Review of 2014 Classic Rapunzel Doll
There are many changes to this doll from the 2013 model, and most of them are for the better. The most significant and obvious changes are to her outfit. It is now much more movie accurate and attractive. The satin skirt is now a deeper shade of purple, has printed floral designs in dark purple in the center panel, light pink floral appliques on the border of the outer skirt. The purple glitter in her skirt is in a spray pattern, rather than in a floral pattern. She has a V-neck rather than a square neck in her bodice. Finally she has sheer pink sleeves below the puffy pink and purple shoulders. It now approaches the appearance of original Rapunzel doll's outfit (2010 Disney Store release, or 2011 - 2013 Disney Parks releases). She is barefoot, as was the 2013 doll.
She has the same face sculpt as the 2012 and 2013 doll, but her face paint has been improved. Her eyebrows are slightly darker. She has two short, thick eyelashes at the corner of each eye, rather than the two on her right eye and three on her left that the previous model had. The eyelashes are also slightly thinner and shorter. Her eyes have the most significant changes. The irises are larger and the pupils are smaller and more centered. The eyes are now brighter due to the smaller pupils and larger area of light green in the iris. Her glance to her upper right is less severe. Her lips are a light shade of pink, and less purple. Finally the blush on her cheeks and bridge of her nose are darker. She follows the new Merida in have darker blush, perhaps following the example of the Frozen sisters. Overall, her face is prettier and sweeter looking.
Her hair is about 11'' long, so doesn't quite reach the floor. It is slightly shorter than that of the 2013 doll. It was also more tangled out of the box. After combing out the tangles, it got was a bit frizzy, so is a bit less smooth and shiny than the 2013 doll, who has excellent hair. The curved bang above her forehead is much less pronounced than in the 2013 doll, and has much less hair product in it, so is still soft and pliable. The color of her hair is a slightly darker shade of yellow than the 2013 doll. Even though the quality of her hair is not quite as good as the 2013 doll, the less severe bang makes her hairdo look more natural, and her face more open.
She has the same body as the 2013 doll. She has ball jointed neck, fully articulated arms, rubber legs that have limited articulation in the knees, and fixed angled feet. A big difference from the 2013 doll is that they protected the sticky rubber legs from being covered with glitter from her skirt.
She has no accessories.
