I've had this doll for many years and have never seen another one quite like her. This is probably one of three #3 Barbie dolls that I have ever seen with hand painted features. She has royal Blue eyes with deep chocolate liner which goes all around her eyes.
LOOK AT THOSE CAT EYES. Barbie also has tons of smoldering eye shadow. Doll has no damage or green ear. Paint is original (alcohol tested). Marked Barbie TM on rear and JAPAN on right foot. Smells like crayons and fading to a gorgeous pale tone as she should.Some areas are peachy and her face is quite pink. The hair has been retied (by me) and there are no hair cuts.
So she won't arrive nude I will include the swimsuit that she is wearing in the pictures. It does have a little split seam, but who cares. You're getting this AMAZING doll!
