Restoring 2001 Irwin Sailor Uranus and Neptune Dolls (From Sailor Moon!)

I have these old Sailor Moon dolls and decided to clean the cutest couple, Sailor Neptune and Uranus up! There were many mistakes made along the way, but it is a learning process!

I like how you treat Neptune like you would a rescue animal.

[@shunx7765]

Happy background music as Tama proceeds to submerge and hold a doll's entire head underwater 30 seconds in. Already know this is going to be a great video.

[@Gugunet26]

When the world needed her most... She returned

[@val_923]

there's something sooo pretty about neptune's face paint. her expression is so delicate and beautiful. happy pride!

[@icky_sticky_mars]

so happy this series is back and showcasing our favorite "cousins" happy pride!

[@WA_Stokins]

This series will forever and always be chicken soup for my girlie soul.

[@uwuuuuuuuuu]

I was begging you to just braid neptunes hair to get the waves lol 😭😭 your restoration work is still amazing! love these videos!!

[@KatMorningstar3]

Always loved these videos. Neat you got this out the same day as Usagi's birthday and the release of the final part of Sailor Moon Cosmos!

[@enitenit2791]

BABE WAKE UP TAMA'S ROOM DOLL RESTORATION VIDEOS ARE BACK edit:(ok but seriously I really admire you keeping your mistakes in your videos. I ended up washing a miraculous ladybug doll's hair due to the huge amount of glue in her hair and kept the part for her pigtails due to watching your sailor moon restoration video. I wasn't sure if there would be batching so I decided not to risk it lol)

[@endeavorxi]

Getting a result after the long discovery process is so satisfying to watch

[@skortyspice]

that Michiru doll is so pretty. I'm so inspired by how you take care of these beautiful sailor moon dolls. I have a decent amount of sailor moon toys but the dolls never made it to the country I'm in but I used to see them in japanese magazines i borrowed off my neighbour.

[@thecraftykingdomking7029]

Thank you Tama! We love these restoration videos

[@Solaris_Kou]

Thanks tama for being able to post this

[@astoldbyneon43]

I really apperacte you showing your mistakes in such a video. It really goes to show just how much effort goes into doll resurrecting and that it's not always gonna be smooth sailing. I think your dolls came out looking really pretty by the end of it all💕

[@dollcringe]

These videos just keep getting better even if there are some mistakes here and there, keep the great work up!

[@pagodrink]

Happy Pride month! 🏳‍🌈

[@sheismymom]

They're the best cousins in the world.

[@Michael-in6rz]

AHH I’ve missed this series!!

[@astardustparade]

I’m glad you’re back! I can’t wait for the next video. ❤️

[@Vembie]

We sure do love seeing our favorite -lovers- cousins!

[@Sweet_Matcha]

Thanks for the video! Despite the mistakes and mold scare I really enjoyed watching your doll restoration! Excited to see the next one 💖

[@BrightDecision]

Missed your uploads! They're always so fun. Hope you're doing well!

[@QuietM4n]

I just wanted to come back here and tell you tell you that because I've watched these videos I was able to fix my daughter’s Barbie’s hair after we brought it to the beach. So thank you

[@Mia3301]

omg i was just rewatching Chibi Moon video yesterday and sadly sighing that there hasnt been a new one recently

[@cauavasconcellosgaldino9541]

I'm so glad you're back ❤❤😊😊

[@applesmack8230]

so happy to see you post on this account again! i adore these videos, hope you are doing well 🩵

[@kurtwagner350]

Neptune’s hair color is so pretty

[@morphogenetic_]

It's interesting keeping your mistakes in the video, as you said it's a relief to know other ppl make mistakes in their crafts too! I wouldn't have thought to use a colour-catcher paper, in fact I wouldn't have thought the colours could bleed from such a gentle wash :0

[@YukeWeiss]

I love seeing these video. Cousins gotta stick together!

[@Danny64]

so glad to be back in tama's room 😄

[@LunaMikkelsenBJD]

I know a lot about customising BJDs but I do not know a lot about customising other dolls, so your videos are always like tutorials for me. I learn so much from them. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@iLuvvHelloKittyy]

YAY YOUR BACK ALSO HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!!!

[@hexmaniacmarie5654]

I am so glad you uploaded this video! I'm glad you didn't let the mistakes keep you from uploading them, I think that makes them all the more charming and fun! And still just as if not more informative!

[@Wckdlttlsnnrs28]

missed these videos! love them.

[@blaineishere3851]

very exciting to see the return of this series!

[@bcsdollplace]

Great video. I’m planning a doll restoration project and I find your videos very helpful.

[@PetersToys]

So happy to see a new vidéo !

[@gabriellalee6097]

Yessss! I’m so happy you posted again!

[@shyniestar]

the perfect vid to relax with at midnight after a long day. i admire how much dedication you have toward your hobbies. thanks for sharing! edit: i’ma go back and rewatch older weirdly satisfying doll restoration vids of yours now since it’s been a while :)

[@Tiggywinkle007]

Can't wait for the Mars, Mercury and Saturn restorations.

[@h0lz_xX]

OMG YOUR BACK!!!!

[@briimochi]

I love these reatoration videos, they're unique and i haven't seen much other people do them like you do, happy pride!!❤❤❤

[@NekoChev]

I love watching your videos, it does help with my own doll's hair.

[@nostalgialovesmypaycheque9382]

Rocking that SMEG kettle like it doesn’t cost one human kidney

[@TamasRoom]

It was a wedding gift and I love it very much

[@yes0matsuo]

So happy to see a new restoration video ❤

[@bigimaginations9973]

Totally wasn't expecting a new video, but so gladi stayed subscribed just in case 😊

[@nosemilkbaddie]

i love these videos so much, i genuinely hope you never run out of dolls to restore. they make me want to collect them even though i can't afford my rent and have $10 to my name!!!

[@SebastiansLeftGlove0731]

I'm glad I didn't mess with my Neptune's hair back when i wanted to. I would've been devastated to lose what she already had 😢

[@Lucy-qi7nk]

My child really loves your videos and is now into Sailor Moon dolls. Please can you restore Sailor Saturn next? Maybe you could spray the stand white to remove this discolouration. Keep up the good work! From Lucy & Toby

[@beckbunny9306]

Hi! it has been awhile i was really excited that you posted today i really love seeing your doll restorations i think they are really interesting + can be helpful with learning how to style my own :)

[@magicfrae]

I scored sailor moon, chibi usa, jupiter, mars, and venus for 16 dollars at the thift last year! now my next adhd craft will be making these dolls look better XD

[@magicfrae]

I forgot mercury but I got her too 😁

[@Nightman221k]

Gosh I wish that these could get some reroofed hair. Seeing how thin they did on the heads of these two. I love the sandy blonde hair of Sailor Uranus.

[@huuuuuuuuman]

FUCK YES!!!! Tama is washing doll hair again.

[@elenav.5470]

Omg ur back!! Yay i love this channel it's such a cozy nook

[@Dragondude2525]

10:22 I love “a bug of boiled water”

[@Jonnicom]

Facts. Started modding GameBoy's just over a year ago. My first wasn't super great. Now I'd consider myself a pro.

[@hnskinner]

Love these, ever thought of re-rooting some of these girls hair? I feel like these two would benefit the most from a custom hairstyle.

[@mantahurrah7400]

Eh; unless you’re creating new hair plugs to thicken their hair, it would be a lot of work to change very little. Plus, I believe that Tama already has a Sailor Moon with ruined hair to practice re-rooting on.

[@darkessraven]

She plans on the doll from first video she made as her hair was completely destroyed. It’s currently uses a completely new head.

[@dolljunk]

I'm glad Uranus turned out well! It's just the simplest way of calming down short hair for me hahaha. For Neptune, I think the way you approached the curls was simply the wrong effect. If you do go back and redo Neptune to look like her anime self, I'd suggest braiding the hair in several sections, while curling up the ends in curlers, then boiling that for an easier time. Btw I think the wet towel and iron method came from the youtube channel @everythingdolls haha.

[@TamasRoom]

Maybe I'll give Neptune another go in a future video! Thank you for the tip! And you are CORRECT that was the source, I added it to the video description.

[@djavan]

I think using drinking straws as curlers would work better for Neptunes hair. You have to leave them over night tho

[@bronwynhicks159]

I adore these videos! These dolls look gorgeous, so glad the gals are all together again! Happy pride ❤

[@pikachumaster542]

Yay, I Love Your Sailor Moon Restoration Videos 😄👍

[@KingOfGaymes]

YESSS A NEW ONE OF THESE YAY

[@thedollbusiness]

love your sailor moon videos!

[@erika_no.draw_much]

I love her videos ❤

[@azaleawinchester]

So pretty ❤

[@MayaCreations95]

Girl , I love restyling sailor moon dolls, I wish I could help you 😭

[@CapnCrimson]

I love these restoration videos! I don't know anything about doll restoration, but for the Neptune wave, what about using the curlers in an alternating fashion? Like instead of wrapping the hair around the curler fully, then just put them alternating above and below the hair, one after another all the way to the ends. I don't know if it'd work, it's just a thought.

[@daringagged]

You haven't yet to try side braids for Neptune's hair?

[@melr.m.8984]

omg YES i have been excited for this video for years 😭

[@FurbyFizz]

hey, quick heads up, fabric softener causes doll hair to become brittle quickly as it ages, and it doesn't actually soften doll hair, it's just the residue that makes it feel soft. if you ever resell your dolls with fabric softener used you should definitely disclose that fact on the listing.

[@TamasRoom]

Can you explain to me how that works? I have used fabric softener in doll hair for 10 years and it has not made any of my dolls hair more brittle in that time.

[@FurbyFizz]

@TamasRoom it's not exactly 10 yrs it takes, more so 20 or beyond. but nylon is a long lasting doll hair so it shouldn't be decaying that quickly (ive seen this discussion about g1 mlps specifically)

[@FurbyFizz]

@TamasRoom some doll buyers won't purchase dolls with fabric softener used because of the decaying effect too.

[@TamasRoom]

@@FurbyFizz So this reads as superstition and pseudoscience to me. If it's over a span of 20 years, how can you tell that fabric softener is the one thing put into the hair in 2 decades causing the issue? And then do you know what hair conditioner does in 2 decades to doll hair? It turns into gunky lumps. I think after 20 years, any doll will have issues with hair integrity. People can believe what they want, but I don't think fabric softener is inherently worse for the longevity of the hair than any other compound. All will have negative impacts in that span of time.

[@WA_Stokins]

Yesssss!!! So happy to see this video!! I love this series.

[@MissLouva]

tama new video !!!!

[@kjhgfdfghjkdrtyuiwewe]

Have you tried making a UV chamber for a hydrogen peroxide treatment? It's a really powerful way to get out pen marks, yellowing, etc. I use it for the 80 toys I restore.

[@super_toad_fan1707]

Love it

[@johnnypollack3243]

Keep up the great work and videos Tama

[@goldentoad9137]

Love the vid

[@serenasilvercrest3154]

So happy your back!! Happy Birthday to Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon!! Question how hard is it to take off and put Neptune head back on? I was thinking of taking off Princess Serena's head to put it on a new ILY doll.

[@TamasRoom]

Very easy, theres no additional pieces to the joint. I don't know how the head would work on another body though

[@serenasilvercrest3154]

@@TamasRoom Thank you so much for the reply!! Oh there this no neck joint ok that's good to know, am afraid of breaking the neck joints. Ya am also afraid if the head can't work on another dolls body. I wouldn't want to go though all that for it not to work out.

[@Keishayoucantfightperiod.]

@@TamasRoom yeah like what you said, but also, if you do remove these dolls, heads way too much the vinyl will start to stretch out that’s what happened to my first sailor Venus

[@Keishayoucantfightperiod.]

@@serenasilvercrest3154 yeah but if you remove the heads a little too much, the vinyl will either rip or stretch out I learned that from the hard way 😢

[@serenasilvercrest3154]

@@Keishayoucantfightperiod. Oh am sorry to hear that happened to you :( Ya that's what am afraid of that's why I still havn't done it yet.

Uranus in the water 😂

[@Favzaed]

Hi, I'm sorry if this seems rude but as a doll restorer myself, can you try to pour boiling water on the doll while holding its legs while putting it in a sitting position over a bowl to then leave it in said bowl to boil wash the dolls hair? Sorry it just hurt that you wrapped uranus head with saran wrap.

[@ReeseyPuffy]

I watched this sailor moon video while wearing a sailor moon sweater and snuggled up under a sailor moon blanket. Would you guess that I like sailor moon?

[@dreamingdoll]

me after watching athousandsplendiddolls

[@jillianreynolds2150]

I use pipe cleaners for curling doll. I don't put the doll in hot water because like your video you lose it. Is it bad to use pipe cleaners to you?

[@dirtypoptoxic]

I kinda think their hair looked better before

[@PetersToys]

If you want to keep curls or volume on nylon hair just wash them with hot (not boiled) water 😊

[@bluekinopio9390]

I love these videos

[@SailorMoonFan92]

You filmed this over a year ago, as they appear in your Jupiter and Pluto videos lol Though you don't really seem to restore anything, you just wash their hair, and often, as seen here, mess it up in the process causing the hair to become flat and lifeless when the hair had volume and bounce before you 'restored' it.

[@TamasRoom]

Wow I'm sorry I bothered you by posting anything :) I hope your day recovers

[@skikes3033]

Tama really wants you to see her pristine smeg kettle

[@TamasRoom]

It was a wedding gift, I was very excited about it

[@Circusislifeclown]

What music Is used in the beginning? I love it

[@TamasRoom]

It's the Outer Senshi Battle theme from the classic Sailor Moon anime

[@SecretSenshiSailorMoon]

hiii may I ask you something? 🌙 where did you buy the clear boxes that contain your boxed dolls? 🌙
