TLC Bubblecut Barbie Doll Blonde Vintage Barbie Mattel Made in Japan

In this listing we have a TLC vintage Barbie doll. This doll is a vintage Bubblecut Barbie doll and was released by Mattel in the 1960s. She has the larger hair so she a newer doll. This doll has golden blonde hair, large blue side glancing eyes, and was made in Japan. She is marked with Japan in the larger font along the bottom of one foot. This doll is articulated at the neck, shoulders, and hips. My pictures came out a little saturated, the colors are a bit more muted in person.
This doll is in TLC shape. She still has some life left in her, but she does have a lot of issues. I have washed the doll, but she could use a more in depth cleaning. The head has a near tear, so I removed it from the body. The doll’s hair is in fair shape. It is a little messy and will need some styling help. I don’t think it has been cut, but there are some short strands here and there. The top layers of hair have a brassier color compared to the under sections of hair. The doll does have a bald spot at the top of the hair where the hair has parted. The doll’s face paint is in rough shape. The doll’s eyebrows are pretty much entirely missing. She has the faint outline of the left brow and the start showing on the right side. The doll’s eyes are in better shape. She is missing a lot of paint to her eyelash ridge, both on the ridge and on the top of the ridge. She has a few small chips and paint issues to both eyes, but they’re not super obvious other than when looking up close. The doll’s lips are missing. She has the tiniest spots of white lip paint, but they are pretty much all gone. The doll has a larger neck tear on the left side of the head. It looks like there was an attempted repair with some glue, but it didn’t work. There is some hard white residue around the tear. When you press the tear together it mostly lines up, but the white residue doesn’t let it close fully. The head is a little warped on that side from how it was posed on the body for a while. The head has a bunch of earring holes at each ear. They are clustered around together. They do look to have the tiniest touch of green at the ears. The doll’s body is in mostly fair shape. The doll’s torso is in good shape. It does have some scratches and scuffs to the body. Some of them are deeper and more obvious. There is some deeper ones at the front of the neck, especially where it meets the torso. There are some dark marks here and there on the torso. The doll’s arms are in TLC shape. She is missing the right pinkie finger. Both hands look slightly chewed. There’s a lot of little scratches and scuffs to both arms with some dark marks here there. Not sure what is stuck on dirt and what is stains. The doll has around 50 percent of the nail polish, the right hand is more worn compared to the left hand. The doll’s legs are in good shape. They are darker than the rest of the body. There is a fair amount of trapped dirt on them. I’m not sure how much is stuck on dirt compared to stains. There are some scratches and scuffs to the legs. Some are more obvious than others. There’s a large gouge to the side of the right foot near the ankle. There’s a lot of horizontal lines with trapped dirt in them all over the legs. The legs go slightly in at the ankles. One foot is longer than the other. It’s missing pretty much all of the nail polish on the feet The legs have a very matte finish to them, the bottoms of the feet are shinier. Please examine all pictures to see the exact condition of this doll and please keep in mind some issues are more visible in person compared to pictures.
