Annalee Wizard of Oz 2008

The collectible news lately just keeps getting better and better. For those not familiar with Annalee they produce mice and dolls full of enchantment and whimsy. Annalee has been producing these delightful felt diversions with painted faces since the early 1950s. A few years ago, a set of Wizard of Oz mice was available exclusively through Macy's Department stores. Now Annalee has re-introduced The Wizard of Oz set. The bear a resemblance to the MGM characters but are still undeniably Annalee. They are priced at $20 each and they are expected to ship just in time for Christmas. Order early as these will be very popular among Annalee, mice, and Wizard of Oz collectors. More characters are expected to be added to the line. Karen Owens is accepting pre-orders now. http://www.wizardofozland.com/order.php
