When this set first came out, Some parents advocate does not consider pregnant Midge as educational as Mattel was hoping to send message across. In stead, those parents complained that the pregnant Midge doll was inappropriate for children to play, sending the wrong message, that pregnant Midge promoted teen pregnancy. Because of that controversial issue, Mattel pulled out Happy Family playset line from the market shelf. But ToysRus continued to sell until they were out of stock.
To save a product line, Mattel recreated Midge in 2003, with a ring and without the baby bump along with grandparents and accessories. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out. All together, all playsets for happy family line was short-lived. As always the controversial Mattel Happy Family lines are still sought after,leading to be rare and collectible line.

About Me:
My parents,brothers and sisters escaped from Cambodia ,seeked rescue in Refugee camp in Thailand near Cambodian border 1979, while Khmer rouge resistances still fought with Vietnamese-Cambodian coalitions. On November, 1980, my whole family was brought to the United States by Lutheran Church. We had nothing started out. I helped with making ends meet during my high school
years, by cleaning the houses of elderly church members.I was given used stuffs to bring home.
In college, I worked for Antiques college mall. That was when I fall in love with antiques or Vintages at very early age. Even after making good income as software developer, I still do treasure hunting at Goldwills,salvation army,yard sale,auction ,antique shops etc
Thankfully, Etsy came to the rescue for selling my collection. Every sale I make, I hope my customers are excited as I am.I love estate sale. Your purchase helps my treasure hunting addiction. I don’t really make money on ceramic potteries, glasswares as shipping cost and packing materials are high. It just a labor of love. Thank you for browsing.Bunthy
