Limited Edition Aurora 17'' Doll - Disneyland 60th Anniversary Purchase - Deboxing - Doll Removed From Backing - Closeup of Certificate of Authenticity
Closeup of the Certificate of Authenticity, still attached to the backing. The doll is numbered 1367 of 3000. The edition number is printed in silver ink.
The back cover of the backing cardboard is opened by pulling out the tabs along the edges of the cover. We can then access the various fasteners securing the doll to the backing. We also see a peek of the Certificate of Authenticity, with its corners sticking through slots in the backing. Then with all the fasteners in the backing snipped, the doll can be removed. However she still has the plastic piece attached to her head, and various other packaging restraints are still on the doll. There is no doll stand, but she can free stand due to the stiffness of her full length skirt. She is stood up next to the backing, which has an image of the Sleeping Beauty Castle decked out for the Diamond Celebration. The CoA is also attached to the backing, and facing forward.
Deboxing my newly purchased DL60 Limited Edition Aurora Doll. First the front cover is taken off the the cardboard backing and base, by cutting the seals around the edges of the cover, and pulling the cover's tabs out of the cardboard slots in the backing. The doll is attached to the backing and base by wires, thread, rubber bands and plastic T-tabs. Her hands are also tied together by a rubber band, and her necklace is secured to her neck by a rubber band. Her cape is tacked to her skirt by T-tabs, and draped over the right side of her skirt, to show it off, and also to get it out of the way of the wire around her waist. There is a small plastic piece behind her head, and her head is tacked to it by two larger T-tabs. Her skirt is securely tacked down to the base, so you can't peek under the skirt to see her shoes.
Detailed photos of the Disney Parks Limited Edition Aurora Doll, part of the Disneyland Resort 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration. She was released on Monday July 13, 2015 at the Disneyland Resort. She was officially announced by the Disney Parks Blog on Friday July 10, 2015, although there was a photo of the doll that was leaked to the internet on Friday June 26, 2015. She is a 17'' doll, with an edition size of 3000, costs $119.95, and is exclusive to Disneyland Resort.
There is no mention on the outside of the box of the edition size or Certificate of Authenticity. However after deboxing the doll, I found out that the CoA is attached to the front of the cardboard backing (facing the back of the doll). My doll is #1367 of 3000.
She appears to be same base doll as the Disney Store 17'' Aurora singing and LE dolls. In particular she has the same head mold and has wrist and elbow joints. She has the body of the older version of DS LE dolls, with no ankle joints, but with an upper torso joint, as well as external hinged knee joints.
Her outfit is completely new, made of satin, velour and organza. She also has jeweled satin fingerless gloves (like detached sleeves). Her crown and necklace are silver plastic with a capital D for Disneyland, but are not jeweled. Her dark blue satin bodice is jeweled. Her organza pleated skirt is divided in to light blue and dark blue sections. It is glittering but without jewels. She has a full length cape of glittering navy blue velour lined with light blue satin.
She has long gently curled hair, and has her signature bangs. She has an open mouthed smile with bright pink lips. She is glancing to her left. She has long gently curled rooted eyelashes. Her eyeshadow and eyeliner is bluish silver.
Her box is a unique design made to look like a long cut diamond. It is six sided, with only the back side being made of cardboard. The other sides are thin plastic, which makes it more fragile than the LE Disney Store boxes. The box of this doll has a small dent on one of the edges of the plastic on the top right. There is a silver rope carrying handle on the top.
After deboxing her, I find out various features of the doll that are not obvious in her boxed pose. It turns out that she has a full length cape of glittering navy blue velour lined with light blue satin. It is attached to the back of her dress by velcro. The cape tends to stick to the glittery organza skirt. Her bodice is separate from her skirt, and the peplum is attached to it. The skirt is pleated and oversized. It is stiff enough to allow her to free stand stably, which partly makes up for the fact that she doesn't come with a doll stand. She is wearing polished silver high heels. She has no ankle joints, but otherwise has the body of a 17 inch Disney Store Limited Edition princess doll. In particular, she has a chest joint that allows her to tilt her upper body slightly back and forth, and side to side. Her hair is a little thin in the back, but her hair can be combed to cover the bald spot. Her long curls are easy to make even, by using your fingers. They are stiffened by hair product. The box can be taken apart without damaging it for deboxing the doll. The doll can then be put back into the box, and the box closed up without too much difficulty.
She is about a quarter the price of the Harrods Blue Aurora 17'' Doll, but compares favorably to that $400 LE 100 doll. She is a very beautiful, well designed and well made doll that is a worthy addition to the Disneyland Diamond Celebration merchandise.
