🍎 RARE 1979 First Issue Apple Dumplin' & Tea Time Turtle

Step back into the original 1979 Berry Patch! This is the highly coveted "Flat Hands" first edition of Apple Dumplin'—the very first baby character introduced in the Kenner line. She is in beautiful vintage condition and comes with her rare, original hard-plastic companion, Tea Time. Condition Highlights: The Doll: Crips and clean facial paint with clear green eyes and vibrant orange curls. The Outfit: Yellow jumper with the red embroidered apple and green-and-white striped socks have no rips or stains. The Bonnet: Includes her original green polka-dot hat. Note for Collectors: The internal elastic has stretched over time (common for this age), so it sits loosely on her head. There are no tears or significant stains, but it may require a small pin or a quick elastic replacement if you prefer a snug fit. The Pet: Includes the original 1979 Tea Time Turtle (matte, hard plastic, sitting on all four feet). Very minimal paint wear. Product Info: Brand: Kenner / American Greetings Release Year: 1979 (First Issue, Flat Hands) Includes: Doll, original outfit, and first-issue Tea Time Turtle. Please review all high-resolution photos as they form part of the description. These are authentic 1980s items; expect minor natural signs of aging consistent with dolls over 40 years old.
