Vintage Mod 1975 SWEET 16 BARBIE #7796 + Bonus Outfit Tank Top + Accessories

Description: Wonderful version of the Barbie Sweet 16 doll to celebrate Barbie's 16th birthday back in 1975! This one came with an extra outfit at the time - a yellow Sweet 16 tank top and denim shorts. I don't have the shorts, but the tank top is here (without the Sweet 16 decal)! She's got a fascinating hairstyle. She's in her original dress and has many of her original accessories, but of course isn't perfect after almost 50 years, so please take a look at all of the photos and note the following details:Legs/arms on this doll are notoriously fragile & brittle, but my fearless husband has repaired her - replaced both hip joints and one arm joint and they are sturdy now. She had melting of her hip joints (another common problem with these dolls), and I've trimmed the melted parts off, but you'll still be able to see a little bit of it. Both hips have waviness of the vinyl...yep, probably from all of the repair work, but I'd rather have her stay intact!Knees bend as expected. She may have a spot or two on hands, torso, etc., but I don't notice anything terribly obvious. Tank top needs some stitching at bottom and is missing the Sweet 16 decalWhite Barbie compact still has some crumbles of blush in it, and its original sponge insert!Original dress is in good shape, but the white bow on the front has been replaced with a pretty, iridescent white thread.White square toe heels are marked Taiwan and Korea on the bottom. They don't love to stay on her feet, especially at the heels. One has a split, the other a little nick in it.No nose nips, neck splits, or pin pricks at ears.Hands (which are "Mexico" type hands with a delineation at the wrist) look goodFeet: one foot has a triangular cut in the vinyl. Can probably be adhered to lie down again. Smoke-free home.Let me know if you have any questions or need more photos. Check out my other vintage Barbie and friends listings, too, as I'm happy to combine shipping whenever possible. Thanks!
