So rare and so exquisite is this Fabulous MIDNIGHT JAPANESE SIDE PART AMERICAN GIRL Barbie from 1966. There is plenty of body and plenty of curl in this girl's hair! Her hair has her original green/turquoise ribbon headband in place above the bangs. Also, the string that originally held the style in place is loose but still intact (see picture) around her head. She has her original rosy red lips and nose dots, as well as rosy blush on her cheeks.
To say she is "to die for" is an understatement. There is a tiny bit of paling on the tip of her nose as is common with the pink skin dolls, not visible until I used the magnifier. There looks to be a tiny spot on her nose in a couple of the pictures but it must have been a bit of lint or dirt; it is no longer there. The Japanese (sometimes called Japanese Exclusive) sideparts have pink skin, straight leg bodies like the Standard Barbies but with toe nail paint in addition to finger paint.This doll will come wearing her American Girl swimsuit and turquoise open-toed heels.
