Original Listing Description

eBay This listing is for one Titian (Redhead) TNT Barbie. Barbie's accessories are all original to her and include the 3-piece orange hair ribbonOriginal boxOriginal wrist tagOriginal bookletOriginal x-standOriginal oval stickerThis doll is super clean and still has that "new vinyl" smell. She shows no evidence of play wear. I purchased her from her original owner, who stated the doll was opened upon purchase and then stored away in a closet. Since I have owned her, she has been stored in a climate controlled environment, and I have only handled her to take pictures for this listing. Barbie's hair was Light Brown when she left the factory (per the hair color label on the top of her box). Her hair is now a deep titian red. Her hair is glossy and very thick, and her bangs lay nicely on her forehead with a gentle swoop toward Barbie's right. In picture 2, she is shown next to a Standard Barbie that has light brown hair. The doll for sale in this listing is on the left in the picture. The brown haired doll (on the right in picture 2) is shown for color comparison only and is not included in this sale.Barbie does not have a hair string or hair cello covering her hair. She does have her original orange hair ribbon which remains factory tied.Barbie's makeup is beautiful. There are no rubs to eyes or lipstick. Nice blush on both cheeks. Eyelashes are long and straight. She does not have any white dots (plasticizer residue) on her face. She does not have any pale spots on her face.No green ears (pictures 8 & 9). No green discoloration or dark marks that I can see. No neck splits. No nose nips. No missing arms, legs, fingers or toes. Both arms are pale, but they are not sticky. Barbie still has bright orange polish on all of her fingers and toes. Both knees bend, click hard like new, and hold all three backward positions. Pictures 15 and 16 show Barbie's knees bent into the second and third positions. No chew marks or pin pricks on feet or ankles.Barbie's original swimsuit has never been taken off of her. I did not remove the swimsuit for pictures because I was afraid I might break one of the straps or tear the wrist tag in the process. There is no raveling of the orange trim on the cover-up. No holes, no stains, no split seams on the cover up Barbie s box is in excellent condition as well. There is minimal edge wear along the front edges, but there are no major dents or major areas of paper loss. As mentioned above, the original "Lt. Brown" hair color label is still affixed to the top of the box (picture 20). In addition, some time ago I added a vintage "Titian" hair color label on the bottom of her box (picture 21). The "Titian" label is a genuine Mattel label, and it came off of a Titian TNT Skipper box.Barbie's original wrist tag is intact. It is smooth on both sides, and there is no tape on it. There are no cracks or chips on the x-stand. The booklet is NRFB. The oval sticker has some light soil along the edges, and there is a very short crease/tear to the right of the "e" in "Barbie" (picture 22). Even with these minor imperfections, the sticker is in good condition overall considering it is 50+ years old.After taking Barbie's pictures, I put her back in her box and applied a new covering of shrink wrap to protect her and her box. The last two pictures show how she looks now ... resealed in her original box.Wow ... a redhead TNT complete in her original box. She rocks.Questions welcome.No returns. No international shipping.Barbie will be shipped via priority mail with full insurance. She will be double boxed to ensure safe shipping.Thank you for taking the time to read the entire description.
