    Description

    Gene Marshall 2002 Convention Doll - "
    CHAMPAGNE FLIGHT
    " in
    GREEN
    !! - AMAZING!!
    This doll was used as the centerpiece for tables at the 2002 Convention.
    Only 25 were ever made in green
    !!
    You may find the blue (250 dolls worldwide) or beige (200 dolls worldwide) variants from time to time on ebay, but it is incredibly rare to find a green example of this beautiful doll. As all 25 were used at the convention, she has been removed from her box, but her shoes, hat, bag, and gloves are included and in great shape!
    This is a rare opportunity to own a part of fashion doll history!
    Full Disclosure:
    It appears that the upper body of the doll may be experiencing some discoloration -- it is only visible at the neck, and hasn't progressed into the deeper yellow tint yet. The doll has been kept in a cool, climate-controlled room in her box since the time of her purchase, so I am unsure as to the reason for the discoloration of the skin -- though, I've been reading online about a number of causes and solutions to vinyl dolls, this will be left to the high bidder to decide how to approach.
    There are also two small "spots / stains" on the front of the skirt (see the images above) that have been there since the doll came into my possession.  As I am not a professional restoration expert, I am not going to even attempt at removing the spots as I don't want to create undo color issues with the fabric. So I will leave that to the high bidder and the professionals.
    Other than these two items, the doll is in fantastic, condition!
    Feel free to contact me with any questions, and I'll do my best to answer as quickly as possible!
    Thanks for your interest in Gene, and happy bidding!
