Vintage Original Strawberry Shortcake Orange Blossom Berrykin Doll and Critter

Description

This is vintage Strawberry Shortcake c. 1980s, Orange Blossom Berrykin with Critter.
This is an original AGC doll, not a reproduction. Reproductions are now being sold for similar prices or in some cases more than the vintage original dolls recently and I have had many people ask me about this! You can go to my Facebook page at Sassyfresh Vintage to read more about this confusing trend.
This doll is in nice condition with very bright clothes. She has no signs of VD (you can read more about this below). Her dress, tights and shoes are original, but she is wearing a CUSTOM MADE REPLACEMENT BOW. Doll is complete with critter. The critter has no noted defects. Doll is an, opened/loose vintage toy which has been cleaned and refurbished. I am obsessed with these dolls from my childhood. I buy and resell them in order to save these dolls for future generations. There are just no contemporary dolls that compare! Most of the dolls that I buy need TLC. I clean them, wash the clothes, shoes and pets. I check for VD spots and try to put each doll back closest to original specs whenever I can. Please expect some amount of wear. With that said, I spend a lot of time cleaning dolls and clothes to put sets back together. I throw out anything that has vinyl deterioration on the faces. I do not always throw out a body or head that has a contained spot in a hidden area (legs, under the hair, feet). The vinyl deterioration is not contagious and will not spread as long as the dolls are stored properly- ventilated when in high humidity environments or stored with desiccant. I throw out clothes that are really stained or ripped. Each doll may have minor variations, color discolorations, marks or factory production defects that I cannot control. If the doll is listed then I feel that it is a good loose specimen, appropriate for any collection or for play. It is not fun to open your newly purchased doll and have an hour of cleaning to do!  If you buy an uncleaned doll, you will recognize the difference. The shipping cost includes priority mail shipping with additional full coverage insurance.
Realistic Customer Expectations= Customer Satisfaction
... I am a junk dealer, not a chain retailer. Most of the items that I sell are vintage, used and loved- they are RARELY going to be perfect. You may consider something a problem that I have not even considered as a defect. So, please ask all pertinent questions prior to buying, read ALL of the descriptions and conditions and be sure to look at all of the photos. I strive to take high quality pictures from all sides of the item which is the BEST description of any item and I do my best to highlight any notable defects. If you are dissatisfied for any reason, feel free to let me know and I will see what I can do for you, but I will not give partial refunds, so please do not even ask.
