Pocahontas and John Smith Doll Set - Disney Fairytale Doll Collection - Disney Store Purchase - Deboxing - Pocahontas Deboxed - Lying Down - Full Front View #1

Pocahontas is now completely deboxed. She is lying down, with her hair braids by her sides. She has the same body and head as the 2014 Classic Pocahontas doll, but with obvious changes to her face and hair. Her external hinged knee joints are largely hidden by the trim of her dress, and her articulated ankles enable her to stand flat footed.

 

Deboxing Pocahontas. She has been freed from the large plastic spacer, but her right foot is still attached to a small plastic piece at the base. She is also tied to the doll stand that supports her, and her shawl is tied down in various places. There are also two rubber bands around her hair, which are in two sections. The rubber bands are removed, and her hair moved out of the way so I can remove the wire around her waist. Her golden crown has come apart in the back. The tiny post on one end that goes into a tiny hole on the other end doesn't stay in very well. Her shawl is raised so we can undo the wire around her left leg, tying her to the doll stand. Her right foot is freed from the plastic holder on the base, and now she can be freed from the doll stand. She is placed face down on a counter to continue the deboxing process. First I cut the plastic fasteners tying the shawl to itself and to her dress. I leave alone a couple of the fasteners that tighten the shawl around her wrists, so that the shawl doesn't fall off her arms. The next step is to tidy up her hair by combing it out. In the process a large amount of her hair came out, but not enough to affect her appearance. Her hair was still very full, and there were not any visible bald spots. Her hair was straight and free from hair product (except right around the front of her face). But the top was messy, and it was tangled, especially near the ends. It also got a little frizzy after combing. There are two thin full length braids on either side of her head, that were largely hidden under her hair when she was boxed. The last step is to snap the two ends of her crown together.

 

Deboxing the Pocahontas and John Smith Doll Set. The slip cover and acrylic covers have been taken off, so the dolls are in clear view in the display case. The dolls are attached to the built in doll stands, and to the plastic and cardboard backing. Then the backing was opened up by cutting the tape holding it together on the edges. The tabs and wires are now accessible so the dolls can be removed from the backing. The backing was cut off from the base after the dolls were freed from the backing. The dolls are now attached to the large plastic spacer and two smaller ones, by rubber bands, plastic t-tabs and wires. They are now removed from plastic spacers. John Smith can now be taken from the doll stand. Pocahontas is still attached to the doll stand by additional restraints. Photo taken in daylight.

 

Photos of my Limited Edition Pocahontas and John Smith 12'' Designer Doll Set. Second of five releases in the 2014 Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. I purchased them in store on the release day, Tuesday Sept. 30, 2014. They are #1352 of 6000, and cost $129.95. I think these dolls follow the artwork very well, and look very good together. I like the colors and textures of Pocahontas' outfit and accessories much better than the original Designer Pocahontas doll (released in October 2011). I also think her face is prettier and her expression gentler and more natural. John Smith also has a good expression, and doesn't look as bland as most of the other Designer Princes. The couple are presented side by side in the box, so are both very well shown.
