I received the Mer-chan doll about 7 years ago, and my child played with it at home. It can also be used in the bath. The hair changes color to pink when wet. The hair is a little tangled, and the rubber band on the dress set's headband is stretched, so I tied it to use, but otherwise, there are no noticeable stains, and I think it can still be played with. Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item that has been stored at home and used by a child.
