Deboxing Designer Snow White. She is removed from the inner box by undoing the tabs and wires holding the doll and stage to the inner box. Then the large plastic support is removed from her head and back, and remaining factory restraints removed from the doll's outfit. Then the doll is removed from the stage by freeing the display stand. Then the display stand is removed from the doll. We lay down the doll and inspect her outfit.
I received my Disney Designer Collection Premiere Series Snow White Limited Edition Doll today. I had ordered her online at the release day, shortly after 12 AM in the morning of Saturday October 6, 2018. She is #1301 of 4100. She came in a shipper box that is approximately the same size as the LE 17 inch doll shippers. It original shipping label said GIRLS TOYS LE PR DSGN SNOW DOLL F18, and CART #: 01298. There was a small piece of masking tape stuck to the side of the box with the actual edition number (matching the CoA): 1301. Inside there was another corrugated cardboard box snugly fitting in the outer shipping box. Inside that was the actual doll box, which was covered with tissue paper, and fit snugly in the inner shipping box, with cardboard caps on the top and bottom of the doll box. The shipper box was undamaged in transit, as was the inner box and the doll box itself.
The doll box has folding panels in the front with magnetic closure, with a large design sketch of Snow White and the year 1937 in large numerals. In the background are photographers in silhouette snapping photos, and a red carpet. The back of the box has angled corners, making for a hexagonal shaped box. The sides and back of the box also has images of Snow White. The top of the box has a clear window with the title of the collection in gold lettering. Inside the front covers are replicas of the movie poster, invitation and tickets to the premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, on December 21, 1937. The doll is behind a rectangular viewing window extending almost the full width and height of the box.
The inner box containing the doll and front viewing window can be slid out from the outer box. It is entirely enclosed, so can be displayed as is, without having to deal with the front covers either covering up the doll, or taking up space in front or to the sides of the inner box. The doll is on top a red carpet that has steps in front, and is flocked cardboard.
The doll herself is by far my favorite of the current Designer Premiere Series. I'm slightly biased because Snow White is my favorite Disney Princess, and am so happy that she turned out so well. I think her gown and accessories are very beautifully designed and produced. It also is very fitting for Snow White, and would be something she would wear to the premiere of her own movie.
I show her boxed, with the inner box removed from the outer box, and finally with the front viewing window removed from the inner box.
I will fully debox her tomorrow and post photos here when I do.
Ariel and Eric are deboxed, and are sitting in the rowboat.
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.
Anna's coronation gown is fairly accurate, except for the heavily glittered skirt. I would have preferred the version that was in the Disney Parks Anna Doll Dress Set (2016). The glitter sheds readily, including on her legs, which is hard to get off since the rubbery legs have a sticky surface. However, the glitter does make the skirt stiff so it can keep a full shape with the need for a petticoat. Her pendant necklace is by far the most accurate that has been produced for a 12 inch doll. Her face mold is the same as the one they produced for the OFA 12 inch Anna dolls. Her face paint is very similar, except that they made her freckles more prominent and her rouge is darker. Her hair is also essentially the same as on the OFA doll, except for a prominent white streak. Whereas the pendant looks very good, her crown looks mighty cheap. She has black flats. Her outfit is a definite improvement over the 2014 Deluxe Singing Anna Doll, but I wish she had her old cute face.
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.
Belle is in her pink and red winter outfit. She has a dark red velvet cape with white fur trim, which is secured with a red ribbon tied in the front. Her pink satin dress skirt has a center light pink panel in the skirt with dark pink glitter roses which don't shed. Her dark brown hair is stiffened in the ends to keep its curl, which looks messy in the box pose. I tried to make it as even and neat as I could after deboxing her, but it still has a Medusa look. She is wearing dark pink flats, which match the color of her skirt.

#2287 of 6000
Detailed photos of the Cinderella and Lady Tremaine DFDC limited edition doll set that I bought on the release day (September 6, 2016) from my local Disney Store. There were only about 10 people who entered the raffle for the 18 doll sets available. My set is numbered #2287 of 6000. I didn't see any significant flaws when I inspected the set at the register. I didn't get a gift bag when I bought the set, but returned the next day and they gave me one. The set is still available online, and in some stores as of Friday September 9.
Cinderella does have teeth in her face mold. They are painted over to give the illusion of a closed mouth. But at the angle that her head is positioned, it is hard to see the painted over teeth, and the illusion is very convincing.
Cinderella is wearing dark pink high heels with articulated ankles. She has blemish on her cheek that looks like hair product that spilled onto her face. So I was able to wash it off when I took the cover off the display case. Her hair is stiff with hair product, so I decided to leave her hair alone after deboxing, even though it looks a bit messy, and some of her hair curls around her neck.
When I deboxed Lady Tremaine, I unpinned her skirt so it's much fuller. I also unpinned her scarf so it falls freely from her head. It is sewn to her hair. I left Cindy's skirt pinned together in the front (so it looks pleated), but I may free it later.
This is my favorite set in this year's Designer Collection, and has been since I first saw images of it. Cinderella looks even more beautiful in person than in photos. I love her hair color and her face. Lady Tremaine's outfit is outstanding, and is much better than the one on the 17 inch Limited Edition Lady Tremaine from 2012.

The new Animators' Collection Snow White 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.

The Designer Snow White is fully deboxed, and put back on her display stand, holding her purse but without her fur stole. She is standing on the red carpet stage.
Her fur stole is removable, and has snap closures to secure it to her arms. But her train is only removable on one side, the other side being sewn to her gown. She has the standard Designer Princess doll body, with swivel waist and rubber legs with internal knee joints and angled feet. Her elbow joints seem to be slightly different than those of my other Designer Princesses. Her included display stand is of different design than the similar saddle stands of the 17 inch LE dolls, in that there is a cross member that prevents the doll from swaying from side to side, which is useful when she is carrying the heavy metal purse accessory. The fur stole also helps to accommodate the purse's weight.

I had ordered her online at the release day, shortly after 12 AM in the morning of Saturday October 6, 2018. She is #1301 of 4100.

The contents have been completely deboxed, and are laid out on the floor.
I like this set very much. The Anna doll has the same face that was introduced with the OFA Elsa and Anna doll set, but her hairdo is new. Some of it is gathered into a ponytail (including her white streak), but most of it is straight down her back. She long stiff straight bangs in the front. She is wearing a nightgown, and a simplified coronation gown is included, with two hair ribbons, two hair clips and a crown. There is also a brush, a dressing screen and a chest. The chest opens up and is useful to store the little accessories after the set is deboxed. The best thing about this set is that there is a bed that is 11 1/2 inches long, the same length as the doll, so she can lay down in it without having to bend her knees, or having her feet over the end. The backing can also serve as a backdrop for the set after it is deboxed, especially if the backing is opened up. The set is available online on the ShopDisney site, but I haven't seen it in stores yet.

Minnie has been fully deboxed, and is free standing.
Here are detailed photos of the 2018 Minnie Mouse Rock the Dots Limited Edition Signature Doll. I picked her up in person at my local Disney Store on release day, Monday January 22, 2018, which is also National Polka Dot Day in the US. She is also available online in the US and European Disney Store websites. She is the sixth Signature Minnie doll to be released by the Disney Store, but the first Signature Minnie doll that I have bought for my collection. She is #2405 of 6000.
She is 11 inches tall to the top of her head, or 12 inches to the top of her ears. She has rooted hair and eyelashes, and her ears are covered in her hair. She has a rocker style outfit, with black faux leather jacket, white shirt, red double layer tulle skirt with silver glitter dots, and a red satin underskirt. She is wearing black leggings, and faux suede boots. She had molded white plastic gloves, large red cloth bow, and red plastic rimmed sunglasses. She also has a black purse hanging from her left wrist. She comes in a designer style case, with black plastic base, clear acrylic cover, with a black and white polka dot background. She also comes with a cardboard slipcover.
Here are some observations I made after deboxing her. She can free stand very stably. I also managed to get her in a running stance without using a stand. I decided to leave the jacket tacked to her shirt, and her shades sewn to her hair. Her purse has a metal snap closure, and opens like a real purse. She has a black body below her head. She has 11 points of articulation: ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees, although some of her joints have limited freedom of movement. Her hair ears have black rubber bands around the base of the ears, and are very neatly bound, with no unsightly nubs sticking out.

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.

I just received the Disney Designer Collection Premiere Series merchandise that I ordered online when they were released last Monday, September 17, 2018. They are the notecard set, the limited edition ornament set, and the limited edition pin sets. All of these items sold out on the release day. The notecards and possibly the ornament set will be available in stores later this month.
The ornament set contains framed artwork of the six Designer princesses, with their movie's year of release, icon and 'signature' in the back. They have gold strings to hang them up. They would be nice props to display next to the Designer dolls. They are made from resin, and are up to 4'' H. They are very impressive looking due to the large size, gold colored frames and striking artwork. It comes in a presentation box with a magnetic closure in the front lid. This is my favorite item among the merchandise I got today. It is a limited edition of 3100, and cost $59.95, which I think is a very reasonable price.
I got Ariel today. I ordered her online on release day, October 27, 2018. She is #2047 of 4500. She and the box arrived in perfect shape. However, the invitation card has slipped down in the plastic sleeve, and won't stay up. I love her face and hair, but her dress is a bit too gaudy for my taste, although it is appropriate for an 80's girl. Her hair is stiff at the ends to keep its curl, so it got a little messy when I broke it up to even out her hair in the back. I cut off the rubber band securing the purse string to her shoulder. I had to use a little tape to keep it from sliding off her shoulder afterwards. I show her boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I have her now on my desk, right next to me as I type this. It is convenient that I got her just before the next one, Tiana, is released tomorrow.

The November flyer includes release of Special Edition Animator Rapunzel and Premiere Series Tiana on November 3. Also shows the October Mickey by mistake for the November 17 release. Finally a special mickey Disney Store key for the first 90 guests who make a purchase on Sunday, November 18.
I also got a 25% Friends and Family coupon, good from November 8-11, 2018. The same discount will be available online by using the promo code DISNEYPAL.
Anna's coronation gown is fairly accurate, except for the heavily glittered skirt. I would have preferred the version that was in the Disney Parks Anna Doll Dress Set (2016). The glitter sheds readily, including on her legs, which is hard to get off since the rubbery legs have a sticky surface. However, the glitter does make the skirt stiff so it can keep a full shape with the need for a petticoat. Her pendant necklace is by far the most accurate that has been produced for a 12 inch doll. Her face mold is the same as the one they produced for the OFA 12 inch Anna dolls. Her face paint is very similar, except that they made her freckles more prominent and her rouge is darker. Her hair is also essentially the same as on the OFA doll, except for a prominent white streak. Whereas the pendant looks very good, her crown looks mighty cheap. She has black flats. Her outfit is a definite improvement over the 2014 Deluxe Singing Anna Doll, but I wish she had her old cute face.
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.
Elsa has been fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser stand.
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 doll box, with the front covers closed.
I received my Disney Designer Collection Premiere Series Snow White Limited Edition Doll today. I had ordered her online at the release day, shortly after 12 AM in the morning of Saturday October 6, 2018. She is #1301 of 4100. She came in a shipper box that is approximately the same size as the LE 17 inch doll shippers. It original shipping label said GIRLS TOYS LE PR DSGN SNOW DOLL F18, and CART #: 01298. There was a small piece of masking tape stuck to the side of the box with the actual edition number (matching the CoA): 1301. Inside there was another corrugated cardboard box snugly fitting in the outer shipping box. Inside that was the actual doll box, which was covered with tissue paper, and fit snugly in the inner shipping box, with cardboard caps on the top and bottom of the doll box. The shipper box was undamaged in transit, as was the inner box and the doll box itself.
The doll box has folding panels in the front with magnetic closure, with a large design sketch of Snow White and the year 1937 in large numerals. In the background are photographers in silhouette snapping photos, and a red carpet. The back of the box has angled corners, making for a hexagonal shaped box. The sides and back of the box also has images of Snow White. The top of the box has a clear window with the title of the collection in gold lettering. Inside the front covers are replicas of the movie poster, invitation and tickets to the premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, on December 21, 1937. The doll is behind a rectangular viewing window extending almost the full width and height of the box.
The inner box containing the doll and front viewing window can be slid out from the outer box. It is entirely enclosed, so can be displayed as is, without having to deal with the front covers either covering up the doll, or taking up space in front or to the sides of the inner box. The doll is on top a red carpet that has steps in front, and is flocked cardboard.
The doll herself is by far my favorite of the current Designer Premiere Series. I'm slightly biased because Snow White is my favorite Disney Princess, and am so happy that she turned out so well. I think her gown and accessories are very beautifully designed and produced. It also is very fitting for Snow White, and would be something she would wear to the premiere of her own movie.
I show her boxed, with the inner box removed from the outer box, and finally with the front viewing window removed from the inner box.
I will fully debox her tomorrow and post photos here when I do.
I got my Couture de Force Elsa figure from the Disney Store on January 6, 2015. She is also available from other sites for a considerable discount from the list price. The details are amazing, and her transparent cape looks like it is actually made of ice. There are a total of five crystals - one in her crown, one in her necklace, one in the snowflake she is holding in her left hand, one in her hair (all of which are round clear gemstones), and a larger rectangular blue stone in her bodice. There is iridescent glitter on the snowflakes in her skirt and cape. There is just one significant paint flaw, with some paint rubbed off or missing from one of her fingers. I didn't even notice it until I examined a closeup photo that I took of her right hand. Otherwise, she is in perfect condition, with an excellent paint job.
Her face is very pretty, but is not as movie accurate as that of the Grand Jester Elsa. Her face and eyes are too round, and her nose is too narrow and straight. She is 8'' high to the top of her head, slightly taller than the 7 1/2'' H Elsa Grand Jester bust. She is very stable free standing.
Designer Belle and Gaston have been deboxed. They are reposed in their original display case, which is uncovered and without the backing card. They are standing next to each other, supported by the built-in display stands. Gaston is holding Belle's book in his hand.
Detailed photos of the Belle and Gaston Doll Set, the second release of this year's Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. I got them from the store raffle on the release day of Tuesday September 20, 2016.

Deboxing Holiday Elsa. The covers are removed, leaving Elsa in clear view, attached to the cardboard backing. Then Elsa is removed from the backing. She is still attached to the display stand, and various plastic supports. Then she is removed from the large plastic support behind her head and back, and the wires around her back and waist are removed. On the back of her head, there is a circular clear adhesive tape protecting her hairdo, which we remove. Then we turn her around, and start removing packaging restraints from her dress and cape. First we remove the tissue paper stuffing under her cape. Then we remove the display stand. Then we remove the tissue paper under her dress, and snip various packaging restraints in her dress and cape. Here are closeups of her dark blue translucent ice heels.
Detailed photos of the Olaf's Frozen Adventure Elsa Limited Edition Doll. I got her from my local Disney Store on release day, Tuesday December 12, 2017, along with Anna. I was the only one waiting for the dolls before the store opened. She is #3818 of 7000.
I like her very much, both her new face and outfit. But she does have a couple of defects. One is that her hair is a bit messy on top, where part of her crown of bangs going the wrong way. The other is that there is a shallow cut on her forehead, that is especially visible when looking straight on in bright lighting. I think of it as a scar from the fight in the ice castle. The nicest thing I've discovered about the doll is that she has dark blue ice heels.
Unlike the comparable dolls Frozen Fever Elsa and Harrods Snow Queen Elsa, OFA Elsa's cape doesn't have any embroidery. The snowflake and icicle patterns are depicted using glued on silver glitter appliques and clear crystals. Her dress does have considerable use of embroidery. I will call her Holiday Elsa since she is in her Christmas outfit.

I just received the Snow White Dance Party Playset from the Disney Store. I had ordered two of them when they were released last Monday (Sept 24), and they came in the original shipper box packed together. That reminds me of how the two Disney Princess Designer Collection Snow White dolls came two to a box when I ordered them together. The two playsets were placed facing each other, with a tissue paper between them and on top, with no wriggle room. The shipper box was intact except for a small dent in one corner, which translated into a dent in one of the playsets. The other playset box was in almost perfect condition, so I chose the dented one to debox.
It is available online in the US ShopDisney site for $29.95, but I haven't seen it in the local Disney Stores yet.
This is a wonderful set depicting one of the best scenes in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Snow White dances with Dopey (who is standing on Sneezy), while Grumpy plays the organ. There is also a chair, a bluebird and a small deer in the set. Snow White is a 11.5 inch tall Classic Princess doll with an accurate depiction of her Princess gown. There is glitter on her dark blue bodice, but none on her pale yellow skirt. She has flat feet and yellow flats. Her hair is heavily gelled to keep its style, so it is quite stiff throughout.
The rest of the contents of the set are figures. Grumpy is made to sit in the organ seat, with his hands on the keyboard. The organ pipes move up and down when Grumpy's accordion-like seat is pressed. The deer free stands very stably. Dopey is in a long coat, with Sneezy underneath him. Sneezy is mostly hidden under the coat, but his lower legs and feet stick out the bottom. Dopey/Sneezy can free stand very stably, even with the odd dancing stance of Sneezy's feet.
The cardboard backing has artwork depicting the inside of the Dwarfs' cottage. So after deboxing the contents, the backing can be opened up to provide a backdrop for the dancing scene.
The set can be placed back in the original box after deboxing, which I show in my last photo.

Belle's blue peasant outfit and her yellow ball gown. I left the gloves tacked to her yellow dress.
Detailed photos of the accessories included with the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set. They are all deboxed. They include additional outfits for Belle and the Beast, vinyl figures of the Beast's enchanted staff, a bluebird friend of Belle, Belle's book, the enchanted rose in bell jar, and the enchanted mirror.
Here are detailed photos of the newly released Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set ($79.95), that I just got from my local Disney Store. The accessory figures look really detailed and well done. In fact, I like Chip better in this set than the one with the new Classic Belle doll. Also the bluebird looks nicer than the one with the new Classic Snow White. Belle and Beast are in their winter outfits. Belle also has her blue peasant outfit and her yellow ball gown. Beast also has his formal outfit. Philippe is way too small, but is a very cute plush. I like this set way better than the ones for Aladdin or Sleeping Beauty.
Deboxing LE Elena. All covers are removed, leaving her on the cardboard backing, which is free standing.
I got the Elena of Avalor LE 17 inch Doll from my local Disney Store on the release day, Tuesday November 21, 2017. I went to my store at 11:30 am, instead of my usual line up before the store opens for LE doll releases. There were three of the doll behind the counter, but placed sideways and with no promo placard. So it wasn't obvious that there was a Limited Edition doll release today. The CM I bought the doll from didn't seem to know anything about the release, so I don't know how many dolls the store got in, how many they sold, or how many were remaining. I took the first doll that was handed to me, since the doll looked perfect to me. She is #1375 of 6000.

The 2017 Disney Classic Doll Collection was released by the Disney Store on the morning of July 18, 2017 online. That was conveniently after the 25% off Friends and Family sale ended. Some of the dolls were also at my local Disney Store the same day. I bought all the new Princess dolls they had, plus Flynn Rider (to keep my Tangled: The Series Rapunzel dolls company). I was most excited to get the new Mulan doll, now in her green dress, and the Wedding Ariel doll. They were all $16.95, but I was able to use my D23 coupon to take 15% off the price (so they were $14.40 plus tax). The remaining 2016 dolls in stock were reduced to $9.99, but I didn't get any of those.

I got Ariel today. I ordered her online on release day, October 27, 2018. She is #2047 of 4500. She and the box arrived in perfect shape. However, the invitation card has slipped down in the plastic sleeve, and won't stay up. I love her face and hair, but her dress is a bit too gaudy for my taste, although it is appropriate for an 80's girl. Her hair is stiff at the ends to keep its curl, so it got a little messy when I broke it up to even out her hair in the back. I cut off the rubber band securing the purse string to her shoulder. I had to use a little tape to keep it from sliding off her shoulder afterwards. I show her boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I have her now on my desk, right next to me as I type this. It is convenient that I got her just before the next one, Tiana, is released tomorrow.

Detailed photos of the Olaf's Frozen Adventure Anna Limited Edition Doll. I got her from my local Disney Store on release day, Tuesday December 12, 2017, along with Elsa. I was the only one waiting for the dolls before the store opened. She is #1234 of 7000, which I think is a really cool number.
I like her a lot more than I thought I would from the stock and leaked photos. I don't think she looks goofy, even with her smirk. But I do think that her in box pose is very awkward. The nicest thing I've discovered about the doll is that she has lavender tights, which compares nicely with the green tights of FF Anna.
I show her in box, and with all the covers removed. I will debox her later. I show her next to my deboxed Frozen Fever Anna doll, who I think is closest to her in design among the Anna LE dolls.

First Look - Deboxed
The stepsisters Anastasia and Drizella have been completely deboxed, and are posed standing side by side. They are supported by doll stands (not included). Joining them are the sisters from the original Cinderella Deluxe Doll Set, with the erroneous faces. From left to right they are old and new Anastasia and the new and old Drizella.
Today (Nov 19, 2012) I finally received the Disney Store's Cinderella Deluxe Doll Gift Set with the stepsisters' faces corrected. I also got the corrected Cinderella Mini Doll Set (not shown here). The corrected sets were available online about a month ago, but I waited until it was independently verified by a customer that the Disney Store was indeed shipping corrected sets. Also, I waited until I could get them during a 25% off general online sale.
Anastasia and Drizella have their faces switched to the correct bodies, that is their heads are switched, but they kept their hair and outfits. There appears to be a line across the forehead of Drizella, but I don't know if that was part of the original head mold for her or a factory defect, until I see other copies of the new set. I have not yet the corrected set in stores. Since Drizella's head originally went on Anastasia, who has a much lower hairline, that might explain the line. The line may also appear very faintly on the website's high resolution image of the dolls.
I photograph the stepsisters boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. Of course, I also pose the stepsisters side by side with their older versions.
Snow White with the inner box removed from the outer box.
Here are photos of Snow White's inner box taken out of the outer box. That way the doll can be displayed without the front flaps getting in the way or taking up display space. It slides out of the outer box smoothly, but it helps if two people do the job, especially if the inner box is a tight fit. One person holds the outer box steady while the other pulls the inner box out. The inner box is entirely enclosed, and is the same hexagonal shape as the outer box. There is even images of paparazzi on the sides and back of the inner box. The front of the inner box contains the clear plastic viewing window, and slides off easily off the back of the inner box. The Certificate of Authenticity in under the inner box, between the bottom of the inner front lid and the bottom of the back of the inner box. The display doll has a blank edition number on the CoA. There are packaging ties and tabs showing in the back of the inner box, but they are not too unsightly. With the viewing window taken off, the doll is in clear view. She is on a raised platform, with steps in front, covered in red velvet. Looking her accessory purse close up, I can finally see a large letter S in the middle of the ornate golden pattern. Also I noticed for the first time her upper lipstick pattern, which has U shaped indentation in the middle, with sharp corners, which I find a little strange.
I have measured the box for these dolls. It is 16.5'' H x 12'' W x 6'' D. That compares with the original Designer cases that were 15'' H x 7'' W x 7''D. The 2017 Designer cases were 15'' H x 9'' W x 9'' D. The regular 17'' LE Doll boxes are 19'' H x 11'' W x 6'' D. To put the box size in perspective, if you put the six dolls in this series in their boxes side by side, they take up six feet or 72 inches. If you put the 10 original Designer Princess dolls in their cases side by side, they take up 70 inches, or a couple of inches less than the six dolls of the Premiere Series.
If you wish to have the dolls visible, there is a problem because the front panels don't bend all the way back to the sides,so they either take up a lot of room to the sides and/or the front. If you want to remove the front panels, then they are attached to the outer box, so you have the find room to store the outer box, since it won't slide behind the inner box. So in effect there is a problem very similar to the slip cover problem that the original Designer dolls had.

Safety
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Belle is in her pink and red winter outfit. She has a dark red velvet cape with white fur trim, which is secured with a red ribbon tied in the front. Her pink satin dress skirt has a center light pink panel in the skirt with dark pink glitter roses which don't shed. Her dark brown hair is stiffened in the ends to keep its curl, which looks messy in the box pose. I tried to make it as even and neat as I could after deboxing her, but it still has a Medusa look. She is wearing dark pink flats, which match the color of her skirt.
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.

The inner doll box, taken out of the outer box. Then the front viewing window is taken off the inner box, so that the doll is now in clear view.
I received my Disney Designer Collection Premiere Series Snow White Limited Edition Doll today. I had ordered her online at the release day, shortly after 12 AM in the morning of Saturday October 6, 2018. She is #1301 of 4100. She came in a shipper box that is approximately the same size as the LE 17 inch doll shippers. It original shipping label said GIRLS TOYS LE PR DSGN SNOW DOLL F18, and CART #: 01298. There was a small piece of masking tape stuck to the side of the box with the actual edition number (matching the CoA): 1301. Inside there was another corrugated cardboard box snugly fitting in the outer shipping box. Inside that was the actual doll box, which was covered with tissue paper, and fit snugly in the inner shipping box, with cardboard caps on the top and bottom of the doll box. The shipper box was undamaged in transit, as was the inner box and the doll box itself.
The doll box has folding panels in the front with magnetic closure, with a large design sketch of Snow White and the year 1937 in large numerals. In the background are photographers in silhouette snapping photos, and a red carpet. The back of the box has angled corners, making for a hexagonal shaped box. The sides and back of the box also has images of Snow White. The top of the box has a clear window with the title of the collection in gold lettering. Inside the front covers are replicas of the movie poster, invitation and tickets to the premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, on December 21, 1937. The doll is behind a rectangular viewing window extending almost the full width and height of the box.
The inner box containing the doll and front viewing window can be slid out from the outer box. It is entirely enclosed, so can be displayed as is, without having to deal with the front covers either covering up the doll, or taking up space in front or to the sides of the inner box. The doll is on top a red carpet that has steps in front, and is flocked cardboard.
The doll herself is by far my favorite of the current Designer Premiere Series. I'm slightly biased because Snow White is my favorite Disney Princess, and am so happy that she turned out so well. I think her gown and accessories are very beautifully designed and produced. It also is very fitting for Snow White, and would be something she would wear to the premiere of her own movie.
I show her boxed, with the inner box removed from the outer box, and finally with the front viewing window removed from the inner box.
I will fully debox her tomorrow and post photos here when I do.
The new Animators' Collection Pocahontas 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.
