Millennium Princess Barbie Happy Meal

I've covered the Happy Meal in great detail with the McDonald's Millennium Teenie Beanie Baby premium, but this is a "standard" Happy Meal giveaway rather than an additional, higher-end purchase.

It's modeled after the Millennium Princess doll with the blue dress, as featured in one of the earlier exhibits, the Hallmark ornament.

For a Happy Meal giveaway, she's pretty well-made! The dress is real cloth, which I wasn't expecting, and what's more, it's either velveteen or flocked to give it the texture of velvet. Face is well-sculpted and painted, even though she's got a little bit of the judgey-eyes going on. "'Ello! I know the choices you've made, and I find them lacking."

As you can see in the top picture, she has a base that looks like part of the Times Square Millennium Ball.

A very nice little addition to the Museum's exhibits.

Coming soon...the VIDEO REVIEWS!

In hindsight, that "Millennium Vacation" board game would have made for a good video review.

No matter. I have two--that's TWO--board games to fulfill that purpose.

First up, coming later this year, will be the "Millenniumopoly" board game, produced by Late to the Sun Games.

Second, coming even later this year, will be...the Collector's Edition Monopoly Millennium game.

Latest eBay purchase: Millennium Princess Barbie Happy Meal. I think I've covered the Happy Meal as a part of pop culture a few years ago, but it might be good for a refresher.
