Description: Vintage Mattel Best Friend Cynthia 19 Inch Talking Doll w/ Record - 1971 Set includes doll, dress, undies and one record. Stand not included. I attempted to test the talking mechanism, but unfortunately my only D battery is on the older side and not fully charged. So, the motor runs and I can hear talking but it's slower and lower than it should be. So I cannot say for certain whether she is in total working order or not. However, she is super cute even if mute. **Please be aware, the record is tricky to remove once you put it all the way in. I got it out by tilting her on her side and lightly tapping on the back button, which released the record partway. If a battery is installed, inserting the record partway turns on the motor and then you can lightly push the record in the rest of the way. Gentle handling is advised.** Condition is nice, vintage pre-owned. Her dress is wrinkled and has a couple spots of discoloration - yellowed area on shoulder and white spot near floral trim on back. I have not attempted to clean or iron out the wrinkles. Top snap is starting to come loose. Her undies are cute, but the waistband is a bit loose. She is missing her shoes. She does have what seems to be typical uneven fading of the color on her legs. Left leg is a little bit lighter color than the right. One leg has somewhat rough surface and light discoloration on front of calf. There are light stains on backs of calves. There is a light scuff on her forehead. This doll is not perfect, but for her age she seems to have held up rather nicely. Her hair is nice and shiny, and appears to have all her hair plugs.Please see all photos for details of her condition. *All of my merchandise is stored in a pet-free area of my smoke-free home. I do, however, have cats and cannot guarantee that a stray hair will not make its way into a package.
