DES MOINES, Iowa (WHO) — For some people, Barbie is just a plastic doll, but for Iowa resident Sue Wyatt, Barbie is a collector's item — and after buying her first doll back in the 80s, she was hooked."I went back the next day and they were all gone, and when I saw that I said this is something that's going to be big," said Wyatt. But little did she know just how big her own collection would one day be."I was shocked, we had 475 that were in mint condition and never opened. It was taking over our house, our closets were full and we had 47 tubs already," said Wyatt.
