Madame Alexander Happy Meal toys have been very popular promotions for McDonald's. Doll collectors and children seem to adore the miniaturized Alexander dolls.

Thanks to Karen Owens, Kelly Pepin, Valerie Dunaway, Jim Whitcomb, Laurae Kozlik, and Deb Dwyer for breaking the news and regularly updating about these adorable little dolls.
