Hello. As a man who just bought some second hand barbie and Stacie, I'm happy to have found this channel. there's always the fear of being rejected as a dude playing with dolls. I just wanna feel good by restoring something beautiful to it's original beauty somehow. The more damaged the dolls are, the more interested of helping them I get. And I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feel like this. Thank you.
I know exactly what you mean, it can definitely feel alienating, as a gay man trying to navigate the dating world there's always certain expectations of masculinity, but I find the more passionate and confident you are about what you do, the more accepting people are going to be, and if they're not, they're simply not the right people to keep around!
I love to watch your work on the Barbie dolls. I find the music and your voice a soothing/relaxation feel. The work itself is fantastic. I really like when you include, at the end, comparison photos of the start and the finished results. 👍👍
I am picking this hobby back up. I restore dolls only for my own personal collection. Interesting to see how you do the eyebrows. That is one thing I can never get right.
You are soooo good at matching paint color! Some people can get really near the original color, you NAIL it! I wish modern Barbies would have toes like that 😍
Just found one of these girls at an antique store for 25 dollars. You already know that I snatched it up as fast I could. She’s in mint condition and I can’t wait to restore her to her cleaner and more dressed self. Lol
The music and lighting make your videos so soothing to watch. You did an excellent job on her! She looks fantastic! What is the plastic material you used for the stencil / mask - "warbla" ?
Awesome! You inspired me! My first vintage Barbie is on her way to me. It’s #6 in a very bad condition. I just want to to try to make her beautiful again
You should check up on them. Depending on how discolored they are it can take anywhere from 1 day to a week. I usually drop in a new tablet after 24 hours just to make sure :)
WOW-UH about the nose fix - I did not know that could be done! I have a Brad Ken with a nose-tip issue, do you think it'll work for him, since he's black/AA?
Amazing restoration! New subscriber here. I admire your work and craftsmanship. I want to get into restoring some dolls. Would you please advise on what kind of pencils you use to create a base with and what brand of varnish you use to seal the paint?
Depends on how nicked the nose is really. If it's only missing a tiny bit, see through UV gel won't really be noticeable, as it reflects the color underneath. If the doll is basically missing her nose, you probably do have to color match it :)
Amazing work! What paints do you use and do you dilute with water to avoid brush strokes? Also, do you seal the face makeup or just the finger and toe polish
Хотелось бы больше узнать ,о материалах и средствах ,которые ты мспользовал для реставрации? Чем ты отбелил ноги кукол? У меня старая кукла .Хочу отбелить ей ноги! Если ты будещь рассказывать ,как и чем ты работаешь ,тогда твои видео приобретут полезный , познавательный контект. Спасибо!
@@DoeDeerWonderland спасибо за бысрый ответ ,прости, я еще не выучила английский язык,а как ты думаешь лицо куклы можно помещать в перекись водорода? Макияж куклы не пострадает? Спасибо
@@vladshym6836 It's all good! Hydrogen peroxide unfortunately does damage the makeup, so I only recommend you do it if your doll's paint is already damaged and you were planning on redoing her makeup...
@@DoeDeerWonderland Спасибо ,я хотела бы сделатьновый макияж,но надо много знать какие материалы и краски применять. Мне нравится итог твоих работ. Смотрю с интересом! Разреши иногда задавать тебе вопросы! Спасибо!
Bubblecuts are my least favorite. I know that was a trend hairstyle back then, but it didn't leave anything for the children to play with having short hair.
I think it's cute! The kids could play with them and pretend they were their mother or their aunt. It's a very "of the times" style so I think it's fitting

Have you been on r/Barbie? There's a lot of male or AMAB collectors and restorers on there.

👍👍
That’s very kind of you, thanks! 💖
Seeing the process restoring these antique dolls is fascinating. I love watching these videos!
Thanks!
I am picking this hobby back up. I restore dolls only for my own personal collection. Interesting to see how you do the eyebrows. That is one thing I can never get right.
It does take a bit of practice but eventually it does become a bit easier!
I want to try and restore Barbie’s now. I will also try to make outfits for them. Looks cool.
🥰💗 Love this video. Barbie is beautiful.
Aw thank you :)
You are soooo good at matching paint color! Some people can get really near the original color, you NAIL it!
I wish modern Barbies would have toes like that 😍

This is the same as my newest find! She's in really good condition but I have no confidence in restoring the make-up loss.
It just takes a little bit of practice :)
Good job
Thank you :)
I literally JUST put two Barbie heads in a denture Tablet solution. How long should it soak? Should I add more tablets after a while?
You should check up on them.
Depending on how discolored they are it can take anywhere from 1 day to a week.
I usually drop in a new tablet after 24 hours just to make sure :)
@@DoeDeerWonderland thank you!
WOW-UH about the nose fix - I did not know that could be done! I have a Brad Ken with a nose-tip issue, do you think it'll work for him, since he's black/AA?
Yes it should work, as long as it's clear nail gel, it should reflect the color underneath :)
@@DoeDeerWonderland Thank you so much!
Amazing restoration! New subscriber here. I admire your work and craftsmanship. I want to get into restoring some dolls. Would you please advise on what kind of pencils you use to create a base with and what brand of varnish you use to seal the paint?
I use Staedtler watercolor pencils and Vallejo satin varnish :)
@@DoeDeerWonderland Thank you much for sharing! 💖😊
@@nitaxiong ofc!
my goodness your like a Barbie healing Angle
😂 I try my best! Thank you 🙏
satisfying😌🥰
Thanks
I am getting prepared for the damaged face repair. You have not paint the nose knob right?
Depends on how nicked the nose is really.
If it's only missing a tiny bit, see through UV gel won't really be noticeable, as it reflects the color underneath.
If the doll is basically missing her nose, you probably do have to color match it :)
Это прекрасно!
Thank you :)
Amazing work! What paints do you use and do you dilute with water to avoid brush strokes? Also, do you seal the face makeup or just the finger and toe polish
Thanks! i used Winsor & Newton acrylics and mixed the colors myself. Diluted with water of course, and yes I did seal.
@DoeDeerWonderland thank you so much
@@DoeDeerWonderland i would love to see a video of you mixing paints
What can I do with a bubble cut that’s gone sticky?
Unfortunately not much. You can wash it with dish soap, but it’ll come back eventually..

Hi, I did mention in my video that the legs have been whitened using Hydrogen Peroxide :)
