So here it is, The Melbourne Doll Market. A non-profit, for doll collectors, by doll collectors real life in person market!

The Market is for dolls in the retro, modern and fashion categories. This includes Blythe, Barbie, BJDs, Momoko, Fashion Royalty and so many others.

Come along to the Market, and see beautifully crafted fashions and accessories (not nasty pink factory made!) and dolls of all kinds for sale.

The only things I know for certain so far:

1. 2010 is the year;
2. Tokyo, Kanazawa, Osaka and Kyoto are on the agenda;
3. I will visit Nakano Broadway at least 5 times in the month I wish to stay;
4. I want to stay for four weeks;
5. I will stay with Sakura House in one of their apartments again;
6. Husband will be with me;
7. Kitty will be missing us terribly.

As you all know, I collect Blythe. But I also collect other bibs and bobs – we have a nice collection of Bearbricks, I love Kaws and BOME figures. I think Figma and Revoltech are awesome, and I love Pure Neemo Advance (Standard and Flection) doll bodies.

Other than Volks in Akihabara and Ikebukuro, where else shall I go? I already know to spend time in Akiba and DenDen Town scouring out the ReMent and miniatures I so love, but where else? What else?

Suggestions please.

(I use Japan Post EMS to ship what I buy back – works out cheaper than excess baggage, and the Post Office here in Australia holds onto the precious cargo for me until I can collect it – awesome!)
