Hi Brian,
It’s just a thought, but- the Big Mac [tm] slippers don’t look very complicated to make.
If you really want to own a pair of them- you could probably find someone who does- amateur or cottage industry…push toys making or sewing, who can, for a fee: make a close-copy of the Big Mac heads…and then sew them onto some regular slippers for you.

You can probably find sewing-type people, who will make this item for you: 1) at your local sewing or handicrafts clubs…or meetings, or on the sites- etsy [dot] com, or on ebay [dot] com.

Just my view- if you meet a sewing enthusiast, in person, + they like the idea, and you hire them to make these slippers- they might take that job- because they will be [really] excited to take on an unusual project like that.
(That was a long comment. Sorry. It seemed like a small comment, before I wrote it.) ;D

Cheers,

TRA

Each Action Girl came with her own comic? Look at that artwork!

I wonder if they reached out to professional comic book artists, like Mattel did, landing Alfredo Alcala for Masters of the Universe mini comics. There might be some hidden gems there.

I like the movie set-type playset for Action Girl. With its purple dress, I first thought maybe it was a toy from Disney’s film- Frozen.
I miss Ronald Mcdonald + Mcdonaldland!
I heard that Ronald was pulled from ads because some parents complained that the Ron. ads were, “trying to encourage kids to eat at Mcdonald’s.”…what family-style restaurant doesn’t? Maybe Ron just wasn’t selling anymore. Thinking of that- Spongebob [tm] sells frozen dinners at my grocery store. Ha!
I like the Grover jewelry! Why is he with a horse? Maybe Grover runs the petting zoo…at his town’s farmer’s market, or something. 😀
