Here is a video I made of the new Disney Store singing Princess dolls. Aurora (as Briar Rose), Belle (in her Winter outfit) and Anna (in her Coronation outfit) are standing side by side, supported by Kaiser stands (not included with the dolls). 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. They are available in some stores in the US, but are not yet online. They are available in stores and online in the UK. My store doesn't have the Mulan singing doll yet, so she is not included in this video.

Several Disney Designer Collection Premiere Series items were released online in the US ShopDisney site this morning (Monday September 17, 2018). They were not previously announced by the Disney Store. They include two LE 4800 pin sets (with three Princess pins in each set), an LE 3100 ornament set (with all six Princesses), and a notecard set, with all six princesses. As of 6 pm PDT, both pin sets and the ornament set are sold out online. By 8 pm PDT the Notecard set was also sold out online.

Note: For some reason, there is no image of the Cinderella notecard or envelope in the stock images.

Here are photos I took of the promo placard and display dolls at my local Disney Store today. They were only supposed to display the Cinderella doll (which is actually the second doll to be released). But the manager brought out the Snow White, Jasmine and Ariel dolls from the back so I can see them and take photos. They have not yet received the last two dolls to be released, Tiana and Belle. The placard lists the release dates and photos of the dolls, along with their edition sizes. They will be released one per week on Saturday, starting on October 6, rather than the usual Tuesday. They will start to hand out vouchers starting an hour before store opening and lasting about 30 minutes. They will then announce the winners of the raffle about 20 minutes before store opening, who may then purchase the doll being released that day. The online release will take place at 12:01 AM (Pacific time) on the morning of that same day. Each doll will cost $109.95.

Reboxing Belle. First I secure her stand to the red carpet stage by wire. Then I place the stage back into the inner box.

Belle is now fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by her included display stand. For some of the last photos, I decided to reverse the purse to show the rose rather than the lion. Also I placed the outer skirt a little to the left of where it was in the box pose, to show off her legs.

Deboxing Belle. After I removed the rubber band securing the purse chain to her shoulder, I had to use tape to keep it from slipping off of her shoulder (same as with Ariel's purse). Her dress is tight around her hips and legs, so I had to undo it in the back (as well as the outer skirt) in order to pull out the display stand. It was also hard to put the stand back on her. The bracelets are solid rings, so cannot be removed unless you pop off her hands, which I did not try to do.

I was lucky enough to get Belle at the Disney Store today. There was about 70 people entered in the raffle, the most of any release in the series, so I was surprised and happy that I got picked. She is the sixth and final Premiere Series doll to be released. She is #1132 of 4500. I now have all six of the dolls, all gotten first hand, and am glad that the releases are finally over.

I love Belle's face and hair, her Beast purse and her jewelry, but her dress isn't one of my favorites from this series. My doll has some stains on her face, that look like stray hair product. I will clean them off when I debox her. Some strands of her earrings were stuck in her hair, that I freed when I took all the covers off the doll box.

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.

More of the new 2014 Classic Prince, Princess and Villain Dolls have just been released on the New Arrivals page of the US Disney Store. Jasmine has just been added, as well as all 10 Princes (or male protagonists).

Missing so far in the 2014 Disney Princess lineup is Aurora. The old 2013 Snow White doll is still available.

Of the new dolls, I think Snow White, Rapunzel and Merida have significant improvements in their outfits. The dolls' faces and bodies look the same as last year's.

The price for the dolls has remained the same at $14.95 each. But they are not yet part of the $10 each for 2 or more dolls sale.

Here are my Anna and Elsa dolls, in their unopened boxes, side by side so you can see how they look together. I will show each of them in detailed photos soon.

I got the Olaf's Frozen Adventure Anna and Elsa 17 inch LE dolls at my local Disney Store today. I got to the store at 8 am, and was the second one there. But the earlier person, also a regular at these releases, decided to order them online instead of waiting for the store to open. So I was the only one in line for the dolls. A few people showed up right before the store opened, but they weren't there for the dolls. This time after the opening ceremony, they didn't give out the souvenir key to the guest taking part in the ceremony.

They had four Elsa and three Anna dolls behind the registers, but no promo placard. I picked the first Anna that they showed me, as she looked perfect. But had to look at all four Elsas before I chose one, as none of them had perfect hair. Here as photos I took at the store. I will post detailed photos of the dolls later today.

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.

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.

First look at my Tinker Bell and Zarina Limited Edition Designer Dolls. Here they are boxed. My Tinker Bell is number 2710 of 4000, and my Zarina is 0137 of 4000. There were no designer bags, as there were in the previous Designer doll collections.

My visit to my local Disney Store on Februay 18, 2014. I was there for the release of the Disney Fairies Designer Collection dolls. I also noticed that they had several items in the Frozen section that had been missing for several weeks, especially the mugs and Classic Anna dolls, but no Elsas.

They had eight of each Designer Fairy doll, Tinker Bell and Zarina. There were about that many people waiting in line before the store opened, waiting to buy them. I didn't do an actual count, but no one left the line when it was announced how many dolls there were, so there were probably seven or eight of them in the line. They had no designer bags, so they just put them in regular Disney Store bags.

I inspected my dolls, and they looked in perfect condition. I was surprised by their shiny pearly skin (similar in texture to LE Ursula and Harrods Elsa), but they looked very beautiful. The artwork on the boxes were also very beautiful, but the backgrounds behind the dolls were plain looking. The CM had to help me take off the slip cover of the Zarina doll, as it was very tight. She said all the Zarinas seemed to be that way.

Below is information from the UK Disney Store website, as the dolls are not yet available online in the US site.

Ariel and Eric are deboxed, and are sitting in the rowboat. We use the background of the inner box as a backdrop.

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.

Rapunzel has been fully deboxed, then placed back in her original box. She is supported by a Kaiser stand (not included with the doll).

Detailed photos of the 2017 Disney Animators' Collection Rapunzel doll. I bought her in my local Disney Store, but she is also available online. She is shown during deboxing and fully deboxed. She is also shown compared to the original Tangled Rapunzel toddler doll (2010), and the first DAC Rapunzel doll (2011). The latest Rapunzel has a very similar outfit, being a lavender nightie with a two layer skirt. However, it is slightly simplified, and is a darker more bluish color. To my surprise the new Rapunzel is a half inch shorter than the other two dolls (15 versus 15.5 inches tall in her bare feet). Her hair is also shorter than the other two dolls. She is fairly stable free standing, but I put her in a Kaiser stand when she is standing side by side with the other two toddler Rapunzels. In the last photo I laid them down, to compare their hair lengths. They all have the same face mold (designed by Glen Keane), but slightly different face paints. The 2011 doll has the shiniest, smoothest face, the 2010 is less shiny, and the 2017 has a matte surface that is actually a little rough to the touch. The 2011 doll has a head that can only swivel around, and is facing slightly downward when looking forward, giving her a more precious appearance. She also has iridescent tinsel in her hair, similar to the 2011 LE 17 inch Rapunzel doll. The other two have heads that can swivel around and also move up and down slightly, and golden blonde hair with no tinsel.

Belle : The doll is from the 2011 Classic Film Doll Collection. I changed her outfit with the 2010 Classic Belle Doll and add in more ruffles. I also curled her hair as she originally came with long straight hair.

Beast : The doll's head is the new mold and the body is the 2010 Classic Beast Doll body with full articulation. He is wearing the 2010 classic doll's shirt, vest, pants, boots, and the new doll's tux that I removed the beast's hands and tail.

Belle and Beast standing side by side, in their winter outfits, with their capes back on.

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.

The Beast 12'' doll standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. Wearing his winter outfit, with his cape off. With the cape off, his skinny body is revealed, as well as the strange neck. He is wearing a dress shirt and pants, that are sewn together. His tail is attached to his pants. 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.

Snow White with the inner box removed from the outer box.

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 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.

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.

I debox Aurora first, and will debox the others soon. Aurora is in her purple and black peasant outfit, with glitter floral design on her skirt. The glitter is well glued and doesn't shed. There is a crimson satin shawl around her arms, and a black satin ribbon in her golden blonde hair. Her straight bangs are a little too long, and partially hide her left eye. Her hair is soft except for her bangs, and end in gentle curls. There is a small red cloth rose with a short green stem. I left the rubberband securing it to her right hand. She has violet eyes glancing to her left, and dark pink lips in an open smile. She is barefoot, with rubber legs and fixed angled feet (as if she is on tip toes). Her left arm, which has the singing switch in her wrist, has a fixed elbow. She is a beautiful and fairly accurate depiction of Briar Rose.

Here are photos I took of the promo placard and display dolls at my local Disney Store today. They were only supposed to display the Cinderella doll (which is actually the second doll to be released). But the manager brought out the Snow White, Jasmine and Ariel dolls from the back so I can see them and take photos. They have not yet received the last two dolls to be released, Tiana and Belle. The placard lists the release dates and photos of the dolls, along with their edition sizes. They will be released one per week on Saturday, starting on October 6, rather than the usual Tuesday. They will start to hand out vouchers starting an hour before store opening and lasting about 30 minutes. They will then announce the winners of the raffle about 20 minutes before store opening, who may then purchase the doll being released that day. The online release will take place at 12:01 AM (Pacific time) on the morning of that same day. Each doll will cost $109.95.

I took some photos of the the Minnie Mouse Signature Limited Edition Doll and associated merchandise displayed at my local Disney Store today. She will be released on National Polka Dot Day, Monday January 22, 2018. She is the sixth Minnie Mouse Signature LE Doll produced by the Disney Store so far. She comes in a display case that is of the same design as that of the Disney Designer Doll collection from 2011 to 2016.

My Holiday Elsa next to the Frozen Fever Elsa. Holiday Elsa is still attached to the backing, but Frozen Fever Elsa has been fully deboxed.

Detailed photos of the Olaf's Frozen Adventure Elsa Limited Edition Doll. I got her from my local Disney Store on release day, Tuesday December 12, 2017, along with Anna. I was the only one waiting for the dolls before the store opened. She is #3818 of 7000.

I like her very much, both her new face and outfit. But she does have a couple of defects. One is that her hair is a bit messy on top, where part of her crown of bangs going the wrong way. The other is that there is a shallow cut on her forehead, that is especially visible when looking straight on in bright lighting. I think of it as a scar from the fight in the ice castle. The nicest thing I've discovered about the doll is that she has dark blue ice heels.

I show her in box, and with all the covers removed. I will debox her later. I show her next to my deboxed Frozen Fever Elsa doll and Harrods Snow Queen Elsa doll. Unlike those two dolls, OFA Elsa's cape doesn't have any embroidery. The snowflake and icicle patterns are depicted using glued on silver glitter appliques and clear crystals. Her dress does have considerable use of embroidery.

The new singing Cinderella 11 1/2 inch doll sings one verse, about 11 seconds long, of 'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.' HD video, 14 seconds long.

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.

The newly released Tiana Deluxe Singing Doll has been fully deboxed. She is posed standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand (not included). I have placed the Naveen Frog figure in her right hand. Her other accessories are placed around her.

She sings 30 seconds of ''Almost There'' when her left wrist is twisted. She has a beautiful glittering white full length dress with a side slit. The straps of the dress are glittering gold. Unfortunately, the glitter does shed quite a bit, and my doll had glitter all over her sticky rubber legs. Unlike most of the other Tiana dolls, her hair is down, and not in a bun. It is heavily gelled throughout, so it is quite stiff, and cannot be combed or brushed. She has a golden necklace (similar in design to the one worn by Aurora), and a white feather in her hair. She has white high heels, matching her dress.

She comes in a beautiful box that is modeled after a story book, with a front lid that opens, and reveals images from the movie ''The Princess and the Frog'' inside. She comes with many accessories. They include a small frog figure, a menu, a pot, a colander, a large spoon and fork, and salt and pepper shakers.

The most unique accessory is a ''magical'' pot of gumbo. It is a large clear pot shaped container with colored liquid and many ingredients. It has handles and a pouring spout. It is like a snow globe, in that you can shake it and watch the ingredient swirl inside the pot. The pot is hollow, so the liquid in in the thick sides of the pot. On the bottom of the pot there is a rotating bar with a magnet at one end of the bar. There is a matching magnet at the end of the spoon. When you rotate the spoon inside of the pot, the magnet in the bottom of the pot follows the spoon, and stirs the ingredients. You don't have to touch the bottom of the pot to make it stir, but it is more effective if you do. There is even froth that forms at the top of the pot, that makes it look as though the gumbo is boiling.

The Disney Store lists this doll as a Talking Doll, but since she actually sings rather than talks, I prefer to call her a singing doll instead. Also that is how she is labeled on the box she comes in.

I bought several new items in the Disney Store on Friday July 11, 2014. The Deluxe Singing Ariel and Tiana dolls, an Olaf plush purse, and a new style Ariel reusable shopping bag to put them in.

Here are photos I took of the promo placard and display dolls at my local Disney Store today. They were only supposed to display the Cinderella doll (which is actually the second doll to be released). But the manager brought out the Snow White, Jasmine and Ariel dolls from the back so I can see them and take photos. They have not yet received the last two dolls to be released, Tiana and Belle. The placard lists the release dates and photos of the dolls, along with their edition sizes. They will be released one per week on Saturday, starting on October 6, rather than the usual Tuesday. They will start to hand out vouchers starting an hour before store opening and lasting about 30 minutes. They will then announce the winners of the raffle about 20 minutes before store opening, who may then purchase the doll being released that day. The online release will take place at 12:01 AM (Pacific time) on the morning of that same day. Each doll will cost $109.95.

The 2016 Classic Pocahontas doll has been completely deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser stand, with Flit perched on her hand. She is joined by the 2011 Classic Pocahontas doll. I will also compare other Disney Store Pocahontas dolls with the 2016 version at a later time.

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.

Ariel and Eric are deboxed, and are side by side.

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.

They were only supposed to display the Cinderella doll (which is actually the second doll to be released).

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.

The schedule of releases (for the US and Canada):

Snow White, 10/6/2018, LE 4100

Cinderella, 10/13/2018, LE 4400

disneystore Frozen Fever deluxe set 2015..lol their expressions..

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.

I debox Aurora first, and will debox the others soon. Aurora is in her purple and black peasant outfit, with glitter floral design on her skirt. The glitter is well glued and doesn't shed. There is a crimson satin shawl around her arms, and a black satin ribbon in her golden blonde hair. Her straight bangs are a little too long, and partially hide her left eye. Her hair is soft except for her bangs, and end in gentle curls. There is a small red cloth rose with a short green stem. I left the rubberband securing it to her right hand. She has violet eyes glancing to her left, and dark pink lips in an open smile. She is barefoot, with rubber legs and fixed angled feet (as if she is on tip toes). Her left arm, which has the singing switch in her wrist, has a fixed elbow. She is a beautiful and fairly accurate depiction of Briar Rose.

I also got the Princess Mulan Tea Ceremony Playset ($29.95) today from my Disney Store. This is available online in the UK, but not in the US yet. My store didn't have the Belle or Anna playsets
