Here is one of my favorites items from the Lucy collection. From their own home comes a rare and hard to find American Character “I Love Lucy BABY” doll, still in original box with tags and unopened accessories. 14″ dressed baby girl doll was produced while Lucy was actually pregnant, and was also used on the show in place of the real infant. Only produced for a few months. When her TV baby Little Ricky was born, American Character came out with the Ricky, Jr. doll and production of Lucy’s Baby was discontinued.
Details:
Original hangtag has been signed by LUCIE ARNAZ as a bonus! Hard plastic head, blue/green sleep eyes, rubber body similar to her cousin “Tiny Tears.” Unplayed with condition, has been in storage and on display at the Universal Studios “Tribute to Lucille Ball” exhibit in Hollywood.
Rubber body has some small cracks as shown in photos, but overall is still VERY good compared to what happens to so many Tiny Tears rubber bodies! I didn’t complete undress her as I didn’t want to damage the clothing.
Face paint is very good, some wear to head paint as shown. Clothes are nearly new!
Original accessories in drawer, plastic has never been opened. Includes baby bottle, sponge, brochure and more. Some slight darkening on body where clothing was not covering it but this baby is CLEAN and bright! Box has some wear & tear; great graphics inside the lid.
An outstanding example overall of a HARD to FIND collectible doll, still with box and tags. BONUS signature of Lucie too! Rubber has some cracks, but this is a beautiful display doll. Please take a look at all the Lucille Ball collectibles in our eBay store.
