Joshua C asked:


My aunt has a pair of wooden nesting dolls that she’d like her grand kids to be able to enjoy over Christmas.

While we can get them apart, we have to do so with considerable force - and we’re adults. We want the kids to be able to unscrew them their selves without too much pain or effort.

Is there anything we can use to lubricate them that won’t harm them?

I have so many Barbie dolls that I don’t use & I was wondering is there is a foundation that specialized in giving Barbie dolls to girls who can afford them.

Paige asked:


I am doing my Spanish project on Guatemalan worry dolls. It is easy to make them, but I didn’t know finding information about their history would be so hard. Does anyone know anything about their detailed history?

The fiercest: Jenny asked:


I have owned several dolls that have had a string coming out of the back that makes the doll say 3-4 phrases when pulled. (Pee-Wee Herman is probably the most famous one)

With every single one, after 5+ years, the phrase comes out very fast and the voice is really high-pitched.

Does anyone know *specifically* why this happens?

My wife has some porcelain dolls laying around & we don’t want to just throw them away in case they’re worth money. Where can I find out how much these are worth if anything?

jinglezzz2902 asked:


I read this back 10 years ago in grade school and all I remember is that there were dolls in the attic that was more of a family to her than her own family. I also vaguely remember something about one of them breaking. (I could be wrong about that) It’s been bugging me cuz I can’t find it anywhere.
