LE Celebration Merida 18'' Doll and Talking Merida 17'' Doll - Full Front View
The Limited Edition Celebration Merida 18'' Doll is posed side by side with the newly released Talking Merida 17'' Doll.
The Talking Merida Doll is a 17'' inch doll, with the same body and sound mechanism as the Disney Princess Singing dolls. She has articulation in her neck, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. Her feet are fixed in an angled position even though she wears flat shoes (that resemble leather boots). Because her head is flatter (shorter in height) than the other princess dolls, she is actually about 16.25'' tall, rather than the 16.5'' of the Singing Princess Dolls. Because of the LE doll's stand (whose base is 1/2 inch tall), she is apparently 1/2 inch taller than the Talking Merida, although they are actually the same height. She has the same bow as the LE 17'' Merida Doll, with only one arrow (rather than the three of the LE doll) and no quiver. She is wearing a larger version of the Adventure dress and cape that the Classic 12'' Merida wears. The dress is dark teal (blue-green) with gold ruffled trim on the long sleeves and collar. It is satin densely covered with tiny blue glitter, which does shed quite a bit. The cape is a black knit that is very stretchy (the same construction as the cape on the 12'' doll), and tends to stick to the dress. Her hair is the same color and style as the LE 17'' Merida (and 12'' Classic Merida), but is not quite as full or curly. She has the same head mold as the LE 17'' Merida, but her face has a pleasant slightly smiling expression, rather than the fierce determined look of the LE 17'' Merida or the bulging eyes and goofy smirk of the 12'' Classic. She is a very pretty doll, and well worth the price.
