D23 Snow White Doll Set - Disney Fairytale Designer Collection - 2013 D23 Expo Exclusive - Disney Store - First Look - Deboxed - On Display Stand - Full Left Side View
The D23 Snow White and her Prince have been fully deboxed, and then placed back on the included doll stand.
I make the surprising discovery that Snow White has the body of a 2012 Disney Store Classic Princes 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.
Not only does she have the 2012 Classic Princess play doll body, but she is missing the usual manufacturer's marks, including the part number and her edition size and serial number. She is also missing the twist waist joint of the previous Designer Princess and Designer Villain dolls. After closing up her dress, she is now fully deboxed. Her braided ponytail is attached to the collar of her dress, but I choose to leave it alone, as I do not want to risk damaging her hair or her dress.
Her outfit is a gold variant of the dress on the normal Designer Fairytale Snow White doll. Her bodice and skirt are separate pieces. The bodice is golden tan satin with gold piping and elaborate gold embroidery, and decorated with a bow made of metallic gold thread. She has puffy sleeves with separate bands of the same golden tan satin. The sleeves have lace cuffs decorated with gold hearts, and the oversized collar is white lace decorated with gold thread. Her skirt is golden silver satin with golden embroidering incorporating fleur-de-lis, flowers and hearts. It has a thin pale tan satin lining. There are golden rhinestones scattered throughout the bodice and skirt of her dress. Under her dress is a floor length white satin slip with the lacey pattern at the hem showing below her skirt. It is sewn to her skirt at two places, which I chose to leave alone for now. A truly remarkable outfit fit for royalty.
Her face mold appears to be the same as the 2013 Classic Snow White, but with a considerably different face paint. She has large dark brown eyes that are glancing to her left, with four short thick lashes over each eye and four very short and thin lashes under each eye. Over her eyes is gold eyeshadow, and thin black eyebrows gently following the curve of her eyes. She also had short rooted eyelashes that are just barely curving upwards, and are even in length. She has a small button nose, a small mouth with blood red lips forming a charming open mouth smile. She has light pink rouge over most of her cheeks, and a round face with small chin. She is a very beautiful and faithful representation of the sweet and charming movie character .
Her hair is a considerable departure from the traditional short flip hairdo. Her jet black hair is parted to the left of her head, and pulled tightly over her head into a medium length braided ponytail that tapers down to a point and is secured by black rubberband, and is sewn to her collar on her right side. There is a thin deep red satin ribbon around the top of her head that ends in a small bow at left side of her head.
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.
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.
