• She comes with the elusive non-twist waist pink skin bendable leg Barbie body, a version highly prized by collectors, body is in near mint condition with nice finger polish. Both knees hold all poses and no pin pricks at ankles
• The history of these ultra-rare dolls is fascinating—pink skin American Girl Barbies were primarily found in Australia, Europe, and Japan. These dolls were produced using the same vinyl as the Twist N Turn (TNT) dolls and are known to appear on either TNT bodies or the even rarer pink-skinned bendable leg bodies, making this doll a rare and highly sought-after collector's item.
• This exquisite doll comes dressed in a near mint and complete Japanese Exclusive version of Barbie’s Tickled Pink ensemble, which sets itself apart from the U.S. version with subtle but significant differences. The most notable variation is the absence of glitter on the front panel of her gown. The stunning satin one-piece gown, complemented by delicate lace tulle at the bottom, is further enhanced by her hard-to-find satin pink underskirt, giving the outfit a refined, luxurious look. The pink feather marabou boa is full and vibrant, adding a glamorous touch to her overall look.
• Her accessories that complete the ensemble include a pearl necklace, silver pak dimpled clutch, and silver glittered open-toe heels. These silver heels are particularly notable, as they differ from the clear OT heels with gold glitter that went with the U.S. version of the Tickled Pink fashion. This distinction emphasizes the rarity of the JE version and makes this doll even more desirable for collectors.
• A fun fact about this fashion is that the U.S. version, is also often referred to as the "Sears Pink Formal," that was released in 1966 and was a popular item sold through the Sears Christmas catalog. The JE version, with its distinct touches, adds another layer of exclusivity to this already beloved outfit
• Her timeless elegance and the uncommon details of her fashion make her a must-have centerpiece in any collection. This rare beauty is sure to turn heads and be the highlight of any display
• Suggested $3995-$4295
