We acquired this toy here in south central Nebraska and this is how it was when we purchased the toy, all original, the only part that might have been altered over the years is the lightning bolt on the front it appears to be done with a different shade of yellow and it is pinned on while the felt belt is sewn in the back. This toy is still in exceptional original condition!

Rare Captain Marvel Plush Doll with Cape (Fawcett/J. Hirsch & Sons of New York, 1946). This 17.5″ Captain Marvel doll is incredibly rare, and in our research on the doll, we have only found evidence of two other examples that have ever been offered for sale! The doll, with its velveteen-covered plush body, composition hands/wrist cuffs, boots, and head, comes complete with the original silk-screened fabric cape (has one small .5″ rip in the bottom edge), felt belt, and felt lightning bolt insignia on the chest. The doll shows signs of handling wear, but is in Fine to Very Fine overall condition. The felt chest symbol has discolored with age, as has the belt. There is also some aging and very light fading to the red velveteen body. The composition head, hands with wrist cuffs, and boots are in remarkable condition. The boots have the original Fawcett copyright stamps on the undersides. One of only three known examples of this rare toy. Considered to be one of the most sought-after Captain Marvel items in the hobby.
