It surprises me how well and clear you remember all your childhood toys and moments related....You are too young but one looses memories so easily unintentionaly...Good for you!!!!
Oh my gosh I screamed at the Penelope plushie! I got her for my fifth birthday and loved her so much. She definitely talked as well, you pressed her hand and she'd say phrases from the film. Ah man, what a throwback! 💞
Was just binging your thrift and restoration videos, awesome to see you pop up in my notifications as I was!! Super excited to watch and see what you find!
@@xCanadensis Aw, don't apologize for that! Any video is lovely to have, whether it's on time or not. It's amazing that you manage a daily upload schedule anyway! Thanks for always sharing your videos even when it's hard to find the motivation. I love seeing your excitement and genuine enjoyment of dolls, it's contagious and makes me smile. I hope you feel better soon!!
I finally opened my Ultimate Na Na Na Surprise Bunny doll the other day and I’ve now realized after looking at your doll, mine didn’t come with printed on black lace tights and I bought mine from Target in 2020! Congratulations on finding her (and all your other finds!!)
Mine doesn't have her fishnets either and I ordered her off Amazon a few months ago. It's really odd because I couldn't find info about it and I honestly like her so much better with the tights, so it kinda sucks. I wonder if it's some kind of factory error.
@@michelleveee It’s really weird that several are like that when the box art shows the tights. I like her better with them, too. Guess I shouldn’t have waited two years before I opened her!
I originally had the version without the tights and exchanged her for one with the tights, kind of want both versions lol I heard a rumor the "Karen Mom's" made a stink about the fish nets
I’ve just started buying some Bratzillaz, so I’d love to see how you restore their hair. Does it need any specific types of care that are different than other dolls? I’m not familiar enough yet with telling different kinds of hair apart, so I’m not quite sure how to tell which kind it is or which types should or shouldn’t be boil washed.
I’m hoping to get JrH Jade with the sale but she’s still not showing up in Buffalo 😭 hopefully in Erie this weekend? The sale ends soon so I’m a lil nervous
@@xCanadensis I used the coupon to JH Jade 💚🖤 well I used it 3 times tbh 😂 my account, hubbys and my moms so I also omg Queens Prism & Barbie bunny Cutie Reveal. Definitely if something is $25-$30 the 20% off definitely made me happier with the price I hope you get Jade by Saturday 3/12 🤞🤗
I have that Equestria Girls Rarity doll, and she actually has a skirt underneath her dress piece, which is the only main piece that you are missing from her.
At one of the savers near me they started pricing bratz, my scenes, rh, omg - basically anything not barbie - at $10.99 🤯🤬😭! Just randomly saw a kid to kid here in Minnesota about 30 minutes away from me when i was out in a different suburb
10:20 that’s a Aaron Carter doll, there was a Kim possible doll. Ugh I wish I lived there. Lol I have that Aaron doll in the box but would love one opened for display. U have the best thrift stores. All mine have almost no toys and it’s always bottom of the barrel destroyed garbage.
Thrifting videos are my favourites. These thrift stores are amazing. And so many omgs at once lol !! I have found quite a few and the last 3 ones had clothes. The last one I found was complete except for the jewellery and bag. It was a shock! I am crazy about omgs and I buy them even if I already have them. I wish so badly they would make fashion packs for them. I have found this Poopsie rainbow hair doll but without socks and shoes unfortunately. I Iove her, she's gorgeous. Bratzillaz's hair is terrible quality in general...sigh... it will be a hard task to restore it.
At 10:50 the brown shirt with argyle print is actually from the Perfectly pink Teresa barbie doll 😃 I know because my Nana gave me her years ago and I loved her pink overalls outfit, she’s one of my only Barbies who’s clothes I didn’t change lol. Congrats on all the cool finds
Hey Brooke! Great haul! btw $:26 goes to the transforming Barbie Fairy Secret doll, so you were right! and the purple haired girl in 5:36 is the Starlight Adventure girl (she's not Barbie but i don't remember her name!) and the blue dress girl in 9:32 is Erika from Rock N Royals! Just figured I'd let you know! :)
found an unopened Skylar doll for just over half price (including shipping) on an online second hand store! probably gonna buy her as soon as I get paid
The Poopsie Rainbow High Dolls are at TJ Maxx and stores like that. She has that super cute rainbow purse that they made a large slime kit of. I love them.
I love the 11 1/2 Swag lol dolls I turn her in to Dolly Partons. The face resembles Dolly Parton to a tee even the Beauty Mark under the chin. I made six so far in different hair clothes. But for some reason Those dolls are getting hard to find? Good luck on your doll collection..
Omg Gumby plush I remember that I had a plastic figure as a kid it might even have been my older brother or sisters since I got a lot of their hand me down toys from the 70s & 80s 💚💚💚 that’s so cool you found Alex Heart Na Na Na teen she’s 1 of my favs - I love that lalaloopsy clothes from the large size dolls fit them 🎉🎉🎉😉😉😉
Great finds! 💜 Here Lol omg dolls are very expensive and are almost never found in second-hand shops, indeed let's say that the ones I found I paid too much...😥
@@xCanadensis oh same, I have three and I'm terrified of washing them ;; I saw one youtuber wash one fully but he never explained how to dry them or if dried at all!
www.toyboxphilosopher.com/2021/10/sunday-surprise-na-na-na-surprise-by.html?m=1 This blog makes me feel like it’s pretty safe to wash them honestly. She takes off the fabric and shows the under layer. It’s just plastic! So as long as they’re dried THOROUGHLY i think it’s safe! I’ll try it someday but I’m so… so… nervous…
Oh I watched darling dollhouse on here clean a thrifted Na Na Na teen doll I would be nervous too she’s really nice & approachable too if you have any questions. 🤞🤗
I hope you can find her! I love her so much and I love that I got her first but I lost all of her stuff and took her hair out so I’m so grateful to have a basically brand new one to keep perfect forever :)
I had the Serafina plush robot thing from Princess and the Pauper! I’m sure I still have her somewhere, but I remember absolutely LOVING her. That was one of my favorite movies (I have two DVDs of Princess and the Pauper as well as Swan Lake now because I kept wearing the DVDs out 🤣)
To bad you didn't find Betty spaghetti. I always wanted her as a kid. 90s to early 2000's. Idk when she was released I loved gumbi as a kid, along with polly pocket original sets. Before they became dressed up version fun. But tiny world fun
i went to the thrift store 2days ago with my friend and there was a big box of monster high and ever after high dolls and I got the wonderland Lizzy heart and she came with everything and she was only $5s!
OH MY GOD! I had that same barbie as a kid 😭 and i remember fashion fever i was obsessed god damn i MISS fashion fever barbies 😭😭😭 WHY CANT WE HAVE OLD BARBIE BACK 💀 Im over these cheap fabrics and potatoe sack dresses and RUFFLES 💀😭
I really really wish my local thrift stores were this awesome! There is always a low variety and usually always nude dolls. … also, What time do you normally post because I saw this pop up at around midnight my time and it’s getting a lot of engagement. I post at around 2pm and can barely get any. I definitely need tips on posting! lol love your videos! 🥰 sending love from Texas!
Where in TX because I might know some good suggestions haha. Except Houston. Truly an enigma as to where the hell all of the dolls are. Grew up there for my first 18 years and never found anything particularly noteworthy despite my best efforts. I post daily around 11pm-2am but the only reason that works for engagement is because it’s fairly consistent and I’ve been going this way for about a year. It boosts in the morning generally when people wake up. I think afternoon is the worst because people forget about it by the time they’re home from work or school but that’s just a personal theory.
@@ThisGuyAriq damn- I’ve never been down there. San Antonio has the best thrift stores I’ve ever been to! I do imagine that the flea markets must be GLORIOUS down by you. And if you can get across the border the flea markets within Mexican are absolutely incredible for dolls
I can’t do thrift store doll hunts at the moment and these videos are just soooo good for scratching that itch. I love having them on as I casually play Stardew and seeing you look through everything and it’s so amazing whenever you find something you’ve been looking for idk it just makes me happy!! Also when you find a doll I’m looking for personally is really exciting too? I adore bratzillaz and seeing you find that meygana was just a rush of excitement kind of like hey that a thing I wanna find too!! Cool!! Also question! I’m new to dolls and don’t fully understand hair types and everything and over recently started collecting bratzillaz, and it’s really hard to find information about what kind of hair they have?? You mentioned meygana has polypropylene, do you know if all of them do or if it’s just specific ones? Or any tips on how to tell hair types apart? I got a first wave cloetta spelletta recently and her hair is a bit ratty and I wanna wash it but I don’t know the kind of fiber it is and I don’t wanna accidentally ruin it so I would be really appreciative if you happened to have any advice 💛🧡💛
Basically all have either LOW grade nylon or Polypropylene. The hair words are just different grades of plastic (like you can find nylon rope for example) and each has special considerations. Nylon and Poly both can melt so you have to be careful. Nylon can boil out and be perfect again but poly is a BEAST. I usually have to straighten repeatedly to get a halfway decent result. I’m hoping to really invest some time into a video for this poor Meygana because I know most Bratzillaz suffered this fate :( SOME Bratzillaz have Saran but I’m not 100% sure who. Saran is suuuper nice. Melts more easily I believe but boil washing is going to be safe on Bratzillaz no matter what. You’ll know Saran when you feel it because it’s incredibly different! I desperately wish there was a database for dolls where people can say what hair type (and variants of that) each dolls has. If I knew anything about web design I’d do it myself but, alas, I do not. Also thank you so much 🙏 I love these styles of videos and back when I started doing these many years ago they were VERY rarely uploaded on RU-vid so I’m glad I can fill the niche! Another channel I HIGHLY recommend for thrifting content is BeneDolls!
@@xCanadensis thank you so much! I think one of the ones I have must have Saran since it’s way softer than the cloetta’s. And I’ll definitely have to check out benedolls thanks for the reccomendation 🧡
You got lucky!! The Saran Bratzillaz are incredibly hard to find because people prefer them and seek them out specifically- and MGA made way less of them I believe. Her channel is thrifting HEAVEN! And so underrated
@@xCanadensis That makes sense! Ik she’s from the last line they did, Angelica sound?? She was the second bratzillaz I got and when I decided to start researching them because I loved them so much. I felt so lucky when I saw the second hand market prices because even though they’re missing some accessories I got both of those two for maybe?? $10 each? Which is really good for nz. Though I did just spend over 100 in an auction for Carolina past but… there’s no but. I regret nothing. And her channel looks like so much fun and she seems so nice!! I’ve already subscribed, I can’t wait to binge while I work lol 💛
Check out the RU-vid channel A Thousand Splendid Dolls. She just posted a very detailed video about the different kinds of doll hair. Saran, nylon, and kanekalon are the most common types.
for the barbie swan lake figurines you were talking about there was a playset that was i believe a tree and there were figurines. there was a swan, fox, skunk, and a mouse and maybe a few others
Hehe she knows it >:) There’s got to be SOMEWHERE in your area that the dolls are going :o have you looked at Facebook Marketplace or possibly garage sales/flea markets?
@@xCanadensis I’ve been meaning to get a Facebook to look on marketplace! As for flea markets, I really don’t know because I’m in a new city at the moment for college, I’ll have to do more looking definitely. There’s no flea markets that I know of in my home town though 😭
Flea markets are OBNOXIOUSLY difficult to track down but once you find a good one, they’re fantastic! They often aren’t super well documented online and some cities have terrible ones so it’s veryyyy tricky. It’s so frustrating to try to find the dolls in different areas because YOU KNOW they’re out there but it’s so annoying to not be able to find them. Facebook marketplace is truly heaven-sent. And there’s often local sales groups on Facebook that have amazing deals too!
At 10:18, that is DEFINITELY a Sharpay Evans doll from High School Musical, I'd know that doll face anywhere! Not sure which iteration she is though. Oh my gosh, it's so good to see Penelope!! I let go of mine a couple of years ago, along with my swan lake barbies, and I miss them. But I remember the little girl who bought my Swan Lake dolls at our garage sale, she was the sweetest thing, also got my little Kelly doll castle. I don't regret it, the look on her face made me glad, I know my dolls went to a good home where they'll be loved. It's funny though, I ended up grabbing the Kelly dolls for that movie a few years ago (save for the deer, can't find her), and I haven't had a good opportunity to display them yet. But I loved Ivan so much, I couldn't not have Ivan in my collection at some point.
The Na Na teen doll you have is Alex Heart I believe, and I really hope they dont cancel the teens cause they are like the only current doll line i collect that i buy new ha ha
I checked our once upon a child. They have no dolls. None. So weird but I guess no one brings them in. I found a kitchen our generation doll set for my daughter though. She is loving her our generation and thrifted american girl dolls so the kitchen was the right size and she was super happy. I took her baby stuff in and it paid for it so that worked great. I tried 2 times for dolls but no dolls. That was disappointing for dolls. Maybe they will have some another time. You found some great dolls. I had way better luck finding dolls on goodwill online recently. Even a disney limited alice doll. I was amazed.
Hello,Brooke.I wish the stores you go to possess the wares in the doll and toy sections in my area..I found some dolls I am seeking in your thrift hauls.I don't mind no shoes or accessories,just style and eye appeal that catches my attention.I do look for accessories to my Star Wars though.I will wait after you move to send you a care package [Misfit Dolls and Accessories] found looking for a new forever home.Maybe,if you don't need them you know someone that wants them.Hint: LOL dolls in the package.Fashionato if I am spelling it right.
How many of the Rainbow Surprise dolls do you have now? It would be so cool to see this girl with all her Amaya pals and in comparison to the big Amaya! Also Nude Blonde Barbies would be a sick band name haha
I think she put out an updated video recently showing all her RH dolls. It’s fun because you can see all her custom / modified ones too. You can probably find it if you dig through her backlog. 😄
@@doll_dress_swap1269 oh yes, I have seen that one! I more meant the Rainbow Surprise dolls as opposed to RH, although I think she must have 3 now haha
Ahh Im so suprised they have those omg dolls there. In my stores they even still sell SWAG and other girls so. But those were good finds! I personally got last week my little pony 2003 mcdonalds pony. She didnt come with her stand but its okey she was 30cents anyways and then I found one g4 movie pinkie pie with mermaid tail. Doll finds here arent really that good tbh I did see some winx dolls that u might had loved but yeah I literally live in Europe ahah and personally I dont collect winx.
The momma doll you saw was a Mrs. Hearts doll and my friends say she looks like me🤣 I have one of the babies she comes with lol. I have a whole back story to one of my MTM barbies that she is a single mom lolol. Idk when messing with my dolls I just have more fun if I have a family scenario going on
Aw!! I love that. Well now I’ll have to get her next time… I’ve seen her at that exact thrift store four separate times so idk if she was really popular here or that’s the same doll every time
Since they’re so new they’re not common at thrift stores! And people know they have value so they get snatched up quick. I’ve found a few but NEVER with any of their stuff! That was crazy!
I thrift a lot and I've only ever found 2, and they were nude. But I got them anyway and dressed one in Barbie clothes and the other in a RH 2nd outfit.
5$ is a lot I shop thrift and resale all the time and I hate it when they take donated items especially toys and charges as much as if it was new 😒 im from FL and in a small town alot of low income families its a shame that moms and dads grandparents have to say no for a toy at all lol ask my grandkids but at a thrift store it is worse
the barbie at 4:04 is the 1999 hollywood nails barbie, shes not in her original outfit and it looks like someone chopped off her fringe, also she is my absolute favorite barbie i own and i can spot her from a mile away
😳 I hope whoever finds them ends up enjoying them. So cool! I just knew they’d end up in my Barbie clothes HELL pile and never get love so I decided to leave them. That’s insane though :O
