Nesting Dolls from PPW Toys



The fine folks from PPW Toys who you'll remember gave us the Wizard of Oz Potatoheads, have produced another surefire hit.  During Toy Fair, they debuted a darling set of nesting dolls.  I believe these are only the second licensed nesting dolls to be produced.  These use beautiful character imagery and will be a great addition to everyone's Oz or nesting doll collectionThey are packaged nicely and will display well.
 
Per PPW Toys:  These beautiful, solid-wood, collectible Wizard of Oz Nesting Dolls are a must-have for every fan!  Each set includes six wooden nesting dolls representing Dorothy, her three friends, the Wicked Witch, and even a tiny Toto!  Each detailed and beautifully decorated doll fits inside the next. Dolls range in size from 1"- 5.5", perfect for displaying!
 
They will be available this June from specialty stores and online.  You can pre-order NOW direct from PPW Toys.
 
Also the Dorothy and Wicked Witch Mrs. Potatoheads will be available again for in limited numbers. Also in June for $20.
 
Thank you to PPW Toys for photos and info!!!!

TOY FAIR 2017: Masterpieces Puzzle Co., Madame Alexander, and BLEACHER CREATURES


Glinda was introduced last year but didn't make it out. She's still coming.  Oz doll fans just have to be patient a little longer.   Unfortunately, the new 7 inch dolls were not on display.





Masterpieces Puzzle Company had their two new puzzles and the FABULOUS Emerald City-opoly!!!  All are shipping to stores now. 












And Bleacher Creatures has revealed four of their 5 Wizard of Oz characters.  The Cowardly Lion must have been true to his name and chosen to hide away from the crowds. I've been waiting a year to see these and they were totally worth the wait!!!  I'm sure they'll look even better in person.  I hope they'll add a Toto, Glinda, Winged Monkey, a Winkie Guard, and the Wizard, but especially Toto!!!  Coming around September and should be priced in the $20 range. 











BIG HUGE GIGANTIC Thanks to my Toy Fair photographer Dave McKroffterson!!!
