Not much...we have a ton of them and we're going to sell them on ebay, but they are going for nothing so we decided to wait.

OTW, they have Madame Alexander dolls but not Disney ones. All of the Madame Alexander dolls were dressed as cute Disney characters or as Mouseketeers. Too, cute!

Re: favorite happy meal toy
 

The Happy Meal debuted in June 1979, so that must have been from another restaurant. (I had to check because I was thinking that we didn't have Happy Meals when I was a little kid, and I was born in 1969.)

Here is what you were looking for, I think...

"McDonald's thought the boxes would be the must-have item. The first Happy Meals came in boxes that -- when combined -- formed a circus train. The toys inside included a stencil, puzzle book, wrist wallet, top and erasers. They learned kids wanted the toys, not the boxes."

That was June 1979.


ETA: My favorite was the Halloween buckets that the meal came in. There was a green one that looked like Frankenstein's head, an orange pumpkin, and a glow-in-the-dark ghost.

Also, this Happy Meal website said that McDonald's is the largest toy distributor in the world.

I love their Halloween pails too. Definitely their teeny beenies and the Barbie toys!

Oh yeah, I also LOVED their Disney princess accessories that they offered last year (a tiara, a mirror, etc.). I wanted that magic wand so bad but never could get my hands on it. :(

Oooh, the Halloween pails were great. So were the gardening things that came with real seeds, like the terrerium and gardening tools. I had my own little garden that summer :)

LOL, this doll was dressed as Minnie Mouse!

You know...I *think* I have one of those in my kids "fastfood" toys bin....

hmmmm...better look

Loved the barbies ones where they had the plastic hard dolls -- those were so cool

Must have been left-over from last year. They all sold out in a snap down here.

OOOHHH...I had forgotten about the Halloween pails. They were wonderful.

Does anyone remember the Barbie snowglobe that was advertised but pulled for some reason? I waited weeks to get that toy!

Also, I really loved the "Babe" movie toys.

I wish they would have American Girl dolls/toys!

I have this collections of toys that were the McDonalds characters, but in disguise.

Like a happy meal that transforms into ronald mcdonald or fries that change into a character. I know I have those up in my attic, but I remember how much I loved playing with them as a kid.
