For all you Oz lovers, McDonalds Happy Meal Toys are to die for.

They are little Madame Alexander's Wizard of Oz dolls, and you can purchase them without getting the Happy Meal. Depending on what McDonalds you go to (I've been to three so far as each one had different dolls), they range from 99 cents to $2.60.

What is neat is that they have a Wicked Witch of the East doll (who does not appear in the movie, or course). Could this be Madame Alexander's version of Nessarose??

Is it just me, or do Madame Alexander doll freak anyone else out?

They kinda scare me... Seriously.

I think ALL Madam Alexander dolls scare me.

I wouldn't want to meet one of 'em in a dark alley. 'S'all I'm sayin'.

If they remind you of midgets then the munchkin figurines should be fine.

I'm collecting them all from my friend's little sister, who is glad to help me add to my collection =)

An eighteen year old boy getting Oz dolls from a twelve year old. Good times.

LOL. I got the Sandy and Danny set from "Grease" as a gift one Christmas. They're cute. In return I got her the Marlo Thomas as "That Girl" Madame Alexander doll.

Since I was the Coroner in the musical at my schoo, My mom found a Madame Alexander Coroner doll. It's quite cute, except the moustache and beard look a little funky. But still cute.
They actually have dolls from Wicked, it's limited to 350 or something like that. I found it in a catalog. It's Elphaba and Glinda. I don't like Elphie's dress. It's black with red. Tad unattractive.

I'm 23 and today before we went, a McD commercial came on, and I was like "they have Wizard of Oz stuff?!" lol.

the Coroner just died in real life, did you see that in the NY Times?

MissChung-
Are you sure, I've searched the NYTimes website, and checked for info, and can't find that info anywhere about Meinhardt Raabe.

yeah, I have the article at home cut out - unless its been recycled already. let me look and see if i can find it.

ot husk, did that other fun thread get deleted? i have been waiting all night to read the rest of it lol

Posted: 3/30/07 at 9:42pm

Yea it did...it turned REALLY dirty.

I dunno, I'm in a Wizard of Oz Yahoo group very closely linked to the Munchkins (In fact, he's a member), and we would have known very quickly.

you know what - you're right. I'm sorry, he didnt die, it was actually someone else from the movie. I got the two confused bc they were side by side on my dresser, sorry!

He is still alive and well in his retirement community. The article was from feb 18 by dan barry, in case you are interested :)

Ya know, I give McDonald's credit. I went there w/ my sister and her friend and my mom. They have really outdone themselves. They are actually not cheapie toys, as they usually give out.

The Coroner died? Oh snap.

Just kidding about the Coroner. I hadn't seen the other posts. My mom actully got an autographed picture from Jerry Maren, the green lolipop kid.
