  • We hit 200,000 subscribers! I'm so happy that all of you wonderful people take time out of your days to watch me be me. It's been a tough year in so many different ways for all of us and I just wanted to show my appreciation and try to give you something to enjoy in such difficult times. So after waiting and waiting I finally had a great reason to open up my prized vintage Barbie Polly Pocket Dolls from 1994! They needed some love and care so I decided to do that while showing some more issues you may encounter when collecting vintage stuff.
    I hope you all enjoy and I sincerely appreciate everyone who's supported this channel and me by giving me their time, support and lovely comments. Our ever-expanding family means the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without you.
    I'll see you all in the comments.

    1) Even as a kid I hated when the hair had the plastic and stitching attached to it.
    2) Omg. From your video I just learned that when I inherited some old barbies from my cousin I got Stacie from this collection.

    I still have Polly Pocket Stacie from when I was young. I remember the kid dolls but not the Barbie. I've never had an old playline doll's rings or earrings stain, but those hair elastics are done for. I love seeing the old catalogs too. The Kelly in crib, the Baywatch dolls, the Tropical Splash dolls, YES this was my era! Pure nostalgia.

      @NexJen  4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Oooh did her elastics snap?! I wonder. So good to know that they haven't stained I have had it happen once or twice from a faux gold and a faux silver.

    As a doll collector who loves fixing up old dolls, I thought I'd let you know you usually won't have to worry about regular plastic accessories like the earrings or rings staining the doll, at least not with dolls manufactured after the 60s. It's usually if they have a metallic finish, either because of being actual metal or a shiny metallic paint, that you usually find staining, and it usually happens mainly on the face or rubber legs (something to do with the chemical reaction between the rubber/vinyl and the metal, I'm sure). It was actually an issue with Luna Mothews from the Monster High doll line, the one with the metallic headpiece. The metallic copper color stains her ears if left on.
    As a side note, I wonder if maybe Janet was created later, and if that's why Stacie's box only shows her and Whitney, but then Mattel realized, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't exclude the black friend?" I'm sure they probably designed Stacie's box first since she would have taken priority over Whitney (because, you know, she's the main friend), and they may have printed her boxes before deciding to add Janet. It might also explain why Janet didn't get foam in her backpack, if they were trying to get a bunch of them made quickly before the line launched, and it could also be why she seems to have more problems. If they needed to manufacture her quickly, the quality control may have been lacking. Unfortunately, Mattel didn't always give all of the friends the attention and love they deserved . . .

    • @Alex-km9uw
      @Alex-km9uw 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah, but in that case Whitney and Stacie would have the same packaging, but in this case it's Whitney and Janet who have the same packaging. If Janet was only included into the line later on after Whitney and Stacie, she wouldn't be featured on Whitney's packaging. It's just a bit weird.

    Btw, *to fix the cracked neck.* Heat up the head with a blow dryer and remove it. Use clear 2 part epoxy and apply into the crack with a sewing needle. Then use a wood clamp (something with rubberized grips as to not scratch her) and leave her overnight. Then just put the head on!

    I am having rampant flashbacks watching this. Not the dolls specifically, but the backpacks, especially Stacys. That pink just sent me back to childhood. Once you opened it to show the inside I freaked out, that interior is exactly what I had as a kid. 1994 I was 3-ish, so I must have gotten it later at some point.

    I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that toys from 1994 were "vintage"! It seems like yesterday to me! Being born in 1965 I had some of the earliest Barbie dolls although they were all well played with and my mother must have donated or thrown them away when we moved from Connecticut to Maine. *sigh* But I love your cheery, toy-filled videos! You got me addicted to LOL dolls that I open and share with my granddaughter. We are taking care of them waiting for the day when they will be vintage!

    Omg Jen this was so much fun! I love it when you introduce stuff that I never thought existed or even would enjoy! These are super cool and I'd totally pick up the Barbie! Her dress is super cute! And mood on the toy collecting, toys are awesome and fun. And we all need a dash of fun and laughter in our lives (however that may be to each individual). You're one of the big reasons I started actually indulging in my want for toys, especially dolls! I've been wanting monster high dolls since my teens but was too self-conscious to request them for my birthday or Christmas. So I ended up missing out on something great but now I have my own money and a bit more confidence so my doll collection is growing!
    If you don't mind me asking, if you've come across them what do you think of the change from the cardboard playsets to plastic carrying case hairdorables have done with their series 4? Personally, I'm not big on it but the dolls themselves are still awesome!
    Anyways, I love how entertaining you make education and every vid you make if interesting and fascinating in their own way. Keep up being awesome!

    It makes me sad to see vintage dolls disintegrating in their perpetually sealed boxes so it made me very happy that you took yours out to fix those issues, and I especially appreciated how careful and thorough you were when doing so! I’m an adult on the autism spectrum and dolls have always been a special interest of mine. I personally like to open and display my dolls outside of their boxes, so I always get a certain thrill watching videos of people opening vintage dolls that have never been touched before! I also understand the desire for and appeal of keeping them in their original packaging so I think it’s really awesome that you took the time and effort to have the best of both worlds whilst also creating an exciting, stress free, and ultimately very satisfying viewing experience for people like me!
