FOR SALE: Fisher-Price Baby Ann, FP Tag #204

Item Code # D-FP-8ANN   ~  SOLD  ~
~*~*~*~

PLEASE NOTE Disclaimer:  When I received this doll in a shipment of several Fisher-Price "lap sitters," I opened the box and could tell immediately that they had come from a smoker's home.  The seller failed to mention this (but I failed to ask) so I have been sprucing and cleaning these little kids before I find them new homes. The dolls were otherwise in almost new condition, many with the netting still on their heads, so I think that most were probably displayed with little or no play at all. Unfortunately these dolls are not machine washable like so many of the other FP dolls so surface washing their bodies and spritzing with Febreeze fabric odor eliminator, along with washing their hair and removable clothing is about all I can do.  They really are much improved!   Keeping them out in the fresh air and not packed away, and an occasional re-spritzing with Febreeze (or a sprinkling of baby powder), will also help over time.  If you yourself are a smoker, I doubt that you would even notice any lingering odor, but for those of us that do not smoke, there may be tell-tale signs such as a hint of smoke smell when deeply searching for it, or some yellowing of the lighter fabric.  Any of the dolls that were part of that shipment will have this disclaimer so if I list one that doesn't, then it was not part of this group.  P.S.  The person who bought my Joey from this same shipment wrote back and said she was VERY pleased with him.

SO,,, with that said, here is the description of this little doll:

14" Baby Ann, is part of the Soft Girls series released in 1974.  There were six kids introduced initially, and she was the only baby of the group.  She is somewhat more difficult to find today than the others.   Her body is made of cloth with non-removable shoes/socks.  Her head is vinyl as well as her dainty little hands.   This one was in the above mentioned shipment without any clothing.   I happened to have a Baby Ann dress and diaper in my supplies so she is now wearing her authentic dress and her diaper.  (the clothing therefore was not exposed to smoke).

Baby Ann has the sweetest wistful expression, just begging for a hug!  Ann's coloring is very nice and is supposed to be fair.  No chips in eye or lip paint. 

Front and Back Views (stand not included)
The elastic in the sleeves in dress is stretched.   Baby Ann's hair is in her typical short choppy shaggy style and is factory.  Very shiny and full.  There is NO bleeding of the red shoes onto the white socks. The white "socks" on her shoes are very white.  Overall her body is very clean, no stains or tears anywhere.  All fingers are present and there are no chew marks. 

Tag is intact and very readable.

A great doll if you are collecting all in the series of these little ones, or if this was your childhood friend. 
This precious Baby Ann is just waiting to find a home with hugs!
