a husband and son for Midge
By Helen H. Ismail
My nine year old daughter had to have the "Happy Family" set andshe enjoys playing with them very much. She has Midge(sold separately) who can be transformed from pregnant to new mommy by taking off her magnetic "belly" and removing the adorable newborn baby girl. Alan is handsome with his plastered-down hair do and Ryan is a cute little boy with a Tommy-like face. The stroller can lay back so Ryan can nap. I think a better idea would have been to include a double stroller instead of a single so the new baby can ride in it too since the family is supposed to be a set. It reminds me of the Sunshine Family I had (and still have)when I was a child back in the 70's. My daughter got Alan and Ryan, Midge and baby, and the Happy Family nursery set for Christmas and she plays with it every day. I hope Mattel continues to make accessories for this line (despite the "controversy" over Midge's visible pregnancy) for those of uswho carefully and thoughtfully choose toys for our children and believe that these characters promote family values.Bravo, Mattel.

By A Customer
I'm glad they have a toy out that promotes the relationship between father and son. I'm glad the African American version has pretty authentic looking rooted hair. The stroller's pretty durable under adverage stress, destructive children may easily destroy it. The accessories (like the camera) are easier to handle than some itty bitty accessories and proably won't be lost as easily as the baby things in the Midge/baby set. The dolls have survived some rough play, so I think it's a good durable set, more so than Midge/Baby overall.
The only problem I have is that mattle doesn't make an AFRICAN AMERICAN family album to match it's AFRICAN AMERICAN line of this 'Happy Family' set. I have the African American Ryan, Alan, Midge, Baby, and Doctor (hoping to catch the grandparents on sale after the holidays) and the 'Happy Family' album that comes with them shows the caucasian family. I have no problem with the white dolls, I make it a practice to have a diverse set of dolls to represent the world, but the purpose of getting the african-american happy family was to make it look more like ours and it would be nice if I wasn't stuck with the caucasian image every time I added to the 'Happy Family' (with certain playsets for example). It would be nice if a child's album that comes with the doll matched her (or his) doll set.
