Hello!
I'm a doll collector from Greece, so first of all i apologise for my english
.
When i was a little girl, in the beginning of 1980's, my first fashion doll was of course a sindy pedigree active ballerina
I loved her, although i had no clothes to dress her, they were extremely expensive in Greece and i suppose that my parents couldn't afford it. My lovely doll was dancing every day for years and today she remains in good shape, but she cannot bend her elbows and ankles anymore 
.
In 1982, el greco, a greek toy company made our national greek fashion doll. She was called bibi-bo
Bibi bo had blonde hair, an active body and plastic blue eyes with rooted eyelashes. El greco was bought by hasbro and closed down in late 80'sl. In our days, bibi-bo is extremely collectible and very hard to find, even in used condition. Hasbro never relaunched her. She was suddenly dissapeard and sindy hasbro took the market in Greece. In 1988, barbie also came in Greece!
I started to collect dolls last year and i collect only bibi-bo, sindy (hasbro and pedigree) and vintage barbie.
I still have my first and solely fashion dolls that i owned as a child and love them as my kids.
I hope we have lot to say and many experiences about dolls to share!

You will also find a thread about Bibi-bo dolls that Lucretia started several months ago 
and look forward to chatting along the way
