Dolls Reviews

This reproduction of the charming but scatter-brained Scarecrow is part of Madame Alexander's Wizard of Oz collection, presenting many of the characters from the classic book series and movie. He's dressed in a black felt hat, black boots, black print pants, and a blue checked shirt. Both his head and attached hands are made of beige cloth framed with bits of straw. His facial features are hand-embroidered. The hood can be removed to reveal a regular doll's head with blond hair and the same face used on most Madame Alexander 8-inch dolls. --Marcie Bovetz

Snow White manages to look like a princess even when she's keeping house for seven little men. She's dressed in a long gown with a yellow satin skirt, red velvet top, and royal blue satin puffed sleeves--her classic outfit. Gold trim accents the top of her dress, with cherry red ribbons decorating the sleeves and holding back Snow White's striking black curls. Under her dress, she wears a separate lace-trimmed half-slip, bloomers, white socks, and gold slippers. Snow White has a signature Madame Alexander doll face, with pretty rosy cheeks, red lips, and her open-close, brown eyes have real lashes. --Marcie Bovetz
