VTG UNEEDA BABY DOLLIKIN PLAYPAL DOLL CAROLKIN

Description

MEET CAROLKIN♥
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DOLLS WERE ORIGINALLY MADE WITH CLOTH & EVENTUALLY WOOD SHAVINGS MIXED WITH GLUE OR  "COMPOSITION" . NEXT CAME HARD PLASTIC
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.  DOLLIKINS ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THE VINYL HEAD & THE HARD PLASTIC BODY SO NO CRACKS!
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 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.
THERE IS NO ELASTIC UNLESS SOMEONE HAD TO DO A REPAIR.
IN ADDITION THEY HAVE TWIST WRISTS SO THEY ARE SO VERSATILE  POSING THEM AS I HAVE DONE FOR YOU IN MY PICS.
ALL OF THE DOLLS WERE MADE WITH THEIR RIGHT HAND IN THE SYMBOL FOR "
I LOVE YOU
" IN SIGN LANGUAGE♥
ALL HAVE DIMPLES AT EACH EYE AS WELL♥
SINCE ALL OF THESE DOLLS HAVE A NURSER MOUTH ( WITH APPROPRIATE EXIT) & METAL JOINTS EACH DOLL WILL VARY AS TO HOW THE JOINTS PERFORM WITH METAL THAT CAN RUST OVER TIME IF THEY WERE EXPOSED TO WATER OR ALOT OF BATHING. EVEN A HUMIDITY CAN PLAY A ROLE SO IT IS REALLY A TREAT TO HAVE THESE DOLLS WORKING AS THEY DO
