23:27 YES!!! I discovered this point while restyling my After Five Barbie's ponytail recently. I used to restyle my dolls' ponytails immediately after rinsing their hair. It's easier to do it on dry doll hair!
I cannot believe I put my sad Sun Lovin Malibu PJ in the "Free" box at my yard sale a few weeks ago. 😭 She looked just like yours. I thought she was beyond hope. Well. I've certainly learned my lesson!!!
Great video! They all turned out beautifully! I’m glad you mentioned the fabric softener trick that so many “restorers” have said to use. I used it on my dolls and you’re absolutely right about the drawbacks of the smell and stickiness! Now I just use conditioner. So excited about what you have next for us! 😃💖
What a fabulous video! I just love these restoration videos you make. Love your kitty sitting up on the back of the couch. She looks just like my Misty kitty who lived to be over 23 years old! Loving all the adorable fashions you put on the dolls and wow I can't believe the swirl reroots. OMG such a good job then whammy at the end, that outfit for PJ. I have that outfit that I thrifted but it did not have the tie part that goes around the neck. I couldn't figure out how on earth a doll could wear it, but now I see mine is missing the tie. See, I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks ever so much for sharing!
They all turned out beautifully! That raven ponytail is stunning though 😍I can see why you'd want to keep her. 100% here for the Patreon. I get my greenproof earrings from a seller for a really fair price, but being able to make them as and when I need them would be a lot more convenient.
We all love love love your videos, so don’t ever second-guess keep making them please please please. I still can’t wait to see you do a brunette Marlo flip mod Barbie.
You are a freaking rock star⭐️ I would love to be able to do what you do! The way you bring new life into your dolls is just so inspiring and beautiful and I thank you for sharing your knowledge with us❣️❣️
What a treat this video is! I love vintage Barbie! You did such a wonderful job on all these dolls, they really do look so much better! I have to say I also really like the number 4 ponytail haha. The earring idea is cool as well, I avoid earrings because green ear is scary lol. Your videos are so appreciated and loved, it means a lot you come to share with us even though you have a crazy schedule!
Wow!! That Malibu PJ (I collect PJs!) is a revelation!! I had no idea that there was this variant!! Gorgeous!! Love your restorations I’ve only just discovered your channel and have now subscribed! 🤩🩷
Totally agree with you there are barbie lines back in the 90s richwell Philippines manufacturer of barbie recycled their barbie parts and accessories and released in different lines of Barbies back then.
Omg the mommy dearest clip killed me im in tears over this video I needed this restoration today and your amazing work and sense of humor 😅 keep these videos going I have a few dolls that need to be restored but haven’t gotten around to them but this is getting me started on them, I have that Francie doll and that pj as well
Such a great video!! I love your tutorials because you take the intimidation factor out of restoring dolls on my own. Ive been able to restore my 3 Midge dolls and they turned out awesome
I have the Barbie-face Sun Lovin' Malibu P.J. variant in the box, you did a great job making her look new again. And yes, that #4 is definitely a showstopper, she would be the doll I would keep from this group as well.
Great Job, super gorgeous!!!!! Especially the No 4 Ponytail. Can you tell me something about the superglue? Is it like the normal supergkue weich will turned in a Stoff and hard condition or will it keep soft and elastic? Thanks for the tutorials!!!!! Love it! Rolf
You have so quickly become one of my favourite creators! I love watching your videos - your sass and humour while dropping real barbie facts and restoration techniques is 😙🤌
Could you do a specific video on painting ponytail lips and brows? Those are the hardest bits to get right. Also which brushes you use for the job. I love no. 5 as she's the first one I got, but I really want a 3.
Your work is amazing! Thank you so much for your videos! Have you ever worked on removing green ear and recoloring a Casey doll after her skin turns a ghastly yellowish green color?
Love love I MEAN LOVE every restoration you do … Basically every video you do I love it ❤… just wanted to know could you also put in your patreon how you fixed the legs on the American girl Barbie ? And how to reroot to turn a bubble cut in To a swirl? Thank you so much. Oh or you can have those videos here under the memberships ( it’s like patreon but from TH-cam) since you are busy ? I would love and appreciate it if I can have a memberships to your channel ❤
Im from the Philippines and i have a few vintage dolls but i dont have barbie made in the Philippines im still on the look tho❤ love your videos very educational especially the face paint and lashes
I've been around long enough that I have actual experience with what can happen over time when you use things like fabric softener or cleaners not made for dolls on hair or vintage vinyl. Some of my dolls spent years in storage, some in their vinyl cases (don't do it) and some in cardboard boxes surrounded by clothes and accessories. Stored in a place where the temperature fluctuated with the seasons, I think heat made the things that went wrong go wrong faster and harder. Some dolls came out stained by the dye from their clothes. I suspect that it was fabric softener that made the dye bleed, since the color transfer only happened to the fabric softened hair and not the vinyl body. I also had a couple of bubble cuts that were stored lying flat in the box. Where their hair rested on the cardboard, it became matted to the extent that it looked almost melted. The hair was also very sticky. Both needed a reroot and from the scent of them, they had been given the fabric softener treatment some time in the 70's. I also have noticed that clothes treated with fabric softener seem to attract and hold dirt easier than those that are washed without. My motto now is gentle is best so I use the least amount of chemicals I can get away with but that's just me.
Dang i was literally thinking of this channel like a minute ago 😂😂😂😂 i was like dang i want to see a dakota video and to my surprise you uploaded one 😂😂😂
You are extremely talented!! Thanks for sharing your tips. I still have my Franci. I need to finish her reroot. Do you have any tips for sticky vinyl heads. I have a 1960s era Skipper. Her head has gotten sticky over the years.
GREAT WORK!! I'd love for you to go a little more in-depth on changing a bubble to a swirl. You don't knot the hair when you are rooting it? I too don't use fabric softener. I get a gallon of Tres Eme conditioner at Walmart and it lasts forever, lol.
I've watched all of your restoration videos and I don't remember seeing one that shows you removing and replacing doll legs... but then my memory isn't the best. You didn't show that in this restoration video either so I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on limb and body replacements.
God i wish i am the same country as you, so i can bring my dolls to you to get repaired. my ag has the same neck split, and it’s always failed when i try to fix it
I missed the part how you traded out your AG doll's leg. I have one with both "noodle" legs. There are no vinyl splits in her legs. Just broken. What legs did you use to be a donor?
Hey...My Scene dolls..I did already have a decent thrifted Chelsea, & so I just got Barbie, so Chelsea had a friend. Maybe I'll grab Madison on sale if that happens. But I'm not a fan of Barbie's partially crimped hair. It seems when they crimp saran, it feels burned. It's not soft, & it's dry. I let just the hair sit in a bowl of just boiled water, thinking it would straighten & soften it, but didn't do a thing. So, I'll probably just leave it. Maybe do a conditioner rinse. Not a huge deal, just crimped hair isn't my preference, but it's ok. Her outfit is pretty nice. I think $40 is a little much, but oh well. That's why I just got one. They have boring make up. If they release more, with more dramatic make up, I may get another.
I’m a simple girl, I see a new video from Disney Barbie Girl and I CLICK
Same!

I really like the vintage Barbies with the bun, it's a sophisticated look that I can imagine her having while wearing her fancy gowns 🙂
It was the Sam and Mickey reference that had me 😂😂😂. Beautiful job as always!!!!
I cannot believe I put my sad Sun Lovin Malibu PJ in the "Free" box at my yard sale a few weeks ago. 😭

Love seeing barbie close I had as a kid
I loved this! I have so many dolls that need restored.
That # 4 is stunning! You did such a good job restoring these lovelies!
I love your dialog. You get me chuckling ❤❤❤
They all turned out beautifully! That raven ponytail is stunning though 😍I can see why you'd want to keep her.

Ooh how fun! I got my snacks ready to watch! 🎉
I'm so here for a Patreon because I just love picking up crusty dolls at thrift stores and making them beautiful again.
Such a great video!! I love your tutorials because you take the intimidation factor out of restoring dolls on my own. Ive been able to restore my 3 Midge dolls and they turned out awesome

Please tell how you attached the bun, it is not clear in the video. Thank you!

I love this!! Can you please tell me what type of paint you use for the makeup . Is it acrylic for hard body or soft ?
God i wish i am the same country as you, so i can bring my dolls to you to get repaired. my ag has the same neck split, and it’s always failed when i try to fix it
Hi Love your videos, wish I had your talent. May I ask where you sell your restoration?
I missed the part how you traded out your AG doll's leg. I have one with both "noodle" legs. There are no vinyl splits in her legs. Just broken. What legs did you use to be a donor?
I wonder if people popping their free moving barbie heads off and onto a standard TNT body was a common thing, because mine had the same thing!
CLEAN UP THIS MESS!!! 😂😂😂😂
Hey! Looking to restore my Sun lovin’ Malibu pj and I was wondering where you got the beads from?
To be fair PJ started off with Julia's head mold anyways and later on Steffie's. I wonder if she's ever had her own mold? 😵

What size are the beads?
I think I’m second
Darn old neck splits Lower the value a lot
