Original Listing Description

Please be sure to read the full auction description! Please note the green striped dress seen in some photos is not included with this sale**Up for grabs today is a wonderful opportunity to own this stunning color magic - black cherry, TNT Barbie! This gal absolutely cream of the crop, she is truly a very nice doll. She is appears only gently used, and has one of the most breathtaking and stunning faces I have ever seen for vintage Barbie!Barbie here has giant bright pink lips, glowing pink cheeks, stunning blue eyes, and dark full eyebrows. She has very long, dark dramatic lashes that compliment her bright makeup beautifully. Her hair is a gorgeous shade of purple eggplant. It has a lot of red, purple, and silver tones to it, while some deep under-sides of her hair hidden from light and air (oxidation) retain that rich, midnight black original color. She has wonderful soft smooth bangs, they are very glossy and fun to brush!! Her hair density is on the thicker side of the spectrum, which is highly uncommon for the delicate/coarse color magic hair fiber Barbie dolls. I thoroughly scanned her scalp and did not find a single empty hair plug. Her hair is full length as well, as it extends down her back, and a bit past her waist, forming a pointed tip as intended. Most TNTs had their long hair cut flat and leveled off when kids had scissors, but this gal’s hair has survived. Barbie’s body is good overall, and nice for display. It does not seem to have been used or played with very much as each limb is very tight. She has no swingy arms, legs, or waist. All 10 fingers and 10 tiny toes. Both knees bend click firmly three times each, and every limb hold every pose firmly with no swingy-ness or loose. She does have some pale pink polish remaining on her fingers and toes. She has no ankle taps or bites, which is almost unheard of for vintage Barbie!! She does have a couple minor signs of age and wear, such as a few earring holes per ear, a faint pale dot on her right cheek, and some discolorations on her legs and hips. Although these are faint and are hidden by any outfit. The pale dot on her left cheek is more noticeable in the photos than it is in person. If you do not wish to have the outfit and her original hair bow, please feel free to offer your best price for the doll, and receive the doll nude. This vintage clone ensemble is nothing short of showstopping!! It is crafted of a glowing red cotton velvet and real fur, and is in overall displayable, nice vintage condition. Original snap present, complete and working! The stitching is strong on the hat and coat with no rips or tears. Fur trim is genuine and delicate. Tagged with paper label inside.
