Restoring a 2001 Irwin Sailor Venus Doll (from Sailor Moon)

I have these old Sailor Moon dolls and decided to clean Sailor Venus up! This is the process. She turned out basically as good as brand new!

Not me casually watching your videos and all of a sudden hearing my channel being mentioned. XD Love it!

[@TamasRoom]

Hey thanks for the great tutorials! :D

[@jarmolopy123]

Glad you like them. And to hear they were useful. I really enjoy watching you fix up your Sailor Moon dolls. :-)

[@alyssameenach2075]

You really managed to make her hair look perfect. For all the stress that it induced, it looks amazing.

Sounds easier to take care of a Cat Oh. The SNES Jr. I was wondering about that :P

[@bennu547]

That tiny bow is just sad. Like Venus has the most obnoxiously large red bow that’s so iconic and adorable. It’s just sad and weird that they gave her such a tiny bow when she’s known for her big red bow

[@pennyjpie]

This is so INSANE. I had some of these as a child. I had the regular Serena doll, Super Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mini Moon, and Saturn. I only ever saw them at flea markets which my parents frequented, and they'd get me a doll occasionally. I loved them so much, I always thought they were so much prettier than my barbie dolls.

I never got to play with dolls growing up and man seeing you restore this was very fun and I was a little to excited seeing this all play out. Can't wait for more videos like this if at all keep being awesome tama

Venus has been always my favorite and since i was a child i want a doll here en mexico they are sooooo expensive you are so lucky and also talented with the restauration

with the tiaraI found that a pin (for pinning fabric together) and gluing it to the tiara and then shortening it by clipping it, helps keep it in place :)

if you ever need any other references for restoring dolls I recommend "a thousand splendid dolls" there is a playlist of all their tutorials.

[@ravenfaebowie]

I should probably sort out tidying mine up. I only ever removed Sailor Moon's boots once, struggled for my life to get them back on, and vowed never to do that again 🤣🤣 Mine have all their accessories still, and it's mostly just a bit of fading/grub?🤣 from age. And I replaced the rubber bands in their hair at some point with thread (I don't remember doing that, but glad I did of Sailor Moon wouldn't have her hair gems anymore) And I could never manage to get them to stand up on those awful stands. So swapped to them out for China doll stands instead. I can't believe they're 20 odd years old 🤯🤯 I swear I just rapidly aged 🤣😭😅

[@Anna-jr8gu]

Another helpful tip to remove paint marks use some IPA but be careful because it will remove everything that's what I use when I restore my Power ranger action figures in junk

[@seraphimcoast]

[@FlameEmber]

Awwe. So much effort went into this! She definitely looks better than the original packaging. Gad...those knees snapping though... so unsettling. I wonder why they made it a feature of the dolls... 😰

[@coolthinghere6853]

for the tricky hair getting everywhere, one doll tuber uses diluted hair gell, another recommends a bit of skin moisturizer combed through with fingers, which worked for me when i restored my childhood doll c:

[@TheJiamy]

If you ever want to fill in that hip joint and get it as snug as possible, i recommend looking into how people who assemble garage kits fill gaps in their figures :)

[@anastasiab1066]

this is really awesome! you should make more doll/restoration videos in the future :)

Omg this was so cool to watch, also cuz your voice is so cute and relaxing 🥺 just like your accent!

[@SenoritaMarian]

There are not variants of Venus' bow color (i think), The color on the bow's faded over time i believe as ive seen a listing of Super sailor moon have non-faded skirt that matched the blue sailor collar thingy (i forgot what they are called)

[@icky_sticky_mars]

good job and really great video

[@TheCamdog9]

I loved my Sailor Moon dolls, I still have them. They are in pretty good condition, minus some stuff like one of Dark Lady's earrings being broken off, one of Pluto's legs won't bend anymore, and the gold beads on Princess Serenity are very loose. Also I had to replace a lot of the rubber bands that held hair accessories as the rubber ends broke with age but those were easy fixes. I was surprised to see your Venus doll was able to raise her arms to the level of her shoulders. She was the only doll I had that could only move her arms back and forth, so maybe my Venus had different arms put in during assembly? Also kudos for having a Sailor Saturn doll as that was the only doll I never had since I don't think they sold her in the US. I could go to EBay for her but maybe another time.

[@TamasRoom]

It's funny but I didn't realize until you mentioned it that my Sailor Moon doll can only raise her arms up and not put them out to the side. She's the only one of my Irwin's that can't.

[@TheCamdog9]

@@TamasRoom Maybe it's a production error because my Sailor Moon doll can raise her arms to the side while Venus can't and for you it's the opposite. I did look at the shoulders on both dolls and you can tell the difference. Maybe we just have unique dolls.

Sun light causes discoloration or yellowing on plastics

[@marksmithwas12]

Really enjoyed the video! I'm glad it turned out great, even though the tiara broke. But it's ok, I wont tell anyone lol

[@susieq721]

Please dont use acne cream to remove stubborn spots on vinyl! It might look awesome right after its done but theres been lots of reports of the plastic getting discolored with time. Retrobrighting is a better way to deal with yellowing.

[@KingOfGaymes]

Not everyone can retrobrite tho 🥲 Plus what do you do if the issue isn’t yellowing..? Like sharpie ink or something?

[@niimai18]

I removed the tiara and earrings from my doll once in hot water, the plastic softens and thus prevents them from breaking

[@sainttan]

I question how come Magical Girl dolls (Sailor Moon and Pretty Cure) looks so much that Licca doll (the older ones) series, can't they mimic it in dolls head like they can in there action figures. And most of the time the eyes looks off, and I know they can make it accurate as much as Nendoroid. And I know the clothes aren't detailed, because it's catered to young girls and boys, and mostly for play.

[@morgancoleman1457]

oh my god, my venus' legs had the exact same thing happen!! i wonder if they were just made poorly

Nice job~ Most of the common problem for dolls is tangled long hair. But it would be nice to show how to restore the clothing too.

[@CrimsonAkato]

I remember my sister won a random barbie doll that seems to have been used before and had her hair into a big poofy ball standing up and tall .. she tried to fix it by doing exactly everything she was not supposed to do .. it got worse . then she shaved the whole hair off just recently we found the doll again with 98% of its hair gone and we'll it went to the trash xD .

[@originalkingdomhearts]

I'm just curious, if you're going to buy the same doll for parts, why bother to fix the old one? Not asking in a negative way I'm legit curious, it seems like less of a hassle to just keep the newer doll you just brought.

[@TamasRoom]

Because I am sentimental about the old one

[@originalkingdomhearts]

@@TamasRoom I get it! I have a few things like that too. I have one of the original Sailor moon dolls and I might try to fix her but I'm honestly scared of ruining it. It looks like a lot of work.

Hi 👋 1st comment from Philippines 🇵🇭 I think Synatra hair is good for rerooting your sailor moon dolls since Synatra hair or saran hair looks like human hair 😊

[@theodore8070]

Great work! How the heck the original messed up her hairstyle like that? How a Venus without her iconic red bow is being sold officially?

The original I think is just old and she probably lost the bow

Can these dolls get graded?

Idk, but I imagine that would be really hard unless they were still in original packaging and never opened. There's no way I could mail a loose doll to a grader and have it arrive in the shape I sent it in
