Snow White and the Prince - Limited Edition Doll Set - Disney Fairytale Designer Collection - Disney Store - First Look - Deboxing - Cover Off - Closeup Rear View - Certificate of Authenticity
The outer cardboard sleeve is slid off, revealing the dolls inside of an clear acrylic display case, with a gold and black base, and golden nameplate. At the back of the case the Certificate of Authenticity is visible. Then the acrylic case is opened up by gently rocking the top from side to side until it is loosened from the base, then slowly sliding it off along the cardboard backing. The dolls are now in clear view. They are attached to the backing and plastic spacers by rubber bands, wires, and plastic tabs.
Snow White has a little blemish on her right cheek near her nose, that appears to be a stray bit of hair gel. I will wash it off tomorrow, using some alcohol and cotton swab. There was also a few stray hairs coming from her braided hair, that I tidied up using the end of a rat tail comb. Also her bodice is slightly off center, I will also fix that tomorrow after I fully debox her.
The sun was very low in the sky, and behind a building, so I had to use flash for most of these photos.
Snow White and the Prince - Limited Edition Doll Set
Disney Fairytale Designer Collection
$129.95 US
US Disney Store
Released and purchased in store on August 20, 2013.
First Look
There were 18 Snow White doll sets at the store, and only about a dozen people who entered the raffle for the chance to buy them. So from the get go, I knew I was sure to leave with the dolls. There was one lady in the group that I remembered from the Designer Villain raffles, and we caught up on how our doll collections were growing. Also another person waiting for the dolls said she actually got the Designer Pin Set in her cart, and purchased them, but got an ''I'm sorry'' email later saying that the item was sold out, and they were refunding her money.
At about 1:07 pm, they called out 5 names at a time to purchase the dolls. My name was actually called out first. Then we were marched into the store to buy the dolls. The store only had the Snow White dolls set on display behind the counter, and none of the other dolls on display at all. The main Fairytale Designer Collection display was unchanged, except that the Ariel mugs were now sold out. So I decided not to take any photos inside the store, since there was no real changes, and I couldn't take any closeups of the Snow White set on display.
Just after purchasing the dolls, I set them down at a table outside the Disney Store. Then I took a peek at the dolls to make sure there were no defects, before leaving with them. I first took the box out of the Designer Fairytale Gift Bag. Then I took the sleeve off the box, to reveal the dolls inside of a clear acrylic display case, with a gold base and nameplate. The case and dolls looked perfect to me. The serial number is #558 of 6000.
I will photograph the set boxed, during the deboxing, and fully deboxed. I will also pose the dolls next to comparable dolls, for instance the Gold D23 Snow White doll set.
