Deboxing my Rapunzel and Flynn Rider Doll Set. First the cardboard cover sleeve is slipped off the case, to reveal the dolls behind the acrylic cover of the case. Then the acrylic cover is taken off, so the dolls are now in clear view. They are anchored to the base by the built in doll stands, and attached to the cardboard backing and plastic spaces by wires, rubber bands, thread and plastic T-tabs. Rapunzel looks lovely in her dramatic pose, gazing at the lantern held aloft in her right hand. Unfortunately, she completely blocks Flynn, who is almost directly behind her. They don't look very romantic when they aren't looking at each other, and are not touching, with a large hunk of plastic between them.

First Look
I got my Rapunzel and Flynn Rider Doll Set from my local Disney Store today, its release day, Tuesday September 3, 2013. There were only ten (10) people in the raffle for 18 doll sets, so less than the crowd for Snow White and the Prince (when there were about a dozen takers). Once again I was the first name to be called (I know, something smells fishy about that kind of luck), so I was happy to be the first to purchase my Tangled doll set. I noticed that the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection section now had the four remaining doll sets all displayed. The Snow White doll set was now gone from the display, as they are sold out. They were now restocked with mugs, and had a good supply of all five different DFDC mugs. I didn't bring my camera, so I didn't take any photos of the display.
As soon as I paid for my doll set, I took it outside, to a table in a rest area just outside the store. I took the box out of the gift bag, and saw the base and sleeve were in perfect shape. Then I carefully lifted the cover sleeve off the case, and inspected the dolls. They both looked in perfect shape. Rapunzel was even in a decent pose, with her head tilted at a normal looking angle, to gaze at the lantern. She looked as beautiful as I expected from seeing her in the promo images, and in person at the D23 Expo and my local store. What I was most impressed with was her outfit, as I never looked really close at it before, being afraid to handle the display dolls in the Expo or my local stores. While I was inspecting the dolls, several people near me asked about the dolls, and I put on my best salesman face to sell them on the dolls. They looked as though they were impressed by the look of the dolls.
I will photograph the dolls boxed, during the deboxing, and then fully deboxed. I will also compare them with other dolls in my collection.
Text of the box notes on the back of the cover sleeve:
A romantic at heart, Rapunzel is artistic, creative and full of curiosity. Spending her days painting and singing, her energy is as limitless as her hair is long. However, when the handsome thief Flynn Rider picks her mysterious and secluded tower as his hideout, the two begin a journey together that will untangle many secrets along the way.
Signature long hair romantically styled with braiding and flowers. Printed satin corset bodice with puffed velvet sleeves and lace detail. Warm illuminating lantern.
Layered gown with ornate golden detailing. Rich velvet overlay with gemstones and gold printed inset.
Suede-like vest that's belted with a satchel to hold the Princess' crown. Boots to finish his rugged look.
The front room is a combination kitchen/living room.
The kitchen has a full-size fridge with ice maker, a microwave, oven, full-size dishwasher, and a garbage disposal. It's all kinda crammed in there, though, so when you're standing in front of the sink and you open the dishwasher door, the space is very small. But it's nice to have full-sized appliances.
The kitchen corner can get a little dark, but there are counter lights under the cupboard, as well as the ceiling light fixture.
There is only one small drawer in the kitchen, so I added the dresser next to the oven. It has three large drawers. There is a place to hang pots over that.
A shot taken some time ago but then I lost it and then I found it and then lost it again, this went on for some time - anyway, I've now found it again!
I believe this is a Red Legged Partridge, cute little things running around by the house and they are back again this year.
When we first saw them we weren't sure what they were called so when Paul asked me I wanted to sound all intelligent and said the first thing that came into my head which happened to be..... a Quaver!!!!! So in our wibbly wobbly world that is what we now call them.
This is the "Simple Swing Jacket" from Indygo Junction. I lined it because it would have frayed too badly otherwise.
Front of Bag. still needs handles. made from recycled navy digital blouse. this blouse had a huge rip in it. I removed and reattached the front pocket, and used a leftover name tape. Yellow ribbon for deployment
Pattern from "Deploy that Fabric" by Jen Eskridge.
DH screwed the trees into a piece of wood to hold them steady. I added red beads to these trees this year.
Another view of front of house. Owners still don't know what to do with the old fence. Take it down or slap some white paint on it

An old man is attending the endless sea, the unknown future in front of his eyes, carrying his age barriers…He wills to go on, his steps are blocked by the years on his back. No more dreams, waiting is what is left…
The poem of Constantine Cavafy passed in front of my eyes as I was watching the scene from my balcony:-
Candles
The days of our future stand in front of us
like a row of little lit candles --
golden, warm, and lively little candles.
The days past remain behind us,
a mournful line of extinguished candles;
the ones nearest are still smoking,
cold candles, melted, and bent.
I do not want to look at them; their form saddens me,
and it saddens me to recall their first light.
I look ahead at my lit candles.
I do not want to turn back, lest I see and shudder
at how fast the dark line lengthens,
at how fast the extinguished candles multiply.

Ένας γέρος ατενίζει την απέραντη θάλασσα, εμπρός του μόνον το άγνωστο μέλλον, κουβαλώντας τα βαρίδια της ηλικίας του... Θέλει να προχωρήσει, τα βήματά του εμποδίζονται από τα χρόνια που θρόνιασαν στην πλάτη του. Όχι πλέον όνειρα, η αναμονή απόμεινε μόνον...
Το ακόλουθο ποίημα του Κ. Καβάφη πέρασε εμπρός από τα μάτια μου παρατηρώντας τη σκηνή από το μπαλκόνι μου:
Κεριά
Του μέλλοντος οι μέρες στέκοντ' εμπροστά μας
σα μια σειρά κεράκια αναμένα --
χρυσά, ζεστά, και ζωηρά κεράκια.
Η περασμένες μέρες πίσω μένουν,
μια θλιβερή γραμμή κεριών σβυσμένων·
τα πιο κοντά βγάζουν καπνόν ακόμη,
κρύα κεριά, λυωμένα, και κυρτά.
Δεν θέλω να τα βλέπω· με λυπεί η μορφή των,
και με λυπεί το πρώτο φως των να θυμούμαι.
Εμπρός κυττάζω τ' αναμμένα μου κεριά.
Δεν θέλω να γυρίσω να μη διώ και φρίξω
τι γρήγορα που η σκοτεινή γραμμή μακραίνει,
τι γρήγορα που τα σβηστά κεριά πληθαίνουν.
The front of the house right before the roofing project began. Meanwhile, Ben's working on pavers in the side yard.
The front dome on 659 was badly marked and had vandalism on it when we got the bus. The graffiti cleaned off but the remaining marks meant I was planning to sand and re-paint the dome. However as you can see here a further scrub with cellulose thinners and then some hot soapy water took all the remaining marks of the done and it looks great so NO need to paint the top half anymore.
