Madame Alexander Doll Collection

The Madame Alexander Collection is housed in the Special Collections & University Archives (SCUA) at the OSU Library. Listen to archivist Benjamin Hedges to learn more about what kind of dolls make up the collection and how they made their way to OSU. To learn more about SCUA, visit: archives.library.okstate.edu
Around 02:40, Ben misspoke. While there are not dolls made to represent characters from "Nightmare On Elm Street," Madame Alexander made a collection of dolls from "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas."

I'm glad the university has the collection, but the video should have shown more of the dolls.

This is such a great collection. Ben does a great job with the Alice in Wonderland collection. I'll be taking my class in to visit Wonderland with Ben next semester!

This is neat. I was tickled by the minor error made when he meant to say the Disney movie Nightmare Before Christmas but said Nightmare on Elm Street

[@jamesallenraynes]

There is no Nightmare on Elm street Madame Alexander doll.

[@OkStateLibrary]

Great catch! We misspoke! Looks like there's a collection for "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

Creo que se debió mostrar la colección más que a quién habla 😕

Madame Alexander ruined her whole line because she said that she would never sell her licensing/brand and name so that when she passed the dolls would be worth a lot, you know kinda like when an artist dies, BUT NOOOOOOOO she lied and did indeed sell her brand name so that they could continue to manufacture, mass producing more dolls and I believe still do so. So, because of that everyone’s collection went way down in value. Dolls that would have been worth thousands now are being sold for 20/25 dollars! It’s horrible. Her name WAS an art form, now it’s just another “Fisher Price” brand. Very sad. 😢
