How to Buy Happy Meal Wizard of Oz Toys

The Madame Alexander Doll company was created in 1923 in New York City by Beatrice Alexander Behrman. Madame Alexander dolls are characterized by the hard plastic that makes them less breakable. Some dolls even have blinking eyes. In 2007 and 2008, the Madame Alexander Doll Company paired up with McDonald's to create Happy Meal Wizard of Oz toys. These toys are appealing because they are small versions of Madame Alexander Dolls and also commemorate the popular 1939 film. By following the steps below, you can buy Happy Meal Wizard of Oz toys.
