2013-2016 Classic Snow White Dolls Compared - Disney Store Purchases - Full Front View
Here are side by side comparisons of the 2013 through 2016 Disney Store Classic Princess 12 inch dolls. I start out with Snow White, the first Disney Princess and also my favorite Disney character.
Their faces are all identical as far as I can tell. Except that the latest one has slightly paler and pinker skin on her face as well as the rest of her body, which is a welcome change to me. They are all glancing to the left (their right), have dark pink lips that are full and slightly open in a charming smile.
They are all supposed to have the same bobbed hair style, but only the 2013 doll has very neat hair that is close to the correct style. They all have red satin ribbons in their hair, but only the 2013 doll has an actual bow. Since then the 'bows' are actually flat pieces of satin sewn to look like a bow.
They all have the same style outfits: blue bodices with puff sleeves and high white collar, red capes, golden yellow skirts and yellow flats. Their skirts changed between glitter patterns and uniform glitter in alternate years. I prefer the latter, although it does shed quite a bit, and is especially troublesome on their sticky rubber legs. The 2015 skirt hardly shed glitter at all, and also had jewel embellishments, which none of the other dolls had. The 2016 skirt has a denser layer of glitter than the 2014 one, which makes it stiffer and helps it keep a fuller shape. The best outfit was the 2014 one, with velvet bodice and cape, and a double layer hemmed satin collar. The 2014 and 2015 capes were removable, so it is disappointing that the current doll has a cape that is permanently sewn to the back of her dress, just below the collar. It also doesn't drape very well, being encrusted with red glitter.
They have the same bodies (except for the skin color change in the 2016 doll), with rubber legs, click stop internal knee joints, and ball jointed neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. It might just be a factory variance, but i feel that this year's doll has looser joints than the older dolls.
The biggest change (and improvement) in this year's doll is the addition of a bluebird sidekick figurine. It's little claws fit snuggly over Snow's index finger or thumb, and mimics the bluebird included with the 2009 LE Snow White 17'' doll, although it is much less detailed.
