#5 Ponytail in Student Teacher Dress
Good/Fair Condition-Needs some attention
This is a #5 Ponytail that has a lot of potential. She has a very nice
head. Face paint is all original from what I can see, but will need
some retouching for lips & eyebrows. The ears have a tiny bit of
green in each hole but not bad. Just get in there & wipe out the
inside of the head to prevent any spreading if necessary. The hair
looks full but I see 2 or 3 tiny holes at the base of her neck in the
back that are empty. She'll need a general going over & wash but the
hair is nice. Bangs are very nice too! There are tiny neck splits. One
you cannot see on the outside. It's a very tiny slit only inside the
heads inner rim. The other is on the left side. It is tiny. No repairs
have been attempted! She'll fix up beautifully! Her body has all
fingers & toes. She has the hollow body marked 10 on the left
"cheek" and Barbie Pats Pend MCMLVIII by Mattel Inc. on the right
"cheek". She has scuffs and scratches on the front & back of torso but
no holes or dents. Her legs look great from the front. 2
heartbreaking gouges/scratches on the back. 1 on the back of the left
knee & the other on the back of the right lower calf. But they don't
show up from the front on display. Arms do not have any problems
like that. No ink stains on the doll. The arms will swing a little bit
but not horrible. The dress has seam issues like they've been
repaired or are stressed. Some need to be tightened. But it is a
decent display & not filthy. It is the vintage dress & not a repro. The
zipper works very nicely. It's not mint but not bad either! Collar
could be a hair brighter but the white pleated bib on the bodice
looks great! Currently on ebay!! SOLD

Quick Curl Barbie in Original Outfit with Brush
Excellent Condition
This is a beauty! Barbie has had her hair washed & reset by me. She
has super thick hair & was well cared for. Fantastic face with
beautifully painted eyes. No rubs or green stains. Barbie has had the
right leg knob professionally repaired so she's nice & sturdy. All
fingers & toes are in great shape, knees bend & hold 3 positions each.
She is on the correct Taiwan TNT body. There are a couple pin dot
head sized specks on the left foot but nothing horrible at all. I see
one in the picture but she's not filthy. Barbie's dress is very clean. As
so many like it, there are some snags on the sheer sleeves but it's
still a very nice display. The snap closures are secure. The shoes are
in great shape & the brush is very good but has one tooth bent a
little. This is a gorgeous doll for your collection! $75

Fashion Queen Barbie in Golden Girl
Excellent Condition
Barbie has all original face paint. No retouches. There have been
some retouches to her hair (not by me). It's pretty close but you can
see a slight difference. No green ear. Minimal edge wear to the
eyebrows. Nice lips. They don't look like they were
retouched/redone. There might have been a retouch to the eyelash
ridges. Not 100% sure on that but it is possible. Arms & legs are not
swingy. Nice straight stance. I could not really read the number on
the left side of her butt. The right side does have the correct Barbie
& Midge 1962 Pats Pend markings. There is some scratching on her
rear when you put her in the seated position. It's at her bottom, not
where the Midge/Barbie logos are. This does not affect her display
ability in any way. All fingers and toes are there. Some nail polish
rubs and the toes were retouched at some point but not that great.
Golden Girl dress is a great display. Very clean looking. Just a little
bit of a pulled thread here & there but not bad. All it needs is a
little restitching on the back for the fabric on the zipper. It will
display ok as it is, but you might want to just tighten that up when
you have time. Solid doll in nice condition will display great! $24

Sun Set Malibu Barbie in Original Swimsuit
Excellent/Near Mint Condition
Very hard to find a loose Sun Set Malibu that hasn't been chewed,
frizz in the hair! It's very soft & shiny with no missing plugs or cuts.
or abuse. Only one middle toe on the left foot is off. But this is only
a speck of vinyl. She still has pretty feet. Knees click and hold 2
positions each. They click 3 times but don't hold that position. Clean
legs! No makeup rubs or retouches. No earring holes or attempts. No
green ear. Full lips and eyebrows. Bright blue eyes. The only flaw on
the head at all, can't be seen on display. There is a small faint touch
of pale greenish spot right by the 5th or 6th hair plug from the
center part on the right side. You can't see it unless you pull up the
hair off the forehead. She will display beautifully! And her swimsuit
is a beautiful blue. Not faded out as so many tend to do over the
years. And also becoming a rarity, to see one where the seams aren't
split or pulling apart. It's really nice! A very clean display that you'll
love on your shelf! $25

Quick Curl Francie
Very Good Condition
Beautiful face in great shape with no makeup rubs or retouches. No
earring holes, attempts or green stains. Her face is not translucent or
pale. Much prettier than my pictures came out. Hair has been
restyled and I gave her a head band (not original) to keep her hair in
place. Can be combed and restyled easily. Hair looks nice with no
cuts but there is a row of 7 missing plugs on the middle of the back
of the head. Thankfully, the other hair covers this so she looks nice
on display and doesn't look bald. I have done no rerooting on this
doll. She is original. Her body is very good. I pictured her feet,
ankles & hand to show the pricks I found. As you will see in the
pictures she is a good display and they are minimal. She was not
abused, but did see a little play time. No stains and all her fingers
and toes are there. Nice clicking knees that hold 3 positions each
(loud & strong). She does have just a little amount of minor melt
marks on the hips right by the legs (where they meet). She still
looks fine and her legs are not falling off. She did have 2 light melt
marks on her back. They are polished up a bit and not as noticable
as they once were. So you'll only see a trace of what was there (2
oval shapes). If you need close up pics, feel free to ask. But she is a
nice display. Her dress is a good piece. The sleeves of course, have
had contact with her hair in the combed down position and have
snags from that. It's overall a solid dress and good for display, just
not mint. Snap closure is secure and there are no blown seams or
stains. Only handling wear but nothing horrible. Francie is a sweet
doll and will look very nice on your shelf! $38

1964 Miss Barbie in Sophisticated Lady Dress
Gorgeous face! Original makeup with no rubs. Has original orange
headband. Body reads..1958 Mattel Inc. US Patented US Pat. Pend. 1
of left cheek. Flaws are: melting on the head from wearing a wig,
eyes do not close (only a little). Correct body but one leg looks like
it's a different shade/color from the other. I do not believe it to be a
bleached Malibu leg but I don't have the history on the doll. Small
amount of pin pricks on back of left ankle, 1 on front. 3 pin pricks on
right ankle/foot/leg. No missing fingers or toes! Both knees click &
hold 3 positions each. Little curved slice/cut on outer right foot.
Retain 95% of all original nail polish. Will need a bath/wipe down. I
do see light soil from handling/clothes/age. Mild greenish spot on
back of right calf. Mild/pale orange line spot on front of left thigh. I
believe these will wash up pretty well. Dress is a vintage piece. Darts
need to be resewn. There are some faint peachy spots on the front
below the waist. A few pin holes from where I believe it was sewn to
it's original card. I believe this dress has fantastic potential. Not
mint but not a dishrag either! Email for more details!! $100

TNT Julia in Tangerine Scene Bodysuit
Good/Fair & Excellent Conditions
Ok, Julia is a great display doll. She does have a few flaws. The right
leg has a hole in the knee (still bends nicely though!) and she's got
some nipped toes on that same right foot. She does have some pin
pricks on both legs, feet & ankles. There is a grazed/rough edge on
the outer left foot but the toes are all there. So yes, these legs are
not mint but they do not have sprung hips & both knees click and
hold 2 positions each. So they technically could be a lot worse. She
would be wonderful to display with either a long dress or a
pants/tights set with boots. The rest of her is pretty good. The head
is nice. She's got full oxidized red hair. Facepaint is nice. The lips are
a little rubbed on the bottom lip but not bad. There are no green
ears or earring holes. I did find 1 pin prick on the lower right cheek &
a few tiny slice/slight bite marks (I'll add a close up shortly!) and I
know that sounds really bad but she will look nice on your shelf.
The eyelashes are there but some need to be pulled out a little. They
do lean downward a little bit. No missing plugs! All fingers are fine.
Some scuffs on the torso but no holes. No ink stains on the doll.
Tangerine Scene bodysuit is very nice. Bright orange color. 1 little
spot on the back of the left elbow but nothing major. One pin hole
on the top in back by the snap closure. As if someone pinned it to
something once. Other than the elastic being stretched it looks very
nice on dipslay. Sorry I don't have a skirt handy to complete it. No
Julia's not mint but she has a lot of potential. And she will display
nicely until you can give her better legs! (I can provide any close up
pics you need upon request!) $29

Brunette Bubble in Studio Tour
Fair Condition (needs love)
Her head has the ability to be a gorgeous display. I am not however,
knowledgable in the art of "nips" & cuts. Poor baby has a tiny cut in
her chin and then a not as noticeable slice on the right side of her
nose. The nose is all there! So that's good. Looks like someone
snagged it with a fingernail but it's all there. The chin spot needs to
be filled if that's possible. It's not huge though, so she won't look
terrible as she is. The rest of her head and face is beautiful. She did
have a minor retouch to her bottom lip. They got the lip color right
but not the shape. The eyelash ridges will need a retouch but that's
easy. The hair is all nice and full! There are no pin pricks on her face
and the ears are not green! There is a brown looking dot in the
center of the right ear and no discoloration in the left. The neck is
not split. I saw a microscopic trace of a crack on an inner lip of the
head but as long as you don't yank the head off hard, it won't be a
problem. Her body is marked Midge Barbie Pats Pend 1958 by
Mattel Inc. Patented. I can't read what the number was on the other
side. Her legs are fine. Stance is not wide. They are not swingy. A
pinch of reddish staining by the outer edges of the toes but that's
very minimal. A little bit of a crusty residue on the bottom of the
right foot. Kinda looks like old glue or some plastic stuck to her. It'll
come off though. Her hands are basically, gone. Only finger left is
the left thumb. Poor kid! They have to be replaced. But if you need a
body for legs, this is perfect. There are some pricks around her neck.
Scuffs & scratches on the torso. No holes though. No big or obvious
ink stains. I have not washed her. Not filthy, but the typical
handling/storage soil. The Studio Tour dress is played with. No holes
or blown seams but it's dingy. Zipper works great, so you might want
it just for a donor! Not a mint doll but can be wonderful in the right
hands or a OOAK! SOLD

Fashion Queen in Cruise Stripes #918
Good Condition
All this little girl needs is a pinky & some retouches to her paint.
Nice face. No green ear. Needs just a tiny bit of a retouch to her lips.
Very little though. Some retouching needed for her hair but not bad.
No neck splits or pin pricks. Her legs look very nice. Good straight
stance. No missing toes. Some nail polish still present. She is marked
Midge Barbie 1958 by Mattel Inc Patented and if I can read it right,
the number is a 7 on the other cheek. There is a tiny speck of a scuff
on the number. A few light scratches on the torso from play but
nothing horrible. A tiny speck of an ink dot on the right breast. If it
weren't for that missing pinky, the body would be great. The nail
polish on the fingers is pretty good too. Arms are minorly swingy
but not super bad. The dress is very solid. Only 1 or 2 loops of thread
loose on the right dart of the bodice just under the ribs. The only
real flaw as so many have is that the bodice should be a lot brighter.
But the rest is great. Zipper works nicely. So she's a very nice display.
With a new arm, she'll great! $27

Fashion Queen in Orange Blossom #987
Very Good Condition
This doll only needs a little bit of some pale ink like discoloration
marks removed. The color on them is very thin and she will display
nicely as is. But I know there are people out there who can remove
those stains with very little effort. Barbie is marked Midge Barbie
1958 by Mattel Inc .Patented on the rear and a #13 on the other side.
She is missing only the very tips of the middle & ring fingers on the
left hand. Just the nail part. Otherwise all fingers and hands are
good. But she will display fine with those two tips being nipped off.
The feet have all the toes. A tiny dent in the top of the right foot but
not bad. Her stance is not wide. The arms are not swingy. I have not
washed the doll and she will need some cleaning. Not filthy but a
few sporadic spots (the ink type that I mentioned at the beginning)
from storage and handling. Her face will need a little retouching to
the paint but nothing too difficult. Her hair has some rubs on it's
paint but that's easy to do. No green ear or treatment of old green
stains. I did not remove the head but I see no traces of neck splits. I
did see a light scratch line on the lower right of her face. Doesn't
show up easily unless you look in bright light (and this is me getting
incredibly picky). No pin pricks,nips or chews on her face. So she
will make a great display doll with only a little attention. Her dress
is very nice. Solid seams with no tears. Has some fine storage lint on
it, but nothing major. Zipper works great! Looks pretty clean with
no serious handling. The white overdress is pretty good. Can use a
little oxyclean but these are sooo easy to wash and you won't hurt
them. I did find one tiny hole in the front center of the waist but
with the netting behind it, it doesn't show up obviously. There is
some separation to that netting in the back. Not horrible but a
couple places. I also found a few less obvious holes around the left
side leaning more toward the back in the folds. They don't look bad,
just need to be mentioned. It does display fine. Just handle it gently
& you'll be ok. Snap closure in secure. Good display doll as is, but
with a little attention, will be a great display doll! $30

American Girl in Suburban Shopper
Excellent/Near Mint Condition
Gorgeous head! The only issue the head has is that she is very tan. If
you don't mind her coloring you'll love her. The hair has some fly
aways but it's full, clean & beautiful. Barbie's face paint is very nice.
Her lips are a buttery yellow. But with the tan and the hair color, it's
really cool! Her eyelashes ridges have only minimal rubbing. No
neck splits, green stains. On the left ear there is a super faint brown
tinge (incredibly hard to make out) at the center of that earring
hole. She did not match the coloring of her true body so she was
given to me on a Malibu Barbie body. The body looks excellent.
Nice legs, arms, feet & hands. Both knees click & hold 2 positions
each. No cuts,pin pricks, ink stains or chews. It is a Korea body.
Barbie will arrive to you wearing the Suburban Shopper dress. It is in
excellent condition. Only minimal handling. No holes, stains or
blown seams. It is the vintage tagged version and not a repro. Zipper
is in excellent working order. So if you don't mind a girl who spent a
little too much time at the beach, she'll be a wonderful American
Girl for you. Sorry I don't have her correct body! currently on ebay

Titian Sidepart Bubble Cut Barbie
Excellent with Major Problem
Well, this is an official "Heartbreak Hotel" case! Couldn't ask for
more beautiful hair and a great face. But that beautiful face is
destroyed by green ears. I'm sure she's been treated in the past. With
what, I don't know. But if you have the ability to at least lessen the
damage or cure it, you have will a wonderful and oh so hard to get
titian sidepart in your collection. Her complexion is a little bit on
the tan side but that seems to be pretty common. Her eyebrows are
nice, lips have a trace of red in them but not much. The eyes are very
nice. Lips are full but a buttery yellow. The rest of her is very nice.
Her body is marked Midge Barbie 1958 by Mattel Inc. Patented and a
number 17 on the other side. Great legs with no problems. Some of
her original nail polish is there too. Good straight stance. A couple
light ding/scratch marks on the torso but not horrible. Someone was
a pinch rough on that rough hand. Just a little bit of that right
thumb is nipped off. The index, ring & middle fingers on that hand
are not nipped but just slightly rough underneath. The arms are not
swingy. I suppose this doll could display with a scarf on or just find a
way to get creative. Kills me that this darling has the green ear but I
hope someone out there can give her new life and make a fantastic
display with her! currently on ebay!

Fashion Queen Barbie in Red Pak Playsuit
Fair/Good Condition
This girl has a good head and face. She does have some issues. She is
missing some fingers on both hands and one foot has a very dark
discoloration on it. First hear face. Good face paint. No green ears or
treatments in the past. No neck splits or nips. Her hair will need
some retouching but that's easy. Index finger on right hand is gone
and pinky on the left hand is gone. The right leg is fine with no
problems. And the left is the one with the discoloration at the toes. I
know there are some treatment methods that should be able to
remove the discolation and that would at least give her some good
legs. Or just display her with boots on or a closed to shoe and she's
look fine as she is. The main thing is getting new arms on her. Her
play suit is pretty good but there is the one dart seam on the right
side of the waist that is loose. Otherwise, it has only storage and
handling time. No other holes. Snap closure on top in the back
needs one side resewn but it is attached to the other half. The
bottom snap closure is secure. With some new arms, she'll be a great
display doll! $14
