[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Thank you my QUEEN!!!💜💜💜

[@melissabazile]

More Mitzi videos pleaseeeee!!! 🙏 Because of you, I’m hooked!!! I love her!

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Aww thank you. She’s made some features here and there. I’d like to do a whole sewing video for her and Barbie

[@melissabazile]

@ omg yes please! 🙏

[@nathankirk3189]

Definitely not the only one 😂 I love having KZbin on in the background, even while folding and putting away laundry! Or just to relax and unwind form the day with some of my favorite content creators!

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Same!! I do this all the time! We have some of the best creators!

[@DylanRomanov]

I love Barbie Clones! she’s really pretty.She’s no Barbra Millicent Roberts ,but a cute girl lol

[@eeveemikat]

I actually prefer mitzi's face to Barbie she looks a little bit more elegant and softer could totally see her rebodied

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

I wonder how she would look on a misty body! I bet she would look nice

[@melissabazile]

I prefer Mitzi over Barbie! 😍

[@siwarvidsson9705]

Love the doll I collect Mitzi you shall newer let her sit many dolls get broken do so❤😊

[@alliekingsley7919]

Oh, she's a lovely girl, and you did a fantastic job restoring her. She's actually got a sweeter face than Barbie, IMO, but Barbie has that sort of "mean girl" glam that's always popular.

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Haha yes! Barbie gives me sassy. Mitzi is more subtle glamour.

[@Stellar_Drift]

If people are intimidated by Barbie, then they clearly haven't seen the Japanese vinyl bjd doll market, you can swap out the chest pieces if you want your doll to have a bigger chest, people have nipples painted on, it's very interesting what customisations people get 😅

[@sakuragyoza]

I just adore your videos! I love to do something meticulous while you restore so we're both working on something. Love the history at the end! 💖

[@SleepyJoe1973]

Great video, very informative!! Lots of history I didn't know. Also yes, a youtube video in the background is a must for any work project 🙏💯

[@whatanitemare]

Canada has a lot less people than the US and this was even more so in 60's. Because of that, a lot of what we bought was ordered through a catalogue... especially in the mid west where there were a lot more small towns. I remember Mitzi being in A LOT of those catalogues. I suspect this is why we have more of them here in Canada. Regarding Barbie's look?... well she was based on Bild Lilly, who was a newspaper comic strip for men before she became a doll gag gift. Bild Lilly WAS a whore so no surprise that some people thought Barbie had that look.

[@viviennecreamsicle1061]

I love that you’re getting a little in your ideal era.. they really are underrated and definitely the Mga of the 60s/70s.. I also love the lore of Tammy and her “daughters” Sindy and Susi who are still alive and kicking. I would also love to know your thoughts on Susi from Estrela

[@tinadrew6104]

Love watching your videos! Your voice is so soothing too!

[@patrickdolan2137]

Great work restoring the Misty doll! I personally think she's beautiful and even prettier than the contemporary Barbie!!! Plus she's just a little bigger. Too bad she didn't hang around longer!? But anyway good find GIRL!!🎉🎉🎉😊

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@PineappleOwns]

I love that you include so much history on these dolls. Loving the videos ♡♡

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@pamollak]

I was going to say she looks more like bild Lily doll, but i see some people already pointed that out. For a clone doll she's really pretty, and you did a fantastic job restoring her. 😊👍

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Aww thank you so much!!:)

[@jennah6673]

Mitzi's hair and makeup are perfect! She's very pretty. Looking at her swimsuit bottoms, it appears that the sides are creased, as if a seam allowance was folded to the inside to make a better fit, especially in the back.

[@judyp.6753]

She’s gorgeous but even online you can tell not the same quality of Barbie. You did a wonderful job on her face and hair! 💖

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@cassandralyris4918]

I'd 3D print a new body to go with her lovely head. Not authentic, sure, but it worked great for my Tammy and Pepper heads. That weird, purple, faux flocked velvet looks like off cuts from the Velvet doll dress. Hhhmmmnnn....

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

That's a great idea!

[@lexdoll1082]

I love your videos! Very inspiring! Wonderful dolls! I'm a collector myself. My Barbie collection is from the 80s and early 90s.

[@blancasanchez9397]

Beautiful! ❤

[@lancekirbyacosta8655]

a new video??? i'm sat, mother. this should be a banger vid.

[@naiaradealmeidamarco]

I love ❤❤❤

[@lrcs79]

Your videos are the best, always awesome content, thanks for sharing 💕

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Thank you so much! ☺️ 💜💜💜

[@annecourchesne205]

Love your videos 📹 they are very informative 👍 ❤

[@vincenowell9172]

I only own one Misty (brunette with straight bangs), but I adore her. You did a wonderful job restoring your Mitzi. 😊

[@vickyszn]

your videos have definitely Upped my restoration journey. recently just about finished a lot of about 60 dolls 😅 also your cutscenes are "chefs kiss" 👩‍🍳 😂😭

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

That is awesome! I love hearing that!!

[@davidmchugh2959]

Love your videos! My Mum never liked Barbie because she had a Sindy when she was little, so she would only buy me Sindy but in the 90s Sindy looked more like Barbie so it didn’t make any sense… it did eventually get a Beach Blast Barbie though

[@bambamichael3513]

I have the same doll mine with straight bangs I love her even though she's a Barbie clone doll she's beautiful and I love her vintage looks

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

I agree!!!:)

[@chyname]

I love Mitzi , beautiful face.

[@pizzazzartwork889]

Love ur vids. ❤❤❤❤

[@Timlesstoybox]

What an interesting doll! A family friend showed me her maybe number 3 Barbie and now watching this, possibly a Mitzi! She was a Tom boy and never played with them so they were in perfect condition, I remember that bathing suit so I think it was a Mitzi! Thank you for making this, also I think you said miss. Revlon’s hair was the same type, so maybe I will try redoing my miss. Revlon dolls hair. It’s fun to see some older types of dolls! Thanks for making this!

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

I’ve got so many revlons to work on. She’s coming soon lol 😂

[@Timlesstoybox]

@@disneybarbiegirl615 oh fun!!

[@dianathorpe2280]

I actually have my original #4 Barbie and my Tammy too. I have never seen a Mitzi. She is very pretty! But yeah her clothes just don't compare. I will keep my eye out for a Mitzi. I love to sew, so sewing for her could be a lot of fun! Thx so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Just wondering, do Mitzi and Tammy have similar hair? My Tammy's hair is pretty wild. I'm thinking of giving her a wash and set with the pipe cleaners. Would that work??

[@PineappleOwns]

I don't know much about them, but have you heard of the Leggy dolls? They were from the 70s and pretty cute looking!

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

I have!! They’re pretty cute. I remember when I was a child leggy dolls came back. And they didn’t do well either. But I remember those on the shelves

[@dorisbrinkerhoff8124]

Zotty bear i see him . show him next . he is so cute.

[@ice-creamforbreakfast]

She's serving with the purple and that winged eyeliner! The Fashionistas-quality swimsuit is a bit of a disappointment though 😂

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

That swimsuit is gross lol 😂 she however is pretty!

[@sarahhopper8891]

Mitzi seems like she’s having a bad day!!

[@dorisbrinkerhoff8124]

oh---yes kids and Husband i got it

[@vincentpare3922]

I thought Barbie’s hair was Saran. Do you know what was the fiber used at first for Barbie and approximately when it became Saran fiber ?

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

It came into play first in in the #5 dolls, but only in the bangs. The first dolls were made with a synthetic hair fiber close to mohair. Which to be honest isn’t great for hair play purposes. But ponytail Barbie’s were never meant to be hair play dolls. In a script in one of the first Barbie magazines, children asked why they couldn’t get their Barbie’s hair to look right after they took her hair down, and Mattel said something like “because you aren’t supposed to take Barbie’s hair down from the ponytail”. The bubblecuts are the first to have a full head of saran. And it was carried on to the AG dolls and Twist n Turns

[@clivechiam]

I think that weird ahh choice of swimsuit was a production cost thing? The construction (I use that word loosely) looks so juvenile and like it could be made in minutes.

[@dorisbrinkerhoff8124]

i have a Mitzi but she is headless

[@Vanessa-nh5es]

🤗♥️🎈🧜🏻‍♀️

[@TheBadArtistquestionmark]

:o

[@ratos62]

Mitzi did what barbie did to bild lilli

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

That’s right!!!

[@PieceMeals]

Mitzi's clothes looked homemade and frumpy compared to Barbie's. The doll itself is pretty cool, but not as cool as Polly Valentine.

[@estelacayo]

You slay every video 💋🔪

[@disneybarbiegirl615]

Well thank you!:)
