Rescued this sweetie today… not sure how to go about cleaning and repairing her.. tag says 2014 but I’m unsure which doll she may be?

Hoping to clean and clothe her and tuck her away until my daughter is a bit older. Though, My OG Molly is on display in our living room and my toddler has recently started to realize she’s there and keeps wanting to play with her but she’s my OG! lol

Am I able to wash the body at all? Good way to clean the hair and nail polish on her face? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! She was free though so if it’s a lost cause it’s okay 🤍

I just recently downloaded Vinted and, while late night scrolling (on post surgery medication, mind you) fell for two scams pretty instantly. 😅 When I woke up and came to my senses, I got refunds pretty quickly from support. BUT, now that I am scrolling through new listings, I swear every other listing is pretty clearly a scam (new user, no pfp, no review, too-good-to-be-true pricing, and evidently stolen photos). What’s going on with Vinted? I’ve used Poshmark and Mercari forever and never had this problem! I love that Vinted does no seller fees and free(ish) shipping, but it’s definitely concerning to see.

I’ve decided to cut the hair on one of my dolls and I’m looking for inspo pics. If you’ve got a doll with their hair cut shorter than their usual factory style can you please post a pic? Especially dolls with short hair and bangs!

Pic of Wren included just for attention. Her hair is shorter than I’m aiming for but I want to see all the dolls! ☺️

I remember asking my mom why I couldn't get more AG dolls. "SARA (Stephenswodadancer) has over 20!" "Well Sara has more money than us" 😭

I’m not sure if anybody else has had similar issues with the American girl dolls that you buy at Sam’s Club the ones with the chair and the long hair looks I got one of them finally because this is the closest one to me as I don’t live near an American girl doll store and first things first is that I love the chair it sticks to the table. We all love that in the chair goes backwards so that you can wash their hair in like a sink. That’s what we like.

But the doll itself was a little disappointing. Mine didn’t have the long hair in fact, hers went down to her back, but it wasn’t like the long hair looks that we see online. I’m OK with the wig not being centered. I mean it bothered me a little bit because it was centered in the box in the photo but I can live with that but what I don’t like is that the refs were falling out and I just took her out of the box. I didn’t even cut any string. I was able to like wiggle her out.

I’m not sure if anybody else has had issues with this, but I don’t understand why the quality slipped. I’m not gonna return it because I don’t have a membership and this is like one of the best salon chairs I’ve ever received. I’m just gonna change the dolls wig, but I’m just so surprised that they would let this be sold, especially since this is a doll that is meant for kids to play in their hair.

Hi world! My mom surprised me with Mckenna !!! but im thinking her last owner either stepped on her or sat on her or otherwise crushed her face because her eyes are no longer aligned. I saw the videos on eye replacements but I hope you can understand how intimidating it is 😩

I have no experience with fixing dolls. I have a heat gun to heat up the vinyl if necessary, but I guess what im asking is: Whats the least-invasive way to fix this issue? 2nd Pic shoes the gaps at the bottom of her sockets. Mckenna was the GOTY when I was at my peak interest :)

I took her head off but the idea of squeezing her face around and posaibly damage her more is scaring me.

Very sorry for my word salad, I dont often ask for help but I would really like some more insight

If i used the wrong flair/anything else please let me know !!

Do you guys think this Elizabeth Cole?! She’s 25 locally. Do you think she’s worth it ?!

Has anyone taken apart a soft body mini doll? Are they the same as the 18" dolls? I am wondering if I can wash a soft body mini doll and restuff her

I found this doll at ouac and for 30 dollars and I'm now aware that I definitely overpaid. she was wearing clothes so I didn't see her body until I got home, I thought this would be a rewig and a limb tightening but what I found was an our generation body with 1 authentic AG leg (the tan leg lol). I've taken her apart and cleaned her but I'm not sure if I want to hunt down an authentic body or restring and fix this one. Aside from the issues with her body the previous owners did their own rewig and and they used several types of glue fortunately it was mostly hot glue and easy to remove but what's left is a hard glue that won't budge. I used a knife to scrape off a lot of it but on the part near her face I'm not sure what to without making her worse. Any advice would be helpful. Also if you have any guesses on who she was that'd be appreciated too.

I washed their hair! I’m happy with how it turned out. The blonde one has some blue streaks in her hair, but I’m not that bothered by it! I guess her past owner had fun with marker or something! :3

Looking for help IDing these dolls. All have American girl stamped on the back of their necks.

1- wavy blonde, no freckles, feathered brows, blue eyes
2- straight blonde (at home cut bangs), no freckles, straight brows, brown eyes
3- straight reddish hair (at home hair cut), no freckles, feathered brows, blue eyes
4- tanner skin, wavy reddish hair, no freckles, green eyes, feathered brows
5- dark brown hair with right sided part and side bangs, freckles, feathered brows, blue eyes

The queens treasures Im considering getting a couple of their cats

I got this Pleasant Company JLY 9 second hand, and she’s in great condition other than her haircut, which was cut and is too thin to style.

I’ve never re-wigged a doll before and would be a bit nervous to (esp since she’s pleasant company), but it would be nice for her to have thicker hair.

Or is the mullet sorta look she’s got going on a slay? Thoughts? :)

This past Saturday when I was going to AG place chicago, I asked one of the employees who worked there about what happened to the GOTY display and they said they don't have it anymore, they were not entirely sure what happened to it. But I'm pretty sure if you have an AG store in your home state, they may still have the display.

Found Felicity my first day of vacation! 🥳

Ellowyne Wilde getting her Wednesday on with the American Girl cello.

She’s 16” as compared to AG’s 18”, and has a slighter build all around. But I kept thinking that the cello seemed to be scaled a little bit small for the AG girls, and of course their arms are less posable, so I gave it a shot with Ellowyne. Voila! (But not viola.) (Even if half the listings I saw online were showing the violin when I was looking for the cello. Learn your instruments, people.)

I love her so much. She’s a pleasant company Molly who had an unfortunate haircut… I wasn’t feeling the baby bangs so I bought her a new wig which is actually Rebecca’s. I love her curls. I think I’m going to call her Jeanie as Molly’s middle name is Jean… but open to suggestions ❤️

Fallout doll update!

Amelia's undercover Milk Maiden outfit with her favorite companion, Red Vines!

I still have to sand and paint all those pieces I posted earlier, but, when these two commissions came in (the outfit and the brahmin), I had to share this as well.

Outfit is designed by me and made by lovefromlola on Etsy. It includes a light under dress, green over skirt, a striped dirdle, a mustard dirdle, a yellow flower apron, and a green cloak inspired by a nun's attire.

Boots that aren't seen are from Queen's Treasures

Brahmin was designed by me and made by apothecarytoothfairy on Etsy

*Disclaimer: the Brahmin is made from two discontinued Garnet, Caroline's pet calf, plushies. I ensured that there was plenty of Garents to go around before pursuing this commission, as I didn't want to take an ultra rare item from collectors.

Doing a Trunk or Treat on Friday where I'm doing an American Girl Club and I just carved my pumpkin! Well, my mom did most of the work, she's good with the carving.

The girls are ready for Halloween!

Josefina wears the Cinderella outfit from Emily Rose (Amazon). Very nice quality; very full skirt with satin lining and even a white tulle sewn-in petticoat. Bodice is lined as well. Silver shoes with a blue jewel on toe. My only complaint is that the bodice is too long for my AG dolls. Josefina is very slightly taller/ longer torso than the others, and it still seems too long to fit correctly.

Samantha wears a non-AG poodle skirt and pink cardigan I bought many years ago,that also came with a sheer pink scarf (tied around her ponytail). The saddle shoes and socks are also off-brand and I use them with other outfits at times.

Claudie is in the AG Jack o’lantern costume from a few years ago. No notes, it works and fits well. My only complaint is that I don’t think it would fit my PC Samantha.

Charlotte (TM 33) wears Maryellen’s cowgirl outfit. The skirt waistband is pretty tight. My doll was bought new in (I think) 2021, so she’s not one of the older, chunkier dolls. That’s my only complaint with this outfit. The shirt buttons with real buttons.

Nanea wears a Wonder Woman costume from Amazon. This one was a bit disappointing (it’s not Emily Rose). It came without shoes/ boots, there’s no finishing to the single thickness metallic knit fabric that makes up the arm cuffs and headband. Still, it’s a costume, not intended to be worn by a child all day. Also after buying it, I regretted buying a costume that could only be worn in warm weather (yes I’m weird that way!). It’s often warm here for Halloween, but can be cold and rainy. Of course, Nanea trick-or-treating in Hawaii shouldn’t have to worry about getting cold!

Melody of course is in the Emily Rose Jasmine costume. This is another high-quality outfit from Emily Rose.

Jack-o-lantern treat containers came from Big Lots or the Dollar Store.

I believe I've already done one of these, but I just love my 80! ❤️I think she looks fantastic in light pink. I really need to get her some more outfits 🤔

I was so happy to take Courtney to see the Fraggles live! Courtney wore her new shirt and had her Fraggles with her.

Last year someone gave me their childhood doll, a white bodied Samantha. At the time I cleaned her up, tightened her limbs etc. I wanted to keep her original wig but I was also so scared of ruining it so it took me a while to get around to curling her hair. It’s not exactly like Samantha’s factory curls, but I’m happy with how she turned out!
