Whenever a favorite character has a
big anniversary year, there is sure to be special toy editions to celebrate and
they are always showcased at Toy Fair.
Here are some favorites from Toy Fair NY this year. These are my own photos so they may have
other stuff in the background – but hey they are my actual pictures not a perfect
but sterile shot.

Barbie’s
60th Anniversary celebrated by Mattel
Barbie turns 60 this year and my she
is well preserved – she doesn’t age at all!
This is the 60th Anniversary Collector’s model and for her
diamond anniversary she is wearing a “diamond like” sparkly gown. Her hair is in a beautiful dress up ponytail
and her bright red lipstick and earrings complete the look. The $60 price tag includes a certificate of
authenticity.

Madeline’s
80th Anniversary celebrated by Yottoy
Can you believe that Madeline is 80
years old this year? I remember discovering Madeline in the local library as a
child and I loved this book. So did lots
of other little girls as this was a well used book in our library. Then I bought Madeline books for my daughter
and she loved them too. Yottoy
specializes in toys to compliment children’s favorite books. Madeline, Genevieve (my Mom's middle name) and this cute tea set are
perfect gifts to celebrate her 80th year. The tea set is a little pricey but the cloth tablecloth and napkins with the M monogram....24 pieces in all....lots of imaginative play value. |
