Twinn Doll
repainting a My Twinn doll's face?
I have a My Twinn doll that I'd like to make look a little bit more like a child. The doll was from the "China Era" and was done without a photograph and the quality wasn't that great. What types of paint, brushes, etc. should I use for this project? Also, is it possible to darken My Twinn wigs without a sharpie? Can you change the skin tone at all too?
I've done several high end repairs and can tell you that do not use enamel paints at all on any type of vinyl ( your doll is cold cast I would use oils or acrylics then use Dullcote to protect the finish). Use sponge brushes and not multiple bristle brushes. 1 strand horse hair brushes for fine detail. Start by having your paint at room temperature as your doll is. Applying too great of a temp difference when you go to paint will cause that dreadful "spiderweb" effect.
Be sure to wash your hands before handling any brushes,paint or your doll because oils from your hands can add shadowing dull effects over time to where ever you touch. Have a clean work environment that is suitable to lay out ALL your equipment.
Time is precious when you are restoring any vintage doll or toy. Having the doll prepped for painting is the most important aspect of restoring. Be sure NOT to use any solvents to remove or clean the doll.
If the doll needs paint removed before hand use a clean toothbrush with diluted Windex.
If any filing is required use Milli-putt.
It's an exciting experience to create something new in the era of a vintage doll. Doing right the first time is priceless and so rewarding.
Any paint is fine as long as it is any type of cold cast face , arms etc.
Vinyl needs anything other than enamel's as these will will never dry.

Twin doll
Does My Twinn outfits fit American Girl Dolls?
I was Wondering.
The My Twinn doll is taller and larger than the American Girl Doll, so the clothes do not fit. My Twinn is 23" high and American Girl is 18". Putting a My Twinn outfit on an American Girl would look like she got a hand-me-down from her big sister!

Even at my local Goodwill and Value Village stores, pricing is not consistent. There’s literally no rhyme nor reason to it: identical items priced from ridiculously low to unreasonably high, clothing damaged beyond usefulness priced higher than equivalent new items, overpriced useless junk that should’ve gone straight into a trash bin, “collectibles” more expensive than they are even at antique stores. And yet, I still find treasure, like a $150 My Twinn doll for 3.99, my find of the week!
