Two additional toys-the Atari® 2600 game system and the kite-were also admitted into the hall, bringing the total number of current toy inductees to 38.Ĭhristopher Bensch, Vice President for Collections at Strong, says the hall was remiss in separating the rag doll duo: “Some things were just meant to be together-macaroni and cheese fireworks and the Fourth of July and, of course, Raggedy Ann & Andy. (Big sister Raggedy Ann was inducted into the hall in 2002). Raggedy Andy’s™ little broken heart was mended today when, after five long years, he was finally reunited with his famous sister Raggedy Ann™ in the National Toy Hall of Fame® at Strong National Museum of Play® in Rochester, New York.
