Starshine Morningstar Gotz Native American Navajo Indian Doll 18 Box Rare Stand
STARSHINE “MORNINGSTAR” GOTZ NATIVE AMERICAN NAVAJO INDIAN DOLL. This one is named “Morningstar”, the first Starshine Doll to be produced. It was made from about 1989 to 1993. She was designed and created by Robin Holland in Fort Collins, Colorado. Under special agreement with Gotz Dolls, Holland used Gotz doll bodies, heads (minus wigs) and torsos to authentically and accurately create dolls that represent the historical, cultural, and traditional appearance of various Native American Indian tribes. Morningstar represents the Navajo tribe. This doll was created in a limited-edition, but the quantity made is unknown. Morningstar stands about 18 tall. She has the Starshine facial mold with black sleep eyes and a black modacrylic wig. Her long hair is worn in two small side braids with a white feather and red ties. Morningstar’s outfit is a traditional Navajo-style shirt with a green skirt. She is wearing a bird fetish necklace and concho belt. The doll has a soft cloth body with vinyl limbs. Her white moccasins are made of leather. The back of the doll’s neck is marked “Gotz-Puppe” and her body is stamped with the Starshine Doll name and address. Her original hang tag is still attached, which includes information about the Navajo tribe. The doll also comes with her original box. This doll is extra special because it comes with a VERY RARE doll stand made by Allison Dolly Prop specifically for Starshine dolls. This one has a sheep and cactus. This one appears to be quite scarce, as I can’t find another example pictured anywhere online. Condition of this Starshine Morningstar doll is EXCELLENT. Her hair needs some restyling, but she is complete and undamaged. Her clothing is clean and she came from a non-smoking home. The doll stand is also in great condition. The box is intact but has significant wear and the top is pushed in some. Overall, this vintage doll looks fantastic and would make a fine addition to any collection. Please take a close look at the many photos I’ve provided and judge condition for yourself. These dolls are quite scarce and are in high demand. See my other listings. For more great items!
