    Am I the only one who feels strangely emotional watching old, neglected, roughed up toys get all cleaned up and restored again? And ALB does it so gently and lovingly, I'm happy Mimi's been adopted by such a nice person, she's appreciated and cared for again 🥰

    hey! i’m a doll customized/restorer and i have a great hair styling tip for you!
    pouring hot- not boiling- water over the hair while in curlers helps keep them in shape! because it’s plastic, the heat shapes it into better curls. if you don’t do it too hot- so the plastic doesn’t melt- you can get a really cool hairstyle!
    hope this helps :D

    There's something so comforting about those soft-shaped, gently pastel toys of the late 80s / early 90s. Takes me straight back to puffy unicorn stickers, Care Bear t-shirt nighties, Polly Pockets, and the ever-multiplying amount of little plastic hairbrushes that seemed to materialise from nowhere. 🌸💙

      I wish they came back to this formula of making toys/dolls, it's just so beautiful and simple, I don't like these flashy wacky fashion dolls with ugly eye-burning color palettes and patterns and gigantic heads and eyes 😔 they've become too repetitive nowadays, especially with the blind bag gimmick.

    @sonamy3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +372

    I'm no expert, but I think the "grime" in her hair might be glue. Some dolls with rooted hair use glue to secure it, and it can melt/seep out over time, causing a sticky/grimey feeling, and even yellow discoloration around the "scalp". Idk how she was made, so I could be totally wrong.
    Also I haven't finished the video yet so if the glue theory is mentioned I'm gonna feel silly lol

      It's either that or rust, as lots of toys, especially vinyl animals, used metal washers to secure the hair (see around 15:10) back in the day.
      I say this because I have a G1 pony with hair "rust" or something.

    Mimi's face and hair reminds me a tiny bit of these toys that were sold in the very early 80s called
    "Sea Wees" They were usually sold in sets of a mermaid mom with her mermaid baby and a mer-pet, like a walrus, or a half parrot with a fish tail and a sailor's hat.
    The mermaids had brushable hair, and they came with a teeny comb and a floating shape (sometimes like a lilypad) that they could rest on. They were darling!

    This reminds me of when I was visiting a neighbor of ours as a kid and the neighbor’s kids found a little orange kitten under one of their cars on their driveway. He was skinny but not starved, and very very dirty and flea-bitten. They took him inside and bathed him in the bathroom sink. We could see the dead fleas and blood come off of him. My neighbor dried the kitty with a towel, then a low hair dryer. At first he was afraid of the hair dryer, but as he dried off, he realized he felt better and he began purring loudly. They ended up keeping him. They named him Henry.

    I vaguely remember having one of these toys when i was little. Had i known how rare they were, i would've probably taken better care of mine.
    Also a good tip on getting the fuzzies out of toy hair is to use fabric softener and warm water. Soaking the hair in that solution will help soften it and make it easier to detangle and style

    Hi ! I'm 14 and I have been giving my toys makeovers since I was 6, I usually help my plushies by removing their stuffing with newer fluffier stuffing and fixing them rips and adding accessories 🧸 sometimes I change them a LOT by like changing their pose or face, adding tattoos or patters, perchings, yknow :> I also scrub my dolls and my friends dolls. I fixed my friends toy up a lot once and I did it's hair and made it from dirty old sticky dreads to long beautiful bouncy shiny hair! I enjoy doing it and wanna start a business one day.

    I loved the aesthetic in this video. I recently started thrifting for baby clothes and I find myself drawn to this early 90s aesthetic a lot. I myself was born in 1997, but I spent the majority of my childhood wearing and playing with hand-me-downs from friends' kids who were born in the late 80s and early 90s. All the ruffle/doily collars, mint, lilac and pink pastels, nici fabrics, and crazy patterns just feel so nostalgically cozy and home-y to me.

    this is exactly how one of my teachers spoke and she genuinely didn’t understand how so many people fell asleep in class, imagine this but instead of listening to some lovely asmr you’re trying to listen to someone talk about literature and the structures of one of the hardest languages in the world for 2 hours straight
    she legit ended up getting fired after a year of working because she sent messages to our parents (as well as gave bad marks that every teacher would see for as long as you’re in that school) and gave detention over jokes, also literally everyones grade dropped in that class
    i have like 20 marks from her and they’re super annoying, we couldn’t swear, make jokes about sex, alcohol, drugs, murder, suicide and worst of all you couldn’t even insult yourself, no forgetting your pen or eraser, no hoods or hats, no phones visible, questions had to be answered formally (very hard for students like myself), no fidget toys, not allowed to leave the class no matter what (i once had an adhd episode where i got extremely overwhelmed and that turned into a panic attack and she refused to let me leave), no easier study material for people with learning difficulties, no talking to friends and the shittiest of them all, if she even had a slight suspicion you and your friend copied from each other it would be automatically a fail, and what was the worst thing about it is that since most of us looked up the answers from out textbooks and just copied them from there, it just looked like a lot of us copied from each other, aka sometimes 1/3 of the class would fail

Kitty Surprise box art is my absolute favourite, and I collect kitty surprises and their kittens. I had so much fun going through the box art for these toys with you.
    ETA: omg, I was so sleepy from the ASMR, I missed when you told us the images were from wiki and eBay listings! I’m going to have to sleuth them out. I find them so inspiring! I get most of my pictures from the website “ghost of the doll” , but often they are quite small.
    When you said she was going to have some nice curls I thought to myself: “oh, she couldn’t be in better hands!” You’re the wet set expert!!
    I would love to see you draw/paint her in a video in the future, seeing these kitties in your style in gouache would be so amazing. No doubt in my mind that they would radiate just as much love and care as the original box art!!
    Wah, this is my favourite!!! It makes me so so happy.

I had a blue one and maybe one that was another color, but they came with a small bottle like a baby’s bottle and when you put it in their mouth, the nose would light up and I think the nose was heart shaped. I don’t remember what it smelled like, but it was nostalgic for me.
