My true love is metal toys. I own an amazing metal doll house purchased in the 60's. I also love dolls, puppets, stuffed animals. Just how many toys can one home possess without ending up on a hoarding show on cable tv? I don't have a shop yet, but have a goal of having one in the next year.

I don't have any vintage toys in my site, but I love them. I treasure a toy alligator that was my Dad's as a child and keep it on my bookshelf, I'll never sell it. It's great to see something the way he saw it, a little window of past. Here's a pic I attached of the alligator with a photo of my dad when he was little. I use this photo and frame a lot in the background of my pictures.

I started collecting vintage barbie dolls after I found out my Mom must have sold all of mine (from 50's-60s)! My daughter has the best collection of vintage barbie dolls/clothes!

I have a big collection of vintage dolls. Compos from the 30's through hard plastic from the 50's are my favorites. I will post some pictures when I can.

We have over 350 Teddy bears and koalas who of course need lots of toys to play with! So mummy gets them!!! carousels, merry go rounds, and everything in between. Waa is so jealous!
We also sell vintage toys so if you would like to take a look at our shop on bonanzle or etsy? At times we go nuts over the toys because they are such fun!

Do Pez Dispensers count as toys? :)
If so I have a lot of those. Sadly no really old ones. They mostly seem to be from the '80s.
I seem to collect a lot of stuff that was around when I was a kid.
Things that I didn't have, but knew of.
Like Smurfs. I have a couple of the plush dolls that I found at the local second hand store.
My mom also have some of the hard plastic toys of the Smurfs on a shelf. :)
And I do collect Beanie Babies :) Only the ones I like though.
I had a friend that had to buy the new ones whenever they came out. She knew exactly when they would be out too O_o
I have one that my mom got me a few years before they became the in thing.
Last time I searched for it I had a hard time finding any information on it. I'll have to look again and see what comes up :)
I also collect McDonald's toys. :)
I know there's more...but that's all I can think of at the moment :) -

Barbies - there's a lot of recent ones mixed in with the vintage
Matchbox Cars - most of them belonged to a friend's brother. He wanted to get rid of them but wanted to give them to someone who would take care of them, so that's how I ended up with a surprise collection.
Star Wars action figures - I'm not buying new ones, these are the ones I had from the seventies
I also have a few collections that are not vintage yet like Gene, Living Dead Dolls and monster action figures. -
