Nice to meet you Jenny! Made in Japan 1986. Jenny was released in 1986. There was deterioration in the hair elastic, so the elastic was discarded. The plastic part of the outer box turned yellowish discoloration. There is a stain around the right wrist. The rubber that used to hold the neck in place has broken off due to deterioration.
