2017 Ariel Wedding Classic Doll - 11 1/2'' - Disney Store Purchase - Deboxing - Freed From Backing - Closeup Rear of Head and Hair
Deboxing Wedding Ariel. The top of the box is opened, and the backing card is slid out. Then she is removed from the backing card, and laid down for inspection and to continue the deboxing. I see that she has flat feet and shoes, and she has a large bald spot in the back of her head, which fortunately I could comb over.
The 2017 Disney Classic Doll Collection was released by the Disney Store on the morning of July 18, 2017 online. That was conveniently after the 25% off Friends and Family sale ended. Some of the dolls were also at my local Disney Store the same day. I bought all the new Princess dolls they had, plus Flynn Rider (to keep my Tangled: The Series Rapunzel dolls company). I was most excited to get the new Mulan doll, now in her green dress, and the Wedding Ariel doll. They were all $16.95, but I was able to use my D23 coupon to take 15% off the price (so they were $14.40 plus tax). The remaining 2016 dolls in stock were reduced to $9.99, but I didn't get any of those.
I debox Wedding Ariel, and show her side by side with the original Once Upon a Wedding Ariel doll, which was released in early 2011, and never re-released. This new Wedding Ariel has the new 2017 Ariel base doll, and a simplified version of the 2011 gown. She has a half length aqua green mesh veil, as opposed to the full length veil of the original. The dress is much narrower than the original, and she has white flats rather than heels. In fact, she has flat feet, which is new for Disney Store Princess dolls with rubber legs, and cannot wear heels. This is the new style for all the Disney Store classic Princess dolls, which is too bad as not even Cinderella will have heels. Finally she is missing the corsage that the original had. I have misplaced the corsage of my original doll, which is why she isn't holding one. The original Wedding Ariel is about a 1/4 inch taller than the new one because she is wearing high heels rather than flats. Their actual heights are 11 1/2 versus 11 1/4 inches.
