Rare, Vintage, Unopened Smartee Doll: Madison the Marine Biologist, "Smart Girls.
Back in 1999, Jennifer Fine and Jennifer Hamlin introduced a line of dolls designed to show women as professionals—and inspire girls to professions. The dolls reflected the diversity of women in society – and professions. After Oprah applauded the quality and the mission of the dolls and newspapers (including NY Times and LA Times) publicized the new line and the new approach, the dolls were hard to find.
I wanted my two children – a girl and a boy – to see toys that reflected that diversity so I tried to find a number of dolls. I put the dolls on display– some in my office at women’s studies and others in my home. I never opened the boxes, although my kids and my students offered to play with the :liberated” toys. It seems that the American toy market wasn’t ready for suchtoys and the company went out of business.
This is very rare “Madison the Marine Biologist,” produced in 2001. She comes in her original box – the seal has never been broken! She is complete. The book is there, never read – and it apparently comes with a Marine Biologist-in –Training Diploma. Inside you’ll see Madison at work. She’s dressed in a pink and black dress and wears tennis shoes. . She comes with all her accessories – clipboard, pens, whistle, mask, fins, snorkel, compass, airtank, seal, books, shells, ball, tape recorder, chart, underwater video camera, laptop computer, videocassettes, sunglasses and, of course, her brush and comb.The background has the ocean with tide rolling in. Great doll for any person who wants to be a marine biologist. It’s hard to tell how tall she is –probably 11 or 11-1/2 in tall, Box measures 12-1/2 by 7-1/2 when the cover flap is closed. Cellophane is in tact. Book is in place. It’s a great piece. A wonderful toy for this holiday season.
And what makes it even better, a portion of the proceeds ofthis sale goes to the Marine Mammal Center.
