It's neat that your parents keep all your doll and accessories safe for you.

[@dolls2remember]

Right! I am so grateful they kept it all !!! Xoxo

[@derricksdollcollection]

3:00 HOW did you not lose Dorothys shoes?! Those were always the first to go for me lol 3:05 that is from the 1998 Trevco Dorothy! 9:13 I am so envious of the Bratz stuff. The quality and details! I loved how well played with all of them are. I mean not for resell value lol but that isn't the point. I just imagine them in Barbie Land looking like that lol

[@dolls2remember]

I have TWO pairs of her shoes still!!!!! Idk how!!! And omg THANK YOU! I need to look it up

[@shel2805]

I loved watching. It reminded me of the barbie bob haircuts I gave my dolls.

[@dolls2remember]

Awwww!!! Thanks so much! And yes it was very fun giving them complete makeovers! Hahah

[@jimsteele3423]

Never be ashamed you love your Dolls

[@dolls2remember]

Thank you!!! Amen to that!!! Xoxo

[@alxsimovic]

That’s very cool of your parents being so accepting ❤

[@dolls2remember]

I know. They are the BEST! I’m beyond lucky and grateful!!!! Thank you for watching.

[@AG-hx6qn]

This is EXACTLY what I wanna do for my daughter should she still be interested in her dolls. I'm so glad. :) I hate that we feel pressured and abandon the things we love. Thanks for sharing!

[@dolls2remember]

Awwww yes!!! It’s so nice to hold on to this stuff and save it for future! You never know the joy it may bring!!! Xoxo

[@zephyr0902]

Late comment but thanks for making this video. As someone who used to play with my sister's dolls and girl toys as a kid but was embarrassed to really collect them myself, I've now got to the point where I'm starting to collect cute toys and dolls again to bring myself joy. It's validating to see other adults like yourself doing the same and finding joy in it. Congrats on reclaiming your childhood toys and looking forward to your other videos x

[@dolls2remember]

Awww thanks so much for commenting and sharing your experience. And thank you for watching! I completely relate to your story! I’m so glad that there is a community for us doll fans here online to connect! Xoxo

My mom kept all my Barbie's and their accessories. My boyfriend a 9 years got me the Beauty and the Beast Barbie, limited edition from Toys R US It even had a beast head for the prince. And I was given Romeo and Juliet Barbie both are in their original boxes. My mom also got me Little Debbie Barbies. I love EVERYTHING Barbie ❤❤

[@dolls2remember]

Yay!!! Omg Romeo and Juliet Barbie ! I didn’t know about that- I’ll have to look it up!! Sounds like you have many wonderful memories with your Barbie’s!!!:) makes me so happy for you!!! Xoxo

Awwwwwww! All these things just too cute🥰🥰

[@dolls2remember]

Thank you!!!

the little dog wigs brought back memories. so as i was growing up I made this custom doll based on this woman from a film who had this awesome bedroon that was the size of a ball room and parts of it was hidden with fancy screenings and vine carved seperaters. near her silver vanity was not one not two but 18 wigs. i paused framed and literally counted them. she had them stacked somehow on fancy heads that made it look like they were tiered but were literally on the same large table. i was so obssessed with this character that i used what materials i had from fancy sewing thread to discarded doll hair and i made a ton of wigs in a variety of hair styles all in the same color or close to it since half of them was sewing thread. Let's just say that doll got a lot of love and spoiling. but the bag of wigs reminded me of that doll i had.

[@dolls2remember]

Wow!!!! That is amazing!!! Do you remember what the movie was called?? I love the wigs!!! Sounds like such a special doll!! Xoxo

[@centurycountess4949]

@@dolls2remember I do, Kate blanchette played her it was called Elizabeth: the golden age. Her bed room was amazing in that room there was only a few scenes but there was some deleted scenes where the room was shown again she not only had her wigs out but this woman also has a closet of manniquins with all her fancy dresses. Theses this cute scene where she's getting dressed and all these women are helping her get dressed. Bet scenes ever unfortunately super short but the best in the film.

[@BratzBoyMax]

You have a lot of candidates for makeovers. Also those stains on the Mary-Kate doll's face can be removed with pimple cream. There's a bunch of tutorials on youtube on how to do it, and I swear by it. It always works

[@dolls2remember]

Yes!!! I am hoping to give as many of them makeovers as possible!!! And thank you for the tip on the pimple cream!!! I’ve heard about it and I will definitely give it a try!!! Xoxo you’re the best.

[@francescar9845]

The Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time favorite movies. I had that same exact Dorothy doll (the one on the shelf in the background) when I was younger, which I have kept and held on to all these years later. ❤

[@dolls2remember]

Awwww yay!!!! That was such a great line of wizard of Oz dolls!!!! I’m so glad I had them too. And I’m glad you still have yours!!!!

[@Dolly_junkie]

8:50 i got that little top at a doll show! I don’t know what it’s from either, but it’s so adorable!! ❤ btw it’s honestly pretty cool that you were allowed to be so creative with your dolls! giving them haircuts, making wigs, making clothes, altering their clothes, etc. My mom would have killed me 😂

[@dolls2remember]

Ha!!!! I am glad my parents allowed me to explore and experiment with my dolls!:) but yes that top is so cute! I’ll have to do a reverse image search to try n figure out it’s origins!!

[@FanGirlHours]

Would love to see a series where you restore your childhood dolls.

[@dolls2remember]

Yes!!! I am totally gonna be working on that!

[@enchanteddollies]

Omg same I just came here to comment that

[@enchanteddollies]

On that note I think yasmin would be easy to save she just needs a good bath,conditioning ,detangling and boil wash

[@dolls2remember]

Yes!!! I def wanna work on her soooon!

[@maryann9125]

Awe such great memories 🩷

[@dolls2remember]

😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@olsendollhouse]

The Jam N Glam brought back memories!! My best friend had that one and I always thought it was so cool the way you could flip her hair around LOL! Also, omg the American Idol Barbie! I have that dress!!! The wedding dress Barbie is really pretty too! I love her hair :) Did anyone you know ever have a Barbie Toilet paper saver? My grandma had one that was pink and I remember her dress was crocheted.

[@dolls2remember]

Omg I don’t think so about the toilet paper! Hahah I have to look that up cause this is the second time I’m hearing about such a thing!!! But yes the American idol dolls were so cool!! And jam n glam might be one of my favorite doll lines of all time!!!!

[@FerylMusic]

I’m reclaiming this too mon frére. My world is so happy right now

[@dolls2remember]

Yay!!!! I am so proud of you!!! Xoxox

[@FerylMusic]

@@dolls2remember thank you Ken. Or Barbie. Or Queen. I don’t know how others identify and I’m just so glad to see us all living our best lives x

[@matthewkilgore9494]

Oh I envy you so much, I didn’t have a single thing you pulled out of the box, but I did have similar memories shared with my Hannah Montana dolls, my Barbie dolls, and my cowgirl Bratz dolls. Oh how I long for my toys from when I was younger, life has been so difficult lately and I have really been seeking the comfort of my childhood. I used to make wigs too lol. And cut my Barbie hair, and alter the cloths.. my grandmother went nuts on me when I was 12 or 13 and bagged up every single doll I had regardless of my begs, and she threw them away and dared me to get another one. I don’t think I ever really forgave her for that. Thanks for posting, it’s a comfort to see a boy like me, share the love in his eyes for his childhood toys. Your parents are great. You’re so blessed

[@dolls2remember]

Awww this is so sweet!! Love all those dolls you mentioned!! Awww :( I’m so sorry that happened. That is heartbreaking, you deserve to have all the dolls you desire now! It’s so nice to hear how similar our experiences were tho how we played with and loved our dolls so much!!!!

[@matthewkilgore9494]

@@dolls2remember :) yea, I’ve since started to collect some. It’s a comfort really. A person would be amazed how much unlocking a childhood comfort, can really in a way heal a soul. The makers of these toys really don’t understand the impact loving these products can have on a person. I remember vividly, id scalp my Barbie’s and cut their head and the hair off to make a “wig” and I’d scalp face molds and fix the hair to sit on top of the heads as I pleased lol. It was wild. But you’re right. I’m definitely a new fan of yours, you’re a beautiful person. I commend you. Thanks for being so kind.

[@dolls2remember]

this is so kind of you! I apologize for the delayed response. but these toys are so important to us and are so meaningful! ha!!! the wigs are so fun to make! you are beautiful! I appreciate you!

[@maryann9125]

I can’t wait to see the makeovers you do on them!

[@dolls2remember]

Yay!!! 😍❤️❤️❤️

The bride doll at the end looks like one my nan use to have in her bathroom that would stand in the middle of the toilet roll lol xxx

Aw yay!!! Glad you still have them! 😍😍 thank you for watching !!

[@JayofallTrades]

Yay to parents who support doll collecting. Its so cool they kept them around for you so long and in still fair condition. I'm sure they have a lot of sentimental value. The wizard of oz barbie dolls are worth a lot now tho even out of box. I had those hi hi puffy ami yumi dolls too and I actually am upset that my dad didn't pack them up when moving from the garage. I would still have them if not for that.

[@dolls2remember]

Awwww!!! Yes the hi hi puffy ami yumi dolls are soooo cool!!! And yeah I am so grateful I still have most of my childhood stuff ❤️❤️ I am sorry your hi hi dolls didn’t stick around :(

[@SDjilliaRE]

It's sad that one of the things a lot of us adult collectors share is trauma over having to feel ashamed over the hobby. While I think it helps us appreciate them more now, it definitely breeds a new problem of us overcompensating. Anyway, the Tin Man is so cute! 😭😭😭 I got both releases of him not too long ago. I used to modify my poor dolls too. I still have some of the clothes and they're in similar shape lmao. Cars are such a weakness. They're super cute but way too big. 😭 The staining is pretty easy to fix with peroxide, thankfully. I reversed a Sharpie beard on a Great Shape Ken with benzoyl peroxide and a string of sunny days a few weeks ago. It'd be really cute if you rerooted the MK&A doll with darker hair! There's a lot you could do with all of them now. I feel like they'd look cute with pink-toned hair (like a melon color) or maybe one with dark dramatic makeup. Wow, I never knew they made Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi dolls. I loved them too as a kid, haha. The bent plastic pieces should respond well to boiling water if they don't wanna go back into place. They usually pop back to their original shape within a few seconds. I put them in the freezer right after just to lock them in place. Idk if that does anything, but it makes me feel better. Aaaa those Barbie wind-up accessories! We had a couple as a kid and I want them again. The wedding Barbie looks a lot like Grace Kelly. I have a Spring Zing Barbie from '99 that has the ballerina feet, so she's probably another basic Barbie from around that era.

[@dolls2remember]

Aw thanks so much for the response!!!! You are so right about the shame/trauma, but yes thankfully now we can be a little more unapologetically authentic! Haha did you have the other Oz characters or only tin man?? And yes I’ve been testing out the peroxide and it seems to work!!!! Yay! And I am excited to learn how to reroot. Hi hi puffy ami yumi were soooo cool !!! And thank you about fixing the bent plastic! I will try that!!!! You’re the best! I appreciate you so much!!! Xoxo

[@SDjilliaRE]

@@dolls2remember Thanks for sharing your collection! Just Tin Man since he's my favorite character from the book. But I'd like to get the other Kens someday. Awesome to hear that's working out. The weaker stuff takes longer, but the stronger stuff can strip paint, so it's better to go weak and take your time. Anytime! If you ever need help with restoration, I'm happy to share anything I've learned.
