or for trading or display.
In 2009, he bought himself his first doll – a 17inch limited edition Belle worth £50.
“I saw how detailed and gorgeous it was and started looking into the other ones,” he said. “Now I have about 50 of the limited edition dolls, including 12 Belles.
“They are worth more than I have spent now I’m sure, but I can’t sell them, I’m too attached. It’s not great for my bank balance but it’s worth it.”
