Great news! I’m so excited for Rupert Grint. He’s doing amazing.
hey guys!!
i accidentally bought a major TLC prebeforever rebecca a couple days ago, and she just arrived. i might document the process of fixing her up!
i’ll do an updated all my dolls for the spring since the first one i did in the fall was when i had 10 dolls. 6 more girls have been added to my collection since then !!
(also, i think i’m done adding new dolls to my collection for now because i need to start saving up my extra money )
update: she’s here and well ….
she’s A LOT more TLC than i thought:
- her hair is matted and has dirt in it (i think it’ll be fine after a couple washes)
- her limbs aren’t insanely floppy but they aren’t tight either
- her face is COVERED in makeup and other mystery stains (none of which were shown in the listing picture)
- her limbs also have mysterious brown, red, purple, and dirt stains
- her body is fine from what i could tell, but she smells very strongly. like a mix of incense, potpourri, and other perfumed smells. it made my entire living room smell.
needless to say, this will be a huge project. i’ve never fixed up a TLC doll before, and i would love to have any input from you all about which methods work best and how to clean her safely. rebecca is one of my top 5 dream dolls so i’m just grateful to finally have her, regardless of the condition. she was only $25 so i think this will be a worthy process.
my next post will be the first stage in this process: cleaning her limbs.
stay tuned !!
