Deboxing my Belle and the Beast Doll Set. First the illustrated slip cover is slid off the display case, revealing the dolls inside a clear acrylic enclosure. They are secured to the built in doll stands and the cardboard backing and plastic spacers by wires, rubber bands and plastic tabs. Then the clear acrylic cover is lifted off the base. In this case I had considerable difficulty freeing the cover from the base. The tabs under the base wouldn't let go of the cover, no matter what I did, until I turned the box upside down and fiddled with the tabs while I jiggled the cover. In the process Belle's hair got a bit messy, but her hair wasn't that neat to begin with, so i smoothed it a bit before taking photos of the set uncovered.
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.

Her dress is closed up and she is now fully deboxed. The Beast is placed next to her. They are both now fully deboxed. Belle is placed back on the display stand, then the Beast, in the same positions that they were in. Then the Beast's doll stand is turned 90 degrees, so he is facing the same direction as Belle. I also place his hand on Belle's waist.
Now it's Belle's turn to be deboxed. There are tiny plastic tabs pinning her dress to the bottom
backing. Once her dress is freed, there are wires holding her legs to the doll stand, tissue paper wrapped around her legs and . One of her gloves is pinned to her dress, and her hair is wrapped with rubber bands, keeping it close to her neck. The wires are removed, and she is freed from the doll stand, and laid down on a counter to continue the deboxing. Her skirt is raised and the tissue paper removed from around her legs. Her dress is opened in the back to make removing the wire around her waist easier. She has no stamped numbers on her back, where they usually are for LE dolls.
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. The Beast is the first to be removed. Once the wires tying him to the doll stand, and the rubber band tying him to Belle's arm are removed, the Beast is freed from the stand, which is clamped to his waist. He is placed on the counter to inspect him. There are no further fasteners to remove, except that I chose to leave the jacket sewn to the front of the shirt. He is now fully deboxed.
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.

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
Dans l’architecture civile, on peut considérer que le pas décisif sur la voie de l’italianisme fut franchi à Gaillon. Le cardinal d’Amboise commença en 1502 la reconstruction du château de Gaillon, presque achevé à sa mort en 1510. Les premières ailes, bâties entre 1502 et 1508, adoptent encore le style flamboyant, sans grande trace de renouvellement ; la dernière année cependant, des ouvriers étrangers commencèrent à arriver et un changement de style se manifeste. Parmi les premiers artistes, il y avait un sculpteur génois, appelé dans les textes Bertrand de Meynal. En 1508, il apporta de Gênes à Gaillon la grande fontaine commandée à Pace Gaggini et à Antonio della Porta. Dans la même année un autre italien, appelé dans les comptes Girolamo Pacchiarotti, sculpta l’encadrement du saint Georges de Michel Colombe (actuellement au Louvre), retable de la chapelle qu’Andréa Solario décora de fresques où figurait notamment les portraits du cardinal et de sa famille. Comme à Fécamp, cette première phase : l’importation d’œuvres italiennes, fut le prélude à l’installation sur le chantier de sculpteurs ultramontains travaillant aux maçonneries : dans les parties du château construites à partir de 1508, apparaît une ornementation italienne. On remarquera surtout le pavillon d’entrée dont le décor date probablement de 1508. S’il adopte encore la forme d’une entrée fortifiée d’un château médiéval, les éléments décoratifs sont italiens : pilastres lombards, frises à grotesques et frontons à coquilles au sommet des fenêtres. La disposition des ornements suit toutefois les règles gothiques : ainsi les fenêtres des trois niveaux sont liées les uns aux autres par des pilastres qui les flanquent, formant des bandes verticales semblables, par exemple à celles du château flamboyant de Josselin. Les fenêtres possèdent encore des meneaux : l’usage il est vrai n’en fut abandonné par les Français que bien des années plus tard. A l’intérieur le château reçu une décoration du même style, comme on peut en juger par les stalles de la chapelle, aujourd’hui conservées à Saint-Denis, ornées de délicates sculptures à grotesques. Le château fut aussi entouré de jardins, probablement réalisés par les artistes italiens qui travaillèrent à Amboise et à Blois.

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.
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.

Rapunzel and Flynn (September 3-4, #12 of 6000)
Jasmine and Aladdin (September 17-18, #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.

Nach dem Tod des Königs wurde die Wilhelma für die Bürger geöffnet, mit der Auflösung des württembergischen Hofes 1919 ging sie in Staatsbesitz über und die ersten Tiere kamen in die Wilhelma.

My Rapunzel dolls. And one of them is the 1st editon Rapunzel with 17 inch long tinsel hair.
But my favorite one is the brown short hair wedding Rapunzel.
I ended up parking behind this today, and didn't initially bother to snap it, however when returning to the car I thought don't be daft, snap it as there is nothing to lose. It's now 14 years old and it was almost certainly not designed to last so long - plus it's a "Zaap!" special editon and the car looks unusually tidy for it's age, regardless of it's significance.

The Tiana and Naveen Disney Fairytale Designer Doll Set. The dolls are fully deboxed, and are standing side by side. Naveen is free standing. Tiana is supported by a Kaiser doll stand.
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.

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.

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.
Peugeot was jarenlang verbonden met het Franse tennistoernooi Roland Garros en bracht talloze 'special editions' uit, vaak in de kenmerkende groene kleur. De 205 was het eerste model met Roland Garros badge. Naam van de kleur: Tie Break Green. Dat dit exemplaar op oud-Italiaans kenteken (uit Milaan) staat én in een Zaanse woonwijk geparkeerd is, maakt het tafereel nog net wat specialer.

Peugeot was associated with the French tennis tournament Roland Garros for many years and released numerous special editons, often in the characteristic green color. The 205 was the first model with a Roland Garros badge. Color name: Tie Break Green. The fact that this one has an old Italian license plate (from Milan) and is parked in a Zaan (Zaanse) residential area makes the scene even more special.

The Tiana and Naveen Disney Fairytale Designer Doll Set. The dolls are fully deboxed, and are standing side by side. Naveen is free standing. Tiana is supported by a Kaiser doll stand.
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.

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.

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.

My Designer Zarina Doll has been fully deboxed, and put back on the display stand. The slip cover and acrylic lid of the case have been removed, and the cardboard backing has been cut off the base, so we have a clear view of the doll from all angles.
Even though she is listed as 11'' H, she actually stands 11 1/2'' high on the display stand, the same as previous Disney Designer Princess dolls. She also has the same body construction as the original Designer Princess dolls, with ball jointed neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hip joints. She has rubber legs with internal hinge knee jointed knees, and fixed angled feet. She has the same face mold as the Classic Zarina doll and has a very similar look. The biggest difference between them is the shine, pearly textured skin on her face and body. Her face is shinier than the rest of her body.
Her outfit is based on that of her movie character in The Pirate Fairy, and with details in the product description below. Her navy blue coat is made to look like part of the sleeve of a British Royal Navy officer (the insignia is that of a Lieutenant). Her fairy wings are a single piece of transparent plastic that is tinted pale orange, and is iridescent. It looks like a butterfly with its wings slightly folded. It is sewn to the back of her coat. Her sword is secured to her right hand by a piece of clear plastic and a rubber band, that I left as it was done by the factory. It allows the sword to held at an angle, or straight, and hold the pose.
Her hair is similar in color and style to Classic Merida, even though the movie character has much straighter hair. It has a good bit of hair product to set the curls, which makes them stiff, but the rest of her hair (on the top of her head) is smooth and soft. She has long curvy eyelashes, with antennae-like longer lashes on the outside corners of her eyes. She has thin red lips in a smirk. She has a swashbuckling attitude, and is a very beautiful and impressive looking doll.

First look at my Zarina 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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
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.

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.

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.
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 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.
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 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.

Designer Fairytale Beast has been fully deboxed, and is posed free standing alone. He has a custom body, but has the same level of articulation as the Disney Prince dolls. He is very stable free standing on his large flat feet. As the sunlight was dim, flash was used in most of these photos.
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.

Deboxing my Belle and the Beast Doll Set. First the illustrated slip cover is slid off the display case, revealing the dolls inside a clear acrylic enclosure. They are secured to the built in doll stands and the cardboard backing and plastic spacers by wires, rubber bands and plastic tabs. Then the clear acrylic cover is lifted off the base. In this case I had considerable difficulty freeing the cover from the base. The tabs under the base wouldn't let go of the cover, no matter what I did, until I turned the box upside down and fiddled with the tabs while I jiggled the cover. In the process Belle's hair got a bit messy, but her hair wasn't that neat to begin with, so i smoothed it a bit before taking photos of the set uncovered.

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.
