NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX, GREAT CONDITION. Darla Daley, friend of Poppy Parker in the doll world of a young adult female fashion model in the 60’s in New York City, plays the part of a professional singer. She has a medium brown complexion, side-glancing large doe-like brown eyes (no applied lashes), and silver-tone button earrings. Her shoulder-length black hair is smoothed back and rolled under at the base of the neck, with a white ribbon headband holding her style in place. She comes wearing white fishnet pantyhose under a short black halter jumper trimmed in white, over a white ribbed turtleneck sweater. Also included are a black patent pleather flats with decorative black bows. The retail box is in great display condition and, of note, is the fact that this box has only one pink tie ribbon on the right side facing the window display lid. The lid is attached to the box bottom and hinges open on the left with the top and bottom corners intentionally manufactured with a split design to allow this movement.
The Poppy Parker body is about the same height as a standard 11.5-inch fashion doll, with slightly slimmer chest, waist, and hips. She can share clothes with a variety of fashion dolls and has nicely designed articulation at the neck (front/back/side tilt), shoulders and hips (front/back/lateral), knees that bend, and twist/bend articulation at the elbows, wrists, and ankles. The shaped flat feet are larger than most standard fashion dolls, so shoe choices may be limited, although the ankles can tilt to accommodate high heels. Toe box width is the critical factor in shoe fit.
This Darla, sought after by doll enthusiasts, was designed under the direction of Jason Wu, has top-notch clothing, displays wonderfully, and is cute as a button. She’ll make a great addition to any curated collection. She will ship inside her original retail box, carefully packed inside a shipper box.
