I wish I could hit a thousand thumbs up!!!! Altyn is intriguing, entertaining, knowledgeable … a true joy ❣️ And a super big 👍🏼 to Altyn’s dad 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fantastic! Altyn you are a joy to watch. I love that you and your dad can share this hobby together.

With all his knowledge, he reminds me of a young Sheldon 😄 but instead of science, he has a love for dolls ❤️ plus his parents did amazing job, he is so incredibly humble for such a young age and the fact his hobby also ties in with a family tradition to, these are memories that will last a life time and more.

Yall did the nicest thing for that young man. He is so knowledgeable

That was Very Kind of YOU Rachel to give Altyn the Dolls; that he can fit up and enjoy. He loves his Dolls.

Everything about this show is up-lifting. Rachel, you are a a pleasure to watch- your giving heart is so evident. Altyn and dad are a cool collecting team-they will be good caretakers of your gifts.

He must have the most wonderful father as you can tell when he speaks to the boy the warmness, he has for him.

My cup runneth over. So much fun. Thank you for sharing with us, Altyn! You definitely scored big time!

AND I so love Christopher advising him on everything. Can't wait to meet you guys at the end of the month.

Love this…!❤ Thanks Ms. Rachel for being an enabler and a good “fairy dollmother” to Altyn…

Altyn is just the sweetest! And I’m very impressed by his knowledge of dolls especially the ventriloquist dolls and his love for the Chatty Cathy family, and Skipper, too! Happy doll collecting, Altyn! And you have such a cool dad, too! You’re all so amazing! I smiled all the way through this video. 🥰

I love him! And his dad.

Здравствуйте! Вы чудесная и щедрая женщина! Я так рада за этого мальчика! Вы сделали его счастливым!

It's very nice to see men and boys collecting doll's to .

Way to go Alton! Perhaps Raggedy Ann could benefit from a Lego robotic arm. There are loads of kits and instructions. As a disabled person, I love your kindness and ingenuity in wanting to help an injured doll.

AMAZING VIDEO❤❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVED!!!

What a sweet and loving Dad and son. Good luck Altyn on all your future passions and endeavors! l learned to sew in the early 60's by sewing for by Barbie and sewing is still a passion for me. Your Grandma's "handmade" doll clothes are invaluable. Thanks for such a fun video!

Loved Loved Loved♥

I’m a Skipper collector screaming for him to take them ALL! So many great dolls to choose from on that table! And he passed them all by!

Right?? They kept nudging him gently to literally take it ALL and he's still so sweet. Thinking of his mom and her space. Great kiddo, love the new haircut.

Great program. I loved seeing son and dad sharing their collecting love.

That was so much fun!!!!!❤

Excellent video! Alton is a star addition to the TonnerFest. He is super knowledgeable and delightfully humorous and entertaining. He will no doubt do well in all future videos. He may very well the next film star

He is so knowledgeable! What a great hobby. He did a great job! The dolls arrived in a 40vHP chainsaw box. Hilarious!

He’s so knowledgeable and so articulate! Love him!

Hi Rachael, thanks for this wonderful show and give away to Altyn. He is very special. I hope he has plenty of time to devote to his collections and creativity. I can see him being a real personality and creator in the doll world. Go for it Altyn, your directional star is set. Love love.

He’s a very nice young man and a great addition to the Doll community and so knowledgeable.🥰🥰

What a delight!

SUCH A SWEET YOUNG MAN! I DO REMEMBER MY "CHATTY Cathy." My bratty brother kept pulling her string till he broke her(speaking ability).

I am pretty sure that the Madame Alexander doll is a Wendy Ann which is quite valuable. What a precocious, intelligent young man, and I am impressed with his knowledge and collection. Rachel, you are the best! Thank you so much for this video - you made my weekend!

Well....this was just the BEST EVER !! I am in LOVE with Altyn and Christopher !! What a wonderful surprise for such a special and knowledgable young man !! Can't wait for the Chatty Cathy video. I will make sure I have mine ready and my Chatty Baby too !

I missed this earlier and I am so glad I can watch the replay. Altyn is amazing and I am blown away by his knowledge.

I can’t find words to appreciate Alytn’s dad for supporting his son. So many fathers shame and discourage their boys.

Great dad. Such a lovely boy! Hmmm…yes please All on the table…pin cushion, lady antique in top right, ALL the outfits regardless if I had the dolls! The Russian doll, Madame Alexander

What a cool kid!! He is so polite & knowledgeable!!!❤❤❤

I can just sit and listen to him all day. He's so knowledgeable!

What an amazing young man.❤

What a sweet kid, his Dad melts my heart too. Awesome video as always♥️

What a sweet young man!

Rachel, Altyn is so smart and I so LOVE his Doll collection🤗🤗💖💖💖💖💖!!! And Like Altyn, I too as a Child LOVED Mr. Potato Head🥔😃💜💜!! When I was a Child and I was sick, my now Late Dad asked me what Toy I would like to feel better and I said, "A Mr. Potato Head"🥔😃💜💜!! Altyn made me feel so nostalgic 🤗🤗✨✨and I wish I still had my Mr. Potato Head😪🤗!! I too LOVE My Little Ponies and I have 3 reproductions as well as one 🏰Dream Castle Pony🏰 from the 80s named Majesty👑💙💙 and I kept a couple Troll Dolls!! As for Altyn's personal collection that he brought in my favorites are: 1940s to 1950s Doll he named Judy with beautiful blonde hair, beautiful lavender gown💜💜 with white pok a dots and matching bonnet💜💜💜💜💜 , 1961 Barbie in the reproduction red flare silk frame outfit❤❤❤❤❤ and necklace , Midge because I LOVE how Altyn styled her hair giving her the 1960s flip style❤❤❤❤❤, and both Ken Dolls💙💙!!! However, my favorite Ken is the 1970s face mold with Ken's plastic blonde hair is just the most handsome Ken in my opinion!! And I so agree with Rachel that the Raggedy Andy❤❤ and Raggedy Ann❤❤ from Altyn's gift shopping spree is my favorite too!! However, I really do LOVE that American Character Sweet Sue Doll💜💜💜💜💜 and the Skipper in the orange 2 piece bathing suit🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡!!! Thank you Altyn for sharing your Doll Collection 💖💖💖💖and your knowledge😃😃👍👍👍👍👍!!! And thank you Rachel for having Altyn as a guest on your You Tube Channel and it was a lot of fun seeing you give him such nice Doll gifts🤗🤗, I know Atyln will enjoy them🤗🤗!!!!

Oh my heart, Midge is my favorite too. Hugs to you Altyn!! Love this video. You did an excellent job.

Linda Williams would be from the Danny Thomas Show. What an exceptional young man!

So very sweet… you are so right you are such an enabler. Too bad that he was too shy to not take more. Such a charming young man I really enjoyed this video.

What a fun video! You go, Altyn! When y’all were playing how many Skippers to hide on him I could not stop laughing!❤

The way Christopher looks at him like he was looking into the past is adorable! ❤

omg smiles laughter and happy tears, you're so lovely Rachel, if I was Altynn I would've been so overwhelmed also, I love the support he gets from his father, truly made me emotional, I just love seeing people do nice things for others.

If I had a Chatty Cathy I would give it to him. This is a great video!!

Loved the video! It is wonderful to see children collecting dolls and other items.

This was such a wonderful video. Kudos for this wonderful Father supporting his Son with his love of dolls. Altyn is such a special and respectful young man.

Altyn and his Dad are great! So very knowledgeable! What a joy to see them in your shop. It’s so sweet of you to share your dolls with him. Love how Christopher anticipates what is needed and always works to make things perfect in the back ground. 😃😄🥰

He's a doll! This video made my heart smile. 💛 Ty

Wow, Altyn is amazing with his specific knowledge of dolls and their history! He has certainly found his niche in life! I have a large collection of play dolls from the 50-70s and Barbies displayed in my doll room. When my three grandsons, ages 7, 10 and 12; visit, they have to sleep in the dollroom, lol. Unfortunately, they have no interest in my hobby and I am sure these experiences will be told by them throughout their lives greatly exaggerated, lol. They do show respect for the dolls, though; except for the one shelf of Barbies that they could reach. Those girls will never be the same!-Barbara Olechnovich

Barbara, your story is delightful! Altyn indeed brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the doll world. Your doll room sounds like a treasure trove of memories and history! While your grandsons may not share the same passion for your collection, it's heartwarming to know they respect it (with a few playful exceptions for those reachable Barbies 😄). These memories, even if playfully exaggerated in future retellings, will surely hold a special place in their hearts. It's these moments and shared stories that make collecting so much more than just a hobby. Thank you for sharing a snippet of your doll journey with us! 💕🎀🌟

Altyn i am impressed by your knowledge of dolls. I have always had to keep my knowledge of dolls to myself. As a child it would upset my mom that i knew more about dolls than my school work. As an adult my knowledge upsets people on social media. I collect reborn dolls and i know the difference between a real reborn doll and a knock off. Also i collect modern porcelains such as ashton drake. I know the porcelains such as Ashton drake do not have much monetary value but most times when i share this knowledge it upsets people. So i try to keep my knowledge to myself.

Wow! What a cool kid!!! Such a great video, well done!!!😊

What a great supportive dad😊

Cool

Wow I'd take them all love dolls

They still make Raggedy Ann patterns. Sweet boy is knowledgeable.

This was a great video! It was so much fun to listen to Alton’s expertise and love for dolls. Your so kind to host him! He is a child after my own heart, Chatty Cathys are my favorite and I longed for one when I was a child but my mother couldn’t afford one and thought I was getting too old to play with dolls. I finally got my first one in my 60s and it snowballed from there 😊I see a possible future employee in the doll shop😊 Thanks for sharing this sweet interview!🤗👏👏👏

Absolutely Wonderful ❣️ ❤😊Sweet boy 😊So much knowledge 😊

Oh Mercy! That was so much fun to watch! How wonderful that this young fellow has a love for dolls and that his dad enjoys collections also! I have been telling my 5 year grand daughter about the historical American Girls and she is getting intrigued. I gave her a Samantha and bought Bitty Babies for her and her little sister. I also found a Bitty Baby crib at the thrift store for them! It's so much fun to pass along the intense thrill and love of dolls!

Isn't it heartwarming to see multi-generational love for dolls? It's such a testament to the timeless appeal of these collectibles. It sounds like you're doing a fantastic job of introducing the world of dolls to your granddaughter. The American Girls line, especially the historical ones, are a wonderful way to ignite a love for dolls while also teaching a bit of history. And finding treasures like a Bitty Baby crib at a thrift store is like the cherry on top! Passing down the joy of doll collecting is truly a special experience. Here's to many more delightful doll moments with your granddaughters! 😊💕🎀

Very happy to see this young man‘s passion about his collection and all the knowledge he has Obtained about them❤

Wonderful! Love the young man and his dad. My mom loved Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd, and I remember them when I was a kid. My mom loved movies from her time period. I wanted Chatty Cathy but my mom called me her Chatty Cathy when I would ask. My mom didn't trust me with dolls after I cut my lovely bride dolls hair off and I would dress the cat in my doll clothes and the cat would run off and appear with out the doll clothes which I found out was because my mom said she undressed the cat. Well he thinks Skipper takes up room funny - how about Patti Playpal and her siblings?

Loved it. Hope to see him when he does the Chatty Cathy show!

The Linda Williams doll was modeled after Angela Cartwright who played the character Linda on the TV show Make Room for Daddy starring Danny Thomas.Which ran from the 1950s into the early 1960s.

🥰🥰🥰

I really really enjoyed this video! Altyn is such a nice young lad with so much knowledge of dolls in his young head. It was wonderful watching him choose what to take from the table.

This father son relationship is so special. I love that this is their thing. I would trade my collection to have a bond like this with my dad. I'm trying not to tear up. Love these videos.

It's genuinely heartwarming to witness such a close bond between a father and son, especially when it's built around a shared passion. Relationships and connections are so valuable, and while every bond is unique, it's beautiful to see one that resonates so deeply with viewers. Thank you for sharing your feelings and for being a part of the community that appreciates these stories. Your emotional response speaks to the depth of your own heart. Sending warm thoughts your way. 💕🌟🎀

Great share, love that he follows his passion! I have a pull string Winnie the Pooh that doesn't work either. Can they be repaired?

My favorite in my collection is Giggles. I also have some chatty Cathy's.

❤️💙❤️

I'm looking for a pebbles and bambam dolls when they were babys back in the 1960s to add to my collection in good shape with the bone in pebbles hair and the club and hat that bambam wore .

😀😆😍

There are doll doctors who can repair the talking dolls
