I bought this doll at a faith farm today for .50 cents, with the intention to scare my boyfriend with her after doing some modifications..but she just intrigued me too much to change her before I knew who or what she is! She is musical and plays a tune that I cannot recognize..I cant find any markings and her hair is a reddish/orange slapped on her head as a wig style. I looked through some Sankyo dolls and they have her same face, but I wasn't 100% and wondered if anyone here had any idea what she is. :)
*Edit* I also forgot to mention the porcelain has an odd blue hue to it, even on parts covered by the dress*
We refer to her a waldo doll . She is very common to find and has no value she was sold from 70's to 80's . Here is a link that will tell you all about her
Sorry I could not say she was worth more but they are everywhere and no one is buying them :-( Watch the video it is good .

Her eyes are beautiful , They had different eyes . As I look she maybe a Japan made doll also .
I thought she was one of the generic dolls too, although I didnt see any generics that were musical? Either way she is adorable, and yes! I loved her eyes, usually I don't like these types of dolls much, but her face is different than ones I've seen before, very cute.
She has the look of a sankyo doll . My daughter had one it was tagged on her dress have you looked their ? Disregard my first comment ok
I did look around on the dress however I dont think it's the original dress, the inside has many many loose threads which make me think someone custom made the dress or something.
