@@memorykeepersarchive3953 I know denture cleanser soaks help with that as well, but it’s recommended that using a blend of copic markers to recreate the original skin shade works!

That glue that mattel used before is disgusting some of my monster high dolls have a yellow face too 😿

Everytime when I buy Dolls from 2nd Hand Stores they sometimes have a glue seepage, but I was able to fix it with cornstarch.

The Hello Kitty and My Melody dolls with the Steffi face sculpt are so beautiful and (in my opinion) perfect. I wish they would re-issue these dolls. You did a great job with the doll.

I find that 'retrobrighting' works well for removing yellow discoloration. This is just a matter of using peroxides with UV light. Not all plastics respond the same to all peroxides, so it's often a good idea to try retrobright with hydrogen peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, and creme developer for hair in succession. Often one of these will do the trick where others barely do anything. I like to use a UV light chamber with LED lights rather than natural sunlight, but I don't have convenient access to sunlight all year long.

Ive to agree it might of been the glue but also the product gel they used in the barbies hair the glue inside her hair may have reacted with the gel when it got too hot due to humidity wherever it was and and since some glues and gels do have a faint residue in color may have caused the discoloration. kind of like what happens with the old earrings in barbies ears there's a chemical reaction as the item decays and causes the nasty green ear ( which is hell to remove and just as annoying as yellow face syndrome for barbies)

I tried getting rid of the sun damage on my Jewel Secrets barbie with acetone and messed up the plastic. But I know acetone works well on stained heads as well but of course you have to be careful not to wipe of their face paint completely lol. I will try the denture tablet method for sure. Have you seen the Treasa Barbie with articulation and comes with a bike yet? She has the 1990 Treasa face sculpt and is reminiscent of the late 1990s early 2000. I just bought her after weeks of looking.

Hello there, I have a question about a Barbie from the 90's I just bought. She is in almost perfect condition except the torso of the doll which is different from the rest of the body. Is there anything I could do to fix it?

That stickiness is due to the plasticizer leaching from the vinyl. Even dolls that were made prior to Mattel securing hair with glue has this condition . Plasticizer is what makes the head pliable. Over time, the plastic starts to degrade and the plasticizer leaches out. Not sure if heat or sunlight accelerates the condition or causes it.

This is a lovely doll the only Hello Kitty theme I see recently are the outfits.

I dressed like I'm attending a funeral all the time I'm trying to restart my doll collection after donating them years ago and I want to start customizing dolls so I've been watching a lot of doll content so that might be why. I collect action figures from shows I like so It would be funny to see a bunch of action figures next to a bunch of fashion dolls. I want to create a Ben 10 doll so that would be really funny to see it next to the Alien Force action figures.

I have never had this happen to my dolls, but I have to say, I agree with you, the sun and heat must be the cause here. I store my barbie inside my closet where the temperature always cooler than outside, and window or sunlight, and it seem like my dolls are still in perfect condition.
