Pre-Mattel Samantha is stamped Pleasant Company on the back of her neck, and is in gently used condition.  She has the sweetest face - and very squeezable vinyl, soft eyelashes (all intact), and her soft shiny hair maintains its bouncy curl.  Eyes function normally, she can hold a pose, and is clean with no noticeable marks or odors.  Appears someone decided to shorten her strings...has no impact at all, but felt a need to mention it.  Samantha is wearing her meet outfit - dress (tagged "Made in West Germany for Pleasant Company 1986"), matching hair ribbon, black ribbed tights,  white bloomers (elastic still good!),  and Mary Jane shoes.  In addition, she comes with her meet book (which has a few wrinkles) and "Samantha Parkington" pamphlet.  Please look over photos, since they serve as part of the description.
