2013 Classic Disney Princess Cinderella 12'' Doll - Disney Store - First Look - Deboxed - Standing - Closeup Front View
My brand new 2013 Classic Cinderella doll has been fully deboxed. She is posed standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand (not included with the doll). She is photographed from various angles.
The 2013 Classic Cinderella doll has many differences from the 2012 model, most of which are improvements in my view. She has the same head and almost the same face as the 2012 doll, but her hair and dress are significantly changed. She is also wearing light blue flats, and not her iconic glass slippers. As with all the new Classic Princess dolls, she has rubber legs with internal knee joints and fixed angled feet. There are also minor changes to her headband, choker and gloves. I like this doll much better than last year's, and she represents the movie character much more faithfully.
Her head mold has remained the same, but there are some subtle changes in her face. She has eyes that are a lighter shade of blue, glancing to her left. She now has four eyelashes instead of three over her left eye, the right eye still has three lashes. She has silver eyeshadow, as before, and light brown eyelashes that are mostly hidden by her front bangs. She has a thin, straight nose. She has a thin upper lip and full lower lips, in a slightly open mouthed smile. Her lips are now a hot pink color (possibly shading towards salmon), instead of the bright purplish pink lips of last year's model. Her pink rouge is applied more heavily on her cheeks. The changes make her look more mature, and closer to the movie character. Her face is lively, cheerful, confident and beautiful. She has pale flesh colored skin that is smooth but not shiny.
Her hairstyle is back to the more conservative 2011 style. Gone is the solitary curl on her left side and the smurf shaped bun. Her front curly bangs are now larger, and her bun is fan shaped, and a very short pony tail sticks out the back of it. This style is simpler and more elegant than last year's style. There doesn't appear to be any gel used in her hair, so it is soft to the touch. Her hair is her usual light blonde color, although her movie character has strawberry blonde hair.
Her gown is much improved over the 2012 model, in looks and movie accuracy. Her bodice and skirt are made of pale blue satin with a silver swirling pattern that incorporates heart and 'C' shapes. The decoration is covered in a thick layer of silver glitter, that sheds easily and profusely. She has short puffy white satin sleeves and large round peplum of unhemmed white satin. She has 3/4 length what satin gloves, that are shorter and looser fitting than last year's. Her black satin choker is tighter on her neck than last years, so it stays in place. It is sewn closed in the back, so is not removable. Her blue satin headband is a little darker and shorter than last years, with a longer elastic band connecting the ends in the back.
Her shoes are pale blue flats that have the same construction as the ones that Mulan normally wears. Their soles are rounded upwards at the toes. This design looks better on a doll with angled feet, than would the 2012 style flats, which had very flat soles. However, she would look much better with the clear high heels that the 2012 doll wore, that matches the iconic glass slippers that are so important to the fairy tale.
Her body is fully articulated in the arms, but now has the rubber legs of 2011 and earlier dolls, which has internal knee joints and fixed angled feet. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the fully articulated 2012 legs, but when exposed the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable. Also the glitter tends to stick to the rubber legs, and it cannot simply be brushed off.
The packaging for the dolls is much improved. The box art has been completely redesigned, with beautiful decorations unique to each Princess (actually for each movie), and a cameo of the animated movie character. The boxes are the same height and width, but are 1/2'' flatter, making them smaller and lighter.
The 2013 Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection, released on June 10, 2013. They consist of 11-12'' articulated dolls of the 11 official Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Merida, as well as Princes, Villains and Sidekicks. I now have all 11 Princesses, Queen Elinor, Charlotte and Gaston. I will photograph them boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. I will also post reviews and comparative photos.
