    She looks lovely! I know the doll customizing community is a big fan of using plastic straws and bobby pins to create curls with boil-washing; then you can curl the hair vertically and be sure of its direction beforehand. Might be something to look into!

    To be fair, most factory curls on dolls tend to go in the same direction so the end result is pretty much era accurate. Also I am glad the pipecleaner has worked out well for you! I can never quite get curlers or the straw method to work since doll hair for me tends to not hold the curl as tightly as I need it and pipecleaners can overcompensate in general.

    I hope there will be much more videos of doll restoration on your channel in the future. 💗 It is so nice to watch it and it helps and inspires me with my own dolls. I don’t have any Sailor Moon dolls (I have Barbie, Winx and Mia and me dolls), but it keeps me motivated to „save“ them when I see how nice your dolls look. I don’t need to put mine back into the boxes (I don‘t have the boxes, some of them I even got without their boxes or without any clothes or whatever), but I want to save some childhood memories, I want to put them into my shelf for decoration and I love to design unique doll dresses and outfits (but I didn’t succeed in making them yet. I always failed or gave up. ._.) . 😂

    She’s beautiful and I would have died to own her as a kid. I’ve only restored a couple of vintage My Little Pony dolls that were not packaged. You did such an amazing job taking her out and putting her back in her original packaging. I would have been so scared. 😆 I totally need a vintage Sailor Moon doll. I had a really cheaply made Sailor Moon doll as a kid (it may have been a knockoff actually) that was later donated to Salvation Army by my mom (including all my VHS tapes). Hope they brought another kid joy lol. 🥲

  • @Donteatacowman
    @Donteatacowman Před 2 lety

    Yessss to the bit at 1:45 - having gotten into the doll collecting part of youtube, I'm still at least a little baffled at people collecting dolls, never touching them, and keeping them in packages as untouched display pieces. I get it if it's a historical piece you can't damage - but otherwise, what's the difference between a doll and a printed picture of a doll? No shade, just, yeah - they're posable 3d art made for interacting with :) Even in the package, plastic will break down, light damage will happen, and heck, there are probably factory defects. I've never seen someone so carefully preserve/restore the box itself!
    I appreciate the info about fabric softener. I own it and have only ever used it on cheap wigs and, more recently, a plush I bought and loved but that had a really scratchy fur texture. I tried to read up on it, although I never thought to check if it was vegan! (I know that's a different discussion - I'm a vegetarian and honestly would care more about this for the "ew" factor, since I doubt any animals are getting slaughtered specifically for fabric softener.) lt took some digging to find the ingredients for mine, but "Dihydrogenated Tallowamidoethyl Hydroxyethylmonium Methosulfate" is in there. Hard to read any sources about this process because I don't know the chemistry behind, uh, "levulinate ester ketals," but "tallow" is in the word so I'll just go with that. Although for all I know, that's the most sustainable word in the sentence, since I know that tallow's a Soap Thing from Way Back When. And from what I can tell, there's no way to 100% remove fabric softener, but again the sources on this are pretty sparse.

    I would do the acetate replacement window, and maybe add a rainbow strip of LEDs (the ones that stick but are non-damaging) and also try to only iron out the box in the absolute necessary parts that need to be fixed. I'm guessing you probably paid anywhere from $400 to $1200 for this doll, and it's beautifully worth every penny! So make sure you get some good quality clear acetate to replace the cover, or go with acrylic sheet, since acrylic will stay cleaner longer and won't cause static issues! Just my advice :)

    Yoo, new Tama video! I vote for keeping the box as is.
    Also for humidity issues, is there a desired humidity level for them? In the TCG community I've seen ppl use humity packs (I've been recommended Boveda but I haven't tried them personally) to keep stored cards at a right humidity & to prevent them from warping. Maybe something like that could work with a doll box in a container?
    Good luck, and I hope to see more from you soon!

    • @TamasRoom
      @TamasRoom  Před 2 lety

      I think that the situation isn't quite as fragile with doll boxes vs trading cards, but they do sort of create the perfect internal environment for mold to grow, so it's something I pay attention to. I live in a somewhat damp environment where it rains a lot, so I will periodically run a dehumidifier in there in the rainy season just to make sure it stays good and dry. Although really I think where you start seeing it be a real issue is when things are stored in garages or basements for long periods of time where they're not regularly checked up on or dusted, I don't hear of mold growing in bookcase displays very often.

    I remember I had this doll (well she had the classic sailor costume, not this one) and as a good 90s kid I brought her with me on the beach and her hair became a mess. I tried to wash her hair and it got even worse but at least I got rid of the sand XD I don't know what happened to that doll, but I found her sailor dress many years later in a box where my grandma used to keep her sewing kit.
