This is vintage Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie 1st edition, loose doll c. 1980s. Doll
is a played with vintage toy which has been cleaned and refurbished. Beware of the new Bridge Direct dolls that sellers are mistakenly passing off as the originals. This is an original AGC doll. This doll is dressed in the correct outfit, shoes and hat. This is the flat hand first edition version of this doll which did not come with pet. I am
obsessed with these dolls from my childhood. I buy and resell them in order to
save these dolls for future generations. There are just no contemporary dolls
that compare! Most of the dolls that I buy need TLC. I clean them, wash the
clothes, shoes and pets. I check for VD spots and try to put each doll back
closest to original specs whenever I can. Please expect some amount of wear.
With that said, I spend a lot of time cleaning dolls and clothes to put sets
back together. I throw out anything that has vinyl deterioration on the faces.
I do not always throw out a body or head that has a contained spot in a hidden
area (legs, under the hair, feet). The vinyl deterioration is not contagious
and will not spread as long as the dolls are stored properly- ventilated when
in high humidity environments or stored with desiccant. I throw out clothes
that are really stained or ripped. Each doll may have minor variations, color
discolorations, marks or factory production defects that I cannot control. If
the doll is listed then I feel that it is a good loose specimen, appropriate
for any collection or for play. Dirty lots of dolls, clothes, pets and shoes
are now selling for outrageous prices, therefore my prices have gone up to
cover my costs and make a small profit. It is not fun to open your newly
purchased doll and have an hour of cleaning to do! If you buy an uncleaned doll, you will recognize
the difference.
Realistic Customer Expectations= Customer Satisfaction...
I am a junk dealer, not a chain retailer. Most of the items that I sell are
vintage, used and loved- they are RARELY going to be perfect. You may consider
something a problem that I have not even considered as a defect. So, please ask
all pertinent questions prior to buying, read ALL of the descriptions and
conditions and be sure to look at all of the photos. I strive to take high
quality pictures from all sides of the item which is the BEST description of
any item and I do my best to highlight any notable defects. If you are
dissatisfied for any reason, feel free to let me know and I will see what I can
do for you, but I will not give partial refunds, so please do not even ask.
