    When I was a kid my sister had one of these. She would keep it on her dresser and it would light up. I’m totally sharing this with her. Love you

      It makes for a pretty night light! I wish you could have the towers lit up but not have the chimes... As an option, that's make it look so pretty in the dark.
      Oh my gosh that's awesome. Let me know what she thinks.

    Oh my god I remember playing with this thing as a kid and I totally forgot about it but I clearly remember this castle, I didn’t even know what it was called or what it was from I think it was like a hand-me-down from my older sister or something. Either way this was a huge nostalgia trip for me.

    This brought me SO much joy. My mother had one of these that sat on a shelf in my childhood home. She use to let me play with it from time to time. This took me back to childhood that I completely forgot about. Thank you so much for this.

    My hubby bought me this one as well as the Beauty and the Beast castle for our first Christmas about a million years ago. Thanks to you I will be dragging them out of storage 😊🙌. Thank you Queen Bebut!

    My daughter had one and we’ve just reclaimed it when she moved and didn’t want it any more.. We couldn’t even remember how it worked so looked thru TH-cam and found you! Wow, thanks so much. We even have the key and then found most of the little figures, minus one of the horses. All 4 batteries were still there but think have removed them and the corrosion. Very happy. Now to clean it thoroughly and I’ll be following your tutorial with many thanks! It’ll be put aside for grandchildren. 😀

    Gorgeous restore! So amazing that you were able to save and "have" such a fantastic creation. it is a shame that Cinderella and one of the other figures turned out so.. scary while the others are quite wonderfully made. YOu did a fantastic job- :)

    • @NexJen
      @NexJen  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Love it . I managed to restore a Barbie bed set from the 80s just cause I was curious . I love the stuff this castle does when it strikes midnight.

    @MeepM33p 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ah, toy restoration. One of the most nerve wracking and relaxing things I've ever done. I've restored over 100 my little ponies and it's one of my favorite things in the world to do! You did a really great job on this castle, it's beautiful!

  • @nothanks1239
    @nothanks1239 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had this when I was a kid. I'm 31 now and forgot all about this until I saw this video. It brings back so much nostalgia. It almost makes me sad knowing how distant my childhood memories are.
    Thank you for uploading this video.

  • @discordwonderland1707
    @discordwonderland1707 5 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Oh my gosh. I had one of these, but it was smaller. (My cousin had the bigger one) I lost it outside when I made it Into a fairy house after watching tinker bell and I forgot where I put it.

  • @amarie5620
    @amarie5620 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This was one of my favorite toys as a child omg I remember getting it from a yard sale. I was obsessed with keys so I wore the key that it came with around my neck to school & everyone would ask what they key unlocked & I would say “it’s a secret” lmao wow what fun memories!

  • @yuzurudropa3956
    @yuzurudropa3956 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    AAAAH! I had this castle as a kid! About everything was missing from it, but It suprisingly worked still. I am so shocked about the cottage tho, because I had NO idea you could open it, and I am now worried if some of the people might still be in there..
    I didn't have any dolls in the right size, but I do remember I had some old tiny dog figurines. So my Cinderella castle has become the Puppy Castle.

  • @jonayburgess7014

    @kittenmimi5326 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Man, the details and quality of this old toy is incredible! Nowadays lots of toys are of a much poorer quality and no detail and there are some that is good but it is pretty hard to find amongst all the crappy ones.
    Nice pp restoring! Love this vid

    @koridavis7306 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for posting that website. After your first polly pocket originals video I couldn't remember what came with mine. I had the purple heart from 1993 with the bunnies. I'm shocked my mom let me have it since I was only three years old at the time. I wish I knew where I had it I'm sure my mom put it in a yard sale. Now I'm on a googling spree for old toys I had.

  • @dodisrestorationandrepair6339
    @dodisrestorationandrepair6339 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice restoration, Jen. Couple of things. You don't need to add salt to your paste, baking soda is a great cleaner all by itself. Add a couple of teaspoons to the water you clean your fridge with...it's amazing. Do keep a pencil eraser around when you have battery powered items to clean. Simply "erase" the flat pad the battery sits on. It removes light corrosion without damaging the electrical box, plus it gives a slight lubrication. Great things to have around, pencil erasers.
    One last thing. I know you hate Play Doh, but it's a great cleaner. The grit you feel is from the baking soda and salt. Just moosh your play doh onto it and it will absorb into the clay. After all, play doh used to be wallpaper cleaner! Historical fact! It sill does great cleaning stickers without taking them off.

    You should check out this stuff called RetroBrite. It's specially formulated to remove that yellowing from aged plastics. Mainly meant for old computer casings.

    • @willowashe
      @willowashe 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Retrobrite is a process, I don’t believe it’s the name of an actual product. It’s done with peroxide, most just use hair developer because it’s really cheap. As long as this is made of ABS plastic, it should work.

  • @eyeofinnocence
    @eyeofinnocence 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved this toy so much when I was a kid. I still think it was a very well done toy, when you opened it up, it was like it had little fun alcoves and what not and idk I remember I had a lot of fun with it and overtime I lost some of the pieces, some of the flags broke off, and I don’t think it chimes or makes noise anymore. And I lost the key for it and had to use a butter knife 😂. My mom told me my niece has it now and plays with it still.

    I think this kinds of video will interest a lot of people, specially if you are going to show and explain an even harder restoration.
    It would be an interesting feature to your channel, since i didn't see any other toys channel doing these.
    Also I really hope you gain even more subscribers, you really deserve those. you are the only toy channel that I can watch, relax and actually have a good time! I enjoy your energy and your voice since is so natural and not forced to sound "girly" and recited.
    I hope you the best!
