The fact that you are in the medical field as crazy as it is normally and then with these times makes me so happy because you are still so positive and resilient despite everything. I know especially right now being that my brother is an OS, and mom a nurse, I can understand the need for a distraction. Much respect for you. I absolutely love your energy💞💞
Ahhh Thanks for your sweet words dear 😇💖 Yeah, the need for escape is bigger than ever right?! PHEW! This world really tries to test you to the max at times like these 😅 BUT! Thank the heavens for dolls and all that are cute, sweet and petite! 🙌🏻🎀✨ haha
Amazing as always darling! THANK YOU for providing this amazing, magical content to escape, especially in times like these when we need it the most! 💖💜💖 And an extra thanks for me for still advocating for these repros we ALL want to see!!! hihih! 🥰
So grateful for you and your channel Arjen! 💜💜 There is such a need to escape into a happy doll land right now! Thank you for creating this space for us to escape to! 🥰
Thanks Valerie!! 😇🎀✨ so sweet!!! Let’s hippidy hop hand in hand on the pastel brick road looking for some sugar sweet bright horizons! 🙋🏼♂️🍭🧁 wow! that just bursted a whole *Candy Crush* inspired jolt of inspiration for a doll line haha 😆🍭💕💖
Awww! Whenever I see you upload a video, a huge smile appears on my face and lasts all video long. I really really love and support you with all my heart dear Arjen. Take a good care of yourself ♥
I'm so glad you called the male doll 'the twilight doll' because I was like "He looks like Jacob in Twilight" But no one wouldn't say a thing about it. Congrats on your 5K+ subscribers!
Love this! Thank you for sharing and answering questions from your fans. You are right, videos like yours, are fun and inspiring, AND a lovely escape from a conflicted world! Don’t get me wrong, I have many blessings in my life, but you understand the doll/toy lover, and I feel most understood here. 🤗
I remember the first time I found this channel :D I was looking for a video to teach me how to fix my 90s Barbie hair and Arjen was one of the results, the video was a Teresa (1999) Makeover. I was blown away about the makeover.. the outfit, the hair, the amount of cuteness and femininity I was looking for in many Barbie channels. I got hooked, this man can style!!! Looking forward to seeing a doll designed from head to toe by you ❤
Handsome, hunky, Ken is a fan-favorite, for sure!!! (Swoon!!!) As it is there are few Kens’ with dark hair and plus long- hair?! Hits all the marks! ( I crack myself up- it is a doll, for crying out loud!!!) One must have a sense of humor!!!
aaaahhh 😭💖🎀🍭 Thanks Linda! Your support means the world! You showed true kindness and friendship in a grey world where you litterally dropped a rainbow of love on me! Can’t thank you enough! 😭💖
Love this video! Everyday I too am discovering new doll lines just when I think I’m gonna calm the collecting down lol. As I build my collection I’m realizing I really love when Barbie has unusual hair colors, especially pink or purple. And I love late 90s early 00s Barbie because not only do the fashions remind me of my moms youth but also I was a kid then so I remember my cousins having those Barbies.
Ahhh the feeling of nostalgia is so good right 😌💖🎀 Everything about those dolls from that era is just so nice! The feel, the materials, even the vinyl or plastic they used! But yeh, Doll making herstory is filled with undiscovered doll lines haha 😅💖 So fun !!!
I love your thought that others may view this hobby as unhealthy, yet we are the happy ones that remain childlike at heart and they have no imagination or hobbies of their own. Obviously. 🤗
Loved this Q&A special video Arjen!! You are such a warm person that people can't help but relate to you and love you!! Thank you for doing these lovely videos, you truly make my day better when you upload a doll video 😊🤗. Congratulations on reaching 5K subscribers and always be yourself!! No matter what others say or think about you. Always do what makes you happy and you will inspire other people do the same 🥰. Thank you so much for being you in this world!! 😸
I’m so happy I came across your wonderful channel, I love the fact that I have so many of your delightful videos to binge and it’s awesome to see a beautiful person like you in this world that sometimes isn’t so kind.. I just wanted to say thank you for you being you.❤
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 you deserve it. You are an amazing person, and your content is excellent! Keep up the good work, I been rerooting Barbie for a while now, it takes time and patience I'm sure you can do it. I aspire to have a doll room like yours one day and a huge 90s collection also. Well done Arien. 👏
Aahhhh Thank you so much darling! 🥳💖🥰 It’s been my absolute pleasure to bring you all this content! And I really hope my patience can persevere my rerooting journey haha 😬😬 I just have to!
@@Barbination You welcome absolute pleasure to be part of the pastel team of Barbination. I look forward to seeing more pastel glitters and lots more projects. You need a Barbie with a harder head like some of the 90's Barbies ( I rerooted my OG mermaid and her head was harder. A lot of the new barbies have soft heads that split easily. Keep up the good work. And thank you for taking the time to reply. 😊😊😊
I. Tell my kids, not Everything is easy/ are you good at it the first time. Ive made 3 wig caps and each is a little better, but I'm up for rerooting school next. All my girls need fantasy hair!
Literally the answer to the question what would it take for you to unbox your boxed dolls had me yell at the screen in unison with you: “Nothing!” Totally agree, unless I could buy them back! 😂
Although I don't buy dolls every few money I'm a doll collector. I have my own channel that nobody watches, but I keep my video' on there just in case, I'm still dolled and you got an interesting haul.
Congratulations on this milestone! Loved hearing more about you. I was deeply moved when you shared how your parents accepted your beautiful being just the way you are. Since Covid, the world of dolls has become an oasis of fun and escape and I am so thankful for your channel. I am not a pastel person but now I have been converted; many of dolls look terrific in pastels and it is great to get away from strong colours for a change. That is thanks to you and the makeovers. So grateful to be a subscriber. I am THRILLED you are getting King of the Ocean; he is a grail doll but I don’t want to keep him in the box I want to play with him! That is the collector dilemma; once out of the box the doll looses value. Arg.
haha! 😆💖 Just try to wash the hair, put some conditioner in it and leave that in for couple of hours, then finish it with a boil wash! I do it all the time in my videos 😉💖✨
My first Barbie was day to night Barbie in the 80s. We grew up really poor so she was my only Barbie and I have been looking for another 80s one in great condition ever since, she is super expensive.
I follow doll collectors on RU-vid and they are all guys. It’s fun. I’m a girl. This is my cat who just passed on Jan 13. I have always collected. I have a lot of Pullip dolls and Rainbow High. My new thing is omg dolls. I do like Barbies now. The Barbies are getting to be amazing. I like to put the Barbies on made to move. Only have a few. I also am in the medical field. I monitor patients hearts. It’s stressful. I come home to my daughter my pets my dolls my purses my newest Dune movie. No one understands my doll collection. That’s why I like you tube. That’s why I like you. I love these Barbies the prices have gone up!
haha you would think that yeh.. haha, but winters aren’t hardly as cold as they were 20 years ago .. 🙄 PLUS I can handle cold really well and I HATE heat! 🥵 haha

Well said! Love this and what you're doing. Very much relatable and appreciate it. Keep doing what you do and what you love and I'll keep watching and loving it💖😘
Do we love long Doll videos? YAAS!😍 This video was turely fun to watch 💖✨💖 I'm not even into collecting dolls, but mainly I seek for inspiration form Barbie for my art. And your videos and pastel aesthetic has been giving all the inspiration I needed. I hope you'll have 10 times double the number by the end of the year. let the pastel magic spare more. 🕊️
I just got #6. She’s still in box and I thought I loved her as is but wow she looks so much better after u fixed her hair. I am tempted to do that also 😮
I knew it. I will keep adding dolls wish list everytime I watch you hahaha. (Not mad at it). I am also looking into Disney dolls and Licca dolls 😩 I just got 2 dolls in the mail today.. I have 22 dolls now in a span of one month and a half. Congrats Arjen 🎀
Thank your explanation of why you collect 🫶❤ I feel that so much myself bc I worked in mental health care and found myself in the midst of compassion fatigue…went through some things during COVID. I turned to fixing my own Pleasant Company dolls as a hobby, then branched out to customizing. I then began getting other doll lines…and of course I love Barbie! Always have and always will! My first new Barbie was Looks #10. She was tall 😮 and gorgeous and I was hooked again! So here I am here for your content and enjoying every moment! 💗✨Thank you for all your creative effort!!
