  • We hit 200,000 subscribers! I'm so happy that all of you wonderful people take time out of your days to watch me be me. It's been a tough year in so many different ways for all of us and I just wanted to show my appreciation and try to give you something to enjoy in such difficult times. So after waiting and waiting I finally had a great reason to open up my prized vintage Barbie Polly Pocket Dolls from 1994! They needed some love and care so I decided to do that while showing some more issues you may encounter when collecting vintage stuff.
    I hope you all enjoy and I sincerely appreciate everyone who's supported this channel and me by giving me their time, support and lovely comments. Our ever-expanding family means the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without you.
    I'll see you all in the comments.

    1) Even as a kid I hated when the hair had the plastic and stitching attached to it.
    2) Omg. From your video I just learned that when I inherited some old barbies from my cousin I got Stacie from this collection.

    I still have Polly Pocket Stacie from when I was young. I remember the kid dolls but not the Barbie. I've never had an old playline doll's rings or earrings stain, but those hair elastics are done for. I love seeing the old catalogs too. The Kelly in crib, the Baywatch dolls, the Tropical Splash dolls, YES this was my era! Pure nostalgia.

    • @NexJen
      @NexJen  Před 4 lety +9

      Oooh did her elastics snap?! I wonder. So good to know that they haven't stained I have had it happen once or twice from a faux gold and a faux silver.
      I thought the additional poster was awesome, so neat to see all those older sets, now I want them hahaha.

    As a doll collector who loves fixing up old dolls, I thought I'd let you know you usually won't have to worry about regular plastic accessories like the earrings or rings staining the doll, at least not with dolls manufactured after the 60s. It's usually if they have a metallic finish, either because of being actual metal or a shiny metallic paint, that you usually find staining, and it usually happens mainly on the face or rubber legs (something to do with the chemical reaction between the rubber/vinyl and the metal, I'm sure). It was actually an issue with Luna Mothews from the Monster High doll line, the one with the metallic headpiece. The metallic copper color stains her ears if left on.
    As a side note, I wonder if maybe Janet was created later, and if that's why Stacie's box only shows her and Whitney, but then Mattel realized, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't exclude the black friend?" I'm sure they probably designed Stacie's box first since she would have taken priority over Whitney (because, you know, she's the main friend), and they may have printed her boxes before deciding to add Janet. It might also explain why Janet didn't get foam in her backpack, if they were trying to get a bunch of them made quickly before the line launched, and it could also be why she seems to have more problems. If they needed to manufacture her quickly, the quality control may have been lacking. Unfortunately, Mattel didn't always give all of the friends the attention and love they deserved . . .

    • @Alex-km9uw
      @Alex-km9uw Před 4 lety +5

      Yeah, but in that case Whitney and Stacie would have the same packaging, but in this case it's Whitney and Janet who have the same packaging. If Janet was only included into the line later on after Whitney and Stacie, she wouldn't be featured on Whitney's packaging. It's just a bit weird.

    Btw, *to fix the cracked neck.* Heat up the head with a blow dryer and remove it. Use clear 2 part epoxy and apply into the crack with a sewing needle. Then use a wood clamp (something with rubberized grips as to not scratch her) and leave her overnight. Then just put the head on!

Since you'll be taking Janet's off anyway, it might be worth poking in there with a Q-tip to see if it's flaking out- if it is, you can use Fabric Glue inside to stick everything back down properly on all four!

    Omg Jen this was so much fun! I love it when you introduce stuff that I never thought existed or even would enjoy! These are super cool and I'd totally pick up the Barbie! Her dress is super cute! And mood on the toy collecting, toys are awesome and fun. And we all need a dash of fun and laughter in our lives (however that may be to each individual). You're one of the big reasons I started actually indulging in my want for toys, especially dolls! I've been wanting monster high dolls since my teens but was too self-conscious to request them for my birthday or Christmas. So I ended up missing out on something great but now I have my own money and a bit more confidence so my doll collection is growing!
    If you don't mind me asking, if you've come across them what do you think of the change from the cardboard playsets to plastic carrying case hairdorables have done with their series 4? Personally, I'm not big on it but the dolls themselves are still awesome!
    Anyways, I love how entertaining you make education and every vid you make if interesting and fascinating in their own way. Keep up being awesome!

I also had the Barbie roller skates (loved them), a Barbie tabletop pinball machine (loved it, can't find it online... can you?). I wish I had my Mother's Barbie California house to send to you (it was HUGE, took up a ton of floor real estate). I would also give you my Barbie alarm clock (funny how the fm cable antenna got better reception when I held it), the Barbie "cd" (they were fake) player, Barbie cell phone, "landline" phone with big purple buttons... gee, I had a lot of Barbie.

    Congrats Jen!! you deserve all of the subs!! It's refreshing and so uplifting to watch a content creator who is unapologetically joyous about what they share, your energy and your charisma makes all your videos interesting to me, even those featuring collectibles I'm not familiar with and I learn about them with you.
    I remember this collection! I wanted the Whitney doll so bad! But if they ever came to my country, my parents missed it at the time, or maybe they were too expensive. A blend of Barbies and Pollys was like a dream for a 90s kid lol.
    I think that the two Pollys from Janet's set you were unsure of are from two Pop Ups sets from 1992, the flower-holding one looks like a re-painted Polly from the Pop Ups Flower set and the long haired one looks like the doll from the Pop Ups Butterfly set. It would have been a good move from Mattel to put in the boxes which sets they were from, to prompt interest, but like you said, Polly info was lacking in these boxes.
    I think my favorite doll from 1994 might have been Baywatch Barbie, I played with it all the time, she came with a lot of accessories and a dolphin that made sounds, I'm pretty sure I still have them safe in a box. My cousin had in 1994 a Polly I always wanted but didn't get to own at the time, Grandma's Cottage, I loved that it had a window seat and I was obsessed with the window seat in Muppet Babies lol I used the window from the Magical Movin' playset as a makeshift window seat when it was opened because the design of the house was similar. It's so funny to me now that having Magical Movin' Pollyville, which had so many cool features, I was concerned with the window seat situation, but kids' minds work in mysterious ways.
