Mattel Great Villains Maleficent Doll - Undressing - Reheaded - On Doll Stand With Pink Dress - Full Front View
Mattel Great Villains Maleficent Doll (1998)
I was attempting to undress her, but ran into two major difficulties. Here are the steps I took.
1. In order to remove her robe, first I had to unsnap the straps fastening the front and back parts to each other near her waist.
2. Then I found that the only opening in the robe was one for the neck, and that was very small and inflexible, with no way to widen it.
3. Therefore, the only way I could remove the robe was to remove her head.
4. Pulling and twisting the head finally allowed the head to come apart from the neck articulation (joint). Fortunately, both the joint and the head were fairly flexible and very tough.
5. I could then lift the robe off the doll over the neck.
6. Then I found that the dark pink (magenta) satin dress underneath was sewn permanently together. There was no way to get it off the doll's body without ripping the seams apart, or cutting it off. That was very disappointing. It means that she cannot be fitted with another outfit, and that her outfit cannot be put on another doll.
7. I put her head back on, and took a couple of photos with just her dress on. Without her robe, Maleficent looks a lot less threatening. She reminds me of Lady Tremaine.
