2016 Ariel Classic 12'' Doll - US Disney Store Purchase - Deboxed - Standing - Full Rear View

2016 Classic Ariel has been completely deboxed. She is standing on her fins, supported by a Kaiser stand (not included with the doll). I have left Flounder out of these photos, to see Ariel better.

 

Detailed photos of the new Classic Ariel doll. I love her face. But most of her hair is very stiff with hair product, so I found it hard to make it neater and fix the stray hairs. Her satin fins are okay, but there is a stained patch (glue?). I like the 2012 Classic Ariel fins better, but these new ones are definitely better than the tulle fins that most recent Classic Ariel dolls have had. Under her glittering tail, she has rubber legs, with fixed angled feet and internal click stop knees. I was going to compare her side by side with last year's Classic Ariel, but I can't find the old Ariel at the moment.
