Never buy a 6 decades old stuffed animal filled with dirt… best mistake of my life
(Images of her irl + full story under the cut)
I’ve wanted a rubber faced doll ever since I discovered them back when I was in middle school. Their cute, slightly creepy appearance and interesting faces have always inspired and intrigued me. However, I had never had the chance to own one until now. Heck, before getting Rosy, I had never even seen one irl! I had only seen images of them online so I didn’t have any idea what to expect. How did their fabric and rubber faces feel? She wasn’t one of the famous Rushton star creation toys but that was fine with me since she was one of the cutest ones I had ever seen.
When she arrived, I opened the box and upon seeing her I flinched. Idk !! It’s kinda jarring seeing one of these creatures irl for the first time, I picked her up and upon further inspection she was EXTREMELY dusty/dirty. The listing did NOT show this or say anything warning about it in the description. Here is what she looked like upon arrival. The clean spot on her face in the second photo is where I passed my finger.

It was terrible, I knew she needed a nice wash. I thought maybe she was just a bit dusty… oh boy was I wrong. I decided to unstitch the seam on her back and remove the stuffing, this was the single most important step of the process because nothing could’ve prepared me for what happened next. THIS was what was inside when I opened her up:

Up until now, I still have no idea what this stuff was or is but she was totally full of it. Perhaps whatever was inside her had totally decomposed, but I don’t know what or how this could’ve happened. It was like DIRT or sand, or something. It was dark and very thin in texture. One of my friends said it looked like human ashes, which I hope was not the case. I doubt it though, since it was even lodged into her ears (her ears are hollow inside), while it’s possible that she could’ve been tampered with because the stitches on the back of her head were extremely sloppy and visible, some other images of these bunnies sometimes had similar stitching. It could’ve been anything really. Obviously I used a mask and gloves while removing this. I even made sure to turn her body totally inside out to make sure ALL of it was gone.
Tumblr media
After that, I proceeded to give her a nice hand wash and brushed out her fur. You may notice a patch of it is missing near her arm but that was always there, it just wasn’t visible in the first image but the listing photos did show this. Then I set her to air dry on a hanger. I would recommend against this though since I believe her mid section was slightly stained by it when her pink back fur was pressed against the white on the front. The next day after I got home from school she was dry. I went out and got some new stuffing for her and stitched her back up. Here she is nice and new with a few other plush friends ! I decided to give her a little bow too.

Overall I’m super happy with how this restoration turned out, Rosy is absolutely perfect now! She is everything I could’ve wanted in a rubber faced doll. I’m still getting used to her presence but she makes me very happy and I feel like I did her a great service by restoring her and giving her a new loving home ^_^

Researches of Rushton Toys
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who made Rushton dolls?
Welcome to my little site dedicated to Mary Rushton, creator of the Rushton toy company. After Mary's passing in 1984, she and her daughter Wight have continued to live through their toys, which have gained a cult following over the years.
What is the history of Rushton by Star Creations?
Rushton's Star Creation toy line were painted, rubber faced animals and dolls. They were made from the 1950's – 1960's. It was one of their most popular toy lines. The company continued to offer a range of products until its closure in approximately 1984.
Where did Rushton dolls come from?
The Rushton Company was actually an American company, started by an Atlanta woman and that lasted from 1917 to 1983, being passed down as a family company. If you go antiquing or flea shopping for fabulous vintage fashion, you are sure to come across some Rushton plushies in varying states of condition

Hi I'm Roman. I'm a life long toy collector. My favorites include Sanrio, Sylvanian Families, Littlest Pet Shop, Monster High, Monchhichi, Rushton Star Creations, Edward Mobley, and creepy old dolls (ex: antique bisque dolls, Little Miss No Name, Bye-lo Babies). I like toys for nostalgia, but I also fw some contemporary toys. I'm currently kinda homeless so most of my collection is stored in someone's garage but I do have some on hand+ I go to a lot of 2nd hand stores so I will make original posts from time to time. I've been on Tumblr for a good half a decade on and off. I've had morute, tcc, and proana blogs b4 (it's in my past, don't judge lol) but this one is based mainly around toys bc that's my my longest lasting and currently most brain cell consuming special interests

Okay he is definitely not a furby but I (finally) found a vintage rubber face toy and I’m in love with him. He’s from the 60’s and his paint job is almost perfect! I’ll be giving him a nice new pink bow when I find some ribbon. His name is Figaro! He can bring as many curses into my home as he pleases and I will still love him. He may not be perfect, but looking at him makes me want to cry happy tears. I’ve been looking for a toy like this for ages, and he just fell into my lap. My heart actually stopped when I saw him pfff, I was so so so excited. I know some people find these toys creepy but I hope you can accept this boy into your hearts- lots of people find furbies scary too, but we all know they’re not as scary as they seem! Figaro is cute and special to me, and it’s okay if you find him creepy (he is, it’s why I love him), but please be respectful!
***If this post genuinely bothers any of you (ex triggers paranoia), lmk and I can put him on my main blog instead. But I’m keeping it out of the furby tags for that reason, and I’ve put warning tags!***
