Lot Essay

These dolls were gifts from Mattel to the vendor before they were launched in the stores. They were made in very small numbers for the Japanese home-market. Later Takara produced this mould under the name Jenny. This doll appears in the tenth anniversary Issue of Dolls magazine in the article Barbie, Midge and Francie go to Japan. She is illustrated on page 110.
