Madcap Molly is a “doll” made from flat, hard plastic that walks and does other activities when activated. She has a coiled balance spring inside her, that you wind with a key similar to a clock. Once the spring is tightened, Molly will then take off walking, skiing, or riding on her scooter. The box measures 16.75″ wide x 13.75″ tall x 4.5″ deep. Molly herself measures about 12″ tall. The toy was sold by Kenner in the early 1970’s.
The front cover of the box includes the following text:
JUST WIND HER UP… SHE SHOPS, SHE SKIS, SHE SCOOTERS, SHE WALKS! NO BATTERIES
SET COMPLETE WITH:
-MADCAP MOLLY

Hi Sharon,
You should be able to find one on ebay for around $20. Just check often, and good luck with the hunt!
