Limited editon Mini #Ringdoll,http://www.ringdoll.com/goods.php?id=607.Gift for Event(2016.02.01-2016.02.28).
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!:)
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.
A sample of the new Nonesuch Garden box arrived this morning! It’s PERFECT! I’m so happy!
There is one week left to go to get my project funded. Kickstarter is all-or-nothing so if I don’t reach my goal, I get nothing and no one gets to enjoy the new box or awesome rewards. If you could help get the word out to your social networks, I would be so so grateful!
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has helped out so far! This has been an amazing experience and I’m so excited to see this project through. I can’t thank you enough for your support. It means so much to me!

For the last few days our local Hobbys (or Merlins!) have been having a loud 'aerial altercation' with the crows who recently arrived here. I'm not sure who is the aggressor.
Italian director Lucio Fulci is best known for such horrors as "The House by the Cemetery," "The Beyond," "Zombie," "City of the Living Dead," "The Psychic," "The New York Ripper," and other stomach churning masterpieces..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
This J-38, manufactured by LIONEL TRAIN Co during the common factory "repurposing" of WW2. It was in very, very sorry looking condition before restoration but all the parts were there, most importantly. Restored using dental lab equipment at work. Iron & Brass ultrasonically cleaned and high polished. Iron pits rubber-wheeled first. Metal Center Hub sand blasted and painted semi-gloss black. All metal/brass varnished with q-tip applicator. Bakelite was water and compound ragwheel polished on denture polishing machine Under key: Two-decade-old 13th editon of the Radio Amateur's World Atlas. WW2 pilots used an upper leg clip on version to send morse code while flying. And you have trouble driving with your cell phone.

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.

Jasmine and Aladdin are now fully deboxed, and are lying side by side on a counter.
Jasmine has been removed from the doll stand, and is placed on a counter to continue the deboxing process. Some small fasteners are removed from her sheer skirt, and her hands are untied, and the flower freed from her hands. Then the flower is replaced on her hand. Her hair is also tidied up a bit by snipping off some stray hairs, and evening the end of her ponytail. Aladdin's hand in her hair messed up the first section of her ponytail, but I decided not to try to fix it up. Notice that there are no markings on her lower back showing her edition number or size, unlike Aladdin. She is now fully deboxed.
Now it's Jasmine's turn to be deboxed. There are wires holding her legs to the doll stand, and tiny plastic tabs pinning her dress to the bottom backing. Her hands are also tied together with rubber bands, as is the flower. Raising her skirt to undo the ties around her legs, we see her golden curvy toed shoes. They are a flat dark gold color, as are her earrings.
Aladdin is laid face down on a counter to continue the deboxing process. The only thing left to do is the remove the wire from around his waist. His shirt is opened in the back to make removing the wire easier. I discover that his belt is a separate piece, fastened in the back with Velcro, and the cape is removable on his left shoulder, but it is sewn to the right shoulder of his shirt. There are manufacturer's markings on his lower back, including his edition number and size (#899 of 6000), which matches his Certificate of Authenticity. After the wire is removed, his shirt and belt are closed up again, but his cape is kept over his head. His cape is then place down, over his back. I remove the plastic tabs fastening his hat to his head, then replace the hat on his head. The hat goes on his head rather loosely, so it is prone to falling off if he isn't in the upright position. He is now fully deboxed.
The plastic spacer is then removed from the backs of the two dolls. The next step is to
free the dolls from the built in doll stands. Aladdin is the first to be removed. There are wires around his legs, securing him to the doll stand and a small spacer. His hands are freed from Jasmines by cutting some rubber bands. I accidentally snipped the tip of one of Jasmine's fingers off. Oops!
The cardboard backing has been cut open to reveal the ends of the various fasteners used to secure the dolls and plastic spacers to the backing. Then the large spacer is freed from the backing, and the backing is laid down flat, revealing the backs of the dolls, who are still attached to the spacer, the doll stands, and the bottom of the backing. Next the backing is cut off from the base of the display stand. The bottom of the backing is still stuck to the base with double stick tape. The backing, with the Certificate of Authenticity attached, is put away inside of the acrylic top of the case, which is then placed in the original shipping carton.
The slipcover has been taken off, to reveal the dolls inside the display case. The dolls can be seen from three sides and the top of the clear acrylic case. The base of the case is gold filigree pattern over black, with a golden nameplate in front. The cardboard backing secures the dolls in their factory poses, and contains the Certificate of Authenticity. Then the acrylic cover is taken off, so the dolls are now in clear view.

Ariel and Eric are now both fully deboxed. They are laid down side by side.
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.

The Limited Edition Ariel and Eric Doll Set, #12 of 6000, in their display case, with the clear acrylic cover removed. None of the factory restraints have been removed, but I have cleaned up Ariel's face a bit, and cut off a loose thread from her blouse. Photographed using built-in camera flash.
My pre-ordered Ariel and Eric Doll Set, from the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. It arrived on October 15, 2013, and I was thrilled to see that they are numbered #012 of 6000! It matches the number of the other doll sets in the pre-order, except that Snow White and the Prince is #4508 of 6000. There are some slight scratches on the gold nameplate and on the acrylic cover of the display case, but they are very minor, and don't diminish the look of the set. Ariel's head is posed a bit awkwardly, but I'll see if I can adjust it a bit without undoing any of the shipping restraints. There is also a loose thread hanging from the left sleeve of Ariel's blouse. Otherwise, Ariel and Eric look very beautiful, and in perfect shape. I'm so happy that I have them after failing to get them in the in-store raffle earlier in the day.
I'm not going to debox the dolls in this set, but I am going to take photos of it boxed, with the cover sleeve off, and with the clear acrylic cover off, to show off the dolls as much as possible without actually removing them from their factory restraints.

Ariel and Eric (October 15-16, #12 of 6000)
I pre-ordered the full complete collection at the D23 Expo on August 9, 2013, and received it today, October 15, 2013.
All the dolls but Snow White have are numbered 12 of 6000! This is by far the lowest LE number that I have ever gotten. Plus 12 is a very cool number on its own, and is also exactly 1/500 of the edition size. Snow White is numbered 4508 of 6000.

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.
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.

Naveen has been deboxed, and it is Tiana's turn. Her dress is untacked from the cardboard backing at the base of the display stand. The next step is to free her from the doll stand. Raising her skirt, you can see that she has tissue paper wrapped around her legs, and wires around her ankles and knees. You can also see the tulle petticoat, and her 2012 style legs. She is wearing dark olive green flats. Tiana has been freed from the doll stand, and is laid down on a counter.
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. Next the backing is cut open, so that the dolls can be released from the backing. Then the dolls are freed from the backing, but are still attached to the display stand and plastic spacer. Then the dolls are freed from the spacer. The hardest part, as usual, was freeing Tiana's head from the spacer, by cutting the tiny plastic tabs embedded in the back of her head. The dolls are still attached to the doll stand. Tiana's dress is also pinned to the cardboard backing at the base of the display stand. Photographed in daylight.
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.
