paint again; "He repainted the wall after the child smeared it with tomato sauce"
Item that has been reproduced from an existing mold and is marketed as the same item as the original release of the product, but has a different paint style from the orignal item released.
some doll collectors like to have rubbed, scratched or worn paint touched up to make their doll look better for display. Some dealers will do the same in order to increase profits. This is a matter of personal preference. Their is one "camp" of collector who will say this increases the dolls value since it adds to her display quality. There is another "camp" of collectors who will say this decreases the dolls value as she is no longer in original condition. Additionally, quality of the restoration must be considered. There are many people providing these services who can be considered nothing short of a true artist. Unfortunately, there are also many people who, well - let's just say quality isn't their #1 concern. Some people will mention any repainting when they sell the doll. Some will not. If in doubt -Ask. May also be referred to as a retouch.
Just what it sounds like. A figure that has been painted in new colors, whether as a production change or to create a new figure.
A repaint is a toy that was created entirely from a mold was previously available, however the colors of the plastic and/or the paint operations have been changed. Repaints differ from redecos in that repaints do not alter the actual placement of paint applications while redecos do.
