Bachelorette number two is a cape-wearing girl from the Land of Fantasy. Although she lives with seven other men, she's not easy! Just kiss her frozen, dead lips and find out what a live wire she is. Give it up for Snow White!

I was card holder number 2 at my store this morning--but they didn't let me keep the card!
I got there about 10 minutes before the store opened, and no one else came for her. Everyone else was there for Tsum Tsums.
I think Disney heard all the complaints about her shine, because it's a lot subtler in person and subtler than the latest Frozen and LE 4000 Cinderella dolls.
I like her headband and navel jewel. All in all, she's gorgeous, but I still wish her colors were more movie accurate.
When I was very young and I had just started playing with Barbie dolls, I was most enthusiastic about dolls produced for Disney movies. I suppose I've always enjoyed dolls based on characters, films, or celebrities because I like that they have "identities" even if I always changed them. Every time a Disney movie came out, I HAD to get a doll from it. Even if I had never seen the film, even if I didn't want to see the film, I NEEDED the doll. I remember pining for Megara for years, since I wasn't able to purchase her in stores. I spent the entire summer of 2000 daydreaming about Jane from Tarzan (I ended up getting her that summer). Mom picked out the Hearts of Honor Mulan dolls and Real Riding Khan horse as Christmas gifts for me one year, even though I'm pretty sure I hadn't seen the movie. I chose the Ariel on the left as my sixth birthday present even though I know for a one hundred percent fact that it took me years to actually watch the movie. I was completely enamored by Gypsy Dancing Esmeralda the moment I laid eyes on her while shoe shopping at Kmart (I believe) with my mom and sister. But most of all, I recall with great clarity all the Pocahontas dolls and fashion packs we had laying around the house, and even the handmade tepees Dad designed for them--mine was white, whereas Colleen's was brown. It's funny because the dolls that survived don't even represent all the many Pocahontas dolls Colleen and I had over the years. We each had brand new Sun Colors Pocahontas and Nakoma dolls. I also had store bought Kocoum and John Smith dolls (who I bought with my allowance and I greatly preferred over the girl dolls). But like with many of our earliest childhood dolls, they all met a tragic fate--decapitation or amputation by guinea pigs. To put it nicely, the were bio hazardous, which is why we no longer own them.
