BUSY STEFFIE

I just got a doll I have ALWAYS wanted ever since I started collecting! Busy Steffie! Totally unplayed with and MIB, even with her wrist tag...Though the box has been opened and is a bit damaged, but I got her for an absolute steal because of that and I wanted to debox her anyway! Her limbs are still OK and are still attached, but her original rubber band had melted into her hair so I carefully washed and brushed the gunk out of her hair and re-tied it with a dental band. Her hair is quite interesting, actually... I thought that the top part was all just pulled back into a ponytail at back with the longer back left loose as it is in the dealers' catalogues, but the front/top sections that are pulled back are actually shorter (a little like no-bangs Francie's) and there are two much longer sections at the sides that actually tie back to keep that top part in place. I also love that it's this rich medium-dark brown with these subtle golden highlights that shine in the light, though that could be just what happened over time, which is cool! It's such an odd box too, kinda like a reverse bubble/blister pack at the back and a box at the front! I was also surprised to find that there are THREE sets of identical stickers in the baggie with the instructions for the accessories! Is that normal? That's great as I can use one sheet and keep the others intact. Talking Busy Barbie wants her to come out of that box and play! LOL
