I fell down the Disney doll rabbit hole a while ago and became obsessed with finding the original 2010 Rapunzel doll with tinsel hair. Unfortunately, a lot of them were expensive in both good condition and bad condition, so I was hitting a wall for a while until I came across a Mercari listing! I didn't even notice it was the doll I wanted since it was just listed as "Classic Disney store Rapunzel doll", until I zoomed in on the pics and noticed the tinsel in the hair! Not only that, but the doll was wearing the 2013 dress instead of...well the one it would come with. Regardless, I snatched it up quickly and bought a replacement dress since I hate tacky glitter on dresses and wanted the most accurate dress I could get. As soon as it arrived I undid the braid, and to my absolute dismay, it had knots, was missing hair, and needed a dire makeover. I didn't take any pictures since I was so excited that day to fix her, but I do have photos from the listing, so you can somewhat compare the hair quality if you squint lol

I cleaned her hair with shampoo and conditioner while combing out all the knots. Sadly, a lot of hair came out, but it had to be done. After I was sure I had combed it thoroughly, I boiled-washed it and let it dry. The replacement dress came soon after, so I did the final step which was flat-ironing! I'm pretty proud of how I fixed up the hair, especially considering that it was my first time fixing damaged and knotted doll hair to this extent.

I’ve been obsessed with getting Rapunzel tinsel hair dolls as of late, so when I stumbled upon this doll for a good price I couldn’t help myself! The hair though…I didn’t expect the knots! It could be worse I guess, but now I gotta struggle combing it all out 😫

I ended up getting all the Sonic Adventure pose pins (that I’m aware of) while going on a mass buying of Sonic pins for a Sonic Ita bag I’m making. I got the gold one back when it was released, but managed to get the last two recently for really good prices. Looking at them all lined up together has me feeling all giddy like I’m a kid again lol. I’ve always wanted the whole 98 pin set back when I was a kid, but it was always too expensive. I’m glad I was able to eventually purchase it and add it to my collection! And say what you want about Limited Run Games but they can make a decent pin at least!
