An Australian man has converted his spare bedroom into a “shrine to Barbie” with a £25,000 collection of 450 Barbie products, including Barbie and Ken dolls, dream houses and video tapes, which he says is “his pride and joy”.
Eddi Franz, 53, a single retail assistant, who lives in Sydney, Australia, began playing with Barbie dolls at the age of six, after “being desperate to have one” and his parents being “surprisingly cool about it”.
