Midnight Pink — Restored Vintage #3 Blonde Ponytail Barbie | Ginger’s Doll Cottage
Soft pink satin, shimmering silver, and delicate pearls bring a romantic elegance to this vintage #3 blonde ponytail Barbie, lovingly restored by hand at Ginger’s Doll Cottage.
Her handmade ensemble is patterned after Midnight Pink, the rare Japanese-exclusive light pink variation of Midnight Blue. A sweeping pink satin cape with a soft faux fur collar frames a sparkling silver bodice and flowing pink satin skirt. Long pale pink gloves, pink open toe heels with pearls, and pearl jewelry complete her evening attire.
Her blonde hair has been fully restyled into its classic ponytail with a hard curl, and her facial paint has been fully restored, bringing renewed expression to her beautiful vintage face.
Restoration & Vintage Condition
This doll has received extensive restoration and retains signs of her age. Please review the following details and photographs carefully:
- Two missing hair plugs were replaced using matching vintage blonde hair.
- Her hair has been fully restyled, including the hard curl.
- Facial paint had significant loss, and it has been fully restored.
- A tiny neck split and a broken neck knob have both been repaired.
- Multiple small spots and dots remain on her face and body, giving some areas a freckled appearance.
- Her coloring and fading remain uneven. She has not undergone UV lightening; her existing vintage coloration has been retained to keep her as original as possible.
Her outfit is a handmade recreation, rather than an original vintage Mattel fashion.
Presented as Midnight Pink, she combines the character of an early Barbie with the detailed restoration and romantic styling of Ginger’s Doll Cottage—a special addition to a collection that celebrates vintage beauty and the artistry of restoration.
