This is a great vintage Twirly Curls Barbie 1982. No, 5723, NRFB. \"Style her hair in fabulous twists n twirls\" This is the Black / African American version of this doll. Comes with barrettes, twirler, chair, ribbons.Sealed in the box, top and bottom panels are still glued down. Shows some wear, including price tags and residue from a second one, some creasing and edge wear along sides and corners. Some light wear on the top and bottom panels. The plastic window has started to yellow slightly and is a little brittle. There\'s one crack in it on the side panel, with another dent just above it. (In the pic of the side panel, look just around her waist, you can kind of see it) Not bad, but you can tell it\'s more than 30 years old. Check out the pictures.
I\'m making this sound worse than it is for the collector who is going to pick it up and nitpick over every flaw, but, this is really a nice example. You can tell it\'s not new and pristine, but I think most collectors would be quite happy with it, especially since the glue is tight on both ends.A great vintage item to add to your collection.

The fine print*I am a collector and reseller trying to make a few extra bucks. I am not a professional retailer and don\'t have time/resources available that they may. I\'m not perfect but if there are problems, I try to work with my customers to make things right. I\'ve been on almost since the beginning and have had few really unhappy situations. Check out my response!* I ascribe to a philosophy that I don\'t ship dirt. If I find items to be grimy when I get them, I clean them with at least a damp cloth and sometimes a stronger doll/toy cleaner. You may still find some dust in a crack or crevice, but you won\'t wrinkle your nose when you open the box.*I welcome international buyers, but shipping may take a few days longer.

*International buyers, I try to ship first class when possible to save you money. However, please be aware that first class shipping does not include tracking. I am always willing to ship priority mail, but please communicate if you have specific shipping needs. Also, I ship international items as merchandise, not gifts. I have seen a recent increase in Value Added Taxes being applied to items going to the UK.* Please note, I ship primarily on Mondays and Tuesdays, so please keep this in mind when making prompt payments. During this snowy season, I\'m unlikely to go out/make an extra stop if roads are at all slippery, so that could delay things further. * Insurance or delivery confirmation is included in the price of shipping (which one is based upon the value of the item). The delivery confirmation number is available on the sales record once shipped.* I am always happy to combine shipping based on the smallest available box and weight for both lots.

* If I am far off the price of shipping($3-5+), I usually make an effort to refund the difference. I don\'t believe in making my money off shipping costs, though sometimes there\'s a little extra leftover to cover shipping materials.*I will always go back and leave positive response unless I have a problematic customer. However, I often do wait to leave response in batches and prefer to wait until I\'m sure the customer is satisfied or a reasonable amount of time has passed to ensure they aren\'t unhappy, usually about 3-4 weeks.
