(More customer reviews)I would buy from this seller again. The price was reasonable, delivery was prompt, and the packaging was in excellent condition. The dolls themselves are in near mint condition; they had their original fastenings to the cardboard background still in place, so it must be just the outer box that was repackaged. Barbie and Ken are in perfect shape, except that my Ken has a stain on his torso from his black pants. They also have a faint but not altogether unpleasant odor, which I strongly suspect is from the type of plastic used for their molded heads.
Barbie and Ken each have a communicator, which is a tiny, cellphone-like thing that actually flips open, and is unsuitable for small children. The dolls have holes in their hands by which they are meant to hold the communicators, but they don't work and they keep dropping the pesky things! But since I won't be displaying them, that doesn't matter. If you do wish to display the dolls, each has a black plastic stand with name tag, and there is a Gold Label certificate of authenticity included. Barbie has a tricorder, which also opens. Ken sports a phaser, which he can sheath in a holster loop on the side of his shirt.
Their clothes, made of a sort of felt, are detailed and appropriate. Barbie has red underwear(!) and black stockings. Ken's pants seemed too short, but as I discovered in my Star Trek Encyclopedia, they are exactly the right length for his duty uniform. I was especially excited about their rubber boots, as I have never seen anything like them.
As an amateur collector, I very much enjoy these unique additions to my collection. I would not buy them for a child younger than five years old, however.
