Next is Malibu Barbie: Her face make-up looks great, she even has some blush! No earring holes, green stains, fade spots, or neck tears. Her hair is pretty nice and shiny, but she does have a few broken off hairs along her part.
You would have to look really closely to spot this. She wears her original aqua swimsuit, which is in Excellent shape. There is a little stitching coming undone around the legs openings. Her Japan marked body is Excellent+, with no stains or poke marks. In the center of the group is Malibu Ken.His face paint and hair look good; he doesn't have any wear on his painted hair! His body is marked Hong Kong, and is Excellent condition. He doesn't have any poke marks, and his joints are tight.
He has a small mark 1/4" long on the left side of his "six-pack which looks like a melt mark, from being stored against plastic in the doll case for years. He also has 3 small circles of melt marks in the middle of his back from the same chemical reaction from plastic.
These marks are slightly different shades of tan, with the biggest one being 1/4 long. None of these melt marks are very noticeable, but they are there. Ken wears his original red swim trunks, which have a small bit of stitching coming undone at the back waist elastic. On the right is a Excellent+ Malibu Francie; she's always up for beach volleyball! She has perfect face make-up with some blush, no earring holes, green stains or neck tears.She has lots of glossy blonde hair. She has some hair breakage along her part, and a few short hairs at her front hairline.
These short hairs do comb under the longer ones, so they're not obvious. Her Japan marked body is Near Mint with no poke marks or stains. Last, but not least is a really pretty Near Mint Skipper.She has super-long shiny blonde hair, and still has her lavender goggle sunglasses sewn on! Her face paint is perfect with no fade spots.
Her Korea marked body is in Near Mint shape, with no stains or poke marks. Her original 2 piece swimsuit needs new waist elastic in the bottoms, and has a couple snags on the butt area. The beach towels are in great shape; the only issues I notice are a tiny hole (1/8 around) in P. S light green towel, Ken's turquoise towel has a small bit of faint discoloration (toward the top of the towel in the pic). These pretty Malibu dolls are ready to live the dream in your Barbie display!
