-- Dorothy and Her Friends Have Been Re-imagined and
Will Continue to Spark Imaginations of The Wizard of Oz Lovers --
February 7, 2014 (New York, NY) - From the time Dorothy™ landed in Munchkinland™, Madame Alexander has created exclusive dolls based on the classic film. Seventy-five years later, the journey continues with an exciting new limited edition collection of the classic characters re-imagined in a Steam Punk style, as well as special collectible dolls in celebration of the classic movieʼs 75th anniversary.
The Madame Alexander Doll Company is excited to introduce a new Limited Edition Steam Punk The Wizard of Oz 16” Doll Collection. Inspired by 19th-century sci-fi and fantasy, these brand new Steam Punk-style dolls reenvision the classic The Wizard of Oz™ characters – Dorothy, the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch. Continuing the Madame Alexander Doll Company tradition of “love in the details,” each doll will come with the classic charactersʼ accessories.
Limited Edition Steam Punk Dorothy™ $199.95
Dressed in a blue and white gingham skirt, brown velour corset with gold ribbon and a white cotton shirt, this 16” fully articulated brown-eyed, brunette-braided Dorothy™ is set to enter Emerald City. Blue knit thigh-highs, ruby red boots and a black flock-top hat adorned with white and black feathers and gold goggles complete the look. A silver “robot-like” Toto is carried in a white woven basket.
Limited Edition Steam Punk Wicked Witch of the West™ $199.95
This 16” fully articulated Wicked Witch of the West™, brunette with brown eyes, is quite fetching interpreted in the Steam Punk style. Green with envy, she is dressed in a green and black taffeta and silk dupioni dress accented with green on green stripes. Buttons and gears embellish her bodice as does a big green tulle bow. Her stylishly floppy black hat is made of dupioni and also accented in green tulle. Other accents include a choker, black suede lace-up boots, and lace stockings - a real wicked witch indeed. Steam Punk Wicked Witch of the West™ is ready
to get on her broom and fly over Emerald City!
Limited Edition Steam Punk Glinda the Good Witch™ $199.95
With red hair and brown eyes, the 16” fully articulated Glinda the Good Witch™ is ready to take on the Wicked Witch of the West in true Steam Punk style. Her embroidered pink layered petal skirt, accented with a sheer pink train is paired with an embroidered pink satin off-the-shoulder bodice tied with gold ribbon and accented by a gold “gear” butterfly and gold nailheads. A pale pink taffeta petticoat, pink glissenette thigh-highs and gold glitter boots
complement the outfit. Ribbons, feathers and watch gears adorn a pink felt top hat, while a gold wired wand, topped with a heart-shaped sphere, complete the look.
In addition, Madame Alexander will be honoring the iconic filmʼs 75th anniversary milestone with a collectable assortment of dolls. Each doll will come with a commemorative anniversary box depicting Emerald City™.

Madame Alexanderʼs 8” “Maggie” with straight leg is transformed into Glinda the Good Witch™.

She wears pink patent leather flats. Her crown and wand are adorned with silver rhinestones.

75th Anniversary Wicked Witch of the East™ $109.95
Before she was toppled by the house, the Wicked Witch of the East™ wore the lovely Ruby Slippers. This 8” Wendy™ (straight leg), a blonde blue-eyed witch, is wearing a grey and lilac dress, trimmed in white rickrack, with leg-o-mutton sleeves of grey and black striped jersey. A shorter front hem reveals matching grey and black tights and those notable sparkling bowed Ruby Slippers. A black flock corset with black satin lacings is worn over the dress and topped with a red circular cape, and of course a matching witchʼs hat. Every witch needs her broom,
and this one carries one with a grey handle and straw bristles – adorned by a tan satin ribbon.
