The Island Of Misfit Toys

[mac56]

Did anyone else think the misfit toys on the island were cooler than the usual toys?

And we can plainly see why most of them were "misfits": square wheels, a lion with wings, etc. But what made the little girl doll a misfit? Maybe she wasn't anatomically correct...?

1. that got me wondering..... found this....

That extra attention has made many people ask what made that little doll such a misfit. I am reasonably confident that I have finally found the answer. The original Misfit Toys were all for boys (this was 1964!). With the fleeting scene during the first airing, my theory is that they needed a ‘girl toy,’ so the “Doll for Sue” was created.

The reality: She was a last-minute add-on misfit toy so the young girls watching had a toy they could relate to. What made her a misfit toy? It’s as plain as the nose on your face. More precisely, it’s the nose missing from her face. Mystery solved. -
