There is perhaps no toy more appropriate for this beloved AMC television series than the Mad Men Paper Dolls. Retro just like the show itself is, it allows girls (and boys) to have fun dressing one of two characters (Joan Harris or Megan Draper) in some very stylish digs. Considering that the show is known for its fashion inspiration, it is not surprising that such a creation will also appeal to adults.
Illustrated by Dyna Moe, a freelance illustrator and an all-purpose multimedia comedian based in New York City, the Mad Men Paper Dolls are based on costumes made by Janie Bryant. The perfect game to usher in the last season of the hit series with, they can even be framed as art.
