2007 WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
MADAME ALEXANDER DOLL MCDONALD'S HAPPY MEAL: WIZARD OF OZ
This adorable doll strangely enough is called The Wicked Witch and part of a
collection of eight in the series of The Wizard of Oz created specially for MacDonalds. Although this photo doesn't do her justice because actually her skin is a soft mint green and complements her sparkling emerald eyes and black lashes.
Can you believe this lovely doll came tucked inside a MacDonald happy
meal box? Wow! Happy meals are more than just dinner in a box, but a real
treasure chest. And this little gem is from one of the finest doll maker in history!
Madame Alexander Dolls
In 1923 Madame Beatrice Alexander founded the Alexander Doll
Company. The daughter of Russian immigrants, Beatrice was born in Brooklyn, New
York on March 9, 1895.
Raised above her father’s doll hospital (yes, for real! ) and the first of
its kind in America, Beatrice developed a passion for handcrafting quality
dolls, each painstakingly designed, beautiful, and award winning. Madame Alexander dolls delight children and collectors the world over.
And who knows children better than MacDonald’s?
The other day while cleaning out the toybox I found Woody and Buzz Lightyear, soft cloth twelve inch dolls I remember my son simply had to have.
MacDonald's has made some awesome and memorable toys that remind me of sticky back seats, smeared windows and scattered fries.
And for a few bucks I was a hero.
