Disney Fairytale Designer Collection - Store Displays - Release Day 2014-09-02 - Pocahontas and John Smith Doll Set - Portrait Front View
Disney Fairytale Designer Collection merchandise. Pocahontas and John Smith Doll Set.
The Disney Fairytale Designer Collection merchandise on display at my local Disney Store today. It was the release day, and they had all the merchandise in the collection displayed except for the LE Pin Set. All the items were for sale, except for the dolls, which will be released in store and online once a week starting on Tuesday September 23, 2014. The dolls were on a high shelf, and there wasn't a convenient place to put them for viewing a photographing them, so I made do with low angle shots. All the items were better looking in person than online, which is the norm for most Disney merchandise. Cinderella's head was turned around too much to look natural. But it wasn't quite as severe as in the stock photo of her in the display case, so I wouldn't call her Exorcist Head. Her head is definitely attached to a plastic form, so her head turn isn't a random thing that happened during shipping, but is by design. After seeing her in person, she is still my favorite of the Princesses in this release, and her dress looks great both front and back. I bought journals and the Lithograph Set, of which I will post photos shortly. The store wasn't very busy (at noon time), but everyone that looked at the Designer Collection seemed to be impressed.
Here are the release dates of the doll sets (in North America):
Sept 2, 2014. Pre-order complete collection.
Sept 23. Tiana & Prince Naveen. (Online Sep 24)
Sept 30. Pocahontas & John Smith (Online Oct 1)
Oct. 7. Cinderella & Prince Charming (Online Oct 8)
Oct. 14. Mulan & Li Shang. (Online Oct 15)
Oct 21. Aurora & Prince Phillip. (Online Oct 22).
