Mar 20, 2019

Watch Thread
    1. This doll convention happens twice a year; once in Spring and once in the Fall.

      The 2019 Spring Event is on Sunday, April 14 from 10:00AM to 3:00PM. There are door prizes and free parking! Admission is $6 for Adults and $2 for kids under 12.

      This year they changed location to the Hellenic Community Centre, and they have a map on their website.

      As far as i know, they are also still accepting vendor applications.

      You can read more about the show here or on their facebook page!

      I will try to post updates when I can! Note I am not affiliated with the London Doll Show, just someone who wanted to spread the word to my fellow collectors in Southern Ontario!

    3. When I went to the Fall show last year, there weren't a lot, about 3 or 4 vendors. There is a list of the currently signed up vendors on their website. It is a really good place for props, wig fibres, eyes, and other accessories though.

    4. Ah...., I was looking into this. I have vintage hard plastic dolls (early 60s) I used to bring them to such doll events when I lived in Saskatoon. I was never there for BJDs. I thought of attending this one in London Ontario last year but had no time. I was wondering who on DOA is the vendor selling BJD stuff. There was no thread last year for this event. I’m pleasantly surprised there’s a thread this year. I plan to visit with my vintage dolls.

    5. Yeah, i figured i would post a thread about it to get more BJD people attending, as that might influence future shows! As far as I know there are 2 confirmed bjd vendors: The Doll Doctor and Toyz in the Attic. A lot of vendors sell bjd sized items and such though!!! And so many props!!

    6. If I attend this event, I would rent a car and drive there from Toronto, I don't want to use my own vehicle. I normally don't buy stuff at these events but I spend time meeting and chatting with people who have 1960s plastic dolls because maintenance is a huge challenge and these dolls have a long history, so there's lots to chat. I might also consider bringing my oldest BJD Volks Isao Ver 1 2004. I want to introduce him to conservative antique and vintage doll collectors, I am carefully prepping him to take his place as a vintage doll one day in the distant future.

      My work schedule is tricky. The event is 2 weeks away. It's nice to take a road trip somewhere with family now that it's spring. I hope I make it. My schedule is still a big question mark.
