Gorgeous Vintage 3 Brunette Ponytail Barbie Doll With Factory Braid & Orig. SS
Item History & Price
Beautiful #3 vintage brunette ponytail Barbie doll, with well-matched head and body vinyl of a pale creamy coloring. The face paint on this doll is in wonderful condition, with only a light touch-up to lips. Picture #2 was taken "after" the touch-up to lips, and picture #3 was taken "before". (The touch-up paint is water-based acrylic, and can be easily removed with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip. Removal of red paint requires special care, so as to not smear onto surroun...ding vinyl, always stroke Q-tip inward.) There are some areas of surface dingeyness, and some small surface blemishes, with a large one on right side of upper back area (see picture #9). Although not easily seen, but should be noted, is that a very tiny nose-nip has been expertly smoothed (see pictures #4 and #5. Also, please note in picture #5, that the darker area on lower part of face, is a shadow.)The hair is very thick and shiny, and appears to be uncut; a new elastic has been added to the secure the ponytail without disturbing the original wrap. The original fingernail paint is 90%, and approximately 80% on toenails. The original vintage swimsuit is in excellent, undamaged condition.
