Doll-A-Day 2023 #325: Kelly as Lullaby Munchkin

   I would have sworn I posted this doll before, when I did a load of Ivy's Wizard of Oz dolls, (See those posts HERE, HERE, HERE, and the Dorothy doll to go with them HERE.) But I can't find her amongst my posts, so I must not have. So today, here she is. She's Kelly as Lullaby Munchkin.

  "The Wizard of Oz" scene with the Lullaby League happens when Dorothy is being welcomed to Munchkin Land, (with a fa la la la la...). There are three members of the Lullaby League, all wearing pink ballet outfits and toe shoes. Their pink outfits are shiny like this one though.

  There were three dolls in the series this girl is from. The other two wear the Lollipop Guild Munchkin, and the Munchkin Mayor. You can see both of those in more detail by following the links to Ivy's Wizard of Oz dolls above. The series was made in 2007.

 

  

  She is a pretty little doll. She looks good as a regular kid if you remove the Munchkin costume and out her in regular clothes.

Ivy, Emma, and I all have one of these dolls. She was popular around our house.

  She got a little wet in the Room of Water. She was in a box full of boxed Kelly and Tommy dolls, and several of them got a little mildew on their boxes. All survived okay in the end though. Lullaby's box plastic is just a little  dirty now. I should have cleaned it off, but I have a lot going on right now. It's Christmas time, and we're trying to prepare to get back in our house.

  That's today's doll. See you tomorrow!

Doll-A-Day 2019 #347: Munchkin vs Munchkin: Tommy as The Lollipop Guild Members

  Today's doll is two again. It's these little guys.

They are both Tommy dolls,masquerading as members of The Lollipop Guild from The Wizard of Oz.

The giant lollipop is a bit big even for the Lollipop Guild. It came with the blue guy.

The little fellow in blue was sold as a single doll, in 1999.

He was from the same series as the Munchkin Mayor, which we saw yesterday. Also in that series was Kelly as a member of the Lullaby League.

The other Lollipop Guild member is from a 2007 set, which also included two Kelly dolls as a Munchkin lady, and a 'Sleepyhead' girl.
 

That set was part of the Pink Label series, and more for collectors than a set of play dolls.

They share the same plastic hair sculpt, but it's done very differently.

Neither is entirely accurate, but the blue one is the farthest from correct. The blue guy had hair 'horns'.
 

They both have freckled faces, but very different skin tones.

Blue guy has felt shoes.

Red guy should have striped stockings, which I didn't find. I also could only find one of his boots, but at least you can see this one. It's the same mold as a lot of Kelly/Tommy boots, but a unique colour amongst Tommy and Kelly shoes.
 

The red guy's shirt is a nice fabric, replicating the shirt from the movie. and it even has little buttons. The collar should have been white though.
 

  The only member of the Lollipop Guild that Mattel didn't produce was, as my kids always called him, 'the green guy'. That's ironic, because the 'green guy' was in more scenes than any other Munchkin. The director liked him, and he was a better actor than some of the others. The actor who played 'the green guy' was Jerry Marin. He was 18 at the time. He was the very last surviving Munchkin when he passed away in 2018. He was also the last surviving Oz cast member with a speaking or singing part.

  Those are today's dolls.

Doll-A-Day 2019 #346: Tommy as The Munchkin Mayor

  I have been a bit remiss in not posting more Wizard of Oz dolls,as this year marks the 80th anniversary of the classic movie. I'm trying to make up for that. Today's doll is a brief one, in more ways than one, He's this guy.

He's the Munchkin Mayor,as portrayed by Kelly doll's friend Tommy.

Check out that mustache! He's the only Tommy with facial hair, I think.

He's 'brief',as in, he's short,and also as in, this is a short post.

His hat and shoes are made of felt.His hat is stitched to his head, and his shoes to his feet.

It has to be. I have to drive to Indiana tomorrow to get Ivy. (And no, her room is still not finished!)
 

He has the giant pocket watch. It's made of fabric and completely flat.They could have at least made it out of plastic.

The Munchkin Mayor was made in 1999. Fuzz has one too, but this one is Ivy's. Sorry about his dirty face!

His hair is a sculpted part of his head. He has the mayoral spit curls.

  That's today's doll. See you again tomorrow for another one.
