Deboxing Cinderella. First the inner box is removed, and the viewing window removed from the inner box. Then the doll and stage are removed from the inner box. Then the plastic support is removed from her back and head. Then the skirt is freed from the cardboard stage. Then the base of the display stand is freed from the stage. Then the display stand is removed from the doll. We discover that the shoes are missing gem stones. :(

 

I just received Premiere Series Cinderella from the Disney Store today. I ordered her on release day, Saturday October 13, 2018. She is #1607 of 4400. She arrived in perfect shape. However there was three fingerprints on the inside of the viewing window above her head, that you can see in some of the photos.

 

Her face and makeup are absolutely gorgeous. I wish her hair was closer to the design sketch. Also there is too much black in the skirt, and the outer tulle reminds me of LE Ursula's skirt. But overall she is very striking, and represents Cinderella very well. I rank her third in this doll series, after Snow White and Jasmine.

The Disney Designer Collection proudly presents our Premiere Series Cinderella Limited Edition Doll, inspired by the fashions of 1950, when elegant gowns graced both red carpets and silver screens as part of the Hollywood dream factory.

 

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.

The Belle 12'' doll standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. She is wearing her pink winter outfit, with her cape off. Her ponytail was a bit messy after taking it out of the hood of the cape, so I combed it to make it as neat as I could. It was curly, and off center. There was a nice pink bow in her hair above the ponytail. The pink and red dress was covered in glitter, which did shed. The half length sleeves had large ruffled cuffs. Belle looks dainty in her pink dress without the cape and hood. I also left out the bluebird in these poses.

 

Detailed photos of the dolls in the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set, deboxed. They include the 1/6 scale Beast, Belle and Gaston dolls, and the Philippe plush. Beast and Belle are in their winter outfits. I show Beast and Belle both with and without their capes. The bluebird figurine is included with Belle when she has her cape on. Beast is not that stable free standing, so I support him with a Kaiser stand for these photos.

 

I just got the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set ($79.95) from my local Disney Store (on Thursday June 30, 2016). 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.

The Designer Snow White is fully deboxed, and put back on her display stand, holding her purse and with her fur stole around her arms.

 

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 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 just received the Anna Couture de Force Figure from the Disney Store. She is $69.95, $5 less expensive than the Elsa figure. She was actually shipped by Enesco, the manufacturer. She is an 8 inch high resin figure of Anna in her black and green Coronation outfit. She is holding a pink fan in one hand and holding up her skirt in the other. It recalls the scene of her singing the "sophisticated grace" part of "For the First Time in Forever." She is a very pretty figure, with lots of details that are true of the movie character. There is gold glitter on the fan, which does shed. There are two minor but noticeable defects in the figure. One is that the gold glitter is applied unevenly on the front of the fan. The other is that there is a small gash in her left shoulder (to our right), that also cuts into the strap of her gown. Other than that, the details and painting are very nicely down. She is very sturdy free standing, and is considerably heavier than the companion Elsa figure.

 

I photograph Anna from all angles, and also show her with the Elsa Couture de Force Figure. I like the rendering of Elsa's face better than Anna, and Elsa's transparent cape is amazing, and is unlike that of any other Elsa figure. But the Anna figure is matches with Elsa very well. Both of them are still available from the US Disney Store website.

I was lucky enough to get Belle at the Disney Store today. There was about 70 people entered in the raffle, the most of any release in the series, so I was surprised and happy that I got picked. She is the sixth and final Premiere Series doll to be released. She is #1132 of 4500. I now have all six of the dolls, all gotten first hand, and am glad that the releases are finally over.

 

I love Belle's face and hair, her Beast purse and her jewelry, but her dress isn't one of my favorites from this series. My doll has some stains on her face, that look like stray hair product. I will clean them off when I debox her. Some strands of her earrings were stuck in her hair, that I freed when I took all the covers off the doll box.

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 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.

Gaston 12'' doll, free standing. He has what I presume is simulated stubble on his chin, but it looks more like dirt to me. LOL. His head turns with a little difficulty, because his ponytail is stuck behind his shirt. The ponytail can't go outside his shirt because of the thickness of the collar. His belt is sewn to his shirt. He has black knit tights instead of pants.

 

Detailed photos of the dolls in the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set, deboxed. They include the 1/6 scale Beast, Belle and Gaston dolls, and the Philippe plush. Beast and Belle are in their winter outfits. I show Beast and Belle both with and without their capes. The bluebird figurine is included with Belle when she has her cape on. Beast is not that stable free standing, so I support him with a Kaiser stand for these photos.

 

I just got the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set ($79.95) from my local Disney Store (on Thursday June 30, 2016). 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.

Prince Eric Plush Doll - 21''

First Look. Personal photos.

 

The new Eric 21'' plush is a good match for the new 21'' Ariel plush (in pink dress). He looks pretty good, and is solidly built. However the expression on his face is a little goofy, with the puzzled eyebrows and his mouth in a smirk. His eyes are wide open and staring straight ahead, with his pupils rather small. Almost as though he has been hypnotized by Vanessa. He looks spiffy in his white shirt, red satin sash, blue pants and black rubber boots.

Deboxing singing Ariel. Ariel removed from backing. Lying down, rear view.

 

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.

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.

My complete set of all four Monsters University Speak-N-Scare Talking Action Figures, which I received from the Disney Store a couple of weeks ago. They are Art, Sulley, Mike and Squishy. I've been too busy to debox them yet, to explore their full capabilities. But it's fun just pressing their sound buttons to hear them talk and make scary noises. They have been on sale for several weeks. Right now they are $25 each, $10 off their list price.

 

The Designer Snow White is fully deboxed, and put back on her display stand, holding her purse and with her fur stole around her arms.

 

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 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.

Holiday Anna next to my deboxed Frozen Fever Anna doll (2015), who I think is closest to her in design among the Anna LE dolls.

 

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.

The Belle 12'' doll standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. She is wearing her pink winter outfit, with her cape off. Her ponytail was a bit messy after taking it out of the hood of the cape, so I combed it to make it as neat as I could. It was curly, and off center. There was a nice pink bow in her hair above the ponytail. The pink and red dress was covered in glitter, which did shed. The half length sleeves had large ruffled cuffs. Belle looks dainty in her pink dress without the cape and hood. I also left out the bluebird in these poses.

 

Detailed photos of the dolls in the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set, deboxed. They include the 1/6 scale Beast, Belle and Gaston dolls, and the Philippe plush. Beast and Belle are in their winter outfits. I show Beast and Belle both with and without their capes. The bluebird figurine is included with Belle when she has her cape on. Beast is not that stable free standing, so I support him with a Kaiser stand for these photos.

 

I just got the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set ($79.95) from my local Disney Store (on Thursday June 30, 2016). 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.

Enchanted staff figurines. Mrs. Potts and Chip.

 

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.

Holiday Elsa has been fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by the included display stand.

 

I was surprised that her dress was about a half inch short of floor length. That is probably so that her ice heels can be seen under her dress, when it is pulled tight against her body. Her dress also has a long train, which is hidden when her cape is behind her. Her velvet dress has a deep red satin lining. Her cape has a sheer blue lining. Her cape flows better than those of Snow Queen or Frozen Fever Elsa because it is made from lighter material, and doesn't have any embroidery.

 

I will compare OFA Elsa with the other 17 inch Elsa dolls soon.

 

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.

Gaston 12'' doll, free standing. He has what I presume is simulated stubble on his chin, but it looks more like dirt to me. LOL. His head turns with a little difficulty, because his ponytail is stuck behind his shirt. The ponytail can't go outside his shirt because of the thickness of the collar. His belt is sewn to his shirt. He has black knit tights instead of pants.

Snow White with the inner box removed from the outer box, and the front lid of the inner box removed. The doll is now in clear view.

 

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.

Snow White, 10/6/2018, LE 4100

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 visited my local Disney Store today (1/23/2019), and got several newly available items.

 

The Walt Disney Signature Collection 30th Anniversary The Little Mermaid Blu-ray / DVD / Digital combo pack pre-order ($24.95). Included is a lithograph set which I got to take home today, and a pre-order voucher folder. The folder has a $10 off $40 coupon on the back. The voucher is to be returned to the same store between February 26 and May 26, 2019 to obtain the video. The pre-order is also available online.

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.

Designer Evil Queen Doll In Display Case

 

At my Disney Store, the right to buy Maleficent today was ''raffled'' off to twenty lucky people. There were maybe 30-40 people entered, and I was not one of the winners. So I will have to get her online tonight. There were a total of 13,000 of each doll produced, so there should be no problem getting a doll online.

 

Individual dolls may be purchased online and in stores beginning on September 10, 2012, and ending on October 15. One doll will be made available on in stores Monday of each week. Then on Tuesday (at 12 am Pacific Time) that doll will be available online. Here is the list of the dolls and their release dates:

 

September 10, 2012: Maleficent, from Sleeping Beauty (1959).

September 17, 2012: Evil Queen, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

September 24, 2012: Queen of Hearts, from Alice in Wonderland (1951).

October 01, 2012: Ursula, from The Little Mermaid (1989).

October 08, 2012: Mother Gothel, from Tangled (2010).

October 15, 2012: Cruella de Vil, from One Hundred and One Dalmations (1961).

 

Sally Coffin Doll. Her coffin box is opened, showing her in clear view. She is 14 inches tall, can move her head, arms and legs, and has a cloth dress.

 

My Disney Store mail call today. Four dolls from the Nightmare Before Christmas Collection by Diamond Select Toys, and the glow in the dark Oogie Boogie Sketchbook ornament by Disney Store. I show the items as a group. Then I show closeups of Jack and Sally with the coffin covers opened. Finally I show Dr Finkelstein and the Mayor fully deboxed.

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.

Here is my collection of Disney Store and Disney Parks Limited Edition 17 Inch dolls from Princess and Alice movies, both animated and live action. There are a total 64 dolls, arranged in 8 rows of 8 dolls each. They are grouped by movie, and ordered from front to back, by the date of the first doll released for that movie. So Snow White gets the honor of being in the front, as opposed to being in the back row in my previous group photos of my collection. Since they are so tightly packed together, much of their outfits are not visible here, except for the ones in the front row. I meant to take this photo earlier in the year, but I'm glad I got a to do it before the first LE 17 inch doll is released this year. I am missing the platinum Alice and Mad Hatter set, and the platinum LA Belle and the Prince set, both of which I skipped by choice.

Deboxing the Aurora and Maleficent Doll Set. Aurora has been deboxed, leaving her stool and Maleficent still attached to 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.
