I'm not 100% when I got this, but I was thinking 1994, and then I noticed a tag on the Nurse's dress that had a ©1994, so more than likely I DID get this around that year (maybe it was 95') I think 1995 was the last year I collected (till I started again as an adult).
The doll is closer to the newest version accept her hair is curly and her arms are bent.
I wish it came with a letter from Molly's dad...and/or pictures...but beggars can't be choosers.
The overall scale of the package/box seems off to me, not that I would really know...
The snow globe seems way too big and out of scale for the doll, more like a mini snow-globe for a real girl. It is nearly impossible to refill the water...although I did manage finally by using a squirt bottle meant for melted chocolate (similiar to this one pics.livejournal.com/chubbypanda/pic/003rxr9s) and holding it as tightly against the snowglobe hole as possible (after using a needle nose plyer to unplug the hole)... remarkably though, when I recently pulled out the globe after it being away for 15 or so years, it was only 1/4 empty.
The main reason (as a 10 year-old) that I wanted this was for the nurse doll... I remember wishing the doll had the sleep-eyes. She is in really good condition and I don't think she got much play...although her shoes are missing at first I thought maybe she didn't come with shoes..but then I saw the above reviews and now I vaguely remember the shoes constantly falling off...I'll have to search my barbie bin up in the attic...
For the original $16 this seems like one of the better/most reasonable deals in terms of price/quality that AG has offered.
I'm not good with grading items, so I will let you decide based on what I wrote above and these images:
