McDonald's employees do their best to be helpful, but some have limited knowledge of English which doesn't extend to, "I don't want a #3 value meal; I want to buy one of every <I>Wizard of Oz</I> doll you have in the store." And not being a child or (in some cases) a girl makes conveying that message even harder.J. L.

I was very excited when I asked my daughter which toy she wanted and she said the Ninja Turtle.Kairihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872242220944366487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-17586322353983662772007-03-27T13:47:00.000-05:002007-03-27T13:47:00.000-05:00I think the whole point of Madame Alexander dolls ...I think the whole point of Madame Alexander dolls is that they do all have the same face, with different costumes. It's like the <A HREF="http://www.comicspage.com/loveis/" REL="nofollow"><I>Love Is...</I></A> cartoon always having the same big-eyed characters. That's not lack of imagination; that's an artistic choice, whether we like the result or not.J. L.

I think they are ugly. Their faces are exactly alike, there is no creativity going on here, just a generic doll dressed in a myriad of different costumes. Considering some of the fantastic doll designs I have seen, I don't know what is so great about Madame Alexander dolls. I would rather have a Ninja Turtle! Personally, I would be ashamed of myself if, as a doll designer, I just constantly repeated the same plain, ugly abnormal-looking face and just dressed them in different clothes. They look cheap, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-59334599442401991162007-03-27T11:43:00.000-05:002007-03-27T11:43:00.000-05:00That IS creepy....That IS creepy....Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192628745431017199noreply@blogger.com
