Restoration Project

I bought this old toy truck at a flea market when I was on vacation. It was only $2.

It was made in England and dates back to the mid-1960s.

I looked online for parts to fix it up and found a place in Australia. I ordered some replacement tires, a horn, and stickers. Thanks Internet.

It is looking a lot better now! Probably hasn’t looked this good in decades. I will keep looking for the last missing part for the rear door on the tipper part.

I am constantly trying to find rebody options for my Dawn dolls, as the heads always outlast the bodies. It’s been going…not well, overall. I’ve tried out everything remotely likely in my stash today, and these are the results.

6” Jojo Siwa doll: head fits, but falls off very easily. Standard Dawn in center (featuring minor version of aforementioned body-breakdown in the foot area). Mean lady from Annie, I think? Head fits technically, but neck is too short and looks awkward.

Two different action figure bodies, no neck pegs, so I’m out of luck there.

Snapstar on left, Boxy Girl on right, both necks too thick to get heads onto.

Little Miss Dollikin/Triki Miki on left, 8” Mego girl on right, same neck-thickness problem as above.

Dollhouse doll on left; she’s all one piece so head swaps aren’t possible. I think a Lesney matchbox girl on the right? Her neck peg is way too long.

Two actually feasible options! 6” Disney doll from the huge Ralph Breaks the Internet set on the left, and a mini Barbie on the right.

Older 6” Disney Princess on the left, neck peg too wide. Rockflower on the right, probably a feasible option with a decent color match, but I could only find the black one today, so.

Mini Princesses, mini Barbies, and Rockflowes are my body swap options. Unfortunately mini Barbies and Rockflowers aren’t any easier to track down than Dawn bodies in good condition, so.

The princesses aren’t exactly easy, but the Disney store is selling complete sets (which would be 14 dolls, 10 of them a decent skin tone for my floating Dawn heads) for $120. I can’t justify that much money on dolls when I just spent $400 on my basement renovation yesterday, so hopefully they’ll keep them in stock for a long time.

I just found my husband’s matchbox Super King collection and got his approval to help him downsize. #lesney #lesneymatchbox #superkings #carcarrier #cranetruck #vintagematchbox #originalpackaging #matchbox #vintagetoys #vintage #etsy #clittleshop #downsizing #rehoming #collectible #collectibletoy (at CLittleShop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY8_7NYuDf9/?utm_medium=tumblr
