    Love the restorations!! I also have a pc Felicity, but was graced by the Mattel gods to get her second hand from a fellow collector. Yours cleaned up BEAUTIFULLY🩷

    Erick, thank-you for this fantastic video! I think I'm going to attempt to restore my sister's Kirsten after watching this. It seems fairly simple. 😅

    I love how you fix felicity ❤❤❤, I do have questions, will you able to have the best friends dolls of the historical Characters? Like ruthie, Emily, Nellie or elizabeth

      thanks so much!! hmm, i actually don’t think so. the main reason being that they didn’t give kirsten a best friend doll, so i’d rather not get any since she is my favorite 😅
