They are some of the most beautiful fashions. The quality is pretty good, with the exception of the purple stole. But at least they included it and tried lol
Great haul!!! I LOVE that 'Poncho Put-On' yellow vinyl poncho and orange/yellow houndstooth jumpsuit as it's one of those eccentric and unique fashions from the early 70's! Those Madame Alexander Cissy dolls are major!!! Even the TLC one is so charming. Also love that 1983 'Party Nights' fashion pack. I remember seeing that purple outfit with the fur stole on a Golden Dream Barbie in the 1983 booklet and thinking that she stepped out of a scene from 'Dynasty!' LOL I also loved seeing your childhood dolls, especially that gorgeous Hawaiian. And I always have a soft spot for Beauty Secrets Barbie!!! I got her for my 10th Birthday and it was the special edition with the three-way full length mirror... I chose her myself at a big city department store.... (Though truth be told, I REALLY wanted Beauty Secrets Christie!) Memories!
I remember seeing the poncho put-on jumpsuit on a PJ when I was in high school and thinking it was sold by itself. Because I actually love it. I didn’t know it was sold with that poncho until recently, always learning new things lol 😂 YES! I saw Cissy and said “oh yeah, you’re coming with me.” I’ve restored 20 now, and each time one comes out better than the next! I’m very excited to get started on her. I have so many dolls waiting in line though in front of her, so we shall see when that will be. But I do know that her restoration will be helpful to collectors as well. Because she is a typical played with doll that you’d find, and a lot of people are afraid of the investment of getting one like this and not really knowing what to do with her. I was so tempted to put that purple dress on golden dream actually, but Hawaiian Barbie to me has always been a vixen. And I think she filled out the dress pretty well. But eventually it’s going to be a dress shared by many lol I’m really loving the superstar era right now, and I’m keeping my eyes peeled on the fashions! Thats so cool that you got the special beauty secrets doll with the mirror!! Christie is on my list, so I can see why you wanted her! I actually think she’s prettier. I have watched deans video on his a million times!!
You’re my new fave. I’ve been binge watching your videos. You’re so funny, and relatable! Sometimes I feel like an old lady collecting dolls. (SNL version). I’m not old, but you get what I mean. You alleviate that. Also, you choose great dolls to work on and unbox. You and I have similar in taste in barbie, but I don’t restore. I’m too much of a purist. It’s dumb, but I like them in the clothes they came in lols. I buy them in box and open them, unless they’re really pricey. Anyway commenting for the algorithm 🙂
Aww thank you so much! I’m so happy you found me, and like what I’m doing! I appreciate that you’re a purist. Those dolls must still be around and be taken care of so that’s great. I collect what I know I can get cheaper, as I know I can make them original looking again:)
I’ve recently gotten a lot of the same dolls you show! Cool Sitter Skipper, Ocean Friends Barbie, Winking Western Barbie, etc. Great video! Just subbed. 💖
@@ispybarbie yayyy welcome to my doll room:) thank you for being here. That’s awesome! Quite a coincidence! Hopefully your skipper is better than mine, who needs a new body lol 😂
omgggg i just found your account today and i LOVE it!!! your collection and restorations are amazing! and i love your personality 🩵 immediately subscribed :DD much love 🫶
Yes! Thank you!! My collection is vast. It used to be much larger even so. But I have had to cut down a bit and share the love so to speak. And allow myself to restore items and let them go back out into collectors hands. Thank you for the compliments and being here!!
I LOVE your videos SO MUCH! I look forward to every one! Are you on Instagram! I want to share your videos, but I feel like people would definitely follow you on Insta and then here. Your videos are so helpful, I consider myself to my an intermediate doll restorer, but I’ve definitely learned so much already from you! I’m so excited for the Madam Alexander video and the Winking Barbie video. I love the winking gimmick, but the unrestored ones look scary to me! 🤣😁 I will definitely pick one up if I can restore her to some of her former glory! 💝 Thank you for sharing! 😁💝
Well thank you so much! I am! My Instagram is Fallconary615 I’m so happy you enjoy the videos and will be here along for the ride!! I have some exciting plans in the works! And I hope to see you there. I also hope that the western video will help you! It’s an invasive process. But I’m sure if you follow along you’ll do great! I’ll make sure to be extra thorough on it, and not leave anything out.
Great video and I am enjoying your channel very much. I am relatively new to doll collecting (at 52 years old 😂) and just purchased a NIB Pink n Pretty which was my childhood doll, which I still kind of have, but let’s say my children didn’t care for her as well as I did. Anyway, after seeing the condition of the Russian, I am more torn than ever about whether or not to take the new Pink n Pretty out of the box. It never occurred to me that there could be so much hidden damage inside the box.
That is awesome! Welcome to my channel and I hope you enjoy my videos:) I personally would enjoy it then, as why not. Who would you be saving it for?:) your enjoyment is what matters! But Russian Barbie was an extreme cause. She wasn’t the everyday. But certainly didn’t think she would be THAT bad!
Hello 👋 from Connecticut. I just found your channel and I have been enjoying it. I too am a Barbie collector who’s desperately trying to recreate my collection with the Barbies I grew up playing with as a lil girl. I’m a more “mature lady” 😂 of 54 so we are talking the vintage time period from the mid 70s until the early 80s. So that would be Superstar Barbie, Golden Dreams, Beauty secrets, black Barbie, Hispanic Barbie and Pretty in pink. I didn’t get a chance to own western Barbie as a kid but my friend did and I got to play with hers. You did an excellent job transforming your western Barbie!!! She looks prettier then the ones straight out of he box!!! 💜💃💃🏽
Awww thank you so much for being here and your kind words!!! I’m happy we have found each other, and you enjoy what you’re seeing! I have some great plans coming in the works, and I hope you’ll be here along for the ride! I’m so happy you were able to experience the superstar era first hand. I bet it was something else! I got to experience very late 90s Barbie and mostly early and mid 2000s Barbie. But the big doll craze that i remember was actually the Bratz dolls. My older sister and I were very fortunate to have as many play things as we had, we had Barbie, bratz, and 3 American girl dolls between us. I need to do a collection tour, and separate them by era. So that way we can all reminisce about the dolls of the past!
@@disneybarbiegirl615 Yessss please I would love to see your collection! From the glimpse I’ve gotten it looks amazing! Barbies were an escape for me growing up in the 70s and 80s. I have lots of stories about Barbie. Like, how I lost Superstar Barbie’s head in the lake lol. 😂 Or how I used the Mego Cher doll as Barbie’s villain!! 🤣
Yes she does. The Saran variant actually is the more common one. Making the platinum hair doll more rare. However her rarity is kind of a curse considering how crap the hair is. It’s not good nylon. It’s poly. But a flat iron treatment helped her!
@@huntertomlin3523 I’ve found several! If you’re looking out in the wild good luck, I hope you find one with both hands! If you look on eBay, and you’re looking for an affordable doll, type in 1979 barbie. That’s the trademark date on her body, and lots are listed “1979 Barbie” not knowing they have beauty secrets. Good luck on finding her! She’s really cute!
@@disneybarbiegirl615 she was actually only 4.99 I am not too familiar with Cissy so I actually thought it was a revlon doll but no it’s Cissy I got her with a few other Alexander dolls, Nina ballerina I think I found aswell
Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦 Quite an accurate representation that poor russian barbie has!😂😂😂 Nice clothes, but all the surprises are gross and disgusting...
Yay Western Winking Barbie! Can’t wait! ❤❤❤
She’s gonna be an exciting video! I hope you stay tuned for it!
Can't wait! I just got one and to be honest, she looks like she needs to go to AA
@@gabriellevallons8248 😂😂😂
I’ve cleaned a couple Barbie dolls with your methods and they come out squeaky clean and the hair shines. Thanks for the tips
I had Beauty Secrets Barbie too! Those little tiny pieces she came with were so hard to keep track of!
Your humor reminds me of the hilarious and amazing Micarah Trewers! Please keep creating!
Aww what a compliment!
Oh! Party Nights! I love those fashions so much!

Well thank you so much for that, and being here!!💜💜💜
Fun thrift haul! I love old dolls and fixing them up. I look forward to seeing you fix up Cissy. Your good one is beautiful!
Thank you so much! She’s gonna be a project, but I’m so excited to get started on her. Cissy dolls are pure magic!
Absolutely love this haul

wow, i thought mattel never used nylon, especially before the 2010s! does beauty secrets barbie have a saran hair variant?
Yes she does. The Saran variant actually is the more common one. Making the platinum hair doll more rare. However her rarity is kind of a curse considering how crap the hair is. It’s not good nylon. It’s poly. But a flat iron treatment helped her!
Lovely haul how much did you pay for the cissy?
Oh gosh I don’t remember. But she wasn’t very expensive. I have to restore her still
Beauty secrets is the Barbie is the one I hope to find

Literally found a cissy with this outfit today at goodwill
Aww I hope she wasn’t too expensive!!
@@disneybarbiegirl615 she was actually only 4.99 I am not too familiar with Cissy so I actually thought it was a revlon doll but no it’s Cissy I got her with a few other Alexander dolls, Nina ballerina I think I found aswell
Thinking about getting a western barbie but she will need tlc. Hopefully, I can make her wink again because right now she looks very drunk.
I’m sure you can! If I can do it so can you. I didn’t use any fancy 3d printing or resins. If I can film it sometime soon, it’ll be a good watch!
OMG I’ve never seen a doll with ticks. How bizarre!
@@perfumedelight66 I know. It’s called a flea market not tick market
@@disneybarbiegirl615 😂😂😂
How do you wash thier clothes?
With hot water, oxyclean, dish soap, rinse, hang dry, starch, low heat iron press. Lol
Oh no not the literal fleas on Russia Barbie from the flea market lol 😅
Literally lol 😂 can’t believe I paid for them too
Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦
