ABOUT US:

Our group came together from an afternoon soiree held on October 4th 1998, for the debut of the 'Gene' fashion doll here in Australia. Those attending wanted to do it again and what was initially a once off gathering, has grown into a fun group that meets on a regular basis and hosts an annual show: Halloween Doll Extravaganza.

While we started with Gene, our meeting displays include all modern & vintage fashion dolls; Barbie, Tyler, Kitty, Daisy & Willow, Franklin Mint, Sindy, Tammy, Dawn, as well as Celebrity dolls, BJD's & Action figures. The meetings are very informal; no rules or regulations, except for a love of dolls and a sense of humour.

We have resident doll artists who share their various skills and knowledge; from creating and customising dolls to doll fashions and accessories. We encourage doll play and our annual Doll Fashion Awards, includes a 'Redressed' category to inspire and highlight how much fun it can be. It's something everyone can participate in, without any knowledge or specific skill .....except learning to de-box!

We believe that collecting is not about how many dolls you have but that from the novice to the enthusiast, we can all enjoy, inspire and learn from each other. The displays at our meetings and on a much larger scale, our Halloween, Fashion & Celebrity Doll Extravaganza, demonstrate what can be achieved, when individual collectors come together to share their knowledge and collections.

"EDUCATE, INTRIGUE & AMUSE” is our group’s motto, and especially the latter because without the fun factor - there is no reason for being!
