Part Two: Dolls, Plushies, and Action figures.
In Part one from yesterday, we covered the miniatures and Dollhouses. Today, we explore the vast collection of Dolls both antique and modern, the teddy bear and plush animals, and the action figures. They also have an enormous assortment of figurines but those are being saved for Part Three which will cover all the remaining toys and games.
