Okay, so call me a little biased. I first discovered Melanie's Mall in the back of my parents closet five days before Christmas in 1996. I was snooping around for presents and discovered three large boxes with "Melanie's Mall" written in large, pink font near the top. Being the spoiled kid I was back then, I was actually a little disappointed that I didn't discover any Barbies or Polly Pockets. Nevertheless, I was interested to learn more about this new-found toy and to find out what it had to offer my personal toy collection.
Christmas morning, I opened my presents and pretended to act surprised when I unwrapped my Melanie's Mall sets. The first set included a purple runway, a number of fashionable outfits, and, of course, a blonde Melanie doll. The second set was a beautiful ice skating rink with both a Melanie doll and a male doll who I named Jimmy after my crush at school (duh). The final set was the inside of a mall, complete with an escalator, clothing store, and pink water fountain.
By the end of December, I was living vicariously through Melanie's Mall, and by about February of the following year I owned every single piece of the collection. Similar to my Polly Pockets, I'm sad to say that all of my Melanie's Mall toys are currently collecting dust in my attic...*sigh.*
Until next time,
Mel

ReplyDeleteDo you still have those Melanie's Mall toys now? If so, are you willing to sell them?
