‘Oz’ toys roar into March: Celebrate 75th anniversary of the ‘Wizard’

Lions, and scarecrows, and tin men, oh my!

In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the release of Victor Fleming’s iconic Technicolor film, “The Wizard of Oz,” Mattel is re-releasing its Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow dolls on its Pink Label Collection. The lion doll, whose face recalls the wonderful performance by actor Bert Lahr, is spruced up after a visit to the Emerald City, with a curled mane topped with a red bow and his badge of courage upon his chest. The lion also comes with a green crown and a doll stand.

For children 6 years and older, there will be no place like a home with this 12-inch-tall friend.
