Original Listing Description

Vintage #3 Blonde Ponytail Barbie Doll w/Original Swimsuit and Box.I am not the original owner and do not have the full history or know if she has been retouched. She's a beautiful doll in really nice condition overall. I took pictures of her in natural light, so you can get a good idea of her true color. I posted the maximum number of pictures. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or let me know if you need any more pictures. I am happy to provide them. I want you to be happy with your purchase.She is the solid body that smells like crayons. Barbie markings, including the TM marking on her butt are raised. Bottom of one foot is stamped, Japan. No green ear, nose nips, or neck splits. Eyeliner is considered brown, but faded to a pinky color. Most of her nail polish and toe polish are present. All joints are nice and can hold a pose. Head moves easily. Lips are red. All the lip color looks present. She has red dots in her nostrils. She has a small dent on the inside of her right foot (shown in close-up picture, indicated by arrow). She is in played-with condition, so there is evidence of that, including tiny spots and dings. Please use the zoom feature to see close-up.Her bangs and hair are soft. Ponytail is flat in the back, from laying down in her box. Hair could use restyling. No elastic bands in her ponytail. She is wearing her original black and white swimsuit, black open toe heels, sunglasses and comes with her original booklet and a vintage Barbie black metal stand (not her original pedestal stand). Her bathing suit is quite clean, with no rips or holes noted. It stays up well. Bottom of one heel reads, Japan. No splits noted. Sunglasses are nice. Black metal stand is nice and straight. The booklet looks like all the pages are present. Box is complete, but has wear as shown. Wear includes soiling, old tape, pin holes, splits on both side panels. I was going to tape them, but will leave that up to the discretion of the buyer. The box also has the original Bradlees price sticker.I try to point out any obvious concerns with my vintage items, but I may not always catch things you may see. That's why I take the best close-up pictures I can. Please use the zoom feature for your assessment of condition. I would appreciate you looking at the pictures carefully.
