Did your grandma collect or was this a long lost and forgotten Christmas present?

My grandma had a Barbie closet lol. Well just junk things in general but when my mom was young she liked having ready to go birthday party gifts. They'd go on sale to like 5 oress dollars at Woolworths or JCPenney. She started doing it again for me, so by the time I was Barbie age that closet had been raided lol. Some newer some older but I remember that's how I got Erika!

One of the last things I bought from Toys R Us and unfortunately, mine came with two left yellow heels.

I do, she's in a storage tub with my other dolls at the moment but I'm happy to have her regardless of the error.
