Vintage Fisher Price #218 My Friend Becky
New in Box (E)
Here is a freckled face lassie to brighten up your day. With luxurious thick auburn hair and a scattering of freckles across her nose, Becky is sure to win your heart.
In the late 1970's to early 80's, Fisher Price introduced a series of soft bodied dolls with vinyl limbs, lush, brushable hair, vinyl faces, and easily removable clothes and accessories. The series, called My Friend dolls, featured several female dolls: Mandy, Nicky, Jenny, and Becky. This particular Fisher Price My Friend #218 BECKY doll is BRAND NEW! She is still secured to her original box via plastic ties and a cellophane strip around her head. Since Becky was only produced for only two years (1982-84), she is highly desirable to collectors.
Through ingenuous engineering, Becky can be posed either in a standing or sitting position. Her soft body invites plenty of cuddling and her facial features (e.g. blue eyes, coral colored lips, soft blushing cheeks, upturned smile and nose with no nostrils, a smattering of freckles, and dimples) are heartwarming to say the least. Her long, brushable auburn hair is below shoulder length and may be styled in a variety of ways. Obviously, since she has never been removed from her box, it goes without saying that all of her hair plugs are intact and her hair has not been trimmed. This particular offering does include an original Fisher Price instruction booklet on the care and maintenance of these My Friend dolls. Becky can be washed in the clothes washer and tumble dried in the dryer. In addition, her hair can be shampooed and styled.
I've tried to include a variety of photos to illustrate how remarkable Becky really is. Her yellow/white flowered cloth body is spotless. The original Fisher Price tag is still present. Her vinyl body is free of any marks, stains, scratches etc. All of her original clothes are included. Becky's outfit consists of an aqua colored dress with a white apron with pink rosebuds (not removable), white shoes, and a white straw hat with light green ribbon. The original Becky did NOT come with any tights. These could be purchased separately in other clothing add-on accessory packs offered by Fisher Price. Her dress features velcro closures so she is easy to dress and undress.
Her original box demonstrates some shelf wear, some original price stickers and tape, creases, rubs, some wear along the seams, a 1" tear on the front, right hand side, loose cellophane on the right side, and some pronounced fading on the top of the box. The latter appears to have been caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being PERFECT, I'd give this box a rating of 7.0.
Becky is ready to travel to her new home. She weighs approximately 2 lbs. UNWRAPPED and my location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
Due to the weight of this item, I'll probably be sending her via Priority Mail.
I'm happy to ship to Canada using the USPS. For our Canadian neighbors, I will use Priority Mail International. Insurance is required for all International shipments. Canadian customers are responsible for any Custom's fees, duties, brokerage fees, or VAT's etc.
