As a collector of secondhand dolls, just a tip: Make sure you wash loose dolls that you buy secondhand! Even if they look clean and don't smell, you would be surprised how much dirt comes off of dolls that look immaculate. It never hurts to clean secondhand dolls even if they're new in the box. Dirt and dust can creep into the gaps between the cardboard. Also, for the loose doll, you can use some fabric softener to help soften her brittle hair. I've done it many times before, it can only help. (It also makes them smell good for a long time.)

I miss when barbies had this quality of face screening instead of the pixelated stickers or just cheap stickers of today :( I miss the glitter, gloss, textures... and the details on the clothing... ugh

In my close circle of family members and friends collecting dolls / toys is looked upon as being too childish and not something a 30 year old (like myself) should be doing. I am SO GLAD that I found your channel. I really mean it. I am struggling with depression all my life and even so much as a channel like yours is helping me get through life so much happier.

I have been finding 70, 80, and 90's barbies at thrift stores. Going to start buying on Ebay also.

The Happy Family Barbie's from the 90's. Phenomenal quality dolls, playsets and accessories! Mattel needs to bring back quality!!! I wouldn't mind spending $$$ if the quality was there!

My bestie gave me the beautiful copper dress AA Barbie!! I love her!!

I’ve been collecting the old Kelly dolls they are so adorable.

I saw an 1800 french lady barbie at a thrift store for $40 but then I found the same one on eBay for about $20 and it arrived yesterday she's a collector barbie that I love and these barbies are so cool

7:12 my cousin has this doll and still have her till this days... like has pass over 11 years and it's crazy.. how much we enjoing playing together ..and play with her.. so years now.. Nice to see this doll and remember these memories.. thanks 💙

You always talk about a 50 something doll collector well I am a 60 something gal that has gotten into collecting dolls after watching your vids. I started with the Na Na Na and it’s going from there. I really like unusual looking dolls. Love your vids. Love your no nonsense attitude.

20:52 they're girlfriends ❤️

What shelves do you use to display your dolls behind you? I always watch your videos and love the shelf set up!

the dark skinned beauty at the very end blew me away wow...

8:40 be careful with that one dear, don't boil wash her. The glue Mattel used in her head is weird, idk how to explain it - but I have her, and I boil washed her, and until today her hair is full of glue :( it's hard as a rock... can't get rid of that, unfortunately. The same happened to my Toy Story 3 Barbie

I have a lot of Barbie 2009-2013 barbie Fashionista's and I love the Barbie Hollywood Divas line, for me they are the best Barbie era that exists!! 💖

Great Haul. I wish I had gotten more S.I.S. dolls back in the day, like this Grace in the AKA sorority colors. I only have one of the Baby Phat S.I.S. dolls since they more posable, and I still like the look of her more than my newer Barbies. I also miss the Barbie Basics/Look dolls. Speaking of diverse spin-off lines, I recently watched a video on Shani dolls. I remember them from the early 90s, basically the predecessor to S.I.S.

please do more vintage barbie hauls! the early 2000s remind me of my childhood :D

i love these eBay vids

Hey Melissa when you do that monster high eBay stream can you save it or something so people can watch it later also hope u have a wonderful day

I totally agree!! This was a good haul. That orange dress is like liquid fire shaped to her body and I am soo for it.

22:54 she is beautiful, like a goddess. I just broke my pocket and bought her on ebay. That color combination with her beautiful deep skin and orange/coopery shimmer dress is striking. I am so glad it's you who did this review. I can't wait to get her in the mail.

You’re like, my spirit animal. I just bought 5 naked barbies at a thrift store, nothing really special but I still like them!

Your dress sounds pretty. Also, I adore the beautiful lady in the orange dress. The orange is just absolutely stunning with her gorgeous dark skin tone.

This line so in style is gorgeous😄💝✨

Not to be rude I still absolutely love my world but I like it better when Gracie was here!! She just made it so funny!

I woke up at 1 am and I was like LETS WATCH MY WORLD!! And I grabbed my Cheetos and I was like alright let’s watch my favorite youtuber haha

Your nails are so fun!

the way the one in orange is looking at you is MAGIC i luv it

She is beautiful lovely dolls ,you have a beautiful collection of dolls I love it💖💖💖

Omg 🤩🤩🤩.....love love love all your doll collections 💖💖💖💖.

Somebody has a crush on the Mbili face sculpt. Four of these dolls, including the showstopper at the end were Mbili. She definitely is one of my top 3. ❤️

These are such great doll I'm loving them

Awesome Barbie haul. They are all beautiful dolls with great outfits my favourite would be the city shine dolls, especially the one in that amazing copper/orange dress. Makes me want to buy some Barbies on eBay. 😍♥️

I loved the City Looks dolls you unboxed.

I love these. I wish I could rebuy the barbies i gave away but i will never get the clothing collection i had for them. I had a whole suitcase full of barbie clothing and i regret ever giving them up but I gave them to a little girl next door who loved them and could enjoy them.

How to get away with murder is really good! I just had to watch it all haha x'D

Gorgeous dolls💖

i miss the early 2000s lara face sculpt barbie. that is the best barbie face ever. like very super model-esque

I feel that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I tend to prefer my barbies without a ton of eye makeup. I am not against makeup, I wear it, I just prefer the more subtle make up on them. 😊

I am so jealous of your dolls. They're gorgeous❤

Love the look back on all these dolls. I loved the model muse bodies on the top model dolls from 2007. I believe...? They just stopped making them and never made any extra clothing. Great haul!!!

Late nite barbie and ken shopping has happened to me too 😆lol.

Wow the Barbie look city shine 😍😍😍 I bought the 2008 holiday Barbie off Mercari cause I had to have a Barbie with the real eyelashes 👍👍👍 😱❤️ love when Barbie gets earrings and a ring

The best Barbie wen every fashionista articulated

I miss when they had make up

I love the face of the last doll you showed.

Omg!!! I literally got that doll two weeks ago on eBay. I am not a big fan of the fashionistas especially now that they’re faces are pixelated and I hate it. So I found these so in style dolls and I’m in love. When these came out my little boy was just starting school and I didn’t feel like I wanted to spend money on something that was not child related. However, now that he’s in college I’m going to town. I’m going to try and collect as many of the soul in style dolls as I can. I love their face sculpt, I love their outfits I love their hair. Altogether I feel like they were very well done and affordable at the time.

I remember Ma Niki!! I loved that so much!!

Nice haul

I love seeing all these dolls that I grew up with

I so wish they would go back to that face mold and makeup in the 2010 time frame. I just can't get into this new face since 2014....Love your Haul. I have the, The Look doll in hot pink as well. Two of them, one in the box and one out. She is gorgeous!! I have been searching off and on for the girl in orange.

so jealous u gotten fashionistas sweetie XD sassy is really cute too

those city shine girls are gorgeousss i really want the tangerine dress girl!! i really need that cheer s.i.s girl as well omg

I didn't have a chance to get the Barbie The Look, City Shine doll that I wanted-the one with the short dark hair, long triangular earrings, and red and black ensemble. I thought she was wonderful the moment I saw her, because she made me think of my favorite non-Barbie doll in the Barbie line, Casey. My Casey came in a shiny white and gold swimsuit and had short dark hair and triangle earring, we had many convoluted adventures together and she became my main character. To me the City Shine doll I'm referring to would be her updated (2014) version. She's amazing.

I totally agree with you on the ecstasy that produces the contemplation of these City Shine dolls...There`s no need for articulation in them. Bronze girl, the one in fucsia, the golden dress one and the long-haired brunette (so Priscilla Presley) in lace dress are my most favourites!!!! Seeing them is like a Dinasty series chapter and rooted lashes for me is a must.

When are u going to do the opening a giant collection of monster High dolls u bought? I love monster High and i really am excited ❤️

Gorgeous! 💕💕💕

"I think she'd rather walk barefoot than wear those" CACKLING 😂

The previous faces were so beautiful... Their bodies and other features are the definition of Barbie to me 💔

I would love if they brought back the So In Style Barbie line! I caught on too late. All I could find when I discovered them were the sis budget dolls🥺. You are awesome loved your haul!

Love your late night shopping! I've wanted one of those Grace/Nikki dolls for a while - I may go looking for one. Do you collect any of the Generation Girl Barbies with their hobby accessories? They look great displayed in their boxes, with all their things.

I'm your biggest fannnnnnnn! ❤❤❤❤

Mama your backdrops super light pink. If you have like a display wall thingy to display them all like a dark or black wallpaper/diarama display thingy it should workxx

Omg the 2 city the look Barbies really make me watch hustlers again for some reason anyone else?🤣❤️

Queen on spending a coin !

I really miss So In Style Barbies they were so beautiful back then!

Btw you have a beautiful eyes ....looks like the rainbow high dolls 💖💖🥰

That orange dress on the dark skin! I gasped audibly! That doll in pink is totally Jayne Kennedy.

You probably know tricks and everything like that but a nice boil dip and then a little bit of conditioner and then boil dip it. I do repaints from use Barbies all the time so I even know how to make a wig or reroot if I have to. Also when it comes to all Barbies I have to get rid of that cheesy grin. That goes away and they get a closed-mouth smirk. Something about those teeth it's just a white line right acrost the mouth so yeah that's one of the first things to go when I do repaints I also love the hooded eye look. You were just talking about it with the doll that has the dress that looks like the sun to me it's so gorgeous it looks like the sunshine her skin tone is something that I've been looking for for so long and I really do like the fashion Muse dolls like that because I'm a clothes and they are absolutely perfect for displaying those clothes for sale and ask for the hooded eye look on all my repaints they get false lashes

Omg the pop dolls! I'm currently 14 so when they came out I was a baby child (and I didnt collect anything) and I got one doll and everytime i had a bad day my dad would bring home a new head for the doll.

5:09 I just thrifted this Barbie head, but her earings are clear white instead of clear pink

I love your lipstick !! What brand and color are you wearing ? I want it 😘

Cute

AMAZINGLY

Can you do more eBay shopping please?

I totally agree with you Barbie has went down and it’s not looking good for her

Love your videos Melissa, I love the two fashionista, the barbie that you got alone is gorgeous where did you get it? I wish I could get one. Keep it up, I love barbies and I also collect them, I love when the barbies had good quality.

10:41 I remember her! Also, I have the same doll that was the dad.

Aww I love the kitty logo lol

You look super pretty girl😘

Who loved the swap n style dolls? Idk why but I loved them 😂

wow yay i’m early! i’ve been watching since like 2015-2016ish? most definitely earlier than that. haven’t watched you in a while and now i’m back! ily, and you basically raised me

City shine makes me think of Gladys Knight.

please do another MH haul!.....P.S love your vids

Hi, found this video! Just a suggestion, maybe you can leave links to your other videos in your description, to whichever videos that maybe related to each other. That way, we viewers can see more of your contents and you get more viewers 😄

To the people that are saying first. You're not because this video is from 25 minutes ago and you commented five to ten minutes ago.

Kids tend to accidentally break articulated dolls and then cry. Mattel tries their best to please everyone imaginable.

Nice so never let your kids have a popsicle because they might get their lip or tongue stuck to it because it’s frozen and it will get the system to it and also the ice to does the same thing

Yasss

When are you doing the monster high haul? 💖

Okay so this is irrelevant to the video but, I'd really like to see you make a review video, on the real little miniature backpacks.

I have been trying to get those Barbie The Look dolls.

yessss

I think the barbie in style doll is not Nikki but Grace cause she looks different then the Nikki usually does

Hii your makeup is so petty by the way :o

I really like the Barbies sisters era like right before the life in the dream house era and before they added the things to the bottom of the accessories (like the food)🤮

Hi. Do you know what ever happened to The Zelfs ?

That looks Barbie in th orange is a stunner. I’m not fond of the permanent poses but if they are display only then it works for that It’s interesting that the new Looks series are all articulated but. Wearing realy boring clothes. Thankfully not the BMR but still boring

I hate that I buy so many dolls off of ebay 😭😭

Did anyone else remember the barbies that had metal in their posable joints? I pinched my skin so many times.
