Fairytale Designer Rose

I really love this doll, and while I think she's beautiful mine has a few flaws. A common thing is how poorly done the bangs are, so I guess it isn't just a problem with mine. This doesn't seem to be an issue with the classic dolls so I wonder why it is with this limited designer doll. Second, mine has a couple of gashes on the left side of her head near her neck. They aren't that noticeable but still, I wish they weren't there. Other than that she's pretty sweet. Granted I'd have liked to of seen her in more of a silver-grey scheme like in the film, but I think the purple and gold is stunning so I really wouldn't change it. While I love the embroidery, it's really the print on the underskirt that makes the dress for me, and I do love that she has her shawl too! In fact the only thing I would change (other than the sloppily executed bangs), is the head mould. I wish she had the newer mould that is in the Deluxe Doll Set and the JCP Rose and Phillip Set, as I feel it's a superior and more beautiful mould. She still has the awkward hip joints, so I'm starting to wonder if maybe my Rose and Maleficent from the Doll Set were just an oddity. The Frozen Skating set has the awkward hips as well. Maybe the Doll Set was produced in the factories more recently and that's why it has both the better hip joints and the newer head mould, I hope, but I'm not counting on it either. Anyhoo, I really love that we have an interpretation of her in her peasant dress, so refreshing.
