Sea Witch Ursula 9'' Limited Edition Doll (Mattel, 1997) - Great Villains Collection - Disney Collector Doll - First Look - Deboxed - Ursula on Display Stand - Portrait Right Front View #1

Ursula and the accessories have been deboxed. The display stand is assembled. It consists of a long clear plastic rod that fits snuggly into a black plastic base, with a purple nameplate in front. Ursula is placed on the stand by inserting the rod into the middle of her underside. She is very stable, and her tentacles can be posed in various positions. I decided to leave a tentacle attached to the fork of the trident, to make it more stable. With her sitting a couple of inches above the base, it appears as though she is floating in air. With a blue background, it can be imagined that she is floating or swimming under the sea.

 

Deboxing Sea Witch Ursula. The backing has been removed from the box, with Ursula and most of the accessories attached. The top of the backing was stuck to the top front of the box with double sticky tape, which I loosened taking care not to damage the box or the backing. The paper Certificate of Authenticity, reply card and 2-year warranty card were all loosely placed behind the backing. The rubberbands securing her necklace to her neck and the trident to her hand and tentacle had deteriorated with age, and basically disintegrated when I tried to remove them during the deboxing. There were wires securing her body and tentacles to the backing, which all came off very easily.

 

My newly acquired Sea Witch Ursula 9'' Limited Edition Doll (Mattel, 1997). She is the third installment in the Great Villains Collection, and is a Disney Collector Doll. She is the main villain in Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989). She is by far the best and most movie accurate version of Ursula ever made. Although she is only 9'' tall, her tentacles stretch 12'' across and about 9'' deep. When she is placed on her include custom stand, she stands about 12'' tall to the top of her crown, which puts her on an even footing with Classic sized Disney Princesses and Princes. She comes with a golden trident and crown that she took from King Triton and a golden shell necklace holding Ariel's voice. She has rooted golden blonde hair with greenish tint on the sides. Her makeup is bright and bold and her supersized wide open mouth is in an evil toothy smile. She has dark purple seashell earrings and red painted fingernails. Her skin on her face, arms and torso is a light purple. Her lower body is plush, covered in a black velvet ''dress''. The six long tentacles are articulated with internal wires, with their top black velvet and the underside a dark purple satin with purple sequins as suckers. I got Ursula second hand, but in a near mint condition sealed box.

 

The text of the box notes:

 

Spilling evil from every tentacle. Spelling trouble for Ariel. Nasty, nautical Ursula from Disney's animated film, The Little Mermaid, has reached the surface -- in epic proportions -- as an authentic collector doll.

 

Displayed in an ominous setting with her dastardly sidekicks Flotsam and Jetsam, everyone's favorite voluptuous villain is enveloped in a soft, velveteen fashion -- an ironic contrast to her hard-hearted, cunning ways. Only Ursula could pull off such a look!

 

Sea Witch Ursula is third in a series of collector dolls inspired by great Disney villains. Each doll from the Great Villains Collection(TM) is showcased in surroundings that capture an unforgettable moment from the film.

 

Certificate of Authenticity, reply card and doll stand included.
