THIS DOLL IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! She has NO GREEN, NO NOSE NIPS, VERY TIGHT LIMBS,and SHINY BEAUTIFUL HAIR! I BELIEVE SHE HAS HER ORIGINAL RUBBER-BAND HOLDING THE TOP KNOT IN HER PONYTAIL, (ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT REMOVED THE HAIR THAT IS WRAPPED AROUND THE PONYTAIL TO CHECK FOR CERTAIN IF THE RUBBER BAND WAS THE ORIGINAL RUBBER BAND, BECAUSE TRYING TO CHECK IT SOMETIMES CAUSES THE ORIGINAL RUBBERBAND TO BREAK, SO I DIDN\'T WANT TO BOTHER IT.) THE BOTTOM RUBBER BAND HOLDING THE END OF HER PONYTAIL HAS BEEN REPLACED. SHE HAS NOT SUFFERED ANY PAINT LOSS. SHE IS UNEVELY FADED. SHE HAS A FEW FACTORY MOLD MARKS AND DIMPLES on her arms and hand. SHE HOLDS A POSE VERY WELL. She still has both copper tubes in her legs, one is pushed up further in her leg than the other. She has no odors. Her right buttock is marked BarbieTM Pats Pend MCMLVIII by Mattel Inc. Her foot is marked Japan. THIS DOLL IS AMAZING AND WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION! SHE WILL COME TO YOU WITH HER ORIGINAL VINTAGE BOX MARKED T.M. AND \"BLOND\", VINTAGE BOOKLET, REPRO STAND, VINTAGE ORIGINAL SUNGLASSES, ORIGINAL SWIMSUIT, AND ORIGINAL BLACK OPEN-TOE SHOES (with holes in the bottom to accomodate her feet and stand).
