Not mint but nice for display. Doll has been wiped down with a damp cloth but could use a little cleaning. Head has no repaints, reroots, splits, nips, trimmed or empty plugs. Face paint is complete with lashes in both eyes. Hair appears to be in the factory set with vintage bows. Pale green spot on the back of the head as shown. Body marked Mexico with tight arms and hips (VHTF first issue with Japan arms). Legs are attached properly and pose as they should but please be aware that the joints are a fragile Mattel design flaw and should be handled carefully. No splits or pinpricks. Pull string is present but she is mute. She will come dressed in her original swimsuit in played with condition. There is no “best offer” option on this listing.
