Savetheinternet.com The FCC is now deciding whether to reassert its authority to protect broadband access from phone and cable company take-over! The telecom companies want to be able to block access to online information and prioritize their own content and services over their competitors'.
The FCC needs to "reclassify" broadband and protect the open Internet for good. Our online future rests on the FCC putting the public interest before phone and cable company profits.  FreePress.net

Often I receive requests to restore other vinyl fashion dolls, baby dolls and toys (besides Barbie).  
It is always enjoyable to learn about other dolls and venture out beyond the world of Vintage Barbie.

Below are some examples of other dolls I have worked with:
 

Liddle Kiddle by Mattel:  'Beat A Diddle,' normally a blonde, has been completely re-rooted with silky saran hair and her blush and slight pale areas have been re-colored:

Betsy McCall with face paint restorations and her hair re-styled:

Samantha by Ideal:  This rare vintage doll from the TV series, 'Bewitched,' needed her brows re-painted:

Wendy by Uneeda (Also known as a Barbie or Lilli Clone doll):

New Silkstone Barbie by Mattel:  Here is my OOAK version of a Bild Lilli that was created from a silkstone Barbie:

Unknown Fashion Large Fashion Doll: This doll has been completely re-rooted and has had a touch-up to her brows and mouth:

Mattel's Chatty dolls with face paint restorations and vinyl re-coloring of white fade spots ('Chatty Measles')

Partial Re-root for a rare Chatty Baby on the top, bangs and sides

 

Unknown Small Vintage Doll

Miss Revlon Doll (After her 'green nose' treatment)

Dolls from the Sailor Moon cartoon

Artist Joel Evan creates gorgeous outfits for his Sailor Moon dolls. As you can see, he also does incredible custom re-rooting.
I was honored to assist Joel with the face paint touch ups to his creations below.
In the Japanese cartoon series, the characters were regular people that transformed into fighting sailors: Ami (Sailor Mercury), Rei (Sailor Mars) has been re-rooted with red hair, and Usagi (Sailor Moon) has been re-rooted with pink hair:

 
Please email me if you are interested in Joel's creations and would like him to contact you.
