D23 Limited Edition Red Jasmine 17'' Doll - D23 Disney Store Purchase - Deboxed - Lying Down - Skirt Opened - Full Front View

Deboxing my Red Jasmine doll. After removing the backing from box, her skirt is partially freed from the backing to show her shoes and pants. You can see that one of her legs is tied to the doll stand, and the back of her skirt is folded and hiked above the tie. Then she is freed from the backing and the stand, and laid down on the floor.

 

I purchased the D23 Exclusive Limited Edition Red Jasmine 17'' Doll on her release day, Saturday August 15, 2015, from the Disney Store in the D23 Expo 2015. She is a red colored and enhanced variant of the LE 5000 Teal Jasmine, which I pre-ordered on August 4, 2015, and will be released on October 13, 2015. She is LE 500, and costs $119.95.

 

My doll is #226 of 500. She is such a beautiful doll, and is by far my favorite item from the Expo. She is on my desk right now, so I can admire her beauty up close as I work on my computer.

 

One aspect of Jasmine that I haven't mentioned before, and wasn't obvious to me when she was still boxed, is the distinct golden tone of her torso. Her head and arms have a more normal pinkish tan color. It's almost as if she got the Goldfinger treatment on her torso, both front and back. By the way, her painted on panties are gold colored, and not red as you might have guessed.

 

Her hair is massive and very heavy. It is permanently styled into a fancy puffy pony tail, the bottom third of which is heavily gelled to keep its curl. The upper two thirds are nice and soft. The weight of her hair make her tilt to the back and to her right, unless she is carefully posed and balanced in her stand. I didn't like the way the stand was placed behind her skirt, severly crimping it in the back. Fortunately, the slit at the waist of the skirt/pants combo was large enough to place the top of the display stand through it, so the post is inside of her skirt, instead of behind it.

 

I'm don't know if all the Red Jasmine dolls have the same golden tint, but I don't mind it too much. It gives her an otherworldly aura, and in my mind doesn't detract from the beauty of her face and outfit and jewelry.

 

I will post photos of Red Jasmine boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed.
