Please make sure to read the entire description and ask all questions before bidding. Must have 10 ...positive feedbacks. I don't have a smart phone but will check computer email periodically. You can double-check actual USPS ground shipping charges ahead of time on their website with a weight of 30# and dimensions of 47x15x16 from 72031. Oversize and very heavy, calculates a shockingly high rate - for example to CA it comes out $181!!
Shipping will be calculated by postal ground so expect it to take a while to arrive. I need two days to get the doll packed and ready to mail. Original shipping box but it has been in storage for 10 years and has some discoloration, but should get her there safely. The doll will be wrapped in plastic bags for extra protection. Something odd about her original box - she is a 46" doll and the inner box also measures 46". She arrived with her knees bent enough to fit in there safely, (the reason for the box being 3" deeper - 15" vs the standard 12") so that's the way I'll have to ship her as I don't have a larger box. These dolls are way too big and heavy to ship back and forth so no returns - make sure to ask all questions before bidding.
I bought Faith new in December 2010 from Beacon's Glow (my first 46") and she's been a beautiful part of my smoke-free/pet-free living room decor ever since, standing by the piano, and will have some 'shelf dust'. She is all original with stand/tag/COA #154 and has never been undressed. I added the little butterfly clips in her hair to keep her bangs from falling down across her eyes. Her joints are all tight, with her right arm being just a little looser than the left but it still holds a pose. Her ankles are nice and sturdy without any distortion from weight.
There's a small crack in the upper outside edge of her left eye, and something indistinct going on in the outer part of her right eye that looks different, maybe cracks beneath the surface. To the naked eye it looks okay, but with a flashlight and magnifying glass I can see something there. I've taken several photos without being able to capture it clearly (please see photos), just know it's there.
This is the original Masterpiece description:
Faith is a gorgeous beauty. Wow, what a great doll at 46" tall. This is the first time Monika has created a doll this tall so she sculpted a new body for this new size. What sets Faith apart from any other doll this size that we have done before is that Faith is a full body sculpt with 11 joints. She has ball jointed arms at the elbows and ball joints at the knees and joints at the wrist. She can be posed in lots of ways both standing and seated. Also what fun to have a doll this size to redress! Monika has advised that she can wear a US size 6 and a Europe size 116.
Monika has selected a beautiful fabric decorated with a small fairy design for her pleated jumper. The white tee shirt is a nice contrast with this pretty fabric. She has on white pantaloons. Monika has styled for Faith a gorgeous very long wig with highlights in her hair that make her look like she's been out in the sun. She has pretty brown eyes. Her face is so sweet and childlike. She comes with a wooden doll stand.Limited Edition 350 pieces.
