[QUOTE="BoudiccaJones, post: 4449977, member: 5592"]I don't know anything about these sort of dolls, is it for sure not wax? Wax would be totally different thing altogether. This is another monster I had. Got it years ago from eBay, were no pics so I relied on the seller's description of *good original condition* from which I can only deduce, the seller had no nose. This doll, a Pedigree, suffered ( and so did I , I have great sense of smell) from Hard Plastic Doll Disease and it reeked. Reeked. I got a refund and had to destroy the ole Pedigree. ( This is a different disease to celluloid doll diseases, the OP's doll doesn't look to be diseased to me but celluloid disease presents differently to HPD and it can be deceptive. If there is any vinegary aroma then tis doomed. Celluloid tends to still look like normal unlike HPD which does...the below. I have to say again though...doesn't look bad to me from here at all. Am just mentioning this for educational purposes in case anyone ever comes across HPD.
