Box shows some wear from storage. Probably not ---- I did pull the string one time and it retracted quickly with no words. The doll is perfect - with gorgeous coloring - perfect hair and wrist tag. Peeking into the box, I can see the stand and a booklet or pamphlet or some paper in there. Perfect addition to any collection! I have a few bubbles and a ponytail to list so check back often. Smoke free and pet free home. Please send your best offer - I don't play the back and forth game - I will just decline with no counter offer in response to lowball offers.
