Cinderella has now been deboxed. Lying down. After removing her from the doll stand, there isn't any further restraints to remove from her, except for the wire around the base of her curly bun, and a single tie attaching one of her peplums to the the skirt. I tried to tidy up her curly bun, but one of the curls refused to stay put. I will try again tomorrow. The back of the dress is a very lovely design, with three tiers. The bottom tier is actually a short train.
Deboxing the Cinderella and Prince Charming Doll Set. The covers have been removed, and the cardboard backing cut open. The dolls are then freed from the backing, but are still attached to the plastic spacer and doll stands. The backing is then cut off from the base of the display stand. Then the dolls are freed from the spacer.
The Cinderella and Prince Charming Doll Set, the third release in the 2014 Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. I got Cinderella today (Tuesday Oct 7, 2014) at my local Disney Store. There were 15 people entered for 16 dolls. She is #4755 of 6000. Her curly hair is in more of an updo than the curly pony tale of the stock image. But that may be just how it was packaged, and may drop down into a ponytail when I debox her. She has exactly the same head position as the artwork and deboxed stock photo, so no Exorcist head here. Here are some preliminary photos of the set boxed, and then with the covers removed. I will be fully deboxing her in the next day or two.

ON THE BEACH. . . “To miss this book would be to miss one of the century’s greatest tales. . .” – Philip Wylie
ON THE BEACH is the story of a small community of men and women who have the courage and faith to love and work and live in the face of imminent death. . .
ON THE BEACH is reality just a push-button away. Read it now. . . when you can be sure it’s only fiction.

A 1959 American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama from United Artists, based on Nevil Shute's 1957 novel of the same name depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war. Unlike in the novel, no one is assigned blame for starting the war; the film hints that global annihilation may have arisen from an accident or misjudgment. [Source: Wikipedia]
The display LE Aurora doll on the register counter, in front of me.
Pre-ordering the Limited Editon Aurora 17'' Doll and the Diamond Edition Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray/DVD at the Disney Store, on July 28, 2014.
I got to the store at 7:30 am. At 7:40 am three more collectors showed up, who were all collectors that I knew from previous LE doll releases at the same store. We got a sneak peek at the LE Aurora about an hour before the store opened. At about 9:30 am one more person showed up, who was getting the doll for his wife. Then right before store opening at 10 am, a woman showed up who was looking for Frozen items, and didn't know anything about LE Aurora. It turns out the store had 16 dolls, so the five of us could have ordered three each if there wasn't a limit of one per guest.
The manager let me take photos of the display sample LE Aurora as she was ringing me up for the doll and Diamond Edition DVD pre-orders. There was a snafu with the computer system, so no vouchers were printed, so she said the receipts would be good enough when it came time to pick them up on Oct 7. They changed the voucher holders to just cards instead of folders, so they just stapled the receipts to the cards. There was also no longer any discount coupon on the DVD voucher card.
The doll herself was gorgeous. The more outstanding thing about her, and which doesn't come out in photos very well, is the magical golden sparkle in the hair made by the golden tinsel. The tinsel consists of very thin transparent threads with tiny golden beads embedded. She looked as though she had gold dust sprinkled throughout her head. The gold thread in her outfit also sparkled in the light.
They had some Art of Aurora items for sale, and also some of the other newly released Sleeping Beauty merchandise. I didn't buy any of them, as I had already bought what I wanted online, for now.

Created with fd's Flickr Toys
It's been a while since the Romantic Era LOVETONES dolls arrived in the last quarter of 2016. Time for a review. They were only available through pre-order per mail after their creator and designer Rocce Liang advertised the option on Instagram and Flickr. There were again two dolls offered, the red-haired Lena and the red-blond-haired Roxy. The LOVETONES dolls were created by doll fashion designer Rocco Liang. Editon size was 150 dolls for Roxy and 130 dolls for Lena. I'm under the impression that they have sold out, as have the original LOVETONES from 2015. They are 1/6 size and can wear Fashion Royalty, Nu.Face and similar outfits. Their bodies are closer to Nu.Face than to Fashion Royalty though.
Romantic Era Lena shipped from Taiwan. She comes with two gorgeous dresses, a fabulous uniform-style jacket, two stylish earrings, two pairs of high-heeled shoes, a decorative ribbon, and a very nice handbag.
The Bad
Hard to find anything bad.
Maybe this: The tigh coverings for her gladiator heels have to be stretched to fit over the foot. I fear they will break after being put on and taken off a few times.
The Neutral
Neither green stripes in the packaging, no silicon bags. No mold either.
No hair net, hair otherwise in very good condition.
Outfits are in one sealed plastic bag, each sealed in separately. To get at the outfits the plastic bag has to be cut open repeatedly, until it's completely destroyed. Not the best storing option.
Hands seem rather large compared to the head, but in proportion.
Hands can be removed for easier redressing.
Some joints are a bit loose, others a bit stiff. Nothing awkward, but I noticed.
Doll comes with a completely new, metal stand. One holding option: waist hugger. Base is small but works very well.
Certificate of authenticity, edition number (70 of 130).
The Good
Great looking and very professionally done packaging.
Improved body (at least my impression)
Wonderful curled and long hair in at least good quality and good condition.
Perfect face paint/make-up/blushing. Gorgeous eyes and eye make-up. (I think I remember that Rocco announced he would touch up every face personally. Looking at my doll it might be true. I just cannot verify that right now.)
Perfectly applied lashes.
Doll stands and balances well on her own mostly.
Very good posability.
Head is clearly smaller than FR heads. Lena looks less doll-like and more like a real model.
Again no tags in her head! :-)
Still unique attitude.
Fun to photograph.
Fabulous designed and more than gorgeous two complete outfits. In fact, it's a gift set.
Great looking and nice feeling skin.
Bottom Line
Romantic Era LOVETONES are the the second generation of a new line, so they don't have (most of) the flaws of the original LOVETONES from 2015.
There's very little bad and lots of good! Lena remains a wonderful doll with a fierce attitude and gorgeous looks. Wearing the right fashions and placed in a stylish diorama, she will blow you away.
Without a doubt Lena is worth her prize. I'm a LOVETONES fan, of course I would buy her again.
Is she a must have? No, but to me no doll is. She is a great additon to any fashion doll collection, though she will outshine nearly all other fashion dolls.
The only thing I'm sorry about is that I didn't order Romantic Era Roxy too.
10 of 10 points.
I sincerely hope these LOVETONES will become a bigger success and there will be more LOVETONES dolls this year. I'd like to see a dark-skinned African beauty to name only one. I'm looking forward to the fashions Rocco will create for his LOVETONES.
I used my first LOVETONES review as a starting point for this new review. So if a few sentences feel like you're read them before, you probably did.
These are my personal thoughts and impressions, so feel free to disagree.
Speak your mind, spit it out !
Les années 80 commençaient à peine et ça s’annonçait super bien.
La chanson française prenait bonne tournure, le rock avec Téléphone et son ‘Au cœur de la nuit’, et même la chânson frânçaise annonçait une ‘nouvelle vie’ avec Michel Jonasz. Un grand souvenir de concert à l’Olympia.
Début 81, sur la base d’une chronique élogieuse dans R&F, je me laissais aller à acheter le premier album solo de celui qui avait osé prendre la place de Peter Gabriel après son départ de Genesis. Le temps d’un double album live, ‘Seconds Out’ enregistré à Paris au Palais des Sports, j’avais pensé que ça allait pouvoir le faire. Et puis non, je n’ai plus rien écouté du Genesis d’après, ou alors par accident.
Encore aujourd’hui, je trouve ce ‘Face Value’ attachant. C’était un album de rupture, ou plutôt d’après rupture. Avec des titres comme ‘the roof is leaking’, ‘I missed again’, ‘if leaving me is easy’, on était dans le lourdement signifiant, mais on était dans le vécu, le mec avait morflé. Les paroles ne faisaient pas que frôler le pathétique avec des ‘if leaving me is easy but coming back is harder’ (elle voulait pas revenir,putain !) mais globalement ça sonnait juste. Et sincère. Et musicalement, ça faisait mieux que tenir la route. Sur-produit (Hugh Pagdham strikes again !) comme beaucoup de choses qui allait polluer ces années 80, la présence des EWF horns, la sonorité presque africaine de certains titres, et même la reprise de Tomorrow never knows, bref l’ensemble faisait mieux que tenir la route.
Cette ‘remastered editon’ parue fin janvier 2016 est bienvenue. Bienvenue parce que sobre : 1 cd avec juste l’album original, pas de ‘alternate take’ ou autre ‘bonus track’, juste un 2e cd avec des versions live et demo que j’écouterai peut-être ou pas.
Car après, faut bien avouer que ça s’est sérieusement gâté, comme tout le reste de la musique des années 80. Au point d’avoir eu pendant longtemps la sinistre impression de m’être fait fait avoir, de m’être laissé prendre par les sentiments avec ce 1er album solo. D’abord, il a continué avec son portrait, en gros plan, sur chacun de ses albums suivants. Pour le premier, ok ça collait avec le titre de l’album et le côté autobiographique de l’ensemble. Ensuite, dès le second, j’ai décroché. Ça puait le procédé, c’était toujours sur-sur produit, et surtout ça n’avait plus aucun intérêt. De la variétoche.
ça restera donc le seul album de Phil Collins que j’aurai acheté.
Bref, comme on dit par chez nous : "Le dernier arrivé est fan de Phil Collins !".
Trop la honte !
Un jour, faudra que je parle de mon penchant, coupable, pour les Eagles et les 2 Fleetwood Mac, Rumours et Tusk, cette variétoche américaine du milieu des 70s.
Si si, un jour, faudra.
ça sera comme sorte d'exorcisme.
Thank you to everyone who has been following me with these ooak dolls. It's almost been a year since I started, and I have really come a long way in doll painting, and costume making. Here we have, Maleficent. She is my favorite villain. I loved the way Angelina Jolie portrayed her in the movie. She really brought a new fierce side to the character that I loved! I knew I had to make a doll of her. Her outfit is faux black leather. I loved it because it looked like a dragons skin! Her outfit is lined with the silkiest green crushed satin. Her nice plush velvet skirt is also lined with the green satin. I made all of her accessories, and painted all her details, and made her dress. I also painted her face, and have her real lashes. She is studded I. Glass black beads, and black crystals. I hope you enjoy my new ooak doll!:) and thank you again for all of the encouragement, and compliments! You guys are the best!:)

This week's highlight is this nice G 63 from Abu Dhabi. While Qatari plates seem to occur naturally during summer in Düsseldorf, other Arab plates are a lot less common to encounter, but still more common than in Berlin. It was pretty cool to see a G63 with a push bar, since these are illegal in the EU. What's also illegal are tinted front windows. The plate itself is also fairly nice, sporting only three digits.
Remember those "Justification for a Higher Education" posters from the 1970's? This is my take on one. :)

Today I will review my Lovetone doll Lena. I ordered her from the site www.lovetonesdoll.com for 168 $ plus 40 $ shipping to Europe/Germany. There are two dolls offered, the dark-haired Lena and the blond-haired Roxy. The Lovetones doll were created by doll fashion designer Rocco Liang. Editon size is 350 dolls each and both dolls were still available at the time of this review. They are 1/6 size and can wear Fashion Royalty and similar outfits.
Lena shipped from Taiwan and arrived sooner than expected. Lena comes wearing her jumpsuit, one stylish earring, and her high-heeled black boots, with a gorgeous coat, and a very nice handbag (both items I still have to unpack and photograph).
The Bad
- Small open seam on her upper left arm and on her lower left leg.
- I don't like the rather large gaps around her shoulder joints.
- The fit of the jumpsuit could be slightly better. My Lena has a tendency to expose her left nipple.
- Two small black spots on her left hip/leg-joint.
The Neutral
- There are two green stripes in the packaging, no silicon bags.
- No hair net, hair came twisted in a loose braid, otherwise very good condition.
- The material of the jumpsuit is quite thick and reminds me a little of a thermo suit.
- Boot design is simple.
- Hands seem rather large compared to the head, but in proportion.
- Hands can be removed for easier redressing.
- No certificate of authenticity, no edition number (x of 350).
The Good
- Great looking and very professionally done packaging.
- Very long hair in at least good quality and very good condition.
- Close to perfect face paint/make-up/blushing. Gorgeous eyes and eye make-up.
- Perfectly applied lashes.
- Doll stands and balances well on her own.
- Excellent posability.
- Head is clearly smaller than FR heads. Lena looks less doll-like and more like a real model.
- No tags in her head! :-)
- New and unique attitude.
- Fun to photograph.
- Well designed and more than beautiful outfit.
- Great looking and nice feeling skin.
Bottom Line
Lovetones is a completely new line, so some first time difficulties are to be expected. The only things I'm not happy with are the slightly open seams and the rather large gaps in the shoulder joints. Both can be covered with fitting outfits.
The good far outweights the bad. Lena is a fresh, new doll with a fierce attitude and gorgeous looks. Wearing the right fashions and placed in a stylish diorama, she will blow you away.
Is she worth the prize? To me she is. Knowing what I know now, I doubtless would buy her again.
Is she a must have? No, but to me no doll is. She is a great additon to any fashion doll collection, though I guess she will outshine most other fashion dolls.
So, buy one while they last. ;-)
9 of 10 points.
I sincerely hope these Lovetones will be a success and there will be more Lovetones dolls in the future. I'd like to see a dark-skinned African beauty, to name only one. A CoA with edition number would be nice then. I'm looking forward to the fashions Rocco will create for his Lovetones.
These are my personal impressions, so feel free to disagree.
Snow White and her Prince have now been fully deboxed. They are posed standing, supported by the built-in doll stands in the base of the display case.
This regular version of the Snow White and the Prince Disney Fairytale Designer Collection Doll Set has the same two base dolls as the D23 special edition dolls that I reviewed earlier. That is the dolls themselves are identical in every way (except for the serial numbers on the back of the Prince dolls). They also have outfits of almost identical designs, but made of different materials and with differing colors. So the dolls have different looks, especially the Snow Whites.
Snow White has the body of a 2012 Disney Store Classic Princess doll. That is, she has hard plastic legs, with hinged knee joints and ball jointed ankles. She is missing the usual manufacturer's marks printed on Disney limited edition dolls, including the part number and her edition size and serial number. She is also missing the twist waist joint of the previous Designer Princess and Designer Villain dolls. She has a pale complexion, the same as the 2012 Snow White, with whom she shares the same body. However, her neck joint has more freedom of movement, especially downward, and her painted on panties are deep golden yellow, much darker than the 2012 Snow White.
Her face mold appears to be the same as the 2012 and 2013 Classic Snow White, but with a considerably different face paint than either of them. She has large dark brown eyes that are glancing to her left, with four short thick lashes over each eye and four very short and thin lashes under each eye. Over her eyes is gold eyeshadow, and thin black eyebrows gently following the curve of her eyes. She also had short rooted eyelashes that are just barely curving upwards, and are even in length. She has a small button nose, a small mouth with blood red lips forming a charming open mouth smile. She has light pink rouge over most of her cheeks, and a round face with small chin. She is a very beautiful and faithful representation of the sweet and charming movie character.
Her hair is a considerable departure from the traditional short flip hairdo. Her jet black hair is parted to the left of her head, and pulled tightly over her head into a medium length braided ponytail that tapers down to a point and is secured by black rubberband, and is sewn to her collar on her right side. There is a small amount of hair product applied just above her forehead, to a thin strip of her hair. In my doll, that strip keeps on separating from the rest of her hair. I haven't been able to integrate it with the rest of her hair; perhaps I will have to apply more hair product to keep it place. There is a thin bright red satin ribbon around the top of her head that ends in a small bow at left side of her head.
Her outfit is a take on her traditional Princess gown. Her bodice and skirt are separate pieces. The bodice is dark blue velvet with gold piping and elaborate gold embroidery, and decorated with a bow made of metallic gold thread. The floral design is similar to the D23 doll, but differs in its details. She has puffy sleeves of the same dark blue velvet, with separate ribbons of bright red satin that float over the velvet. The sleeves have black lace cuffs decorated with gold hearts, and the oversized collar is pure white lace folded in a fan-like manner behind her neck and head. Her skirt is dark golden taffeta with gold embroidering incorporating fleur-de-lis, flowers and hearts. The embroidery in the skirt is identical to that of the D23 doll. The taffeta gives the skirt has a wrinkled, antique appearance. It has a thin pale tan satin lining. There are golden rhinestones scattered throughout the bodice and skirt of her dress. Under her dress is a floor length white satin slip with the lacey pattern at the hem showing below her skirt. It is sewn to her skirt at two spots at the hem, which I chose to leave alone for now. It is also sewn to the waist band of the skirt, so it is a permanent part of the skirt. She is wearing golden tan flat shoes (or slippers), the same as the D23 doll. It is a beautifully designed and beautifully made outfit that is a darker and more ornated version of the Princess outfit of the movie character.
The Prince appears to have the standard Disney Store Prince body, with articulation at the neck, shoulders, hinge jointed elbows, ball jointed hips, and internal knee joints with limited movement. His hands and feet are large, but his head is disproportionately small compared to Snow White. His face has a neutral expression, with small, narrow deep blue eyes, wide mouth and a straight nose. His molded dark brown hair looks okay. His face doesn't look that movie accurate to me; I actually prefer the playline Classic Prince. As with all Disney Prince dolls, he is sturdily built, and can free stand fairly stably. But for safe keeping, it is best to put him up in the included doll stand, which has a wide C-clamp that goes around his waist very snuggly.
The Prince's outfit is very well made and fitted to his body. It consists of a dark blue faux leather vest, a bright red velvet and satin cape with gold piping permanently attached at the shoulders of the vest, a dark blue faux leather belt with a gold metal buckle and a short black faux leather scabbard attached, white satin shirt, black pants and black boots with a worn look and creases. In the scabbard is a steel gray sword with a brown handle. The sword is thin and very flexible. It was slightly bent out of the box, but was easily bent back into shape. The D23 Prince's vest is much thicker, and feels much more like real leather than this Prince doll. But this Prince has an outfit that is much closer in color to the movie character. He looks great in his outfit, and very dashing, but I wish his expression had more emotion, and was more cheerful.

Deboxing the Tiana and Naveen doll set. First its protective cover sleeve taken off. Then the acrylic top cover of the display case is removed. It is loosened from the tabs on the bottom of the case, then slowly slid off the cardboard backing. The dolls are now in clear view. They are attached to the backing and various plastic spacers.
I purchased the Tiana and Naveen Disney Fairytale Designer Doll Set at my local Disney Store, on its release day, Tuesday September 23, 2014. There were only five persons entered in the drawing, and the store had 15 sets to sell. I got my set and opened it up at the register to make sure everything looked good. They looked perfect to me. I took a quick photo, with permission from the CM. In better lighting, the gold embroidery in her dress was much more impressive than I remembered it from looking at the display dolls. I also looked at the back, and it was #4872 of 6000. That was a nice number to me, so I declined the offer from the CM to look at another set to see if it had a lower number. I will photograph the set boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I will also show the set next to other comparable dolls.

I am fortunate to live near a breeding area of Mississippi Kites. Although not as prevelant last summer, they were still around and I was able to get a few shots. This image, though, is from 2008. It was featured in Birder's World magazine, the February 2009 editon, in its Fieldcraft section.

Ich bin grad total happy =D
Aurora ist heute angekommen \o/ - Wuhuuuuu.... kein Makel... alles heil =D (das ist immer meine größte Angst.... dass irgendwas auf dem Transportweg kaputt gehen könnte xD )
Sie ist wunderschön <3 <3 <3
Ich war ja schon verliebt, als ich die Promo-Shots gesehen hab.... aber jetzt bin ich hin und weg xD
Mal schauen, ob ich sie deboxen werde... ich erfreue mich grad noch an ihr... indem ich sie in ihrer Schachtel ansehe xD
Redressing my Designer Tinker Bell doll. First her tulle underskirt is put on. Then her skirt is put on, and secured by Velcro in the back. Finally her top is put on, and the secured in the back by Velcro, with her wings attached. She is now fully deboxed and fully clothed.
Undressing my Designer Tinker Bell doll. She outfit is taken off, to which her wings are attached, then her short tulle underskirt. I leave her shoes and hair ornament on. On her lower back is her edition number and size, #2710 of 4000, matching what was printed on the Certificate of Authenticity.
She has the original style Designer Princess body, with a swivel waist joint and rubber legs. She also has ball jointed neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hip joints. She measures 11 1/2'' standing on her toes, the same as the Disney Designer Princess dolls, even though she is listed at 11'' H. She is quite a bit taller than other Disney Tinker Bell dolls, as the Classic Tinker Bell is 10'' tall, and the Parks Tinker Bell is 10 1/2'' tall. She has the same head and face mold as the current (2014) Classic Tinker Bell, but is painted quite differently. She has shiny pearly skin on her face (as well as the rest of her body), so she has a very different look. I would say she is more elegant and classy than the other Tinker Bell dolls, as well as more beautiful, so she would fit right in with the other Disney Designer dolls. Her face is quite a bit shinier than the rest of her body, and causes a bit of problem photographing her using flash.
Her outfit is inspired by her iconic short green dress. But it's style also borrows from a tutu, and in fact her overall appearance is as a ballerina with wings. The details of her dress are listed in the product description below. Her fairy wings are a single piece of transparent plastic that is tinted pale green, and is iridescent. It looks like a butterfly with its wings slightly folded. It is sewn to the back of her dress, right behind a Velcro closure. She has unique green leaf and vine styled shoes, with faux pearls instead of pom-poms on top. I like the fact that there is no glitter on her outfit, instead she has golden embroidery in her bodice, and green jewels in her skirt and bodice.
Her hair is golden blonde, and styled in a tight bun, with a braid around its base. She has her iconic bangs in front, with a couple extra long side bangs, all of which are heavily gelled to keep their shape. She is wearing a green leaf hair ornament. She has short rooted eyelashes with a bit of curl to them. She has thin dark pink lips in a charming open mouthed smile. She has a tiny button nose and long pointy ears. I think she has a bit of the appearance of the original Tinker Bell character from Peter Pan, and the current Disney Fairies Tink. She is a very beautiful doll.

First look at my Tinker Bell Limited Edition Designer Doll. My Zarina is 0137 of 4000. There were no designer bags, as there were in the previous Designer doll collections.
I visited my local Disney Store on Februay 18, 2014, 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.

GiGi and i had so much fun witht his chanlenge she realy enjoyed getting wet and had a blast! Hope you make i through this round
Sunny Tuesday greetings, collectors! Youngna here, standing in for Jen who is briefly in San Francisco, but excited to be returning to New York very soon. Team 20x200 is slowly recovering from hectic schedules and that nasty flu that's been making its way around the city, which we're sorry to say has us a bit behind on our shipping. We're still catching up, so recent orders haven't shipped as speedily as they usually do and orders made on today's edition, think-make-think (second edition) by Clifton Burt will need a little bit of extra time too.
think-make-think may look familiar to you collectors because it's true: you've seen it here before. We initially released this edition just before we introduced our $50 size, and were immediately sad about the timing because it has continued to be a very popular and inspirational print. So, we are back with a special second edition celebrating the John Maeda-inspired words for continued creativity. Maeda—graphic designer, professor, author of The Laws of Simplicity and President of RISD—is himself a beacon of design inspiration. In April of 2007, he posted a haiku on his blog which inspired Clifton's edition seen here.
It was entitled think-make-think, and to me it fulfilled the potential of Maeda's simplicity. Over the next few months, that haiku often found its way to the forefront of my mind. When our studio acquired the remnants of a discarded arrow sign, it was clear to me that think-make-think was a perfect fit, both in form and function.
The words of think-make-think sent Clifton digging for arrow sign letters in a Mississippi junk store to bring you the words in this new and vibrant form. It joins other text-based messages encouraging the innovative powers within like Matt Jones' Get Excited and Make Things (shown right) and Trey Speegle's paint-by-numbers piece, Can You Imagine. All three editions open the door to the limitless possibilities of creating things and finding encouragement in simple and meaningful phrases.
We also thought it'd be apt to re-release this print in honor of Make/Think, this weekend's AIGA Design Conference in Memphis, Tennessee. Our own Jane Mount and the talented Kate Bingaman-Burt (Drawings from July 2009, shown left)—who just happens to be Clifton's wife—will both be speaking there, which makes Jen even sadder to miss the event. The weekend will be packed with presentations, roundtables, lectures, and workshops led by talented design-industry professionals celebrating the practice of making new things and really thinking about them.
AIGA Design Conference
October 8–11, 2009
Memphis, TN
Look for Kate from 7:45–8:45 a.m. this Friday, October 9th at a roundtable discussion with Andre Andreev, Dan Covert, Nick Law, Bobby Martin, and Paul Sahre.
Jane will be on the panel, Wisdom of Communities | Inspiring Communities with Jim Coudal, Liz Danzico, and Derek Powazek, also this Friday, October 9th from 2:15–3:30 p.m.
We'll be back tomorrow and Thursday with extra special editions—a benefit and new photography from an old favorite. So long 'til then!

Ariel is next to be removed from the display stand. She is still tied to the doll stand, and her dress still tacked to the base of the stand. There was also tissue paper wrapped around her legs under her skirt. There was a tie in the back of her skirt that when cut made the skirt fuller. Her hair was in two sections in the factory packaging, but the gap was easily shaken out. There was hair product to set the curls, but her hair was still fairly soft, especially in the straighter parts. She is wearing dark blue flats, matching the color of her skirt. Her outfit was in four pieces: her blue satin skirt with gold embroidery and jewels, her corset-like blue velvet bodice also with gold embroidery and jewels, her white tulle petticoat, and her satin long sleeved blouse with lacy collar and cuffs. She has no edition number stampings, unlike Eric, but like the other Princesses in this series. She is removed from the doll stand, and laid down to partially undress her, to see the construction of her outfit, and to inspect her lower back for markings. Then her blouse and skirt are closed up, and then her bodice is put back on. She is now fully deboxed.
Eric is the first to be removed from the display stand. He is place on a counter to inspect his outfit, and partially disassemble it. First, his sash and belt are sewn together, so I cut the stitching (except for one), so I could remove it. The belt has a Velcro closure, but the sash is just tied together with the loose ends hanging like a men's tie. The belt and sash are removed, and his shirt and pants are partly opened to show his back. On his lower back is stamped his edition number and size: #1145 of 6000. He has dark blue painted on underpants, matching the color of his pants. His rolled up sleeves are sewn in that position, and has considerable fraying from the inside of the cuffs. It should be easy to free the cuffs, and roll down the sleeves. However, they don't look like they are full length, and would stop short of his wrists. His shirt and pants are then closed up. His sash and belt are placed next to him. Then his sash and belt are put back on. I had considerable difficulty redoing the sash tie so the ends would hang as nicely as before.
Deboxing my Limited Edition Ariel and Eric Doll Set, #1145 of 6000. They are in their display case, with the clear acrylic cover removed. They are attached to the cardboard backing and plastic spacer, and also supported by the built in doll stands. Then the backing is opened by cutting the tape holding the sides together.
Then the dolls are removed from the backing, but are still attached to the plastic spacer, and to the doll stand. Ariel's skirt is also tacked to the cardboard at the base of the stand. Next the backing is cut off from the base, so that we are able to view the dolls from all angles. The backing stored with the acrylic cover. Then the spacer is removed from the dolls. It is necessary to cut the plastic ties that attach the back of Ariel's head to the spacer. After the spacer is removed, the dolls are still attached to the doll stand by wires.
I just received my second Ariel and Eric Doll set, that I ordered online last Wednesday, October 16, 2013. It is #1145 of 6000. At first look, my new set looks almost perfect, with a Ariel in a better pose, her eyelashes more even, and the collar neater than in my #12 pre-ordered set. It almost seems a shame to debox the dolls, rather leaving them as is, but I need to free them from all the packing material, so they can be posed with other dolls, and when reboxed, be able to be viewed from all angles. Photographed boxed, during deboxed, and fully deboxed using built-in camera flash.

Designer Fairytale Belle has been fully deboxed, and is posed standing alone, supported by the built in doll stand in the display case. As the sunlight was dim, flash was used in all these photos. Her long side curls got in the way of photographing her face closeup from the side, so I draped them over her shoulders for some of those shots.
First look at my Belle and the Beast Doll Set, part of the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. Purchased from my local Disney Store through the raffle process on release day, October 1, 2013. There were 28 doll sets available, and easily three times that many people who entered. I was very lucky in that I was the next to last person to be chosen.

The display LE Aurora doll on the register counter, in front of me.
Pre-ordering the Limited Editon Aurora 17'' Doll and the Diamond Edition Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray/DVD at the Disney Store, on July 28, 2014.
I got to the store at 7:30 am. At 7:40 am three more collectors showed up, who were all collectors that I knew from previous LE doll releases at the same store. We got a sneak peek at the LE Aurora about an hour before the store opened. At about 9:30 am one more person showed up, who was getting the doll for his wife. Then right before store opening at 10 am, a woman showed up who was looking for Frozen items, and didn't know anything about LE Aurora. It turns out the store had 16 dolls, so the five of us could have ordered three each if there wasn't a limit of one per guest.
The manager let me take photos of the display sample LE Aurora as she was ringing me up for the doll and Diamond Edition DVD pre-orders. There was a snafu with the computer system, so no vouchers were printed, so she said the receipts would be good enough when it came time to pick them up on Oct 7. They changed the voucher holders to just cards instead of folders, so they just stapled the receipts to the cards. There was also no longer any discount coupon on the DVD voucher card.
The doll herself was gorgeous. The more outstanding thing about her, and which doesn't come out in photos very well, is the magical golden sparkle in the hair made by the golden tinsel. The tinsel consists of very thin transparent threads with tiny golden beads embedded. She looked as though she had gold dust sprinkled throughout her head. The gold thread in her outfit also sparkled in the light.
They had some Art of Aurora items for sale, and also some of the other newly released Sleeping Beauty merchandise. I didn't buy any of them, as I had already bought what I wanted online, for now.
