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.

 

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.

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.

Deboxing Elsa. The back of her dress is opened. She doesn't have any manufacturer's stamps on her back, unlike Anna.

 

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.

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.

New Disney Store Beast medium plush ($24.95). Beast is way too small compared to Belle, and also cannot lay down nicely or free stand. However, he can sit upright on a stool, so that is how I took most of the photos of him.

 

Detailed photos of the three Beauty and the Beast plush that I bought on June 30, 2016 from the Disney Store. The Disney Store also had plush of many of the enchanted staff of the Beast, which I may buy at a later time.

Detailed photos of the Rapunzel Limited Edition Maquette by Enesco. She is part of the Walt Disney Archives Collection. She costs $175, half the original cost of the Elsa maquette. I ordered her from the Disney Store on October 3, and received her today (October 12). She was originally announced as LE 5000, to be released in February 2017, but was delayed many months and reduced in edition size. My Rapunzel is 207 of 1200. The number is on the Certificate of Authenticity, as well as under the base of the maquette. She is very pretty, and well painted, although there are a few minor paint flaws. There are some stray paint marks on her face, but they are not glaring errors. Her surface is rougher than that of the Elsa and Anna maquettes in the same series. She isn't as spectacular as the Elsa maquette, but I like her better than the Anna, and am very glad I got her.

 

I show Rapunzel alone from all angles. I also show her next to the Elsa and Anna maquettes. Rapunzel is 8 3/4 inches high, and with the base is 9 1/2 inches high. This compares to the 9 1/2 inch Anna (10 1/4 with the base), and the 9 1/4 inch Elsa (9 3/4 with the base).

Here is the My Size Anna 38 inch doll (Jakks Pacific, 2014) wearing the newly released the Anna Deluxe Holiday Costume by Disney Store (from Olaf's Frozen Adventure). It is a size 3, the right size for the doll. It fits her very well, except the waist is a little too wide, and the sleeves are too long. I show her both with and without the vest. As with Elsa, Anna is barefoot, because I don't have appropriate shoes for her yet. The costume is currently available in stores and online, for $64.95.

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.

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 Beast 12'' doll standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. Wearing his winter outfit, with cape. The removable cape is blue velvet on the outside and dark red satin on the inside. It contains foam padding to make the Beast appear much bulkier than his actual body. The collar of the cape doesn't fully cover the Beast's awkward looking neck in the back. My Beast's neck joint was very loose, meaning that it would spin around without any resistance, and was hard to make it keep a pose (that wasn't straight ahead).

 

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.

Comparing the OZ (Oscar Diggs) versus the Lone Ranger 12'' Dolls by the Disney Store. Both were released in 2013 for Disney live action feature movies. They are posed standing side by side. I used doll stands to support them, even though they can free stand. That's because I wanted to pose them exactly the way I wanted, without having to fiddle with their balance. Both of them have to be slightly stooped to be balanced and fully stable when free standing with their arms by their sides.

Deboxing Anna. She is still attached to the cardboard backing, but all the box covers are removed.

 

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.

Deboxing Elsa

 

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.

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.

Undressing the Wicked Witch of the West 11.5'' doll by the Disney Store. Her hat and broom have been taken off, and placed off camera. Next her dress, boots and fingerless gloves have been removed, and also place off camera. Finally her hood and leggings are taken off, and placed next to her naked body. She is bald under the hood, and has painted on black panties. There are manufacturer's markings in the small of her back, and on the back of her head. There are a lot of black fibers stuck on her rubber legs, that came off the leggings. As to be expected, she is green all over, except for the black panties.

 

The Wicked Witch of the West 11.5'' doll by the Disney Store has been completely deboxed, and is posed standing, supported by a doll stand (not included). She is a movie accurate collectible doll based on a character in the upcoming Disney mixed live action and CGI film Oz The Great and Powerful.

 

She has green skin and is bald under her black hood. Over the hood is a tall and pointy witches hat, which fits snuggly over her hooded head. She has an angry and determined look on her face, has beady littler brown eyes, arched eyebrows, a pointy hooked nose and pointy chin. She has a heavy dose of rouge on her cheeks and chin. Her small closed frowning mouth has pink lips.

 

Her fingers are missing the long black claws of the movie character. They are carrying her broom, which is attached to her hands by rubber bands, which I have elected to leave alone. She has the old style (2011) Disney princess body, so she had articulation in her neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hips. She has rubber legs, with internal click stop knee joints, and feet in a fixed angled position for wearing high heels.

 

Her all black outfit is a very accurate copy of what she wears in the movie. Her dress has a faux leather bodice with puffy upper sleeves and stretchy lower sleeves. Over her hands she has cloth half gloves. Her full length knit lace skirt is over a glittery stretchy underskirt; both can be opened in the front to reveal her legs. She has full length stretchy leggings, and knee high boots.

 

She is very unstable free standing, so I have posed her standing supported by a doll stand, which is not included with the doll.

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 really enjoying America. Speaking of America, I knew there was a reason I wanted to bring America. I named her specifically for this and then I forgot to bring her... Sheesh.

Deboxing the Rapunzel Feature Doll. Rapunzel's inner box slides out from the bottom, not the top of the box. First you have to detach the 'try me' switch from the front window by undoing two layers of tape. Once freed from the tape, it can be pushed back through a hole in the box to fall inside the box. The other end of the switch plugs into a socket in the back of the doll, and is detachable once the doll is deboxed. Then the doll is removed from the box, still attached to the inner backing. The backing can free stand, and now the doll is in the clear.

 

The recently released Disney Store Deluxe Feature Rapunzel Doll. She is part of the line of new 16 inch singing Princess dolls for 2015. They not only sing, but each also comes with an accessory and have other special features. They also come in a sturdy reusable box with a satin carrying handle. They are available online and in stores in North America, and cost $49.95 each. Rapunzel I think is the most impressive doll in the line, and the most different from previous singing dolls of the same character.

 

Once the 'try me' switch is detached, you trigger the sound and lights by sliding the lantern back and forth a little way along her hand. There is a LED light in the palm of her hand that flickers while she is singing, and lights up the lantern. She sings about 35 seconds of the 'Healing Incantation' song very clearly and just the right volume. The sound is better than any previous DS singing doll that I have heard. The gentleness of the song, with accompanying lights, and the beauty of the doll, makes for a very moving experience. I don't think I will get tired of hearing the song and seeing the lights on this doll.

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.

Here are some detailed photos of the March set of Mickey Mouse Memories limited release plush, mug and pin set. They were on display at my local Disney Store. They will be released in stores and online in the US next week, on Saturday, March 17, 2018. I also place my January Mickey Mouse Memories plush next to the March plush, to compare their sizes. The March plush has a head about the same size, but his torso is smaller, and he is slightly shorter. He is made from a shiny vinyl like material in his shorts, shoes and nose, and a canvas like material in his upper body, including his head. I'm still undecided on whether I will get him, as his multi-colored pattern is a little too garish for my taste, and he is smaller than the January one.

Comparing the Evanora (Wicked Witch of the East) 11 1/2 inch dolls made by Tollytots versus those made by the Disney Store, for the upcoming Disney movie Oz The Great and Powerful. The dolls are posed together, and compared in written reviews.

In these photos, the Tollytots doll is on the left, and the Disney Store doll is on the right. The first photo has them boxed. The succeeding photos have them deboxed and standing side by side, supported by doll stands (not included with the dolls).

 

My review will breakdown the differences in the dolls in various physical categories.

 

Packaging:

They are both in plastic and cardboard packages that display the dolls well. They are fairly sturdy, but are not especially reusable. They don't have a built in doll stand, so don't have a way to keep the dolls upright if they are to be put back in the box after being removed. The Disney Store box has a cleaner look, with clear plastic on all sides except the back and the bottom. It is also easier to get the doll out of the box, and the box is fairly easy to put back together to be reused. The Tollytots doll is in a box within a box, and has a lot of tape attaching the plastic window to the inner cardboard backing. It is trickier getting the doll out of the package, and also harder to put the box back together if it is to be reused after deboxing the doll.

 

Face:The Disney Store doll has much more movie accurate facial features than the Tollytots doll. She has smaller, narrower, side-glancing brown eyes, darker eyebrows, fewer upper and lower eyelashes, sharper features, paler skin, smaller mouth with paler red lips. She looks more like a real person (Rachel Weisz), whereas the Tollytots doll looks like a generic doll.

 

Hair:The Tollytots doll's hair is more movie accurate, being shoulder length reddish brown hair, mixed with black hair, with a widow's peak. Her hair is stiff with hair product, so I've been afraid to fix up the hair in the back to make it more even.

 

The Disney Store doll is jet black, with a large curly bang, with some longer hair tied into a bun of sorts in the back. There may be scenes where she wears this alternate hairdo, but I haven't noticed it yet in trailers for the movie. Her hair is considerably softer than the Tollytots doll, except for the curly bang in front.

 

Outfits:

The Tollytots dress is closer to the dress of Evanora in the main promo images. It is a green satin form fitting one piece dress, with a flaired lower skirt, and a glittering black mesh overlay. There is gold trim at the neckline, the full length sleeves are black mesh with gold trim, and there are green glittering decorations at the shoulders representing feathers. There is a slit on the left side of the skirt, so her lower legs can be exposed.

 

The Disney Store dress looks like the alternative solid green dress in some scenes of the trailers, although it should be a darker green. It is in two layers, the upper one a flowing bright green strapless dress with covered in green glitter, with clear rhinestones interspersed. The back of the dress is oversized, to become a circular tail that drapes over the ground. It has black mesh trim at the neckline, black lace sleeves, and feathery black decoration in the upper back. The skirt opens up in the front to reveal a solid dark green satin slip underneath, which also opens up in front to reveal her lower legs. It is much more impressive than the Tollytots outfit.

 

Both dolls are missing the shear cape that the movie character wears.

 

Shoes:The Tollytots doll wears knee high black high heeled boots, with simulated laces in front.

 

The Disney Store doll's boots are less movie accurate, as they are missing the laces in front.

 

Body:The Tollytots doll is 11 3/4 inches high, a quarter inch taller than the Disney Store doll. Her skin is a darker flesh tone than the Disney Store doll, and is less movie accurate. She has a thicker, longer, more tapered neck than the Disney doll. She has longer more realistic looking fingers. The Tollytots doll has solid plastic legs, whereas the DS doll has flexible rubber legs. Without undressing the dolls, I can't compare the other features of their bodies.

 

Articulation:The Tollytots doll has jointed neck, shoulders, elbows and hips. Her ball jointed neck has about the same amount of freedom as the DS doll, but is looser. Same goes for her shoulders. Her elbows have considerably less freedom of movement than the DS doll, but has about the same stiffness. Because of the tight fit of their skirts, I couldn't find the range of movement of either dolls' legs.

 

However, the Disney Doll has considerably more articulation than the Tollytots doll. She has neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip and knee joints. The knee joints are internal click stop hinge joints in her rubber legs.

 

Accessories:The Tollytots doll has a gold tiara and similated black and green feather headdress. She is wearing a gold necklace with solid green jewel, which looks more like jade than emerald.

 

The Disney doll has much more movie accurate accessories. The gold tiara is a bright gold color, and looks metallic even though it is plastic. Atop the tiara are black and green feathery plumes, which are made of separate fibers rather than glittery mesh. They are easily shaped using your fingers, and look very pretty and glamorous. The necklace is made of black beads, with a transparent green jewel pendant, representing her magical emerald amulet.

 

Summary:The Tollytots doll is pretty, but is much less movie accurate, and has much less detailed and impressive outfit and accessories. She is also less articulated, so is less posable than the Disney doll. Overall, the Disney doll looks like a true collector's doll, whereas the Tollytots doll is more of a play doll, which is also indicated by their relative prices.

My 2015 Limited Edition Aladdin 18 Inch Doll has been fully deboxed. He is free standing, with his sword in his right hand. I have left out the Abu figure from these photos.

 

I got LE Aladdin in person from the Disney Store on the release day (October 13, 2015) for the Aladdin Diamond Edition DVD and Limited Edition Jasmine, Aladdin and Jafar dolls. He is 18 inches tall, and is numbered 2094 of 3500. He has the same construction as the male LE dolls starting from the 2013 Prince Eric doll, with ball jointed elbows, wrists and ankles. He is in his street rat outfit, with a sword and Abu as accessories. He is barefoot and stands flat footed in the box.

 

Photos only now being uploaded to my Flickr account a year and a half later. I am missing most of the boxed and deboxing photos. I have added a recently taken photo of the Certificate of Authenticity.

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.

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.

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.

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 notecard set contains 24 cards, 4 for each of the 6 Princesses represented with the artwork for the Designer doll, and 26 color coded envelopes. It doesn't have the stickers that previous notecard set had, but it has a velvet ribbon that wraps around the set to secure the lid to the box. The cards are 6'' H x 4'' W, and are blank inside. I like the all of the artwork, which wraps around to the backside of the cards. It's price is $16.95.

2016 Classic Snow White has been completely deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser stand (not included with the doll). The bluebird figurine is perched on her index figure (he can also be placed on her thumb).

 

Added detailed photos of Snow White. The glitter covered cape is a bit stiff, but I do like the glitter skirt, since it keeps its shape better than a plain satin skirt. It is similar to the skirt of the 2014 Classic Snow White and the 2013 Singing Snow White 12'' dolls. However, the gold glitter from the skirt does shed, and found its way on her rubber legs, even though she had tissue paper wrapped around them. The best new feature of this Snow White doll is the blue bird figurine. It's claws can grasp the doll's index finger or thumb very securely. It is reminiscent of the blue bird that comes with the LE Snow White 17'' doll, but is much less accurate and realistic, as it is entirely blue except for his eyes and beak. My doll came with hair that was a bit messy and lopsided, but she still looks very pretty. I will post side by side comparisons with previous Classic Snow White dolls soon.

Alice is fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by a modified Kaiser stand. She can free stand, but is not very stable that way.

 

Alice is 10 inches tall, with a head and body made specially for her. She has a body construction similar to that of the older Disney Designer Princess dolls, but without the swivel waist. She has rubber legs with click stop internal knee joints, fixed ankles. She has fully articulated arms and a ball jointed neck. Some of her arm joints are a little too loose and sometimes didn't keep a pose. She has a blue satin dress with a printed darker blue floral pattern. She has a separate white satin apron with a large white bow in the back. There is a colorful embroidered floral pattern in the front that is embellished with yellow gems, and it has a lace hem. She has a delicate tulle petticoat with a lace hem. She is wearing white tights, and black shoes with low heels and a strap around the ankles. She has a lovely face with big blue eyes, curvy eyelashes and a closed mouth smile with red lips. She has golden blonde hair, with the curly parts stiff with hair product. Wrapped around her head is her signature black satin ribbon and bow.

 

I bought the Alice and Queen of Hearts Doll Set at my local Disney Store on release day, October 4, 2016. It is numbered 0989 of 6000. I was called fifth out of ten persons who entered the raffle for 18 doll sets. They called names to determine the order in which we would go to the registers. The Designer doll display was moved from the floor to behind the counter. They still had Cinderella and Lady Tremaine doll sets available. I inspected the first set that was handed to me. Alice had slightly irregular eyelashes, but not enough to bother me. I didn't notice any other defects, so I took the set. I didn't bring my camera, so I didn't take any photos in the store.

 

Here are photos of the set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed.

 

I think Alice is a very beautiful doll, and I'm glad Disney finally made a Designer Alice. The most surprising thing I noticed about Alice are her shoes, which are very realistic looking. I like the Designer Queen of Hearts' crown, but it is nowhere as realistic looking as the crown on the LE 17'' Queen of Hearts.

Deboxing Classic Belle. The front clear plastic cover has been removed. Belle and Chip are still attached to the cardboard backing, but are now in clear view.

 

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.

Limited edition, #278 of 13,000

 

First Look

 

I just received today, October 17, 2012, the full set of all six dolls of the Disney Villains Collection Doll Set, that I pre-ordered on August 20, 2012. All the dolls arrived in perfect condition. They are all numbered #278 of 13,000. I photograph all the dolls in their cases, in group shots. They intend to leave these dolls as they are, untouched. I am not even going to open up the cases to fix stray hairs. I have bought "spares" of each of the dolls, to be completely deboxed. I pose these dolls with the pre-ordered boxed dolls. I also pair each of the villains with one of the Designer Princess dolls, which I have deboxed.

September 10, 2012: Maleficent.

September 17, 2012: Evil Queen.
