PURPLE PIEMAN (Strawberry Shortcake) vinyl doll

  This is a 10" jointed vinyl doll of Strawberry Shortcake's enemy, the Purple Pieman, who comes with Berry Bird.  The Purple Pieman wears a poofy lavender chef's hat with a turquoise-and-black diamond band across it, a turquoise cloth shirt, a white cloth apron, and purple pants.  He has a large yellow plastic spoon attached to his hip.  This item is in mint condition and has never been removed from its original box.  The box is in nearly perfect condition, too, with no damage anywhere on it . . . just some indentations in the cardboard on the left side and on the rear.  This item was manufactured by Kenner in 1982 as part of a larger collection of Strawberry Shortcake character collectibles.
