D23 Ivory Snow White Doll Set - Disney Fairytale Designer Collection - 2013 D23 Expo Exclusive - Disney Store - First Look - Deboxing - The Prince Deboxed - Lying Down - Full Front View
The Prince has been fully deboxed, and is lying down on a counter.
The Prince's outfit is very well made and fitted to his body. It consists of a dark brown faux leather vest, a deep red velvet and satin cape permanently attached at the shoulders of the vest, a dark brown belt with a gold metal buckle and a short black faux leather scabbard attached, white satin shirt, black pants and black boots with a worn look on top. In the scabbard is a gold sword. He appears to have the standard Prince body, with articulation at the neck, shoulders, hinge jointed elbows, ball jointed hips, and internal knee joints with limited movement. His hands and feet are huge, but his head is disproportionately small compared to Snow White. His face has a neutral expression, with small, narrow deep blue eyes, wide mouth and a straight nose. His molded dark brown hair looks okay. His face doesn't look that movie accurate to me; I actually prefer the playline Classic Prince. As with all Disney Prince dolls, he is sturdily built, and can free stand fairly stably. But for safe keeping, it is best to put him up in the included doll stand, which has a wide C-clamp that goes around his waist very snuggly.
During the deboxing I make the surprising discovery that Snow White has the body of a 2012 Disney Store Classic Princess doll. That is, she has hard plastic legs, with hinged knee joints and ball jointed ankles. She is also wearing golden tan flat shoes (or slippers), rather than the polished golden high heels that I was expecting. Also notice that the underskirt isn't a petticoat, but rather a slip. The slip was sewn to the outer golden skirt in two places, but it would be easy to snip those threads off. The Prince's cape was deep red velvet over a deep red satin lining, with gold piping. The feel of the cape is very nice, but not as luxurious as the 17'' LE Snow White's cape.
Deboxing the Ivory Snow White Designer Fairytale Doll Set. The cardboard sleeve and acrylic enclosure have been removed. The dolls are still attached to the cardboard backing, plastic spacers and base by wires, plastic tabs and rubber bands. They are also supported by the built in doll stands. Next the backing has been opened up, and the tabs and wires loosened so the spacers and dolls can be removed from the backing. They are still attached to the large spacer. The rear portion of the backing is then cut off from the base, leaving the bottom portion of the backing between the base and the dolls. The spacer is then removed from the dolls, and then the wires attaching them to the doll stands.
First look at the Ivory Snow White Doll Set (Snow White and the Prince), a Limited Edition of only 600 sets worldwide. Part of the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. A 2013 D23 Expo Exclusive, produced by the Disney Store. My doll set is #114 of 600. Purchased August 9, 2013. Snow White is 11.5'' H, the Prince is 12'' H. They are in a display case with built in doll stands, clear acrylic cover, golden base and nameplate and richly decorated protective cardboard sleeve. The set comes with a gift bag decorated with artwork of all five Prince and Princess couples in the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection.
From the box notes:
With lips as red as the rose and skin as white as snow, this Princess is certainly the fairest of them all. Whether singing in a cottage or dancing at the Royal Ball, Snow White proves true beauty always from within.
Tonight she is a vision to behold in a shimmering satin gown richly embroidered with gold. And upon love's first kiss from her Prince, all of her dreams come true!
Romantic side-swept hair and dramatic lace collar frame her face. Elaborately embroidered bodice. Layered gown is ornately decorated with golden gemstones and lace detail. Embroidered foliage design adds enchanting effect.
Luxurious cape and costuming befit our Prince handsomely. Puffed sleeves, belt buckle, boots and sword add the finishing touches.
