Restoration What would you do?

• Upvotes

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.

Restoration USPS held my JLY 21 hostage for 10 days but she's finally MINEEE!!

21 Upvotes

I've wanted JLY 21 since I was a little kid and I'm so excited to have her, however, she's a bit more TLC than I expected from the listing—it mentioned "frizzy hair" which I was fine with because she's an early 2000s doll (she has the PC stamp + the early 2000s box) and the pin curls were my main priority, but there's a dryness problem on her ends + two of the pin curls are much rougher than the other side. So, I'd love some hair restoration advice. I've read a couple articles but maybe people on here have tips I haven't seen yet.

Also, she was advertised as having "shine marks" and what was actually on her face was some kind of spilled shiny stuff (maybe makeup?) that came off with water and scrubbing but left behind a little shine. I'm not really worried about working on those further, I'm happy with the results, but she has two HUGE scuffs on the side of her face. Since the scuffs aren't near her cheek blush, is it safe to try to buff them with a magic eraser?

Doll Identification Rescue find

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 🤍

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!

Cool Picture Trick or treat!

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.

Restoration Advice on fixing squished, wonky eyes? Mckenna !!

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

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 !!

Discussion Why are AG scams so prevalent on Vinted?

9 Upvotes

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.
