I purchased this item new and unopened, and displayed it in a showcase with its default hair arrangement. I haven't taken out any items that might transfer color, such as those that are black. I noticed when putting it back in the box that the faux leather part of the coat has become brittle due to aging. The doll itself is in good condition. I am selling it to organize my collection. I have a dog in my house. I keep them separated, but there is a possibility that some hair may get mixed in. I will take the utmost care when shipping, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this. To prevent swapping, I request no returns or exchanges (NCNR). If you have any concerns before purchasing, please ask questions. I will ship the item within 2-3 days. I am also listing many other items, so please take a look. Thank you for viewing this page from among the many products available.
