Original 1963 vintage Barbie’s Best Friend Midge #860 wearing a pink and red two-piece knit swimsuit. The original box, booklet, and wire pedestal are included. The white shoes which came with the original doll are missing. The doll has blue eyes, freckles, and brunette hair. She is in excellent used condition. She has straight, non-bendable legs. Her neck, hip, and shoulder joints are in very good working condition. Her manicure is very good and she does not have “green ear”. Some of the top stitching on her swimsuit is loose but repairable.

This is a new in box 1962 Midge doll (860) by Mattel. This Barbie’s best friend doll is a light redhead (titan blonde), Caucasian with blue eyes. The outfit is a yellow crop tank top and orange hot pants or underwear. Shoes and booklet are sealed in plastic. Comes with a silver metal doll stand. The head is still wrapped in plastic! However, there is a condition issue on the head where little white spots are dimpled all over, and exposed parts of body are sticky. Even though the tag has been removed, the doll does not appear to have been removed from box- though due to the style of box we obviously cannot guarantee. Please review all photos carefully for the best condition details! This doll comes from a huge family collection- last 6 photos show other Barbie & friends to be offered. Most are new and NRFB!
