Hands Across The World

This group of dolls was made for a McDonalds Collection by Ashton-Drake Galleries, but the project was eventually abandoned. One prototype set was auction for Ronald McDonald House and brought $10,000. Because the collection was never produced, that group became a one-of-a-kind set and is now in a private collection.
