Other: Issued with a certificate of authenticity, Nancy Mini Shorts is from the 2014 Nancy Collection, a reproduction of the 1975 brown-complexioned Nancy. This version was made and sold only in Spain and was voted the favorite doll for 2014 by Nancy doll fans. Nancy Tusset and Nancy Negrita, two other reissues of 1975 dolls, were also released in 2014. The late Begona Otero, a fellow doll collector and Barbie enthusiast from Spain purchased Nancy Mini Shorts for the curator in October 2014.
