In-Store release of Disney Designer Collection Premiere Series merchandise, on Friday September 28, 2018. My local Disney Store had all six of the Designer Princesses on display. Snow White was deboxed, and in a clear plastic display case. The others were in their boxes, and Guests were free to handle the boxes and inspect the dolls up close. They also had several of the ColourPop Designer makeup items for sale. Next to the Designer dolls were items related to them, including jewelry and accessories. The Designer items that were released last week were available for sale here. That included the two LE pin sets, the LE ornament set, the notecard set and wine glass set. I took detailed photos of the Belle and Tiana, the two dolls that I hadn't seen in person yet.

Classic Disney Princess Aurora Doll - 12''
US Disney Store
$14.95
Released online June 10, 2013.
The 2013 Classic Aurora is mostly the same doll as the 2012 model. She has the same face and almost the same dress. The few changes are the return of her iconic curly bang, a swirly glittery pattern in her dark pink satin skirt, and glently curly hair. The only major change, common to all the 2013 Classic Princess dolls, is the replacement of the fully articulated legs with the old rubber legs, with fixed angled feet and internal knee joints. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the 2012 legs, but the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable.
The 2013 Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection, released on June 10, 2013. They consist of 11-12'' articulated dolls of the 11 official Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Merida, as well as Princes, Villains and Sidekicks. Images from the US Disney Store website. When I get the dolls in person, I will also photograph them boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. I will also post reviews and comparative photos.

The 2015 version of The Beast Classic 12'' Doll is shown boxed.
I just received the full set of all the 2015 Classic Princess and Prince dolls that were released online on last Monday, June 22, 2015, on the US Disney Store site. There are 11 Princesses (Snow White through Merida) and 10 Princes (The Prince through Flynn Rider). Elsa, Anna, and the Fairy dolls have not had a 2015 makeover yet. The 2015 version of Classic Hans was released in June 26, but I do not have him yet. I have not seen any of these dolls in stores yet, but they should be in stores by next week.
The Princes have the faces of the Fairytale Designer dolls, which is especially noticeable for the Beast. The Belle doll finally has a widow's peak to match the animated character's hair style. In general, I like the changes in the dolls over last years. Since they have finally changed the Prince dolls, I will buy new Prince dolls for the first time in years. They are also on sale for 2 for $20, along with the classic dolls that have not changed yet (the Frozen dolls and the Fairy dolls).

There was more than a hundred people waiting outside the Disney Store this morning. Fortunately most of them were after the Mickey merchandise, and I got picked in the raffle for Jasmine. Several collectors that I knew were also there, but none of them got picked. I selected the first doll that was handed to me at the register, since she looked perfect. I didn't bring my camera, so no photos from the release. She is #425 of 4000. I show her boxed, and with the inner box taken out and the front viewing window taken off. She is very beautiful and my second most favorite doll from the series. She is first one that I managed to get from the store raffle, so I could take her home on release day. I will debox her tomorrow.

Tiana has been fully deboxed, then is reboxed.
I fixed the broken purse chain by using thread. It took me three tries and about 45 minutes to fix it so it didn't come loose again while posing her with the purse. I left the rubber band that secures the purse chain to her shoulder alone.
I received my Premiere Series Tiana doll on Friday, November 9. I had ordered her online from the Disney Store when she was released last Saturday, November 3, 2018. She is #253 of 4000. She is unusual in that her CoA number is only one greater than the Cart #252 that is on the original shipper label. All the other Premiere Series dolls so far have had an edition number 3 greater than the Cart #. The box and doll are close to perfect, except for a broken chain on her purse. I have read that this is a fairly common defect in the doll. Rather than trying to get a replacement from the Disney Store I think I will try to fix it on my own. She has a beautiful face, but the outfit is my least favorite of the series. The large yellow green cloth flower on her chest is really tacky and distracting, and covers her neck and part of her face. The neon yellow green of the skirt is also too gaudy for me, looks like a tutu, and the floral embroidery on her skirt looks childish. Her shoes are lovely, however. She is the fifth of the six doll series, with Belle being the last release in the US and Canada.

Deboxing the set.
I got the Ariel and Eric 'Kiss the Girl' playset yesterday (Tuesday October 23) from my local Disney Store. It came out in the UK about three weeks ago, and I have been anxiously waiting for it to arrive in the US since then. It is in some stores in the US, but not online in the US ShopDisney site yet. It costs $59.95 (twice as much as the previous Classic Disney Doll playsets that came out this year), and is in a huge box. It has Ariel and Eric in a rowboat, with fishes and Flounder spouting water around them. There is also a Sebastian figure, and two more outfits for Ariel (mermaid and pink). I show the set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed in various configurations. I put the set in front of the background formed by the inner box, and finally rebox the set.
Ariel is sporting her blue kingdom tour dress, and finally has her hair parted in the correct side of her head (on her left). She also has some heavily gelled bangs on her right side reminiscent of Snow Queen Elsa's crown of bangs.
Eric is in white shirt and blue pants, with black boots. He is remarkable in that he is the first Classic Prince doll to be fully articulated. He has the same body as Li Shang and Flynn Rider of the 2017 Disney Designer Collection limited edition doll sets. So he has a swivel jointed neck, and ball jointed elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. He can also sit without splaying his legs. As with most Prince dolls, he has a smaller head than his Princess, Ariel, which looks strange when they are side by side.
The boat can be separated from the base, consisting of the plastic water and fish. The oars can be separated from the boat. Sebastian can free stand, or can be inserted into peg at the bow of the boat.
This is a great set, and I think is worth the cost. The only problem is to find a place to put it, especially if it is out of the box.

I got the Anna and Elsa Doll Set for Olaf's Frozen Adventure, from my local Disney Store on Wednesday September 27, 2017. They are in the new Holiday outfits, made of faux suede. Elsa has a cape attached to the back of her dress, and has a fur collar with embedded red jewels. Anna has a jacket that is sewn to her bodice. They both have the new style rubber legs with flat feet. Elsa has flat heeled ice shoes, which are a loose fit. Anna has boots with low heels. Anna is about 1/4 inch taller than Elsa (11 1/2 vs 11 1/4 inches), which looks awkward when they are side by side. They both have new face sculpts, for the first time since their original Classic dolls were introduced in 2013. I like how they look, but I like Elsa more than Anna. The old faces looked younger and cuter, but the new faces are more movie accurate.

The tail end of the line of people entering the raffle before store opening.
I had managed to order Designer Snow White online this morning. But I went to a local Disney Store to get a second copy to debox, and also so I get one today rather than wait a week or more to have the online order delivered to me. There were about 30 people entered in the raffle for 13 dolls. I was not lucky enough to get called. So I will have to make do with the one I ordered online.
Deboxing the Mulan Playset. First the inner box is removed from the outer box by sliding it out. Then the doll and accessories are removed from the inner box. They are placed next to it. There are still some packaging restraints on the doll and accessories.
I also got the Princess Mulan Tea Ceremony Playset ($29.95) today from my Disney Store. This is available online in the UK, but not in the US yet. My store didn't have the Belle or Anna playsets
yet. It comes with an 11 inch Mulan doll and many accessories.

I got the Anna and Elsa Doll Set for Olaf's Frozen Adventure, from my local Disney Store on Wednesday September 27, 2017. They are in the new Holiday outfits, made of faux suede. Elsa has a cape attached to the back of her dress, and has a fur collar with embedded red jewels. Anna has a jacket that is sewn to her bodice. They both have the new style rubber legs with flat feet. Elsa has flat heeled ice shoes, which are a loose fit. Anna has boots with low heels. Anna is about 1/4 inch taller than Elsa (11 1/2 vs 11 1/4 inches), which looks awkward when they are side by side. They both have new face sculpts, for the first time since their original Classic dolls were introduced in 2013. I like how they look, but I like Elsa more than Anna.

I just bought the newly released 12 inch singing dolls from my local Disney Store. They are not yet available online. They had Aurora (as Briar Rose), Belle (in her Winter outfit) and Anna (in her Coronation outfit). They are $19.95 each, and have the same packaging as the Ariel, Cinderella, Elsa, Jasmine and Moana singing dolls released in 2018. They sing for about 15 seconds when you twist their left hand (to your right as you face them). Aurora sings 'Once Upon a Dream' acapella, Belle sings 'Something There' acapella and Anna sings 'Love Is an Open Door' with musical accompaniment.
I debox Aurora first, and will debox the others soon. Aurora is in her purple and black peasant outfit, with glitter floral design on her skirt. The glitter is well glued and doesn't shed. There is a crimson satin shawl around her arms, and a black satin ribbon in her golden blonde hair. Her straight bangs are a little too long, and partially hide her left eye. Her hair is soft except for her bangs, and end in gentle curls. There is a small red cloth rose with a short green stem. I left the rubberband securing it to her right hand. She has violet eyes glancing to her left, and dark pink lips in an open smile. She is barefoot, with rubber legs and fixed angled feet (as if she is on tip toes). Her left arm, which has the singing switch in her wrist, has a fixed elbow. She is a beautiful and fairly accurate depiction of Briar Rose.

2016 Classic Belle has been completely deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser stand, and is holding Chip in her left hand.
Detailed photos of the 2016 Classic Belle 12'' doll. I love her face, and her widow's peak. But her hair is parted into two sections for packaging. After deboxing it is hard to join the sections neatly, especially since the bottom curls are very stiff from hair product. Her glittering yellow ball gown is very beautiful and move accurate from the front, and has a nice round shape when deboxed. But the gathering and satin ribbon decoration are not continued in the back. Unfortunately, this is usual for the gowns on non-LE Belle dolls. Chip is very light, and can be balanced nicely on her gloved hand. But I find his face a bit creepy, rather than cute. Belle has yellow flats once again. Even though she wears flats in the movie, I would rather that the doll wore heels.

The neon yellow green of the skirt is also too gaudy for me, looks like a tutu, and the floral embroidery on her skirt looks childish. Her shoes are lovely, however. She is the fifth of the six doll series, with Belle being the last release in the US and Canada.
I show the box, and the doll with successive layers of the box removed, until the doll is in clear view. I will debox the doll soon.

Deboxing the Mulan Playset. First the inner box is removed from the outer box by sliding it out. Then the doll and accessories are removed from the inner box. They are placed next to it. There are still some packaging restraints on the doll and accessories. Next we separate Mulan from the gazebo. Then we remove the remaining packaging restraints from the doll, including wires, plastic supports and tissue paper around her legs.
I also got the Princess Mulan Tea Ceremony Playset ($29.95) today from my Disney Store. This is available online in the UK, but not in the US yet. My store didn't have the Belle or Anna playsets
yet. It comes with an 11 inch Mulan doll and many accessories.

Singing Ariel is fully deboxed. She is standing up, supported by a Kaiser stand.
I got the new Disney Store 11 1/2 inch singing Ariel doll on Monday July 9, 2018. I also got the Cinderella singing doll at the same time, whom I will show separately. They are showing up in various Disney Stores both here in the US and also in the UK, but are not yet available online.
She is in much simpler packaging than previous singing dolls, and has no accessories. She is also less expensive than previous singing dolls, only $19.99, just $5 more than a regular Classic doll. Ariel has a lovely new face paint that is different than the current Classic Ariel doll.
Ariel sings 'Part of Your World'. Ariel is in mermaid form, with a purple bra that has a large blue gem in the middle, and an iridescent dark blue-green tail with light blue-green fins.
I have deboxed Singing Ariel and will post detailed photos of her soon.
She has a pink cloth flower in her hair, with a yellow jewel in the center. It is tacked to her head with a T-tab. There is glitter on her bra, and in the tulle fins and fringe around her waist, but sheds very little, if at all. Her satin tail is iridescent, and has outlines of scales printed in black. She has the new style rubber legs, with internal click stop knee joints, and fixed flat feet.
But I have bad news about her singing. She only sings one verse of 'Part of Your World', which lasts about 12 seconds, and that's it. I thought that was just the Try Me mode, but there is no pull tab, or alternate switch position to make the song segment longer. And when you twist her hand again, the same verse repeats itself. Boo! The previous Ariel singing dolls (both 12 inch and 16 inch) all sang three verses of the song, lasting about 30 seconds. Some of the other 12 inch singing dolls from past years would sing 2 verses, or about 20 seconds of their song, but this new Ariel only singing one verse is very disappointing, despite her low price compared to past singing dolls.

Deboxing Ursula. After Ariel has be deboxed, Ursula is still on the display stand, and has several factory restraints still on her body. Some of her tentacles are pinned to stay in a bent position and/or pinned to the base of the stand. We turn the stand on its side to view the underside of Ursula, so see how the stand is attached to her.
I got the Ariel and Ursula Doll Set on Tuesday October 20, 2015, at my local Disney Store's raffle. I was 17th of 18 called, so I'm very glad I was able to get her in store. There was about the same amount of people who were there for the Snow/Hag set, so about 10 people missed out today. My set is #4185 of 6000. I will show this set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I took the set I was given. I noticed that Ariel's eyelashes were not at the same angle between her two eyes, but it didn't bother me enough to ask for another set. There were no other noticeable defects in the set.
I have deboxed Ariel, and found to my surprise that the pile of rocks is totally separate from the display case, and is free standing. Ariel is supposed to free sit on the rock stand, and stay in position just by the friction of her sequined tail on the uneven surface of the top rock. It also helps if the floor of is rough (like a carpet) rather than the smooth surface that I was using for the photoshoot. Next, I was pleasantly surprised is that she has the old Designer Princess body, so rubber legs and swivel waist joint. As I expected, her hair is heavily gelled to keep her curls, but not as heavily as the 17'' LE Ariel from 2013. So only the bottom third of her curls are stiff. There were a couple of stray hairs stuck in her neck joint (ouch!) and some short hairs (like trimmings) that I had to remove from her face and chest. She is pretty, but not drop dead gorgeous as were the previous two Designer Ariel dolls (from 2011 and 2013). I also don't like her see through top. It has a rough surface, so her hairs kept on getting caught in it.
Her sequins making up her tail are iridescent, so it appears to be different colors (various shades of green, blue and purple) depending on the angle of the light and angle of viewing. That is similar to how the scales of an actual fish appear. This was an unexpected feature of her tail that makes me like it much more than I did from the stock photos, or even from viewing her in person in the display dolls before I bought her and deboxed her. I also really like her fins, which are wired to stiffen them, and are posable.
I also compare Designer Ariel side by side with the OOAK Ariel made by a fellow collector, who used the 2014 Classic Ariel as the base.
I have now deboxed Ursula. I like her alot, I think more than the LE Ursula. But she is by no means a perfect Ursula. The build in stand for her is a smaller version of the one for the LE doll. It is a metal pole with a flat disk that fits into a pocket on the underside of Ursula. Unlike the LE doll stand, this one is not portable. Only her front four tentacles are articulated. The two rear ones are just stuffed, so don't really help support Ursula. However she can still free stand, with her tentacles stretched out. Her arms are fully articulated, a big improvement over the LE Ursula, but her hands don't have much freedom of movement forward or backward. Her neck is VERY stiff, so I moved her head will great difficulty, and I was afraid to damage her head or neck if I applied any more force. Perhaps it will become looser with over time. As with LE Ursula, her top is removable (although I haven't done so yet), and the lower portion of her torso is stuffed with her leather like skin permanently sewn on. With her sitting down with her tentacles spread out, she looks like a starfish, and she is very stable. With her tentacles upright, she can free stand, but isn't very stable. It would have helped greatly if her two rear tentacles were articulated, to help support her standing pose. Standing up, she comes up to about Ariel's height, so is far smaller than the animated character. While deboxing and posing her, one rhinestone and one sequin fell off, but I don't miss them since there are hundreds of those on her body and tentacles.
Fourth release of the 2015 Disney Fairytale Designer Collection is Ariel in mermaid form and Ursula in sea witch form. She sold out online a few hours after the release.

There was more than a hundred people waiting outside the Disney Store this morning. Fortunately most of them were after the Mickey merchandise, and I got picked in the raffle for Jasmine. Several collectors that I knew were also there, but none of them got picked. I selected the first doll that was handed to me at the register, since she looked perfect. I didn't bring my camera, so no photos from the release. She is #425 of 4000. I show her boxed, and with the inner box taken out and the front viewing window taken off. She is very beautiful and my second most favorite doll from the series. She is first one that I managed to get from the store raffle, so I could take her home on release day. I will debox her tomorrow.

I took some photos of the the Minnie Mouse Signature Limited Edition Doll and associated merchandise displayed at my local Disney Store today. She will be released on National Polka Dot Day, Monday January 22, 2018. She is the sixth Minnie Mouse Signature LE Doll produced by the Disney Store so far. She comes in a display case that is of the same design as that of the Disney Designer Doll collection from 2011 to 2016.
Deboxing Moana. Front and rear covers taken off. The doll and accessories are now in clear view, but are still attached to the free standing cardboard backing and various plastic supports.
Here are detailed photos of my Disney Store Limited Edition Moana 17 inch doll, boxed and deboxed. She is #1531 of 6500. I also got a spare Moana that I will leave mint in box, but I haven't looked to see what edition number that doll has.
She has mock sand on her feet, and there is also sand on the base for Pua. Somewhat like glitter, the sand does shed, and found its way on the sides of the box, and on the doll itself. Some of the sand on the tips of her toes also got rubbed off.
Moana has a unique body, but is fully articulated. She has ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Instead of the chest joint that are on most of the female Disney Store 17 inch LE dolls, Moana has a waist pivot joint that allows her upper torso to spin around 360 degrees. This is similar to the Designer Princess waist joint, but is lower down her back, just above her butt. That is doubtless due to her bare midriff. With large her flat feet, Moana can free stand very stably. But I think that some of her joints are a little too loose, especially her waist joint.
Her body proportions are also unique for a Disney LE doll, but that is due to those of the animated character herself. In particular, her arms and legs are thicker than the other LE Princess dolls. Rather than the flat hands of the other LE Princess dolls, Moana has curved hands, which I think look more natural. Her face is very pretty and a very good likeness of the animated character. She has thick eyebrows, big brown eyes glancing to her upper right. She has short painted eyelashes, but no rooted eyelashes (like the LE Merida dolls). She has a large flat nose, and full dark brown lips in a closed mouth smile.
She has dark brown wavy hair that has a lot of hair product, so it feels a bit crunchy. Some of her hair was actually stuck to the plastic support, her body and her clothes, due to the hair product not being fully dry when she was assembled. There was also some bits of tissue paper stuck to her hair.
She has a garland of cloth leaves and plastic flowers on her head, It is permanently attached to her head. There are plastic leafy bands around her left arm and both ankles. The arm band was rather loose, and I had to keep on moving it back up her arm. I think it could use a rubber band to keep it tight, which I don't think I accidently cut when deboxing her. Her ankle bands did have rubber bands around them. She has a beaded plastic necklace with a shell pendant that opens. I removed the large rubber band around her upper chest and the plastic support that kept the pendent attached to her top. But I left the rubber bands that kept the upper part of the necklace in place. She has an short satin orange top with white beaded decoration. There is a matching belt or sash around her hips, over her skirt. Her skirt has two woven layers, with a straw underskirt.
Pua is very stable on the sand dune base (and there are indentations in the base to show where to place him). Hei Hei can free stand on Pua's head, but you have to place him very carefully, using the indentations on Pua's head as a guide. He can also be made secure by a rubberband around Pua's head and over Hei Hei's feet.
Moana's oar is placed on her left side in the box, but the way the handle is formed on the oar, it fits most easily on her right hand (to our left when she faces us).
Disney Fairytale Designer Collection merchandise. Tiana and Briar Rose Journals.
The Disney Fairytale Designer Collection merchandise on display at my local Disney Store today. It was the release day, and they had all the merchandise in the collection displayed except for the LE Pin Set. All the items were for sale, except for the dolls, which will be released in store and online once a week starting on Tuesday September 23, 2014. The dolls were on a high shelf, and there wasn't a convenient place to put them for viewing a photographing them, so I made do with low angle shots. All the items were better looking in person than online, which is the norm for most Disney merchandise. Cinderella's head was turned around too much to look natural. But it wasn't quite as severe as in the stock photo of her in the display case, so I wouldn't call her Exorcist Head. Her head is definitely attached to a plastic form, so her head turn isn't a random thing that happened during shipping, but is by design. After seeing her in person, she is still my favorite of the Princesses in this release, and her dress looks great both front and back. I bought journals and the Lithograph Set, of which I will post photos shortly. The store wasn't very busy (at noon time), but everyone that looked at the Designer Collection seemed to be impressed.
Here are the release dates of the doll sets (in North America):
Sept 2, 2014. Pre-order complete collection.

In these photos, the Disney Store doll is on the left, and Tollytots doll on the right, except for the boxed photo, where they are reversed. The succeeding photos have them free standing side by side, wearing their top hats and carrying their traveling bags.
My review will breakdown the differences in the dolls in various physical categories.
Packaging:
The Disney Store doll comes in a plastic and cardboard box, where three sides and the top are clear plastic to view the doll. Once the front plastic lid is removed, the doll is in the clear, attached to the cardboard backing. There are numerous wires, plastic straps and ties to remove to get the doll and accessories out of the packaging, but less than is usual for a female doll with a dress. I decided to leave a couple of T-tabs that pinned his jacket closed.
The Tollytots doll comes in a plastic and cardboard box that has a clear viewing window to see the doll. It is in a box in a box that takes a bit of time to finally get the doll in the clear. Then there are numerous packaging restraints that have to removed to remove the doll from the backing and spacers.
Face:
The Disney Store doll's face is much more movie accurate, bearing a strong resemblance to the movie character. He also has side glancing eyes, darker facial hair, eyebrows that are closer to his eyes, and darker lip color. He has a more serious and determined expression than the Tollytots doll, who has a blank stare and bland expression. His skin color is also more accurate, being a paler color than the Tollytots doll medium tan color.
Hair:
The Disney Store doll has dark brown molded hair, that is in a short curly hairdo. It is close in look to the movie character. The Tollytots doll has rooted hair that is a mixture of dark brown and black strands. It is short and straight, and is fairly neat although it has little hair product, and is soft and resilient. There are a few stray hairs that I was able to tame with my fingers. It isn't very movie accurate, as it is straight rather than curly. However, I appreciate the effort to make his hair rooted, rather than molded, which makes the doll more realistic.
Outfits:
The Disney Store doll comes with a black coat with satin lining, full black satin vest with four buttons (nonfunctional, as it has a velcro closure), white dress shirt with one nonfunctional button (has velcro closure in the back), black satin bow tie (sewn to the shirt), black and gray pinstriped pants. It looks to be fairly movie accurate, but fits awkardly on the Disney Prince body, looking bulky.
The Tollytots doll has a black faux wool coat. Under that is a black satin half vest (a front panel sewn into the shirt) with fake embroidered buttons, then a white satin shirt with a sewn on black satin tie. Finally he has dark gray pinstriped dress pants. The outfit fits much better on the Tollytots doll than on the DS doll, due in large part to the slimmer body of the Tollytots doll.
Shoes:
The Disney Store doll has black patent leather boots, of the usual Disney Prince design. It isn't very movie accurate, as well as looking more like rainboots than dress shoes, and being way too large (to fit the DS doll's huge feet). The Tollytots doll has dark gray ankle high boots that are nicely detailed, and look more movie accurate. They are much smaller and slimmer than the DS shoes, and more fashionable looking.
Body:
The Disney Store doll has the usual Disney Store Prince body, with huge hands and feet, and bulked up torso. The Tollytots doll has a much slimmer body, with smaller hands and feet. His fingers are curled, making his hands much better at holding items, such as the handle of his traveling bag. The Tollytots doll has a more elegant look, which helps his outfit look better on him too.
Articulation:
The Disney Store doll has the usual Disney Prince articulation. His neck rotates about a single plane, and cannot tilt up or down. His arms are ball joints, but his elbows are hinge joints, and he has no wrist joints, so cannot twist his arms or hands around. He has ball jointed hips, but only internal click stop hinged knees, and no ankle joints.
The Tollytots doll has a ball jointed neck, so can tilt his head up and down to an extent, as well as rotate his head around. But his neck joint is rather loose and sloppy, so doesn't hold a tilted pose very well. His shoulder and elbows are ball jointed, so he has more freedom of movement in his arms than the DS doll, and can rotate his hands with his lower arms, for more realistic poses. He has ball jointed hips, but no knee or ankle joints. Overall I think the Tollytots has the better articulation.
Accessories:
The Disney Store doll has a top hat and traveling bag that are close in appearance to the movie props. The top hat has a smooth surface, and taller and wider than the Tollytots doll's hat. It looks and fits better and is more movie accurate. His traveling bag is larger, has wear and scruff marks making it more realistic looking than the plain looking Tollytots bag. However, with the Tollytots doll's curved fingers, he can actually wrap his fingers around the handle of the bag, which the DS doll cannot do. Therefore it looks better on him, and is much easier to secure using a single rubber band. The DS doll needed two rubber bands to secure the bag on his hand, and it still looks less realistic, as his hand is draped over the handle, rather than being wrapped around it.
Summary:
The Disney Store doll, while having the disadvantage of the awkward looking Disney Prince body, which also makes his outfit look ill fitting, is a much more accurate representation of the movie character. His serious expression also helps and better details in his outfit and accessories make him look like an actual movie character, rather than just a generic doll.
On the other hand, the Tollytots doll is only $20 versus $35 for the Disney doll. Plus it comes with the well made and movie accurate mini China Girl doll, which costs an additional $9.50 from the Disney Store.
Deboxing the Mulan Playset. First the inner box is removed from the outer box by sliding it out. Then the doll and accessories are removed from the inner box. They are placed next to it. There are still some packaging restraints on the doll and accessories. Little Brother is deboxed.
I also got the Princess Mulan Tea Ceremony Playset ($29.95) today from my Disney Store. This is available online in the UK, but not in the US yet. My store didn't have the Belle or Anna playsets

Limited Edition Ariel 17'' Doll - Pre-Order
Disney Store Display
July 29, 2013
Store displays of new releases of The Little Mermaid merchandise by the Disney Store, on July 29, 2013. Includes the pre-order of the Limited Edition 17'' Ariel doll, plush dolls, and play sets.
I got the Olaf's Frozen Adventure Anna and Elsa 17 inch LE dolls at my local Disney Store today. I got to the store at 8 am, and was the second one there. But the earlier person, also a regular at these releases, decided to order them online instead of waiting for the store to open. So I was the only one in line for the dolls. A few people showed up right before the store opened, but they weren't there for the dolls. This time after the opening ceremony, they didn't give out the souvenir key to the guest taking part in the ceremony.
They had four Elsa and three Anna dolls behind the registers, but no promo placard. I picked the first Anna that they showed me, as she looked perfect. But had to look at all four Elsas before I chose one, as none of them had perfect hair. Here as photos I took at the store. I will post detailed photos of the dolls later today.
2016 Classic Ariel has been completely deboxed. She is standing on her fins, supported by a Kaiser stand (not included with the doll). I have left Flounder out of these photos, to see Ariel better.
Detailed photos of the new Classic Ariel doll. I love her face. But most of her hair is very stiff with hair product, so I found it hard to make it neater and fix the stray hairs. Her satin fins are okay, but there is a stained patch (glue?). I like the 2012 Classic Ariel fins better, but these new ones are definitely better than the tulle fins that most recent Classic Ariel dolls have had. Under her glittering tail, she has rubber legs, with fixed angled feet and internal click stop knees. I was going to compare her side by side with last year's Classic Ariel, but I can't find the old Ariel at the moment.

Deboxing the Aurora and Maleficent Doll Set. Aurora's stool has been freed from the display case, and is free standing. It is a five sided stool with a flat purple seat and ornate antique brass looking sides. Here the deboxed Aurora is sitting on the stool. Because of her leg joints, she can't really sit on the stool, but instead is leaning against it, with her butt balanced on the edge of the stool. This is similar to how last year's Designer Ariel doll had to be balanced on her rock stool while in the sitting position. Aurora's skirt is spread out in front of her, which looks much better than the factory pose in the cramped quarters of the display case.
Here are detailed photos of the Aurora and Maleficent Doll Set. This is the fourth and last release of the 2016 Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. It is #1335 of 6000.
I got it in my local Disney Store's raffle at lunch time, on release day, Tuesday October 18, 2016. About 8-10 people showed up for the raffle, for 18 doll sets. So about the same number of people for each of the releases in this series. I saw three sets before I was satisfied with mine, mainly due to Aurora's curly bang not laying right against her forehead, and/or too many stray hairs.

Beauty rare
Disney's Fairytale Designer Collection pairs heroes and villains in dramatic limited edition doll sets. After sixteen years of anticipation, Maleficent fulfills her evil curse on the Princess Aurora with this highly detailed duo.
2016 Classic Ariel has been completely deboxed. She is standing on her fins, supported by a Kaiser stand (not included with the doll). I have left Flounder out of these photos, to see Ariel better.

The new Animators' Collection Rapunzel Doll, in store display.
Photos of the store displays of the newly released 2013 Disney Animators' Collection 16'' Dolls. This store only has 5 of the 11 new releases so far, Belle, Merida, Pocahontas, Rapunzel and Snow White. The US Disney Store site has these five, and also the new Ariel, Aurora and Cinderella. The UK Disney Store site has in addition the new Jasmine, Mulan and Tiana, but not the new Merida. I find it strange that the release of the new Animators' dolls seems to be so haphazard.

I just received my online order from the Disney Store, of the newly released The Disney Maleficent Movie Dolls and Mugs. The dolls are the Maleficent and Aurora 12'' dolls of the Disney Film Collection. The mugs are Maleficent and Dragon mug and the Maleficent and Aurora mug. I ordered them last Tuesday, when the dolls were released online, so it took exactly one week to arrive. Both mugs are very beautiful, and it's hard for me to pick a favorite now. The only slight disappointment is that they have the same design on both sides. Both dolls look very good, but I'm liking Aurora more at this point, mainly because I like her face more than Maleficent's. I think the Dark Beauty Maleficent doll by Jakks Pacific is a better likeness of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. I will post photos of both dolls boxed, then during deboxing, and finally fully deboxed. I will also show them side by side with other comparable dolls, especially the Jakks versions.

Deboxing Moana. Front and rear covers taken off. The doll and accessories are now in clear view, but are still attached to the free standing cardboard backing and various plastic supports.
Here are detailed photos of my Disney Store Limited Edition Moana 17 inch doll, boxed and deboxed. She is #1531 of 6500. I also got a spare Moana that I will leave mint in box, but I haven't looked to see what edition number that doll has.
She has mock sand on her feet, and there is also sand on the base for Pua. Somewhat like glitter, the sand does shed, and found its way on the sides of the box, and on the doll itself. Some of the sand on the tips of her toes also got rubbed off.
Moana has a unique body, but is fully articulated. She has ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Instead of the chest joint that are on most of the female Disney Store 17 inch LE dolls, Moana has a waist pivot joint that allows her upper torso to spin around 360 degrees. This is similar to the Designer Princess waist joint, but is lower down her back, just above her butt. That is doubtless due to her bare midriff. With large her flat feet, Moana can free stand very stably. But I think that some of her joints are a little too loose, especially her waist joint.
Her body proportions are also unique for a Disney LE doll, but that is due to those of the animated character herself. In particular, her arms and legs are thicker than the other LE Princess dolls. Rather than the flat hands of the other LE Princess dolls, Moana has curved hands, which I think look more natural. Her face is very pretty and a very good likeness of the animated character. She has thick eyebrows, big brown eyes glancing to her upper right. She has short painted eyelashes, but no rooted eyelashes (like the LE Merida dolls). She has a large flat nose, and full dark brown lips in a closed mouth smile.
She has dark brown wavy hair that has a lot of hair product, so it feels a bit crunchy. Some of her hair was actually stuck to the plastic support, her body and her clothes, due to the hair product not being fully dry when she was assembled. There was also some bits of tissue paper stuck to her hair.
She has a garland of cloth leaves and plastic flowers on her head, It is permanently attached to her head. There are plastic leafy bands around her left arm and both ankles. The arm band was rather loose, and I had to keep on moving it back up her arm. I think it could use a rubber band to keep it tight, which I don't think I accidently cut when deboxing her. Her ankle bands did have rubber bands around them. She has a beaded plastic necklace with a shell pendant that opens. I removed the large rubber band around her upper chest and the plastic support that kept the pendent attached to her top. But I left the rubber bands that kept the upper part of the necklace in place. She has an short satin orange top with white beaded decoration. There is a matching belt or sash around her hips, over her skirt. Her skirt has two woven layers, with a straw underskirt.
Pua is very stable on the sand dune base (and there are indentations in the base to show where to place him). Hei Hei can free stand on Pua's head, but you have to place him very carefully, using the indentations on Pua's head as a guide. He can also be made secure by a rubberband around Pua's head and over Hei Hei's feet.
Moana's oar is placed on her left side in the box, but the way the handle is formed on the oar, it fits most easily on her right hand (to our left when she faces us).
I got the 2017 Disney Designer Collection flyer, which has the release schedule and rules for the individual sets (raffles as usual), but no images or mention of the side merchandise. My store didn't have any display for the collection, the CM just handed me the flyer when at the checkout counter.

In-Store release of Disney Designer Collection Premiere Series merchandise, on Friday September 28, 2018. My local Disney Store had all six of the Designer Princesses on display. Snow White was deboxed, and in a clear plastic display case. The others were in their boxes, and Guests were free to handle the boxes and inspect the dolls up close. They also had several of the ColourPop Designer makeup items for sale. Next to the Designer dolls were items related to them, including jewelry and accessories. The Designer items that were released last week were available for sale here. That included the two LE pin sets, the LE ornament set, the notecard set and wine glass set. I took detailed photos of the Belle and Tiana, the two dolls that I hadn't seen in person yet.
