VTG UNEEDA BABY DOLLIKIN PLAYPAL DOLL "ANNA"

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DOLLS WERE ORIGINALLY MADE WITH CLOTH & EVENTUALLY WOOD SHAVINGS MIXED WITH GLUE CALLED   "COMPOSITION" .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 ♥
MEET ANNA♥
SHE IS ANOTHER CUTIE AS ALL OF THESE RARE BABY DOLLIKIN DOLLS ARE ♥
SHE HAD PLATINUM TO WHITE PIXIE HAIR BUT IT WAS CUT SO BAD THAT I FELT I WOULD JUST CUT IT ALL OFF & EITHER REROOT HER OR WIG HER.
WHEN I SAW THIS WIG I SAID THATS IT! IT LOOKS ADORABLE ON HER & IS BRAND NEW SO I WILL LEAVE THE TAG ON IT HIDDEN SO THAT IF YOU DECIDED TO CHANGE HER YOU CAN SELL IT EASILY. IF I HAVE A BOX FOR IT I WILL SEND THAT AS WELL.
ANNA HAS BIG BLUE SLEEPER EYES THAT WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND  ALL LASHES INTACT
SHE HAS HER ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT WITH CHEEKS IN A LIGHT CORAL & LIPS AS WELL
HER BODY IS IN EXCELLANT CONDITION CONSIDERING HER AGE WITH ONLY A BIG WAVE ON HER BACK AS I MENTIONED HOW THEY ARE MADE & I FELT A SCRAPE ON HER BUTT. SUPER MINOR!
ALL HER JOINTS WORK GREAT!
I HAVE PUT HER IN THE MOST ADORABLE VINTAGE DRESS I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!
IT IS PINK GINGHAM WITH FAUX BIB BODICE THAT CREATES FLUTTER SLEEVES
THERE IS TEENY TINY FLOWERS AGAINST A WHITE BACKGROUND THAT WAS USED TO CREATE THE SLEEVES & COLLAR
BOTH THE COLLAR & THE BIB ARE EDGED IN LACE
ALSO THERE IS A BABY BLUE PIPING IN THE BODICE THAT WAS ALSO USED ON THE HEMLINE OF THE DRESS
THERE ARE ADORABLE EMBROIDERED FLOWERS IN PINK, BLUE & YELLOW WITH GREEN LEAVES
I FOUND MATCHING BABY COTTON SOCKS THAT MATCH THE FLOWERS! LOOKS SO MATCHY MATCHY♥
