Never heard of the SnuggleBumms before, it's always interesting to hear you talk about the background information and reasearch you did on these vintage toys on top of the freat restorations you do! I wonder what they had in mind when they designed this little guy. The body is definatly a dino, but the face and expecially the nose? The face sorta reminds me of Alvin and the Chipmunks (the old cartoon not the new animation movies). Regardless it's a really cute little creature and you did a great job! The paintjob looks great and the darker colour gives it more contrast to the colour of the body.
Thank you so much for your message 😊😊 I'm always surprised by the range of 80s toys. And some of the choices too! The face reminded me of old Disney dwarves! I'm glad you liked the result :)
n@@RetroGeekCrafts I remember the SnuggleBumms from the commercials I saw when I was a kid in the 80s. I don't remember seeing the pet versions, and my mom wouldn't let me have a SnuggleBumm anyway because she thought they were for babies, they were made by Playskool after all. Which is odd since she let me have Mrs. Potato Head, who was also from Playskool. Ages 3 and up, it said on her box. Ages 3, and UP.🙂
I think that Lucky feels VERY lucky to have such vibrant colors on them! I also think that if we can have a dog-like dinosaur on the Flintstones (Dino, of course), then we can have a dinosaur-like dog. Whatever they truly are, Lucky is a cutie and I'm glad they're looking fresh again.
I had SnuggleBumms growing up. I always called them Giggles, cause when you shook them they would make a giggly noise. I had have no memory of them having pets so this was a crazy find indeed.
I'd still consider this a restoration; I know a lot of restoration artists who make the shade of fur or paint they add a little darker to account for the fact it'll fade in time. Gorgeous work as always!
I’ve started restoring my old My Little Ponies thanks to watching you. Being able to fix the things that, as a child, I thought were unfixable has given me a tremendous amount of healing. Also, it’s like I get to play with my old friends again. So, thank you!! ❤️
That's so great!!! It feels great to rescue the toys, especially if they were important to you growing up. Like you say, it's such a healing process. You can become friends again with the person you were and embrace some of the feelings you had as a child. At least that's how it feels in my case, like I'm "reclaiming" my time alive 😊😊
Love the artistic choice to darken the spots and nose :) It stands out more and they pop! Loving the different toy line restorations, super fun as always
I’ve seen the originals before, but never this kind. They are oddly cute, I honestly would love to see customs of these guys, I feel like their base can make some cool creations.
I love this channel, the care and attention you give to these old little guys is so charming and satisfying. That said, for my personal tastes in cuteness... The G1 My Little Ponies were already pushing it😂 I'm sorry but this little guy is the freakiest thing I've seen, not for me at all! But I am glad he's getting so much love all the same
I really like the darker purplish shade for the markings. It makes them more visible and makes Lucky a more eye catching Dino-pup ❤ great restoration video as always :)
Recently I did a good cleanup of my G2 ponies. I don't really have the means to fix the color changes the plastic went through over the years, but they are now all clean and their manes are so soft. Since I took good care of them since I was a kid, I only needed to properly wash it. Thank you so much for all your tips about that, especially for the styling! I never would have guessed the hot water then rolling it around the neck/leg technique by myself! Back to this vid though... I like the restoration a lot! But I must admit the toy itself scares me a bit!
That's so great to read! 😊😊 It's incredible what a bath can do for these toys. Even if it has marks, they can be seen as part of their story. I'm glad you found the videos useful. Hehe I'm not sure why so many people fount it scary, but you're not the only one!
This little guy is so cute! As always you did an amazing job! For the faux fur using an xacto knife to cut it helps prevent chopping the fibers (altho you did an impresive job with those scissors lol) also if you ever dont want to order a bunch of fur you can go to a fabric site and order swatches of colors. theyre usually a couple inches wide which would be plenty for the head of a critter! :3
Thank you so much 😊😊 Ahhh thanks for the tip, I will try the xacto knife for the next one! That's such a great idea about the swatches!! I live quite far from... civilization, so shopping in person is a bit difficult and I am a bit more restricted to what's available online. I will definitely try this!!
Beautifully restored!! Lucky is very lucky to have been found by you! XD also! I'm sure you didn't have much problem with cutting the barcelonetta, but a easier "safer" (to avoid triming the fibers) way to cut it is to use an Xacto knife on the back to only cut the backing. I know there are some people who use thread snippers like you use to cut manes and tails! c: though you were very skillful with those large scissors!!
Its elements are all so cute, the body, the lil feets, the face mold (idk about the hair, but its the 80s so troll dolls i think were popular so hair may have been a popular trend), but adding them all together was..... definitely a choice..... i find it a little creepy ngl but i absolutely love the process of restoring these neat vintage toys while still respecting the individual toy's journey which is shown by stains and marks and personality by not completely repainting and covering up every single imperfection and getting an in depth background on the toy, especially neat with ones like this
Aww, what a cutie!! I've never heard of those before, but I think you did a brilliant restoration job and it is interesting to learn about different characters, thank you. 😊
thank you so much for introducing me to snugglebumms, they are so cute as soon as i watched this i got myself the other dinosaur "tuggles". im gonna try to restore him the way you did with lucky! itd be super cool to see more snugglebumms on your channel cus theyre so cute and a super interesting toy to restore or even customise
I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing/learning about this line! I thought they were so cute when I first saw them (which was not too long ago). I have another one in preparation; to be honest this video didn't too as well in comparison to others so I have to plan but I hope I can do one soon 😊😊
So cute! Someone else might have said this already, but with that furry fabric you can actually take like an exacto knife and cut along just the netting on the back and you should end up with a lot less fur everywhere!
Every toy so lucky to find its way to you!!!! This is so lovely, it always makes me really happy seeing how much love you put into your work. (I also really enjoyed learning about a new toy I had never heard of!! How adorable!!!)
Yey! I had Cutely snugglebum. She was peach and came with mini deely boppers (that my little sister was scared of for some reason) Makes me feel very old 😂 I always wanted the "Mum" as I think she glowed
@@RetroGeekCrafts they are great! It's now made me remember the "Keypers" range of toys. I had one of the mini versions (pink snail I think) but not a proper one. Your restorations are skilled and beautiful 💖
Your restoration is brilliant as always, glad to see that! Thank you for your videos, still calming and cozy. And I kinda wanted to tell a story. I've watched a lot of your videos and all that time wanted to try something like this myself. And I finally had the chance a couple of months ago. I was taking out the garbage bags and saw a ripped off one near the local trash can place (it's a thing where I'm from, I just don't know how it is called)) ) with something familiar in it. I checked and it was the G4 Rarity toy, "the cutiemark magic" one. She lost her accessories, her mane was really tangled and she didn't glow when I pushed the button. I took her home, cleaned, washed and untangled her hair just like you told and did in your videos. It worked perfectly! And more to it: she suddenly started glowing again! It's like she was happy to be clean and loved again and not being in the trash can) So... Thank you for the tips and inspiration. For the chance to find and save new toys we'll love like ours. And for the hero-like feeling. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but it meant a lot to me. Thank you again. And keep up the good work. :)
Thank you so much (and I'm so sorry for the delay in replying to you). It's so great to read you got a chance to try restoration! Wow, that's amazing that you found a G4, she was waiting for you!! 😊😊 I'm so happy you gave her another chance and that the tips helped. It's a wonderful hobby, you won't be able to stop now :P
You are wonderful at what you are doing, so inspiring! No need to worry about time for replies, we all have our time for everything at its time, I'm just happy to see it no matter how many days passed. Now my dream is someday try to rehair a toy. Maybe this rarity (if i figure out how to open it safely), maybe a random fakie from the local store (like a custom). You always make in look so satisfying, especially the result, it just makes me feel excitement every time)))
I had some of SnuggleBumms as I thought they where so cute. If I remember I think Lucky is a dog. 🙂 Have to say love your Chanel, puts a smile to see many of the toys I had growing up with getting a new life.
Someone mentioned it could be like a Flintstones dig, and I think that makes total sense! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos 😊😊 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need help with restorations!
My friend worked with a lot of faux fur, and he advised to never use scissors. Use an Xacto knife to cut from the backing to prevent cutting the actual fur on the other side. This restoration looks really good, even though this particular creature's face gives me uncanny-valley vibes.
Ohhhh thank you for the tip!! I combed it first, which helped, but I think I will use the xacto knife thenext time 😊 I'm glad you liked the uncanny creature though xD
Super Cute, I have never seen this one before. I had the purple Snugglebumms but I haven't see any of their friends! Thanks for the info on the "troll" hair, I didn't know what it was called to be able to find it online.
Barcelonetta appears to just be the fabric company name, the type of fabric you used for the hair is called faux fur. It's a little too late now but sellers like Howl fabrics sell smaller swatches of faux fur that would probably be cheaper
Aww he looks so cute like that! I really love his little nose and the way you did the spots, though I wish the original manufacturers did spots on his back too. Would have really brought the design together in my opinion (BTW thanks for the subtitles. It made it a lot easier to keep track of everything that went on in the video.)
Thank you 😊😊 I think spots on both sides would make sense too. Last video I tried the automatic subtitles and they were quite bad, so I went back to doing them manually. It takes a while but I'm glad to hear they were useful. Next step is to try and get them translated to a few other languages!
Now I’m even more curious to see you do other vintage toys. Sky dancers, trolls, maybe even Barbies one day (though I hear they are quite difficult to restore)
I'd love to try so many! I check everywhere but it's so difficult to find toys in bad condition. People just throw them away :( I have a couple of vintage Barbies I'd love to restore and make clothes for. Soon!! 😊😊
what an interesting little fellow! i think this is going to lead me down another rabbit hole on GhostOfTheDoll I get so lost on that website sometimes, theres so many neat little things on there... (also looking on there there seems to be a photo from a flier or magazine where Lucky has some really bright pink spots, so maybe you were actually bringing out the original true vision? 🤔)
I love that site, there's SO MUCH there! I get lost too 😊😊 I need to check that photo, I don't remember seeing it. I looked on google images and they all looked so pale, but I think it's just because they were listings. Thank you for the tip!!
It looks so much better, that new wig really does make a difference. Btw if your trying to smooth down clay I would try Vaseline I’m not sure if it works with two part but it does a number on sculpty clay, just makes it easier to smooth down but can be very messy a little goes along way.basically stoped me from having to do as much sanding when I was clay modelling I would recommend giving it a go test it first though haha :D
Awww, you gave it new life again. So cute. I love your videos. Did you happen to decide if you could do a Bruno Madrigal custom? I’d be soooo excited to see you to that.
TBH you say the color was lighter, and you darkened it, but I have known from observations of old toys is that the paint color always fades a bit in shades, so you may have made it more close to the original colors.
Ooooo you should make fluffle puff from the fluffle puff fananimation my little pony thing they were super cute shorts fluffle puff has a super fluffy everything and it looks like the material would be a match eee it a idea . Anyhoo have a lovely day ☺️ the Dino looks super cool I always love watching your videos it so relaxing to watch ya videos and one of your video helped me put the tail back into my pony so thank you 😊
I am actually considering it!!! I think that could look really cute. I'll see which pony needs a full customization and fuchsia it up! 😊😊 I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos and trying your own repairs!
I use faux fur and I’m strictly opposed to the craft knife method. Cutting from the back, use just the tip of the scissors, opening them only far enough to slide a few millimetres at a time. Your thread nipper, if it’s sharp, would also work well, the idea is to keep the blade on the fur side as close to the backing material as possible so that it parts the fur rather than catches up the strands.
@@theGhostWolfe Yep this is how I was taught to cut fur. Slide your scissors between the fibres cutting only a small bit of the backing at a time. I can't do it with those big bulky scissors though. I use some with a much finer point to them.
@@tej20001 I generally don’t recommend scissors as big as mine, but they are very sharp and are only used on fabric, so they’re in excellent condition. I just use them out of habit because they’re my “fabric scissors” >.>
is there a reason you cant use the oxygen stuff with the soap? seems like an extra step to use the soap then soak it, couldnt you soak it then use the toothbrush with soap with the same water? oxyclean is usually marketed as a detergent booster it might even be more effective after soaking.
Actually... I didn't think of that xD Some of the videos take a while to make, as I have to fit activities when I have work breaks, and I forget what I've done. But that would make sense! 😊😊
Hey maybe check out charity shops, I am thinking that those fur leggings that were popular in the clubs ages back. I am sure you could use the fabric as its the same fake fur. Just a thought.
Oh no!! You can try to get replacements from another damaged doll, or you can make them yourself using epoxy putty. I create a little "bone structure" with metal, and then wrap that with milliput and sculpt it. It's not a super easy process but it's quite straightforward. If you use metal inside the arm, it won't break. Good luck!! 😊
I don't feel this is the right time to do so as I fear it could be used in a way I don't intend. I did the Ukraine one for a very specific purpose (to raise funds for the red cross). But I would like to do a countries customs series in the future! 😊

I need to find him too :D :D :D
Yep, I agree it’s a Dino.
😊😊
Would love to see you do some of the dam troll animals! They’re so cute!
I'll see what I can find!! 😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts I checked eBay and turns out they are VERY expensive so maybe stick to more SnugglePet’s if you can find them! 😂
what an interesting little fellow! i think this is going to lead me down another rabbit hole on GhostOfTheDoll I get so lost on that website sometimes, theres so many neat little things on there... (also looking on there there seems to be a photo from a flier or magazine where Lucky has some really bright pink spots, so maybe you were actually bringing out the original true vision? 🤔)
I love that site, there's SO MUCH there! I get lost too 😊😊 I need to check that photo, I don't remember seeing it. I looked on google images and they all looked so pale, but I think it's just because they were listings. Thank you for the tip!!
I LOVE love love your videos so much they make me want to restore toys again too
Thank you so much 😊😊 That's great to read. I hope you do!!!
I like you customs is so cute!
Thank you 😊😊
Not sure if it's cute or lowkey terrifying, but either way, you made it look amazing!
Hahaha thank you 😊😊
If you find another one, I give it more Dinosaur like feature, see you on your next video. :)
I tried to keep all the original features but I'd love to do a custom some day! 😊😊
Super simpatico ! Quedo precioso
Muchas gracias ☺️☺️
It looks so much better, that new wig really does make a difference. Btw if your trying to smooth down clay I would try Vaseline I’m not sure if it works with two part but it does a number on sculpty clay, just makes it easier to smooth down but can be very messy a little goes along way.basically stoped me from having to do as much sanding when I was clay modelling I would recommend giving it a go test it first though haha :D
Thank you so much 😊😊 I will try the vaseline. I hate how sticky the clay gets! Great tip!
I've never heard of using vaseline, that's genius!
Can confirm it does work on milliput. Baby oil will also do the trick.
😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
😊😊
Awww, you gave it new life again. So cute. I love your videos.
Did you happen to decide if you could do a Bruno Madrigal custom? I’d be soooo excited to see you to that.
Thank you so much 😊😊 I definitely want to but I have so many projects in development! Soon, I hope!
I love your channel
Thank you so much 😊😊
Cute
😊😊
te quedo super bonito
Muchas gracias 😊😊
@@RetroGeekCrafts tus trabajos son hermosos tu siempre te esfuerzas por hacerlos lo más bonito posible
a good tip for faux furs is to cut them with a craft knife only through the backing and not the hair fibres.
Thank you so much for your tip! 😊😊
TBH you say the color was lighter, and you darkened it, but I have known from observations of old toys is that the paint color always fades a bit in shades, so you may have made it more close to the original colors.
wow cool toy :0
😊😊

Ooooo you should make fluffle puff from the fluffle puff fananimation my little pony thing they were super cute shorts fluffle puff has a super fluffy everything and it looks like the material would be a match eee it a idea . Anyhoo have a lovely day ☺️ the Dino looks super cool I always love watching your videos it so relaxing to watch ya videos and one of your video helped me put the tail back into my pony so thank you 😊
I am actually considering it!!! I think that could look really cute. I'll see which pony needs a full customization and fuchsia it up! 😊😊 I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos and trying your own repairs!
@@RetroGeekCrafts ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a tip on cutting fur for the future cut from the back using a sharp exacto knife or box cutter so you don't cut the fur.
Thank you!! I have to try this! 😊😊
I use faux fur and I’m strictly opposed to the craft knife method. Cutting from the back, use just the tip of the scissors, opening them only far enough to slide a few millimetres at a time. Your thread nipper, if it’s sharp, would also work well, the idea is to keep the blade on the fur side as close to the backing material as possible so that it parts the fur rather than catches up the strands.
I made a video ages ago, finally uploaded it: czcams.com/video/SbDhdMXxUws/video.html
@@theGhostWolfe Yep this is how I was taught to cut fur. Slide your scissors between the fibres cutting only a small bit of the backing at a time. I can't do it with those big bulky scissors though. I use some with a much finer point to them.
@@tej20001 I generally don’t recommend scissors as big as mine, but they are very sharp and are only used on fabric, so they’re in excellent condition. I just use them out of habit because they’re my “fabric scissors” >.>
I love it ,scary creepy but love it🥰
I've really glad you do!😊😊
WOW! It looks great! Can you do a lego minifigure paint restoration?
Thank you 😊😊 I would love to repaint a mini, I'll think about what I could do!
I would like this guy a lot more if he wasn’t flesh colored 😬 that tail gives me the willies. you did a great job though!
Ahh! That's an interesting point!! I didn't think of that :) Thank you 😊😊
DINODOG 🥰
Yes!!!!!! 😁😁
is there a reason you cant use the oxygen stuff with the soap? seems like an extra step to use the soap then soak it, couldnt you soak it then use the toothbrush with soap with the same water? oxyclean is usually marketed as a detergent booster it might even be more effective after soaking.
Actually... I didn't think of that xD Some of the videos take a while to make, as I have to fit activities when I have work breaks, and I forget what I've done. But that would make sense! 😊😊
Hey maybe check out charity shops, I am thinking that those fur leggings that were popular in the clubs ages back. I am sure you could use the fabric as its the same fake fur. Just a thought.
True!! I almost bought some fluffy slippers but this strip was cheaper. I live far from the city so it's a bit hard to go to the shops :)
@@RetroGeekCrafts True. I look forward to an army of trolls next.
I have a puppy who chewed the arms off of a Barbie to the first joint. Is there anyway to repair that?
Oh no!! You can try to get replacements from another damaged doll, or you can make them yourself using epoxy putty. I create a little "bone structure" with metal, and then wrap that with milliput and sculpt it. It's not a super easy process but it's quite straightforward. If you use metal inside the arm, it won't break. Good luck!! 😊

Dinosaur or Dog?
Who knows! (Playskool, maybe :P)
LuckLuu
Um- I know, but I'm asking again - sorry, but can you make a pony for Russia? so if not, that's fine.)
I don't feel this is the right time to do so as I fear it could be used in a way I don't intend. I did the Ukraine one for a very specific purpose (to raise funds for the red cross). But I would like to do a countries customs series in the future! 😊
Totally looks more like a dinosaur than a dog. It doesn't even have ears and the tail is much too chunky/wrong position to be a dog.
Right?? Hehe 😊😊
Such a cute result!!!!
Thank you 😊😊
I had one of these!!! Just a regular one. Mine had no tail.
They are really special ☺️☺️
