Blue Gown Cinderella - Disney Film Collection Doll - Disney Store Purchase - Deboxed - Standing - Full Left Side View

The Disney Store's Cinderella Disney Film Collection doll in the blue Royal Ball gown. She is fully deboxed and posed standing, supported by a Kaiser stand.

 

The Disney doll is nice, but the Mattel doll wins in almost every way. The hair style on the Disney doll is nicer, although neither is very accurate (the promo images of the Mattel show hair that is more accurate than the actual dolls that I have seen). The DS shoes are more movie accurate, but I like the totally clear Mattel shoes better, since they look more like glass. The DS doll's face has a pout, and the Mattel doll has a more pleasant expression, but the DS doll has more personality. The Disney doll's head is larger (like most DS dolls), whereas the Mattel doll has better proportioned head. The Disney gown is bulky and much less accurate than the Mattel gown, although the skirt's stiffness and the petticoat makes it keep it's shape very well. The Mattel gown is truly magical, and flowing, with double layered purple tulle over blue satin. It is much wider than the Disney gown, and the tulle overskirt helps keep its shape. It has many delicate 3D butterflies of different shapes and sizes, made of thin fabric covered in glitter, and attached to the tulle portions of the gown (shoulder and skirt). There are also smaller flat silver glitter butterflies throughout the skirt. The Disney Store has far fewer butterflies, only being in the shoulders of the gown. They are made of thick iridescent plastic, with embedded crystals. There is also glitter throughout the gown, which does shed quite a bit, as well as rhinestones in the organza overskirt. The only area where the Disney Store doll definitely wins is in articulation. The Mattel doll has stiff arms and legs, made of hard plastic, with the arms in fixed but differing poses. The Disney doll has jointed elbows, wrists and knees (internal) that are lacking in the Mattel doll, so she is much more posable. The legs are made of rubbery plastic, that is prone to glitter sticking on them, and this doll has this problem that is common with DS dolls. Finally, the Mattel doll's box is much more impressive and reusable than the Disney one. It is also much wider, allowing for the gown to shown in its full extent, rather than being cramped in a narrow box like the the Disney Store one.
