Disney Villains Collection Doll Set
The Disney Store ($477)
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.
The Designer Villains and their release dates are:
September 10, 2012: Maleficent.
September 17, 2012: Evil Queen.
September 24, 2012: Queen of Hearts
October 01, 2012: Ursula.
October 08, 2012: Mother Gothel.
October 15, 2012: Cruella De Vil.
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.

Snow White with the inner box removed from the outer box, and the front lid of the inner box removed. The doll is now in clear view.
Here are photos of Snow White's inner box taken out of the outer box. That way the doll can be displayed without the front flaps getting in the way or taking up display space. It slides out of the outer box smoothly, but it helps if two people do the job, especially if the inner box is a tight fit. One person holds the outer box steady while the other pulls the inner box out. The inner box is entirely enclosed, and is the same hexagonal shape as the outer box. There is even images of paparazzi on the sides and back of the inner box. The front of the inner box contains the clear plastic viewing window, and slides off easily off the back of the inner box. The Certificate of Authenticity in under the inner box, between the bottom of the inner front lid and the bottom of the back of the inner box. The display doll has a blank edition number on the CoA. There are packaging ties and tabs showing in the back of the inner box, but they are not too unsightly. With the viewing window taken off, the doll is in clear view. She is on a raised platform, with steps in front, covered in red velvet. Looking her accessory purse close up, I can finally see a large letter S in the middle of the ornate golden pattern. Also I noticed for the first time her upper lipstick pattern, which has U shaped indentation in the middle, with sharp corners, which I find a little strange.
I have measured the box for these dolls. It is 16.5'' H x 12'' W x 6'' D. That compares with the original Designer cases that were 15'' H x 7'' W x 7''D. The 2017 Designer cases were 15'' H x 9'' W x 9'' D. The regular 17'' LE Doll boxes are 19'' H x 11'' W x 6'' D. To put the box size in perspective, if you put the six dolls in this series in their boxes side by side, they take up six feet or 72 inches. If you put the 10 original Designer Princess dolls in their cases side by side, they take up 70 inches, or a couple of inches less than the six dolls of the Premiere Series.
If you wish to have the dolls visible, there is a problem because the front panels don't bend all the way back to the sides,so they either take up a lot of room to the sides and/or the front. If you want to remove the front panels, then they are attached to the outer box, so you have the find room to store the outer box, since it won't slide behind the inner box. So in effect there is a problem very similar to the slip cover problem that the original Designer dolls had.

Snow White, 10/6/2018, LE 4100

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

Deboxing Cinderella. First the inner box is removed, and the viewing window removed from the inner box.
I just received Premiere Series Cinderella from the Disney Store today. I ordered her on release day, Saturday October 13, 2018. She is #1607 of 4400. She arrived in perfect shape. However there was three fingerprints on the inside of the viewing window above her head, that you can see in some of the photos.
Her face and makeup are absolutely gorgeous. I wish her hair was closer to the design sketch. Also there is too much black in the skirt, and the outer tulle reminds me of LE Ursula's skirt. But overall she is very striking, and represents Cinderella very well. I rank her third in this doll series, after Snow White and Jasmine.

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

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.

Deboxing singing Cinderella. She has been removed from backing, and is lying down. Packaging wires and rubber bands are still on the doll, as well as tissue paper stuffing under her dress. Then the back of dress is opened up to remove the wire around her waist. We also see the battery compartment, sound box and on/off switch. Then her dress is closed up. Then the tissue paper around her legs, under her dress, is removed. Then the rubber band holding the necklace in place is removed, and she is fully deboxed.
I got the new Disney Store 11 1/2 inch singing Cinderella doll on Monday July 9, 2018. I also got the Ariel singing doll at the same time, whom I will show separately. There are also new singing Moana, Jasmine and Elsa dolls, which I have not gotten yet. They are showing up in various Disney Stores both here in the US and also in the UK, but are not yet available online.
She is in much simpler packaging than previous singing dolls, and has no accessories. She is also less expensive than previous singing dolls, only $19.99, just $5 more than a regular Classic doll. She has a lovely new face paint that is different than the current Classic doll.
Cinderella sings 'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes' when you twist left her hand. Like Ariel, Cinderella only sings one verse of her song, lasting about 12 seconds. She has golden blonde hair, with gentle curls stiffened by hair product, so I left them mostly alone. She has a glittering dark pink dress, with white satin collar and hem, and decorated by pale pink ribbons. She has a pink sash around her waist, and a thin pink ribbon and bow in her hair. She has dark blue eyes, dark pink lips in an open mouth smile, and is glancing to her right. She is a beautiful doll, and is my second favorite 12 inch Cinderella doll, after the Heroes and Villains Cinderella.
Cinderella is fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by the included display stand.

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.

Designer Mulan has been fully deboxed, and is posed standing, supported by the custom doll stand. Her skirt and train, freed from the factory restraints, are now wider than the doll stand, and are allowed to drape over the edges of the base, especially in the rear.
First look at the Disney Princess Designer Collection Mulan Doll. I bought her online on release day, September 12, 2011. I received her a week later, so It's been more than a year and a half since I got this doll. But I have not deboxed her until now, and this the first time I am doing a full photoshoot of her. This the tenth and final Designer Princess to be deboxed. I will photograph her boxed, during her deboxing, and fully deboxed.
My Designer Mulan doll is a limited edition doll that was produced and sold exclusively by the Disney Store, and is numbered 4710 of 6000. She is the title character of the Disney animated feature Mulan (1998). She comes in an acrylic case with a built-in doll stand, with a base that has a golden filigree design, and a golden metallic nameplate. There is also a cardboard cover for the case that I have not photographed here.
She is 11 1/2'' tall, and has the same body as the other Designer Princess dolls, with jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips and knees (internal). She has rubber legs and fixed ankles, with feet angled for high heels.
She has jet black hair wrapped into a beehive hairdo. There is a black rubber band tying the end of the original ponytail, the end of which is neatly tucked into the beehive. There is a long curl that goes from the middle of her forehead to below the front of her neck. After she was deboxed I chose to wrap the curl behind her neck so it wouldn't be so prominent. She has very pale white skin, in fact by far the palest skin of any of the Designer Princess dolls, matching the skin of the Classic Mulan doll. She shares the same face sculpt as the Classic Mulan doll, which hasn't changed since at least 2010 (I don't have any earlier dolls with which to directly compare Designer Mulan), but with glammed up makeup. She has narrow dark brown almond shaped eyes that are glancing towards her left. She has glittering silver eye shadow with blue above it, and thick black eyebrows. She has rooted eyelashes, that are tapered in length from short to long, then at the ends there are very long curved antenna like lashes. She has a small straight nose, full light pink lips in with a closed mouth exaggerated smile. She has very pale pink rouge on her cheeks.
Her two piece gown is made mostly of pink double layered satin. Her bodice consists of ruffled pink organza over pink satin, with pink lacy trim. Around her waist is a very wide deep blue satin sash, with blue jewels embedded. There is a bright red rope belt around her waist, tied into a bow in the front, and the ends of which dangle almost to the floor. The ends of the rope are sewed to the skirt by red thread, which I elected to leave alone. The floor length skirt is entirely of pink satin, is form fitting, and flares at the bottom, and is considerably wider towards the back. Attached to the back of the dress is a very long pink satin train, the top of which is shaped into a fan. It's a shame that most of it, especially the fan part, cannot be seen from the front, nor without deboxing the doll.
She is wearing light pink high heeled shoes, which match the color of her skirt.
Her accessories include gloves, earrings and hair picks. She is wearing full length pink stretch gloves, with light pink jewels embedded. She is wearing stud earrings with round light pink jewels. Finally she has two identical hair picks stuck in her beehive hairdo, decorated with large pink plastic flowers, with embedded clear jewels. The stems of the picks are deep red in color, and extend to stick out the back of her beehive.
Since she had a relatively simple outfit, with nothing underneath her gown, and her form fitting skirt would make it a hassle to remove her from the stand and later to put her back, I decided not to remove her from the doll stand. But since all the factory restraints have been removed from the doll, I consider her to be fully deboxed. The one surprise from deboxing her was the length and extent of her gown's train, as well as the fan design at its top. The overall look of the doll and her outfit matches the original design sketch very closely, except for the beehive hairdo (rather than a round bun), and the lengthening of her front curl. For some reason, her entire body was tilted to the right (her left) in the original packaging. I was glad I could straighten out her body before reboxing her.
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.

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.
Anna fully deboxed and laying down.
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.

Evil Queen Disney Villains Designer Collection Doll
Personal Photos - Deboxed
The doll has been entirely freed from all shipping restraints, undressed, reclothed, and finally placed back on the included doll stand. The dress was VERY tight and unyielding around her legs, so lifting her out of the doll stand took quite a bit of effort. Putting her back on the stand was even more of an adventure. In fact, in hindsight, I should have taken her dress off BEFORE trying to remove her from the stand. And likewise, I should have placed her on the stand BEFORE putting her dress on.
While trying to put her on the stand while dressed, there was so much resistance that I actually broke the plastic head piece of the stand, where it connected to the metal rod. I did a makeshift repair of the stand, making it sturdy enough to place the Evil Queen back on the stand and be stable enough to pose her for photographs. I will have to superglue the pieces back together when I have a bit of time.
Her outfit is not very movie accurate, but is luxurious looking, and fit for a Queen. At least the colors of the dress, cape and collar are close to those of the movie. The deep purple velvet dress, with purple satin liner, is sewn to the cape and collar. The collar is white two layered satin. The cape is black velvet with a red satin lining. The gloves are deep purple satin. Her crown, which is sewn to her hair, is matte finish golden plastic, with small ruby rhinestones. Her bracelet-like main part of her belt consists of three strands of rhinestones in gold, with a large ruby jewel in the center. From the center hangs two strands of rhinestones in gold ending in chain link tassles. She has gold beaded earrings that are similar to those of LE 17'' Belle.
Her dramatic makeup and scowling, haughty face reminds me of Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. She has thin double arched eyebrows, rooted eyelashes with superlong antennae-like lashes at the ends. She has violet eyeshadow with dark purple eyeliner, eyes narrowed to slits, from which small green irises peer straight ahead. She has blood red lips in a grimace. There is a hint of red rouge on her cheeks.

I just received the 2011 D23 Expo Exclusive Disney Princess Designer Collection Silver Cinderella Doll. She is #116 of 250. The doll, case and slipcover are in near mint condition. I bought her from another doll collector, through a Disney doll group. I thought I would never own this doll, but now I do.
She is 11 1/2 inches tall, and is fully posable. Her gown and headband are silver rather than the blue of the LE 8000 Designer Cinderella. She has many more rhinestones in her bodice than Blue Cinderella, which is the only other difference between the two dolls. She also celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Disney Store. Both the D23 logo and the Disney Store 25th Anniversary logo are part of the graphics of the slipcover. She is really cool, being the first D23 exclusive doll, and also the rarest.
I show Silver Cinderella boxed, with the slipcover on and off. I also show her next to my blue Designer Cinderella (#1999 of 8000), who has been deboxed and reposed in her display case, without the covers and backing.
Cinderella is deboxed, and is laying down for inspection of her dress construction.
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 visited my local Disney Store today (1/23/2019), and got several newly available items.
The 60th Anniversary Sleeping Beauty Limited Edition 3 pin set (LE 3550, $49.95). It includes a pin of Maleficent and Diablo, a pin of Princess Aurora as Briar Rose, and a logo pin. The images of Maleficent and Briar Rose are screen printed in black in white. The Maleficent pin has a jewel and glitter fill background. The logo pin has glitter fill. The pins are made of copper colored metal and enamel. It is not yet available online.
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.

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.

Deboxing the LA Cinderella Doll Set. Drisella has been fully deboxed, and is posed standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand.
I just received my Live Action Cinderella Doll Gift Set from the Disney Store. Not surprisingly, the doll box came damaged, due to poor packaging by DS. The left side had a large dent in the plastic window, with the caved in plastic almost touching Anastasia in the face. There was also a small crease on the right edge of the plastic window. The layer of air bags around the box didn't do much to soften the blow that came from the shipping box getting dented along its major axis. Fortunately none of the dolls has any apparent damage. And I was able to pop out the major dent on the left (which I had to do to be able to slid the inner backing out of the outer box). So the box now looks much better.
But as for the dolls, they all look great, especially the stepsisters. Cinderella and Fairy Godmother look pretty much identical to the separately sold dolls. The Prince has his white outfit that he wore to the Royal Ball. The Tremaines are also in their ballroom outfits, and the sisters are exclusive to this set.
I will post photos of the dolls boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed.

I just got the March flyer from my local Disney Store. It doesn't have any announcement for the upcoming LE Aurora doll. The CM at the store assured me that they have official word that the release date for the doll is Saturday, March 16, which is also what is stated in the Coming Soon page of the ShopDisney site (for the US and Canada). That is the same date as the monthly Disney Wisdom release (featuring the Baloo plush). I also got a couple of coupons for 20% off a purchase of $40 or more (in store only). It is good from March 4 through March 17.

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.

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.

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

Detailed photos of the Beauty and the Beast Limited Edition Figurine.
I just received the Beauty and the Beast Limited Edition Figurine from the Disney Store, that I ordered online when it was released last Monday. It is still available from the US Disney Store website. It is LE 1100, and cost $199.95.
It is musical and plays a 15 second segment of 'Beauty and the Beast' repeatedly when the key is turned. It is 10 inches high including the base (which is 7 inches in diameter). The Beast is 8 inches tall and Belle is about 7 inches tall. The figures are made of resin. It weighs a hefty 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg), and came in a very large shipping box weighing 12 pounds. It comes with a hand numbered Certificate of Authenticity, mine is 964 of 1100. The same number is written under the base.
It has an excellent paint job and is marvelously detailed. The only exception, unfortunately, is the face of Belle. There is a sharp ridge down the middle of her nose, there are small defects in the paint and mold, and she isn't as accurate a representation of her character as is the Beast. But viewed from a normal distance, she does look very presentable.
I show the box and the figure from all angles. I also compare the figure with the Lenox Belle and Beast porcelain wedding figure.

Evil Queen Disney Villains Designer Collection Doll
Personal Photos - Deboxing
The doll has now been entirely freed from all shipping restraints, and has been removed from the doll stand. The dress was VERY tight and unyielding around her legs, so lifting her out of the doll stand took quite a bit of effort. The next step is to undress her in order to remove the protective plastic around her upper legs. Also it allows her outfit and accessories to been shown separate from the doll. Here her jeweled belt, which is more like a bracelet, has been removed from around her waist, and is shown lying down flat. The main part consists of three strands of rhinestones in gold, with a large ruby jewel in the center. From the center hangs two strands of rhinestones in gold ending in chain link tassles.

Deboxing the Evil Queen. She is freed from the backing and is standing supported by the included display stand. She is still attached to the display stand and various plastic supports. Here she has just been freed from the large plastic support attached to her head. The remnants of the plastic tabs in her head, and a purple wire around her neck have been removed. She is turned around to begin removing the factory restraints from the front. Her skirt is raised, showing the wires attached to the doll stand, and the paper stuffing around her legs. We also see her black high heels. Her skirt is very tight around her upper legs and hips, so I decided not to remove the display stand from the doll. That is similar in design to the skirt of the Designer Villain Evil Queen doll (2012). Then she turned around again and her cape raised over her head, so we can begin removing the plastic support for the heart box. After the support around her waist is undone in the back, we turn her around again to the front, and remove the rubber bands and the plastic support under the heart box and around her arms.
