VTG UNEEDA BABY DOLLIKIN PLAYPAL DOLL~~ SUNSHINE

Description

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DOLLS WERE ORIGINALLY MADE WITH CLOTH & EVENTUALLY WOOD SHAVINGS MIXED WITH GLUE OR  "COMPOSITION" .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 IS THE DOLL THAT STOLE MY HEART MANY MOONS AGO!
AT FIRST I COULDNT FIGURE OUT WHAT SHE WAS BUT I BOUGHT HER & SOON DISCOVERED SHE IS A DOLLIKIN THAT SOMEONE HAD REROOTED & CHANGED HER LIPS A BIT. IT CHANGED HER INTO BEING A ONE OF A KIND CUTIE♥
THIS DOLL HAS THE DARKER BLUE ROCKER EYES WHICH ARE HARDER TO FIND &  I ONLY HAVE A FEW. SHE HAS ALL HER LASHES & HER EYES WORK AS THEY SHOULD
SHE HAD BLUSH ADDED LOOKS CUTE & NOT CLOWN LIKE JUST RIGHT AFTER DANCING :)
SHE ALSO HAD SOME ADDED CORAL LIP COLOR TO HER UPPER LIP ... U KNOW HOW THOSE GALS DO IT NOWADAYS👄 LOL WELL SHE LIKES TO TAKE SELFIES
( BOTTOM LIP TOO)
IT ISNT PERFECT BUT IT SURE CHANGES HER ENTIRE FACE.
THEY ALSO HAD PIERCED HER EARS SO I HAVE ADDED SOME CUTE FLOWER EARRINGS
HER HAIR IS A TRUE STRAWBERRY BLONDE & A NICE SOFT BABY LIKE TEXTURE. I SET IT JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT TO SHOW YOU IT HOLDS A CURL SO IF YOU LEAVE ROLLERS OVER NIGHT I AM CERTAIN SIT WILL TAKE A SUPER NICE CURL BUT I AM IN A RUSH WITH ALL I HAVE TO LIST.
HER BODY IS GREAT WITH JUST ONE DOT ON HER NECK UNDER HER HAIR. (see pic)
NECK IS A BIT LOOSER THAN SOME I THINK HER NECK COIL WAS REPLACED SO NOT THE ORIGINAL SIZE BUT DOABLE:)
HER DRESS IS JUST ADORABLE!  I DO THINK IT WAS CUSTOM MADE FOR BASED ON WHO I BOUGHT THE DOLL FROM♥
IT HAS THE PLAIN YELLOW BODICE & CUTE PINK FLORAL SKIRT. SHE ALSO HAS A HOT OIN NETTED SLIP FOR POUF
NIE WHITE SOCKS WITH PINK ROSE ADDED ON THE SIDE & HOT PINK SHOES
SHE IS 22" LONG
SHE IS MY FAV & I SURE HATE TO SEE HER LEAVE ME :(   BUT I KNOW SHE WILL BRING TONS OF JOY TO SOMEONE ELSE😘
IF SHE  DOESNT APPEAL TO YOU HAVE A LOOK AROUND I HAVE SO MANY THAT I COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS THAT I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND ONE WHO CALLS TO YOUR HEART TO GIVE HER A FOREVER HOME♥
