✨ The Wizard of Oz – Mattels Movie Editions

   26. Juli 2021

Since 1995 Mattel presents regulary new Barbie editions related to the movie classics Wizard of Oz from 1939. Although the film is really old, it’s still very popular in the USA, from which Mattel also benefits. The six main characters were produced in numerous Barbie editions. And of course all Stars were also produced in Kelly size.

Unfortunately we are missing some doll photos. If you can help with pictures of your dolls, we would be very happy 🙂

Seit 1995 präsentiert Mattel regelmäßig alle paar Jahre eine neue Barbie Edition zum Filmklassiker Wizard of Oz (Der Zauberer von Oz). Obwohl der Film (ersch. 1939) schon so alt ist, erfreut er sich in den USA ungebrochen großer Beliebtheit, wovon auch Mattel mit guten Verkaufszahlen profitiert. Die sechs Hauptfiguren  gibt es bislang in sechs großen Wizard of Oz Editionen. Desweiteren hat Mattel vier Sondereditionen mit weiblichen Darstellern und eine Kelly Edition herausgebracht.

Bei den ersten Editionen ging es mehr darum, die Filmfiguren als Dolls zu gestalten. Später wurde auch den Schauspielern gebührende Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet und die Dolls bekamen sculpted to likness Köpfe.

Von einigen Puppen fehlen uns noch Bilder, wenn du uns mit Fotos von deinen Puppen helfen willst, freuen wir uns sehr 🙂
