Also, judging from the picture from the back of the box this is a complete set with one duplicate. Box store display shown in the picture is also included. I don't know if the store display goes with this set, but it's how I found this in my mothers storage, so I'm assuming the display box is part of the set. But I am no expert on this matter.   Also note, these boxes do not have a factory seal. I doubt they have been opened. I see a dress and one pair of shoes in each box. Ken's outfit is two piece. Some of the boxes have extras in them,  some do not. View Pictures carefully. AS-IS auction.   Please view pictures carefully as Pictures are the best description of box and toy condition!  Please view pictures carefully as this is an as-is auction!    Shipping is pricy since this item weighs 4 LBS with shipping materials.       HISTORY OF THIS ITEM   You are buying from the son of the original owner. This auction item was never owned nor played with by a child. I am selling on behalf of my elderly mother who collected dolls as an adult, between the mid 1950s through the late 1980s. She worked in a department store toy and catalog department, and loved to buy the merchandise. Later in her life she did some traveling and bought some items outside her job location and added to her collection. She never bought used. She rarely took any of the toys out of the boxes, but just loved to buy, store, and display the toys at home, as is, in their original boxes.   Also a word about the storage of these dolls.  These dolls were stored over the years in ideal conditions. That is they were stored in the living area of the home in empty bedrooms and closets. Neither basements nor hot attics. Neither in direct sunlight. Many were rotated from storage to display shelves to be viewed and then back to storage. They have been exposed to pretty much a constant temperature and humidity of the living area of a Michigan home. A better way of stating this is that these dolls were NEVER stored in the basement exposed to humid conditions or in the heat of a hot attic. Let me also add that they have been in both a pet free, child free, and smoke free home.   I am NOT a collector or an expert on Barbie Dolls or Action Figures. My mother was the expert… not me! I have no expertise in this area of collecting. I am NOT a dealer either. So please bid accordingly and realize that I cannot answer questions that a doll collector would know.   Now, if you plan to bid, please read on…..       TERMS AND CONDITIONS – DISCLAIMERS PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING   SORRY, DUE TO PAST EXPERIENCE YOU MUST READ IF YOU PLAN TO BID!   Ebay is a Hobby for me, NOT a Business.  I do my best to fully describe my items and the conditions of the items as best I can.  If you are unsure, email and ask. If I cannot answer your question, and you are still uncertain, do not bid. I hate disappointing folks. All SALES are Final. Sometimes mistakes happen, if so let me know, and I will correct any obvious problems. However, I will not debate opinions of condition on antique toy items because I am by no means an expert in this area of collecting. So Please, consider this when you bid. I have negative feedback from folks who made assumptions and failed to ask in advance and clarify their concerns of issues, condition, and history. I have overwhelming positive feedback from folks who do ask and are pleased with my candor and responses to specific questions. If you are uncertain of what you are bidding on, please do not bid, I do not issue refunds for differences of opinions. What you see in the picture is what you get. Also, I will not open sealed boxes, or boxes I strongly believe have never been opened to inspect for contents. I’m told by other collectors, that packaging is important to many collectors. So I cannot guarantee contents for items that are still factory sealed. Again, this is not a business for me, but pure fun, so I’d rather sell at a low price to a satisfied customer, than to squeeze the big bucks and have you end up with buyer remorse.   AGAIN, ALL ITEMS SOLD AS IS, if the picture does not make it clear, I will not be hurt if you pass by this auction.   Concerning Shipping, I ONLY SHIP to the address on file in your EBAY account or PayPal accounts via USPS Priority Mail. Please do NOT ask me to ship elsewhere. If you want it shipped to a friend or loved one, you handle that.     I will DISCOUNT SHIPPING for MULTIPLE items won on the SAME DAY when possible. Sometimes large items have already been packaged in a shipping box to fit the item and adding additional items to the same box is not workable. I will send an invoice out within 24 hours of auction end for those bidders that win multiple items on the same day with shipping discount if possible. I do NOT discount for multiple items won over different days. Also, I do not profit from shipping and will not add any handling charges.   In addition, I know that many of my items are old and fragile. I pack items to withstand the normal trauma at the Post Office and use USPS Priority Mail for all domestic sales. And quite frankly the USPS Priority Mail has a very nice and successful record. However, every now and then a package seems to make it to the Destroyer that roams in the back hallways of the post office, and the post office really does not have a problem leaving a crushed box at your door. So, Insurance is optional, and quite frankly, I never buy it myself when I buy on ebay, but if you have a shipping problem as a result of the Post Office, do not ask me to compensate.     International Bidders,    I will NOT falsify any Customs Documents. International shipping quotes listed in this auction for your country are for First Class Global Priority Air Mail delivery. This is an EBAY / PAYPAL requirement for both buyer and seller protection policies. I no longer use cheaper shipping methods. Please do not ask. If stated shipping costs are more than you are willing to pay, please do not bid. Note, I do not profit from shipping cost, and do not add any additional handling charges to my quotes.          Thanks for looking and best of luck to your collecting endeavors.   Place a Bid!
