First look at the Pascal Plush Purse, based on Rapunzel's chameleon companion in Disney's Tangled (2010).
By the Disney Store. $14.50 US.
Released 2013-03-11.
Purchased 2013-04-13
Available online and in stores.
The Pascal Plush Purse is a 8'' long stuffed representation of Rapunzel's chameleon companion. It has with a 12'' long metal chain and a zippered compartment with soft cloth lining. As it's pocket is only 4'' long and 2'' deep it is not very practical, as it is too small for a wallet or cell phone, but can contain items such as coins and lip balm. It is very soft all over, and is a very cute depiction of Pascal. It is the same size as the two mini plush Pascal dolls currently sold by the Disney Store, and is a mixture of the two styles.
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 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.

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).

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.
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.

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

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.

I like this set way better than the ones for Aladdin or Sleeping Beauty.
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 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.
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.

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.
Classic Disney Princess Mulan Doll - 12''
US Disney Store
$14.95
Released online June 10, 2013.
The new Mulan doll for 2013 is identical to the 2012 doll, except changes to her skirt and legs. Once more Mulan, along with Pocohantas, gets no respect from the Disney Store. Her skirt is now glitter free, and seems to be narrower. Because of the lack of glitter in the skirt, I prefer this doll over the 2012 one.
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.

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

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

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.
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.

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 2016 Classic Pocahontas doll has been completely deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser stand, with Flit perched on her hand.

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.
I show her boxed, and with the outer and inner front covers removed. I will debox her tomorrow.

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.
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.

Deboxing Wedding Ariel. The top of the box is opened, and the backing card is slid out. She is still attached to the backing card, which is free standing.
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.

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.
