Lot # : 117 - #6 UPDO TITIAN PT DB IN JAPANESE KIMONO #B901-1

117) #6 UPDO TITIAN PT DRESSED BOX IN JAPANESE KIMONO #B901-1 • This is such a fascinating item! • This pink silhouette dressed box doll comes in a rarely seen “tall” box. Box bottom is taller than what we normally see, and it could have been to compensate for this specially dressed kimono Barbie • Pristine hair is factory mint in a very HTF factory updo with white pearl pin in hair. There is not a hair out of place! • All original mint face paint has very soft coloring with peach lips and tan brows. Under the loop I saw a minuscule freckle in the vinyl on her cheek. I feel it is factory, as she is an unplayed with mint doll. I have seen this before; it happens when the vinyl is settling coming from head mold. Freckle does not penetrate vinyl • No earring holes at ears • Nice light face vinyl • Body appears excellent to near mint • Japanese exclusive kimono is a crisp silver chevron brocade with an ivory patina and is exceptionally nice and bright. It is clear this kimono has never been off the doll as it is so perfect, I did my best to describe this without disturbing kimono • Obi is in beautiful condition and includes HTF lilac lame drawstring bag and black OT heels • The Japanese kimono was produced with variations in the silk crepe lining and neck scarves. This has a lilac crepe lining to the skirt and sleeves and is a beautiful compliment to her purse • Pink silhouette box lid is missing one end flap. I feel due to size of this unusual box bottom, the lid was fragile and end flap eventually fell off due to the size of box bottom • Box bottom is excellent plus, no splits, there is a 1 ½” tear in cardboard and has tariff sticker on inside of box • Includes 2-piece black pedestal stand and JE fashion booklet • This is such a beautiful set! • Suggested $1295-$1895
