Not only girls love dolls — real fan of Barbie may be a grown man. For example, building Jian Yan from Singapore there are a lot of shelves with a huge collection of these toys. According to the man, he stopped counting them when the number of dolls has exceeded 9 thousand, but, apparently, at his house right now “live” more than 10 thousand Barbie.

His collection started to collect 30 years ago and all the time spent on exhibits about 500 thousand dollars.

Professional collector Jian himself does not believe, he does not participate in the auction, does not go to the meeting of fans and is not a member of any clubs. According to him, he just likes dolls and so buys them “for the soul.”

It all began in 1984, when Jian accidentally launched a Christmas gift to his sister. He liked feminine Barbie that a little later he began to buy new dolls.

In the collection of Jan there are many rare and exclusive Barbie, which he buys around the world. But the man often acquires new exhibits in the usual toy store near his home.
