VTG UNEEDA BABY DOLLIKIN PLAYPAL DOLL #5 AMELIA

Description

THIS IS A BABY DOLLIKIN MADE BY UNEEDA ABOUT  1958/59
IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE DOLLS  HERE IS A BIT OF BACKGROUND:
ALL OF THESE DOLLS WERE MADE BY UNEEDA AROUND 1958/59  & CALLED " BABY DOLLIKIN"
THEY ARE A TRANSITIONAL DOLL IN THAT THE BODY IS A HARD PLASTIC AND HER HEAD IS A SOFT VINYL.
DOLLS WERE ORIGINALLY MADE WITH CLOTH & EVENTUALLY WOOD SHAVINGS MIXED WITH GLUE CALLED   "COMPOSITION" .
NEXT CAME HARD PLASTIC DOLLS BUT WITH HARD PLASTIC WIGS WOULD NEED TO BE GLUED ON UNTIL VINYL CAME ALONG AND SOMEONE CREATED A MACHINE TO MAKE THE HOLES (PLUGS) IN THE HEAD TO THEN ADD HAIR.
THE BODY IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER PLASTIC & SO YOU MIGHT SEE A RIPPLE OR WAVE BUT IT IS NORMAL & DIFFERS FROM DOLL TO DOLL.
THESE DOLLS ARE ALSO  MULTI JOINTED, QUITE UNIQUE FOR THE ERA.
THEY HAVE METAL SPRINGS IN THE HEAD, ARMS & LEGS BUT A METAL BRACING SYSTEM AT THE ELBOW & KNEE
IN ADDITION THEY HAVE TWIST WRISTS SO THEY ARE SO VERSATILE  POSING THEM AS I HAVE DONE FOR YOU IN MY PICS.
THIS IS A UNIQUE DOLL IN THAT HER RIGHT HAND IS THE SYMBOL FOR "I LOVE YOU"  IN SIGN LANGUAGE!
SINCE ALL OF THESE DOLLS HAVE A SPRING COIL IN EACH OPENING RATHER THAN ELASTIC & WERE NURSER DOLLS (WITH THE APPROPRIATE EXIT)  DETERMINES IF ANY OF THE METAL RUSTED & HOW THE COIL DID OVER TIME  WILL DETERMINE IF A JOINT IS A BIT HARDER TO PULL TO POSE THE WAY YOU WANT IT.   THERE IS NO ELASTIC UNLESS SOMEONE CHANGED THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE
JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND HOW THESE WORK BUT NO WORRIES AMELIA IS FINE♥
THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE 5TH DOLL OR THE LAST ONE ON THE RIGHT I CALL AMELIA
SHE IS ANOTHER CUTIE AS ALL OF THESE RARE BABY DOLLIKIN DOLLS ARE ♥
SHE HAS PLATINUM TO WHITE PIXIE HAIR THAT LOOKS TO BE CUT A BIT SINCE THE BACK IS SO STRAIGHT ACROSS:) BUT I HAVE FOUND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD A CHOP HERE OR THERE
BIG BLUE SLEEPER EYES THAT WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND  ALL LASHES INTACT
I DO THINK SOMEONE CLEANED HER FACE A BIT TOO MUCH SINCE SHE HAS A LIGHTER COLORING AND UNDER THE SIDES OF HER HAIR IT IS A TAD PINKER BUT SHE STILL HAS HER ORIGINAL FACTORY CHEEK COLOR & CORAL LIP COLOR SO JUST A BIT WHITER THAN OTHER BABY DOLLIKINS.
ALSO SOMEONE PIERCED HER EARS WITH CUTE LITTLE YELLOW DIAMOND EARRINGS SO YOU WILL GET THE JEWELS :)))
HER BODY IS IN EXCELLANT CONDITION CONSIDERING HER AGE WITH ONLY HER RIGHT KNEE NEEDING A LIGHT TUG TO STRAIGHTEN
BUT ALL  IN ALL JOINTS WORK REALLY WELL
I HAVE PUT HER IN A VINTAGE PINK SMOCKED DRESS . THE BODICE WAS SMOCKED WITH BABY BLUE THREADS AND PINK FOR FLOWERS
THE COLLAR IS TRIMMED IN LACE
I FOUND A PAIR OF VINTAGE BOOTIES FOR HER THAT HAD A SIMILAR LACE SO SHE LIKED THEM & WILL COME WITH THEM:)
I AM MOVING SO ALL MUST GO!
I HAVE MANY DOLLS FOR SALE WITH MORE TO COME SO BE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT.
AUCTION FOR DOLL ONLY NO PROPS ( WELL SOME ARE VIRTUAL LOL)
NO SMOKE, PET, OR VIRUS HOME♥
