Kissing Christie AA & Barbie Dolls Mattel 1978 2955/2597 w/Dresses & Shoes TLC


This auction is for two dolls: Kissing Christie (African American) and Kissing Barbie. Both are from Mattel and were produced in 1978. Backs are marked ©Mattel Inc. 1966 Taiwan. Both bend at the knees to three positions. Both have their original dress and shoes but no other accessories or stands. Both have a light musty smell, so will benefit from some fresh air.


Details:

Christie, #2955. Her body looks very good – no marks. Her hair will need some styling and has a rubber band holding some of it together in the back. Her eye and lip colors look good. The kissing button on her back makes a small sound when pressed but still works – her head tilts back. Her arm and leg joints move well and all fingers and toes accounted for. Two small bits of the knee bending mechanism are poking through on the backs of her legs. Her peach-colored dress is free of tears or stains.


Barbie, #2597. Her body looks very good – no marks, but her torso is pinker than her other parts. Her hair will need some styling and has a rubber band holding some of it together in the back. Her eye and lip colors look good. The kissing button on her back is quite stiff, but it does work. Her head tilts back slightly (not as much as Christie’s) and makes a hinging sort of sound. Her arm and leg joints move well and all fingers and toes are there. Two small bits of the knee bending mechanism are poking through on the backs of her legs. Her pink dress is free of tears or stains.
