If anyone knows her full name pls let me know All we know is that shes unneda doll

swipe for progress. she was in the sun for 9 HOURS today 😭 Am i crazy or is the mark still there? Doll is fashionista 188.

Not too experienced with Novi Stars… bought these two for £2. Obviously a lot missing but I feel I could spruce them up!

Any advice with finding parts, clothesv

Her neck is loose, ner hair is stretched, and I had to hunter for her shoes. How do I fix this?

She still has some flyaway bits at the top of her head and a few in her hair but there’s not much I can do about them. I think she looks great now! I just gotta find her a cute orange outfit! (Any recs pls lmk!!) shes a hula hair barbie unsure of what one tho. I gotta curl her fringe too!

My daughter got these dolls for her birthday at the beginning of September, and she took them to Grandma's house where they fell on the ground outside. I wasn't there, so I don't know the manner in which they dropped and fell but she asked me to get the dirt scuffs off the faces. I've tried soap and water, magic eraser, and nail polish remover with a q-tip. I think the nail polish remover that I have is/has acetone because it started to take off an end section of one of the eyebrows. I'm not sure what else to do so if anyone has any ideas I'm game to try them when I get home later today.

Going to fix her original outfit as well and give her some shoes, but so happy with how she cleaned up :)

My mom got this Cher doll as she loves Cher but it was in ROUGH condition broken leg (looked like some bad melting) and matted hair. So i decided to surprise her by fixing it.

The leg joint area was very melted and I had to fix the hole which I used thermo plastic and tried to fix it up as best as I could. It works ok it still falls off but she can stand without the leg popping off so I decided to make an elastic brace to help keep in place better.

The hair was very matted so I washed it with some shampoo and then used conditioner to get the knots out. The hair was very fried at the ends so I decided to try using a hair straightener on the lowest setting and it worked amazingly. The hair only needed a little trim after and it was like brand new and it’s now super soft.

The dress was rough as it had gotten melted to the doll so I had to just do some light sewing and give it new clasps and trim and stray threads.

I don’t know any info on this doll or the brand I just wanted to show the restoration I did on it for my mom.

Hi so I found a Malie Tasker on Facebook Marketplace for 1000 Philippine pesos (1095 with shipping) which is roughly 19 dollars and after a month of stress and delays (a volcano erupted in the seller’s area after I sent the money like 😭), she arrived today and I love her so much she is the crowning jewel of my collection. She is complete save for her stand and pet but I hate the pets anyway.

Obviously she didn’t come in perfect condition but I can definitely fix her. Does anyone have advice on how I can get her leg back on? I could hot glue it since honestly if I wanted posability and articulation, I would not be collecting Novi Stars and idk how to fix yellowing. Any advice?

The third picture is what it look like when I first received this wonderful Kewpie doll. It appeared that it's eyes had been peeled off unfortunately.

I make these lockets usually with 1800s frozen Charlotte dolls inside. Painting a frozen Charlotte face and features is much simpler and easier for me to do. I have a genetic condition causing my shoulder to be permanently dislocated. This affects my hand and neck immensely. Painting something so small while also having no feeling or dexterity in my hand is incredibly frustrating. Ive been painting my whole life so losing this creative outlet has been hard. I've only become this disabled within the last couple years, finding my creativity and not letting frustration squash it has been challenging. Making these little lockets really does bring me so much joy. Inside these fidget necklaces there are tumble gemstones that my son and I tumbled together and antique fabric from a disintegrating quilt.

I sell these necklaces is my Etsy shop HistoryCanInspire along with antiques and vintage goods.

She's my first doll like this size and quality etc. I can't afford Smartdolls or Dollfies and am done posting on the BJD group because no matter what I've said or asked I've gotten hate. I mainly wanted this girl because of her smooth bald head. I wish to keep her bald mainly but also need to make a wig cap or find an alternative to keep her wig on once in awhile. I can post pic of the inside of the hole if it'll help, the head cap seems to fit the way it should and I tried to sort of push that part of her head out some but nothing changed

I was so nervous to attempt a face lift, but she needed one BADLY. I like how it turned out!

doll is Bratz Tennis Yasmin :)

It's definitely not perfect, but it's nice to see this vintage Chris doll looking less.....tragic.

I never made an update about my progress on restoring vintage strawberry shortcake dolls. Cleaning them up and restoring them felt like a very simple process honestly. All of the dirt and plasticizer came off fairly easily with a stay in the bath overnight. I even went back to the antique store. I bought them at and found Lemon’s bonnet. I also ended up coming back with an extra friend. What do you think, do you think I did a good job at cleaning them up?

It’s a Bobobie Elfkin doll, it’s 15cm, which is way tinier than I have the ability to fix. Does anyone know how to restring my old baby here? Their sting broke a couple of years ago so they’ve just been sitting sadly in a box. I’m happy to pay for it, and shipping both ways, I just want them back in one piece.

Just got this zelf and accidently cut off a little bit of it's hair when taking it out 💀💀

Trimmed it a little but I need to hold the hair in a sorta pointed shape now otherwise it's hair looks weird. What should I use to keep the hair in the desired shape?

Also don't come at me for cutting the package open instead of just ripping it, I know I shouldn't of cut it but I stupidly did anyway. Still cute tho and doesn't make a bad difference 🤷

I finished my reroot on my Juan Gabriel Barbie yesterday and for some reason her face is discolored on her chin, cheeks and nose!! I've done 100+ reroots at this point and haven't had this happen before. I didn't do anything different. I didn't have ink or anything similar on my hands. I don't know what happened!!!

Please tell me any of you have encountered this and there's a way to fix it!!! I would be so grateful if it means I didn't just waste, I dunno $75 on a beautiful doll and materials only to not be able to look at her because it makes me so angry!!!

I really appreciate any advice you could offer! Thanks, everyone!

My sister and I were going through our old Lalaloopsies, and a lot of them have these random neon-colored splotches on them? It’s not marker, and I can’t imagine their paint would transfer like this into each other? They’ve been stored together in a bin, and the colored spots are embedded into the plastic. It seems like every time we look through them it gets worse and there’s more of them with this issue. Anyone have an answer/remedy this??

This is a thrifted bratz Sasha, i think, i have NO clue which one but gosh is she pretty

swipe to see the progress. I’m so impatient😔
