1959 VINTAGE BRUNETTE #1 PONYTAIL BARBIE DOLLALL ORIGINAL FACE PAINTThe Holy Grail of Barbie Collecting!INCLUDES ORIGINAL TM BOX, ZEBRA STRIPED SWIMSUIT, OPEN TOED SHOES, SUNGLASSES & BOOKLETUp for auction is a beautiful brunette #1 Ponytail Barbie doll with all original face paint. She is the holy grail of Barbie collecting. Her face paint is gorgeous! She has a few pin pricks on the side of her face, but they do not detract at all.Her ponytail has been retied and her hard curl restored. Her ponytail is thick; her bangs are a little thin but still ok. I do not see any missing plugs.Her body has faded to a very nice, pale color; not ghostly. She has no green ear, no foul odors, and the tubes in both feet are present. The tubes do not protrude like most do, so you can get her shoes on. Most tubes protrude beyond the foot which makes the shoes impossible to get on. Japan is written across the bottom of her right foot, she has a nice stance, and holds all poses well. The nail polish on her right hand is all original, the polish on her left hand has been touched up. The tips of her toes have had some repair, I'm not sure what because you cannot see any repair from the bottom. I almost did not notice that she had some repair to her toes.She will come with her original TM box which has seen better days. The top has taped ends and one side has been taped; the bottom is a reproduction. The shoes are nice, the booklet is perfect, the sunglasses have a broken arm (one is shorter than the other, but they still work fine), the swimsuit is a little loose on top. The stand is not included.She will be the star of your collection!I insure all of my items; I do not charge for the additional insurance.On Apr-19-25 at 10:48:28 PDT, seller added the following information:BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK WILL BE CANCELED.On Apr-19-25 at 10:51:53 PDT, seller added the following information:INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WILL LIKELY HAVE TO PAY CUSTOMS FEES BASED ON VALUE OF DOLL.
