Meet the Doll: Barbie Basic Coll. 003. Model 05 2012

Here is my third Barbie Basic (for now) Taryn.

I think of her as a modern Kira/Miko.

If you have been following my blog, you know I have been

freeing all my dolls from the confines of their boxes.  And I

am so glad that I decided to do it.  Some of these dolls

have some "issues" from being boxed for so long.  Here

is Taryn out of the box:

Her bathing suit stuck to her and left residue behind.  

It was easy to clean in this case but on some dolls

that have been boxed for 20, 30 or more years the

issues can be more severe.

So I say debox those ladies (and gents).

Besides taking them out of the box to play is so much

fun!
