Did you ever play with imperfect dolls?

"I had one Barbie with a missing hand, and a few with heads that had a tendency to pop off. The heads we either ignored or turned into a morbid running joke. The one with the hand was just disabled, but was treated the same as any other Barbie, except she never picked anything up with that hand."
