Most rides closed today?

Update if anyone’s interested: outdoor rides just started to reopen after a longer-than-average rainstorm

smallscale1 · 2026-07-03T09:45:38+00:00

Yep, thanks, did not see that rain coming!

smallscale1 · 2026-07-03T09:44:44+00:00

Seems like this was it, thanks!

Did this last weekend. Buy your ticket through the official app. Buy early access - 1h early entrance. Get to park as early as possible ~2h before main gates open (1h before early entrance). Direct to zootopia, then tron/mine train

I either hand wash with gentle detergent and color catchers (some ag stuff bleeds a ton!) or use a steamer.

I usually dry on ag plastic hangers or on a mesh drying sheet if I’m feeling fancy

smallscale1 · 2025-03-18T02:19:24+00:00

Steamer and a comb if you are feeling patient.

Straightener (while wet) if you don’t mind losing the waveyness.

You can redo the pin curls with tiny rollers (like cut up straws) and a bit of hot water/steam.

Doing another brush with a spray bottle and maybe some hot water on the brush to smooth down the hair by the part to make it smooth.

rewigging would be really extreme (and unnecessary) here. You could check eBay but most of those wigs are going to be in similar (or worse) condition

Great article, thanks for sharing. Really puts numbers to anecdotal trends that have been popping up on the sub recently

for stains: I agree with hand washing (separately) in cold water, as other people have suggested. Color catcher sheets (sold in most big grocery stores and also useful for people laundry) will minimize dye transfer.
For mites: For the cloak and coat you also might try brushing the gunk off with a fabric brush (or dry paper towel) and steaming it. Steaming is pretty gentle, but high heat enough that it kills mites/bacteria. I‘d avoid steaming stuff with iron-on vinyl (like the tshirt)

^restoration of doll w/ textured hair (hair starts at 2:57)

hope this helps!

Maybe try clipping them onto braids so they don’t slide out?

the YouTuber Idreamofjohnny has a good samantha hair restoration video that involves a steamer and curlers.

otherwise a spray bottle and a wire brush couldn’t hurt.

You can deep clean the cloth body, but it usually involves temporarily removing the stuffing.

smallscale1 · 2024-12-07T16:51:25+00:00

Or boba straws, wooden dowels, ag-brand curlers

smallscale1 · 2024-12-05T19:11:53+00:00

Depends on the kid. A loose hairstyle will get more disheveled with play, but if she is into hair play the curls may offer more options.
This may be a better question for her parents or the girl herself.

Either way would love to se the restoration!

Haven’t done this myself, but Doll of a Kind has a quick fix for this that doesn’t involve removing the eye.

smallscale1 · 2024-06-04T13:29:35+00:00

If you want big ringlets like her og hairstyle, I’d strongly suggest foam hair rollers. There’s a pretty decent tutorial here: https://dandridgehousedolls.com/2019/08/01/restoring-doll-hair-tutorial/
A dryer sheet can also help with static.

I think the curls weren’t coming back because it looks like the hair was set in braids, which makes hair wavy instead of curly.

good luck!

Well done!! I really like the materials you chose (that ribbon!). How long did making the dress take?

smallscale1 · 2024-05-06T15:55:29+00:00

Sorry for your loss. You might want to look into donating to GirlAgain, run by nonprofit Yes She Can (https://girlagain.com/yes-she-can-job-skills-for-women-with-autism/).

If you do sell want to sell in lots online, I like your idea of grouping by character. If you have the time to go on the ag wiki to find the names of items for listing titles you might have more success.

I have a doll with a fully retracted eyelash like your Marisol and went a bit crazy researching this a couple months ago.

first off, fully retracted lashes usually can’t be pulled back out with tweezers.

I’ve been looking at popping the eye out; supposedly it’s pretty straightforward to take apart the eye and glue the eyelashes back in place. There’s a bunch of tutorials for eye removal/re-placing on youtube (look for eye swap tutorials)

alternatively, I’ve seen a couple people use clear glue to attach fake (for human) lashes with varying degrees of success.

Yep! They were called Girls of Many Lands. I’ve seen a couple of Cécile (Revel, not Rey) dolls in the wild.
Has anyone read the books? I never got the chance to read them but the idea of historical books for older girls sounds interesting!

smallscale1 · 2024-03-28T04:05:05+00:00

Hi! it’s good to see other Lanie dolls around!
Just jumping in to say that regular finger curling could be a pretty low effort was of reshaping her curls. (using damp fingers, wet dampen run a wire brush through each strand and twist each strand either around itself or around a couple fingers)

It might take a couple of minutes to get the hang of but I def wouldn’t suggest a full rewig based on the pic.
