Evil Queen Disney Villains Designer Collection Doll
Personal Photos - Deboxed
Designer Evil Queen is joined by Designer Snow White (released and purchased in Sept 2011), both completed deboxed and placed on their display stands with the cover and cardboard backing removed. They have contrasting looks both in their facial expressions and their outfits. Here, as suggested by a fellow Flickr member, I have placed a bluebird in Snow White's hand (borrowed from LE 17'' Snow White). The poison apple that was in her hand has been placed in the Evil Queen's hand instead, which is more appropriate for a scene including both of them.
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.

Deboxing Moana. Front and rear covers taken off. The doll and accessories are now in clear view, but are still attached to the free standing cardboard backing and various plastic supports.
Here are detailed photos of my Disney Store Limited Edition Moana 17 inch doll, boxed and deboxed. She is #1531 of 6500. I also got a spare Moana that I will leave mint in box, but I haven't looked to see what edition number that doll has.
She has mock sand on her feet, and there is also sand on the base for Pua. Somewhat like glitter, the sand does shed, and found its way on the sides of the box, and on the doll itself. Some of the sand on the tips of her toes also got rubbed off.
Moana has a unique body, but is fully articulated. She has ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. Instead of the chest joint that are on most of the female Disney Store 17 inch LE dolls, Moana has a waist pivot joint that allows her upper torso to spin around 360 degrees. This is similar to the Designer Princess waist joint, but is lower down her back, just above her butt. That is doubtless due to her bare midriff. With large her flat feet, Moana can free stand very stably. But I think that some of her joints are a little too loose, especially her waist joint.
Her body proportions are also unique for a Disney LE doll, but that is due to those of the animated character herself. In particular, her arms and legs are thicker than the other LE Princess dolls. Rather than the flat hands of the other LE Princess dolls, Moana has curved hands, which I think look more natural. Her face is very pretty and a very good likeness of the animated character. She has thick eyebrows, big brown eyes glancing to her upper right. She has short painted eyelashes, but no rooted eyelashes (like the LE Merida dolls). She has a large flat nose, and full dark brown lips in a closed mouth smile.
She has dark brown wavy hair that has a lot of hair product, so it feels a bit crunchy. Some of her hair was actually stuck to the plastic support, her body and her clothes, due to the hair product not being fully dry when she was assembled. There was also some bits of tissue paper stuck to her hair.
She has a garland of cloth leaves and plastic flowers on her head, It is permanently attached to her head. There are plastic leafy bands around her left arm and both ankles. The arm band was rather loose, and I had to keep on moving it back up her arm. I think it could use a rubber band to keep it tight, which I don't think I accidently cut when deboxing her. Her ankle bands did have rubber bands around them. She has a beaded plastic necklace with a shell pendant that opens. I removed the large rubber band around her upper chest and the plastic support that kept the pendent attached to her top. But I left the rubber bands that kept the upper part of the necklace in place. She has an short satin orange top with white beaded decoration. There is a matching belt or sash around her hips, over her skirt. Her skirt has two woven layers, with a straw underskirt.
Pua is very stable on the sand dune base (and there are indentations in the base to show where to place him). Hei Hei can free stand on Pua's head, but you have to place him very carefully, using the indentations on Pua's head as a guide. He can also be made secure by a rubberband around Pua's head and over Hei Hei's feet.
Moana's oar is placed on her left side in the box, but the way the handle is formed on the oar, it fits most easily on her right hand (to our left when she faces us).
Gaston 12'' doll, free standing. He has what I presume is simulated stubble on his chin, but it looks more like dirt to me. LOL. His head turns with a little difficulty, because his ponytail is stuck behind his shirt. The ponytail can't go outside his shirt because of the thickness of the collar. His belt is sewn to his shirt. He has black knit tights instead of pants.
Detailed photos of the dolls in the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set, deboxed. They include the 1/6 scale Beast, Belle and Gaston dolls, and the Philippe plush. Beast and Belle are in their winter outfits. I show Beast and Belle both with and without their capes. The bluebird figurine is included with Belle when she has her cape on. Beast is not that stable free standing, so I support him with a Kaiser stand for these photos.
I just got the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set ($79.95) from my local Disney Store (on Thursday June 30, 2016). The accessory figures look really detailed and well done. In fact, I like Chip better in this set than the one with the new Classic Belle doll. Also the bluebird looks nicer than the one with the new Classic Snow White. Belle and Beast are in their winter outfits. Belle also has her blue peasant outfit and her yellow ball gown. Beast also has his formal outfit. Philippe is way too small, but is a very cute plush. I like this set way better than the ones for Aladdin or Sleeping Beauty.
Anna with her bodice opened in the back, showing her manufacturer's stamps.
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.

My 2015 Limited Edition Aladdin 18 Inch Doll has been fully deboxed. He is free standing, with his sword in his right hand. I have left out the Abu figure from these photos.
I got LE Aladdin in person from the Disney Store on the release day (October 13, 2015) for the Aladdin Diamond Edition DVD and Limited Edition Jasmine, Aladdin and Jafar dolls. He is 18 inches tall, and is numbered 2094 of 3500. He has the same construction as the male LE dolls starting from the 2013 Prince Eric doll, with ball jointed elbows, wrists and ankles. He is in his street rat outfit, with a sword and Abu as accessories. He is barefoot and stands flat footed in the box.
Photos only now being uploaded to my Flickr account a year and a half later. I am missing most of the boxed and deboxing photos. I have added a recently taken photo of the Certificate of Authenticity.

Deboxing singing Ariel. Front cover off.
I got the new Disney Store 11 1/2 inch singing Ariel doll on Monday July 9, 2018. I also got the Cinderella singing doll at the same time, whom I will show separately. They are showing up in various Disney Stores both here in the US and also in the UK, but are not yet available online.
She is in much simpler packaging than previous singing dolls, and has no accessories. She is also less expensive than previous singing dolls, only $19.99, just $5 more than a regular Classic doll. Ariel has a lovely new face paint that is different than the current Classic Ariel doll.
Ariel sings 'Part of Your World'. Ariel is in mermaid form, with a purple bra that has a large blue gem in the middle, and an iridescent dark blue-green tail with light blue-green fins.
I have deboxed Singing Ariel and will post detailed photos of her soon.
She has a pink cloth flower in her hair, with a yellow jewel in the center. It is tacked to her head with a T-tab. There is glitter on her bra, and in the tulle fins and fringe around her waist, but sheds very little, if at all. Her satin tail is iridescent, and has outlines of scales printed in black. She has the new style rubber legs, with internal click stop knee joints, and fixed flat feet.
But I have bad news about her singing. She only sings one verse of 'Part of Your World', which lasts about 12 seconds, and that's it. I thought that was just the Try Me mode, but there is no pull tab, or alternate switch position to make the song segment longer. And when you twist her hand again, the same verse repeats itself. Boo! The previous Ariel singing dolls (both 12 inch and 16 inch) all sang three verses of the song, lasting about 30 seconds. Some of the other 12 inch singing dolls from past years would sing 2 verses, or about 20 seconds of their song, but this new Ariel only singing one verse is very disappointing, despite her low price compared to past singing dolls.
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.

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.

At my Disney Store, the right to buy Maleficent today was ''raffled'' off to twenty lucky people. There were maybe 30-40 people entered, and I was not one of the winners. So I will have to get her online tonight. There were a total of 13,000 of each doll produced, so there should be no problem getting a doll online.
Individual dolls may be purchased online and in stores beginning on September 10, 2012, and ending on October 15. One doll will be made available on in stores Monday of each week. Then on Tuesday (at 12 am Pacific Time) that doll will be available online. Here is the list of the dolls and their release dates:
September 10, 2012: Maleficent, from Sleeping Beauty (1959).
September 17, 2012: Evil Queen, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
September 24, 2012: Queen of Hearts, from Alice in Wonderland (1951).
October 01, 2012: Ursula, from The Little Mermaid (1989).
October 08, 2012: Mother Gothel, from Tangled (2010).
October 15, 2012: Cruella de Vil, from One Hundred and One Dalmations (1961).

Aurora is deboxed and standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. There is actually no included doll stand for Aurora, just her stool. She cannot free stand, as her leg joints and skirts aren't stiff enough to support her.
She has an oversized outer sheer blue chiffon skirt, and a dark blue satin skirt underneath. She has the traditional Designer Princess body, with fully articulated arms, swivel waist joint, and rubber legs with internal knee joints and fixed angled feet.
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.

Deboxing my 2015 Limited Edition Aladdin 18 Inch Doll. Removed from display stand, and all factory restraints. Laying down with his sword and Abu figure next to him
I got LE Aladdin in person from the Disney Store on the release day (October 13, 2015) for the Aladdin Diamond Edition DVD and Limited Edition Jasmine, Aladdin and Jafar dolls. He is 18 inches tall, and is numbered 2094 of 3500. He has the same construction as the male LE dolls starting from the 2013 Prince Eric doll, with ball jointed elbows, wrists and ankles. He is in his street rat outfit, with a sword and Abu as accessories. He is barefoot and stands flat footed in the box.
Photos only now being uploaded to my Flickr account a year and a half later. I am missing most of the boxed and deboxing photos. I have added a recently taken photo of the Certificate of Authenticity.

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

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.
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.
Silver Cinderella, in her unopened display case, with the slipcover off.
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.
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.

Aurora is deboxed and standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. There is actually no included doll stand for Aurora, just her stool. She cannot free stand, as her leg joints and skirts aren't stiff enough to support her.
She has an oversized outer sheer blue chiffon skirt, and a dark blue satin skirt underneath. She has the traditional Designer Princess body, with fully articulated arms, swivel waist joint, and rubber legs with internal knee joints and fixed angled feet.
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.

I got four 2018 Disney Store Sketchbook ornaments in the mail yesterday. Here is the Rapunzel Singing Sketchbook Ornament. She is based on Disney Parks small figure that were released in 2015. She sings about 45 seconds of 'I See the Light', with good volume and clarity.
Singing Ariel is fully deboxed. She is standing up, supported by a Kaiser stand.
I got the new Disney Store 11 1/2 inch singing Ariel doll on Monday July 9, 2018. I also got the Cinderella singing doll at the same time, whom I will show separately. They are showing up in various Disney Stores both here in the US and also in the UK, but are not yet available online.
She is in much simpler packaging than previous singing dolls, and has no accessories. She is also less expensive than previous singing dolls, only $19.99, just $5 more than a regular Classic doll. Ariel has a lovely new face paint that is different than the current Classic Ariel doll.
Ariel sings 'Part of Your World'. Ariel is in mermaid form, with a purple bra that has a large blue gem in the middle, and an iridescent dark blue-green tail with light blue-green fins.
I have deboxed Singing Ariel and will post detailed photos of her soon.
She has a pink cloth flower in her hair, with a yellow jewel in the center. It is tacked to her head with a T-tab. There is glitter on her bra, and in the tulle fins and fringe around her waist, but sheds very little, if at all. Her satin tail is iridescent, and has outlines of scales printed in black. She has the new style rubber legs, with internal click stop knee joints, and fixed flat feet.
But I have bad news about her singing. She only sings one verse of 'Part of Your World', which lasts about 12 seconds, and that's it. I thought that was just the Try Me mode, but there is no pull tab, or alternate switch position to make the song segment longer. And when you twist her hand again, the same verse repeats itself. Boo! The previous Ariel singing dolls (both 12 inch and 16 inch) all sang three verses of the song, lasting about 30 seconds. Some of the other 12 inch singing dolls from past years would sing 2 verses, or about 20 seconds of their song, but this new Ariel only singing one verse is very disappointing, despite her low price compared to past singing dolls.
The contents have been completely deboxed and assembled. The inner box has been opened up, and forms a backdrop to the doll set. Anna is sitting up on the bed.
I like this set very much. The Anna doll has the same face that was introduced with the OFA Elsa and Anna doll set, but her hairdo is new. Some of it is gathered into a ponytail (including her white streak), but most of it is straight down her back. She long stiff straight bangs in the front. She is wearing a nightgown, and a simplified coronation gown is included, with two hair ribbons, two hair clips and a crown. There is also a brush, a dressing screen and a chest. The chest opens up and is useful to store the little accessories after the set is deboxed. The best thing about this set is that there is a bed that is 11 1/2 inches long, the same length as the doll, so she can lay down in it without having to bend her knees, or having her feet over the end. The backing can also serve as a backdrop for the set after it is deboxed, especially if the backing is opened up. The set is available online on the ShopDisney site, but I haven't seen it in stores yet.

Live Action Cinderella Slipper Ornament
$24.99
Item No. 7509055890904P
US Disney Store
I received this slipper ornament from the Disney Store a couple of weeks ago, but just now got around to unpacking it and taking some photos. It is still available online from the Disney Store, and costs $24.95. It is made by Disney Parks, but I haven't seen it yet in Disneyland.
I am very impressed with the ornament. It is an accurate representation of the live action Cinderella slipper. It is made of resin and metal, with faceted sides and a glittering golden butterfly. It is about 4 inches along the top of the shoe, the same size as the other Disney Parks shoe ornaments. It stands comparison to my $395 Arribas Cinderella faceted crystal slipper, which is about twice its size (7.5 inches along the top of the shoe). I show it alone from various angles, and also side by side with some of my other LA Cinderella slipper figures.

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

In these photos, the Tollytots doll is on the left, and the Disney Store doll is on the right. The first photo has them boxed. The succeeding photos have them deboxed and standing side by side, supported by doll stands (not included with the dolls).
My review will breakdown the differences in the dolls in various physical categories.
Packaging:
They are both in plastic and cardboard packages that display the dolls well. They are fairly sturdy, but are not especially reusable. They don't have a built in doll stand, so don't have a way to keep the dolls upright if they are to be put back in the box after being removed. The Disney Store box has a cleaner look, with clear plastic on all sides except the back and the bottom. It is also easier to get the doll out of the box, and the box is fairly easy to put back together to be reused. The Tollytots doll is in a box within a box, and has a lot of tape attaching the plastic window to the inner cardboard backing. It is trickier getting the doll out of the package, and also harder to put the box back together if it is to be reused after deboxing the doll.
Face:The Disney Store doll has much more movie accurate facial features than the Tollytots doll. She has smaller, narrower, side-glancing brown eyes, darker eyebrows, fewer upper and lower eyelashes, sharper features, paler skin, smaller mouth with paler red lips. She looks more like a real person (Rachel Weisz), whereas the Tollytots doll looks like a generic doll.
Hair:The Tollytots doll's hair is more movie accurate, being shoulder length reddish brown hair, mixed with black hair, with a widow's peak. Her hair is stiff with hair product, so I've been afraid to fix up the hair in the back to make it more even.
The Disney Store doll is jet black, with a large curly bang, with some longer hair tied into a bun of sorts in the back. There may be scenes where she wears this alternate hairdo, but I haven't noticed it yet in trailers for the movie. Her hair is considerably softer than the Tollytots doll, except for the curly bang in front.
Outfits:
The Tollytots dress is closer to the dress of Evanora in the main promo images. It is a green satin form fitting one piece dress, with a flaired lower skirt, and a glittering black mesh overlay. There is gold trim at the neckline, the full length sleeves are black mesh with gold trim, and there are green glittering decorations at the shoulders representing feathers. There is a slit on the left side of the skirt, so her lower legs can be exposed.
The Disney Store dress looks like the alternative solid green dress in some scenes of the trailers, although it should be a darker green. It is in two layers, the upper one a flowing bright green strapless dress with covered in green glitter, with clear rhinestones interspersed. The back of the dress is oversized, to become a circular tail that drapes over the ground. It has black mesh trim at the neckline, black lace sleeves, and feathery black decoration in the upper back. The skirt opens up in the front to reveal a solid dark green satin slip underneath, which also opens up in front to reveal her lower legs. It is much more impressive than the Tollytots outfit.
Both dolls are missing the shear cape that the movie character wears.
Shoes:The Tollytots doll wears knee high black high heeled boots, with simulated laces in front.
The Disney Store doll's boots are less movie accurate, as they are missing the laces in front.
Body:The Tollytots doll is 11 3/4 inches high, a quarter inch taller than the Disney Store doll. Her skin is a darker flesh tone than the Disney Store doll, and is less movie accurate. She has a thicker, longer, more tapered neck than the Disney doll. She has longer more realistic looking fingers. The Tollytots doll has solid plastic legs, whereas the DS doll has flexible rubber legs. Without undressing the dolls, I can't compare the other features of their bodies.
Articulation:The Tollytots doll has jointed neck, shoulders, elbows and hips. Her ball jointed neck has about the same amount of freedom as the DS doll, but is looser. Same goes for her shoulders. Her elbows have considerably less freedom of movement than the DS doll, but has about the same stiffness. Because of the tight fit of their skirts, I couldn't find the range of movement of either dolls' legs.
However, the Disney Doll has considerably more articulation than the Tollytots doll. She has neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip and knee joints. The knee joints are internal click stop hinge joints in her rubber legs.
Accessories:The Tollytots doll has a gold tiara and similated black and green feather headdress. She is wearing a gold necklace with solid green jewel, which looks more like jade than emerald.
The Disney doll has much more movie accurate accessories. The gold tiara is a bright gold color, and looks metallic even though it is plastic. Atop the tiara are black and green feathery plumes, which are made of separate fibers rather than glittery mesh. They are easily shaped using your fingers, and look very pretty and glamorous. The necklace is made of black beads, with a transparent green jewel pendant, representing her magical emerald amulet.
Summary:The Tollytots doll is pretty, but is much less movie accurate, and has much less detailed and impressive outfit and accessories. She is also less articulated, so is less posable than the Disney doll. Overall, the Disney doll looks like a true collector's doll, whereas the Tollytots doll is more of a play doll, which is also indicated by their relative prices.
Cinderella is fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by the included display stand.
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.

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.

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.

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.
