The Fancy Nancy Doll

Fancy Nancy doll displayed in the box. Right, her face up close.

       Fancy Nancy comes with rooted, brilliant red curly hair. Her facial features are painted. Her eyes are bright green. She has freckles, just as most red headed children do. Her mouth is open showing smile with suggested teeth. 
       This doll's body type is that of a kindergartener through first and second grade. Her limbs are just a bit on the chunky side. Her pale green tights are painted on permanently. 
       Fancy Nancy stands nine inches tall and she has five points of articulation those being: at the neck, at the shoulders and at the waist. Her knees do not bend. 
       Her body is made of a harder plastic vinyl than her head. She has a headband, waist bow and shoes all made of the same soft, pink plastic but in a variety of pinks. 
       Nancy's dress is sewn with shimmery green and pink synthetic fabrics that include velcro closures. This costume may be washed but do not iron it! It may melt.

Additional play items include molded plastic flats and sticky paper ribbon for children to make their own jewelry for play.

The doll from four different angles, plus one photo showing her undressed with painted tights.

       Our Fancy Nancy doll is built for rough handling. Her joints are relatively durable. Her expression is sweet and loving and her costume would appeal to any young child.  Nancy also has very flat feet so it is easy to make her stand on her own. 
       There are other variations of this same doll with a closed mouth and alternative fashions as well as some that come in much larger sizes.

Above is our Fancy Nancy doll, when she was new in the box.
