Just a couple words on doll collecting... and I know you aren't going to go all crazy with this, but... having the dolls in their original box, obviously never played with does add something to their value, HOWEVER - what can take away from the value is if the bands that hold the dolls in place in the box start to discolor the dolls skin. This can even happen through the clothing. I always remove the doll from the box, remove the bands and return it back to the box if I'm going to store them.
Congrats on your bargain purchase! Woowoo!
Now, if you happen to see the 18 inch tall Peter Criss from KISS doll in good condition......
