Item History & Price
I took pictures outdoors during a very cloudy afternoon, so please excuse the poor quality of my pictures. Everything looks brigther and sharper in person. I will try to describe Barbie as detailed as possible.
Absolutely stunning 1971 Lt. Brown Marlo Flip TNT in excellent+++ barely played with condition. No haircuts or missing hairplugs. AMAZING shiny brown ...hair. Nice flip all the way around. Full curly spit curl and neat sidepart. Her hair is just AWESOME! Brown eyebrows, big blue centered eyes, bubble gum pink lips & matching blush. Eyebrows and lips of the 1971 TNT's look smaller and thinner than the previous TNTs. Full set of long straight lashes. No earring holes, no green ears. No neck splits. As you can see her face / head retain a healthy & even peachy-pink complexion, not yellower, darker or paler than the body like most of the 1971 Japan heads made with this translucent type of vinyl. Her TNT Japan body looks simply great. Both legs are evenly tight. Bendable knees work perfectly holding firmly each of the 3 bent positions. Legs & feet retain a healthy pastel peachy-pink color typical of the 1971 TNT dolls. No bites or cuts on legs or feet. Just the usual marks from the inner bending mechanism on back of thighs and inner calves. Full set of complete toes. Neat factory holes under both feet. Smooth torso with no deep scratches, dents or cracks. Sharp copyright markings on butts. Clean tight arms. No traces of nail polish on fingers or toes. Doll is very clean with a healthy complexion from head to toes. She's wearing a variation of her original swimuit. I've been told that these were availbale in some european markets and I have came across some of them thoroughout the years although I have never seen yet a NRFB doll wearing this particular swimsuit. The whole piece is clean with bright colors, no stains, tears, rips or holes. Nice Barbie tag with minimal fraying. As a free bonus for the lucky winner I have added a magenta & silver adhesive wrist tag specially made for her. It reads GENUINE BARBIE (logo) by MATTEL / Made in Japan on the back. Also a clear cello & a clear nylon thread will keep her gorgeous hair, curl & flip neatly in place during the trip to her new home. Barbie will display great in your vintage or mod collection. either in this outfit or in any of her many cool original outfits from the late 60's or early 70's.<p> I am not the original owner of this particular doll, so I don't know her history. Please zoom the pictures and judge for yourself. This doll looks super clean from head to toes. She's a lovely Barbie in her original suit. She's just ready to strike a pose in the vintage or Mod section of your Barbie cabinet. This is a final sale and the doll is sold as is, so please ask as many questions as you want or request additional pictures if you need. This doll turns 48 this year. While in my position, I have handled her gently & used mostly for display purposes. However and as usual, please don't expect 100% perfection. That would be almost impossible to find after so many years.<p>
SHIPPING: Due to the pandemic restrictions, I will ship my dolls using DHL until mail goes back to normal. However, I will cover half of the DHL fee, so I will only $25.00 to the USA.
