A COUPLE have collected hundreds of official Disney Dolls – worth an incredible R800 000.
MARIO MENENDEZ and Lazaro Roque have been together for six years and bought their first doll – a Cinderella figurine – three years ago. The couple bonded over their love for dolls and Disney and now they share their collection with other Disney doll fans on Instagram and YouTube.
“The entire collection, Disney and non-Disney, we’re talking around R800 000. As long as Disney keeps producing them then I’ll keep buying them but if Disney stops then that’ll be it for me,” says Lazaro. “Honestly, unless it was like a dire emergency where we needed money quick I don’t think I’ll ever sell them.”
Both Mario and Lazaro work six days a week to invest in their ever-growing collection and they have no plans to stop any time soon.
