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.

First Look. Personal photos.
She is very pretty in her pink satin dress. Her face is updated from last year's Ariel plush, and looks prettier and more movie accurate, with a rounder face, as in the Classic Ariel posable doll. Her feet are angled more severely than is needed for the dark pink satin shoes that she is wearing. She is actually 20 1/2'' tall from the tips of toes to the top of her head. The only glitter on the doll is in her blue eyes, which sheds very little, if at all. There is very slender silver metallic thread in her satin dress, which gives the appearance of glitter. She is posed standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand (not included with the doll).

Detailed photos of the Rapunzel Adventure Doll by the Disney Store. She is based on the animated lead character in the Disney Channel's Tangled: The Series, who is voiced by Mandy Moore. She is a fully articulated 10 inch vinyl doll, with 17 inches of straight golden blonde hair. She comes in a purple box with a large rectangular front window, plain borders, and to top window. Her accessories are her black frying pan, her pet chameleon Pascal, and white flower clip in her hair. She comes with a purple one piece dress, 3/4 sleeves, and glitter covered skirt.
She is more cartoonish than the Classic Rapunzel doll, with huge green eyes and outsized head, and tiny hands. She is glancing to her upper right. She has a few freckles across the bridge of her tiny pointy nose. She has a small mouth with thin red lips in a charming smirk.
She has 16 points of articulation. She has ball jointed neck, waist, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hips and ankles, and double hinge jointed knee joints, with kneecaps. The waist and knee joints make her much more posable than the Disney Store Classic Princess dolls. Her hands are more realistic, with fully separate fingers that are curved and more flexible, the better to hold things (such as her frying pan). She is barefoot and with her flat feet can free stand (although isn't very stable that way). So I used a modified Kaiser stand to support her for all but a few of the photos of her standing.
She is a great looking doll, and is a very accurate depiction of the character in Tangled: The Series. I love her expression and articulation, and her accessories. She is well worth her $19.95 price.

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.
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.

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.

Released online June 10, 2013.
I really like this new Cinderella doll. I think she is considerable improvement over the 2012 model. Her head mold seems to be the same as the 2012 doll, but the face paint is different, and is a mixture of the 2011 and 2012 faces. Her face is very pretty, and more movie accurate than the 2012 doll. Her hairdo is close to the 2011 doll, and the 2012 side curl is gone. Her gown is now much more movie accurate, with a light blue color rather dark blue. There are silver glittery swirls, that look to be an abstract made up of hearts and C's, possibly representing the pumpkin coach. Her sleeves and peplum are now white satin, rather than light blue organza. Another major change, common to all the 2013 Classic Princess dolls, is the replacement of the fully articulated legs with the old rubber legs, with fixed angled feet and internal knee joints. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the 2012 legs, but the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable.
The 2013 Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection, released on June 10, 2013. They consist of 11-12'' articulated dolls of the 11 official Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Merida, as well as Princes, Villains and Sidekicks. Images from the US Disney Store website. When I get the dolls in person, I will also photograph them boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. I will also post reviews and comparative photos.

I got to my local Disney Store for the LE Moana release at about 6:45 am, and was third in line. By 8 am there were 9 people in line, and right before opening at 10 am, there were 15 in line. Only ten of the people actually wanted the Moana doll. I'm not sure how many dolls were left, because they never told us how many doll they had. They didn't let us keep the line cards this time.
By the way, Moana has no rooted eyelashes, only painted ones, in case anyone was still wondering about that. Will post detailed photos of my Moana doll shortly.
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.
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.
Belle's horse Philippe. He is a plush toy that is 10 inches high and 10 inches long. He is too small to be to scale with the other dolls in this set. A better match would be the separately sold medium Philippe plush ($19.95), who available in some Disney Stores. His saddle is removable. His bridle and reins are tacked to his body.
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 just received my online order from the Disney Store, of the newly released The Disney Maleficent Movie Dolls and Mugs. The dolls are the Maleficent and Aurora 12'' dolls of the Disney Film Collection. The mugs are Maleficent and Dragon mug and the Maleficent and Aurora mug. I ordered them last Tuesday, when the dolls were released online, so it took exactly one week to arrive. Both mugs are very beautiful, and it's hard for me to pick a favorite now. The only slight disappointment is that they have the same design on both sides. Both dolls look very good, but I'm liking Aurora more at this point, mainly because I like her face more than Maleficent's. I think the Dark Beauty Maleficent doll by Jakks Pacific is a better likeness of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. I will post photos of both dolls boxed, then during deboxing, and finally fully deboxed. I will also show them side by side with other comparable dolls, especially the Jakks versions.

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.

Deboxing Belle. After I removed the rubber band securing the purse chain to her shoulder, I had to use tape to keep it from slipping off of her shoulder (same as with Ariel's purse). Her dress is tight around her hips and legs, so I had to undo it in the back (as well as the outer skirt) in order to pull out the display stand. It was also hard to put the stand back on her. The bracelets are solid rings, so cannot be removed unless you pop off her hands, which I did not try to do. For some of the last photos, I decided to reverse the purse to show the rose rather than the lion. Also I placed the outer skirt a little to the left of where it was in the box pose, to show off her legs.
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.

#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.
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.

Maleficent has been fully deboxed. She is standing with her arms outstretched and her outfit fully extended. She is holding her staff and Diablo is resting on her arm. She cannot stably free stand, even with the aid of her staff, so she is supported by a Kaiser stand. The gems on her cape are iridescent, so they sparkle with many different colors, which change depending on the angle of lighting and viewing.
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.

Classic Disney Princess Merida Doll - 12''
US Disney Store
$14.95
Released online June 10, 2013.
As was to be expected, the Classic Merida doll is now without any accessories. Gone are her bow and arrow, quiver, arm guard, cuffs and cape. Added is a full length right sleeve, and lots of glitter on her dress. It's funny that the original Classic Merida was just recently on clearance at only $8. The doll herself is identical to the old Merida doll, but she looks quite bare without all her accessories. The only improvement over the old version is the box, which is very pretty with an image of her from the movie and very pretty decorations unique to her, as with the other 2013 Classic Princess dolls' boxes.
A major change, common to all the 2013 Classic Princess dolls, is the replacement of the fully articulated legs with the old rubber legs, with fixed angled feet and internal knee joints. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the 2012 legs, but the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable.
The 2013 Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection, released on June 10, 2013. They consist of 11-12'' articulated dolls of the 11 official Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Merida, as well as Princes, Villains and Sidekicks. Images from the US Disney Store website. When I get the dolls in person, I will also photograph them boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. I will also post reviews and comparative photos.

First Look. Personal photos.
She is very pretty in her pink satin dress. Her face is updated from last year's Ariel plush, and looks prettier and more movie accurate, with a rounder face, as in the Classic Ariel posable doll. Her feet are angled more severely than is needed for the dark pink satin shoes that she is wearing. She is actually 20 1/2'' tall from the tips of toes to the top of her head. The only glitter on the doll is in her blue eyes, which sheds very little, if at all. There is very slender silver metallic thread in her satin dress, which gives the appearance of glitter. She is posed standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand (not included with the doll).

Minnie with the slipcover and plastic covers off. She is now in clear view from three sides and above. She is attached to the cardboard backing, plastic supports and the built in display stand.
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.

Inner box has been taken out of the outer box.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Belle's horse Philippe. He is a plush toy that is 10 inches high and 10 inches long. He is too small to be to scale with the other dolls in this set. A better match would be the separately sold medium Philippe plush ($19.95), who available in some Disney Stores. His saddle is removable. His bridle and reins are tacked to his body.
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 got to my local Disney Store for the LE Moana release at about 6:45 am, and was third in line. By 8 am there were 9 people in line, and right before opening at 10 am, there were 15 in line. Only ten of the people actually wanted the Moana doll. I'm not sure how many dolls were left, because they never told us how many doll they had. They didn't let us keep the line cards this time.
By the way, Moana has no rooted eyelashes, only painted ones, in case anyone was still wondering about that. Will post detailed photos of my Moana doll shortly.

I went to my local Disney Store today for the limited release Mickey Mouse Memories Collection. It is the first of twelve monthly releases to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Mickey Mouse. There were half a dozen adults waiting in line with me before store opening, including a CM of the store with two of his young children. I got the plush, mug and pin set. I also wanted to get the ornament set, but they said they didn't have that, and were not scheduled to get any. So I had to get the ornaments online. I also wanted two of the pin sets, but they said they were limited to one per guest. This is my one and only Mickey plush, as I don't collect Mickey, but he is very cool, as I love the older Mickey Mouse cartoons. He stands 15 inches tall to the top of his head, or 16 inches to the top of his ears. He is soft and cuddly, but his skin is like a faux leather. There are small images of Steamboat Willie at the helm embroidered throughout the doll. He can't free stand, and he can't sit up straight either without support. The pins were small and plain, but very nice looking, and for a good price. The mug has a matte surface, and has the same Walt quote printed on the inside as is on the underside of the plush Mickey's foot.
Deboxing Wedding Ariel. The top of the box is opened, and the backing card is slid out. Then she is removed from the backing card, and laid down for inspection and to continue the deboxing.
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 debox Wedding Ariel, and show her side by side with the original Once Upon a Wedding Ariel doll, which was released in early 2011, and never re-released. This new Wedding Ariel has the new 2017 Ariel base doll, and a simplified version of the 2011 gown. She has a half length aqua green mesh veil, as opposed to the full length veil of the original. The dress is much narrower than the original, and she has white flats rather than heels. In fact, she has flat feet, which is new for Disney Store Princess dolls with rubber legs, and cannot wear heels. This is the new style for all the Disney Store classic Princess dolls, which is too bad as not even Cinderella will have heels. Finally she is missing the corsage that the original had. I have misplaced the corsage of my original doll, which is why she isn't holding one. The original Wedding Ariel is about a 1/4 inch taller than the new one because she is wearing high heels rather than flats. Their actual heights are 11 1/2 versus 11 1/4 inches.

Alice In Wonderland Tea Cup Ornament Collection
Red Queen, Mad Hatter and Alice ornaments
Disney Parks
US Disney Store
$19.95 each
Released online 2013-03-26
Received 2013-04-02
First Look
Approximately 3'' Tea Cup resin ornaments representing some the main characters in Disney's Alice in Wonderland (1951). Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Red Queen are depicted on separate ornaments in this collection. On the reverse of the ornaments are the White Rabbit, Pencil Birds, the Dormouse, and Card Soldiers, respectively.
I have received three of the four ornaments in this collection. At the time I ordered them, they were on special for 25% off, but the Cheshire Cat was not in stock. I will probably get that one from Disneyland.
They are solid resin, so are very heavy for ornaments. Alice weighs 7 oz, Mad Hatter 8 oz, and Red Queen is 4 oz. They are not very practical to hang from a tree, but all have perfectly flat bases, are perfectly suited to sit on any flat surface. As befits their characters, the width of their bases plus their overall design makes the Alice cup very stable, the Red Queen fairly stable, and the Mad Hatter not very stable at all, since it has a small base is top heavy with three cups stacked on each other.
The artwork are appliques that are glued to the resin pieces, then a clear glaze finish is painted over that. When I looked at them closely, I was a little disappointed in the workmanship of the cups, in particular the Alice and Red Queen ones. The Mad Hatter one is very well done, with a very smooth shiny surface, with all the designs sharp and bright, and no glaring discontinuities or imperfections. The Alice and Red Queen ornaments are not as smooth or shiny, and there are obvious discontinuities in the patterns of the insides of the cups. There is also a large scuff mark on one of the panels of the Red Queen. However, overall I like these ornaments very much. The Alice ornament in particular has very beautiful artwork of Alice, Dinah and the White Rabbit. I've had really good luck ordering ornaments online from the Disney Store in the past, but in this case, I think I should be gotten them from Disneyland, where I could pick out the best ones from the rack.
