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DOLLS WERE ORIGINALLY MADE WITH CLOTH & EVENTUALLY WOOD SHAVINGS MIXED WITH GLUE OR  "COMPOSITION" . NEXT CAME HARD PLASTIC
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.  DOLLIKINS ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THE VINYL HEAD & THE HARD PLASTIC BODY SO NO CRACKS!
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 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.
THERE IS NO ELASTIC UNLESS SOMEONE HAD TO DO A REPAIR.
IN ADDITION THEY HAVE TWIST WRISTS SO THEY ARE SO VERSATILE  POSING THEM AS I HAVE DONE FOR YOU IN MY PICS.
ALL OF THE DOLLS WERE MADE WITH THEIR RIGHT HAND IN THE SYMBOL FOR "
I LOVE YOU
" IN SIGN LANGUAGE♥
ALL HAVE DIMPLES AT EACH EYE AS WELL♥
SINCE ALL OF THESE DOLLS HAVE A NURSER MOUTH ( WITH APPROPRIATE EXIT) & METAL JOINTS EACH DOLL WILL VARY AS TO HOW THE JOINTS PERFORM WITH METAL THAT CAN RUST OVER TIME IF THEY WERE EXPOSED TO WATER OR ALOT OF BATHING. EVEN A HUMIDITY CAN PLAY A ROLE SO IT IS REALLY A TREAT TO HAVE THESE DOLLS WORKING AS THEY DO
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♥
