Thanks for watching! Please let me know what you think of the dolls in the comments!
I thought Aurora was Rapunzel at first 😅 And her gladiator heels? Make it make sense. They’re doing our girls dirty.
yeah me too! 😅 I just saw it online and thought - wow Rapunzel looks awful haha..
@@NeroMerrii It’s the purples and floral motif I think!! It also feels kimono inspired, which doesn’t make sense for EITHER character tbh
I thought she was a white Mulan to start with haha
Me too, immediately thought it was Rapunzul.
Yeah where is her fringe?
I think an Aurora doll of this kind should go full Medieval.
Sleeping Beauty had beautiful art direction that was never replicated again and part of the beauty was that it went for a more authentic Medieval aesthetic. No designer Aurora doll has ever reflected that and it's such a missed opportunity.
a collection of dolls inspired by the place of origin of each story and its historical period would be incredible, for example Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are inspired by the French version of the story so they could use the 17th century for one and the Middle Ages for Aurora.
Omg I couldn't agree moreeeee I thought I was the only one thinking they are always missing the mark with Aurora, it hurts even more cause she's my favorite, I would totally die for a medieval Aurora, especially with those gothic elements they use in the film!
@@chloeadaline9349 Aurora is probably the princess they dissed more in all the lineup lol, the proportions she had in the movie have never been replicated in a doll, they all tend to have big heads (which works for Jasmine or Belle but less for the more proportionate older princesses like Aurora, or Pocahontas), and fashion-wise all of the redesigns have always been generic, they re-use the changing color dress idea over and over again, without ever drawing inspiration from the movie which is, objectively speaking, breath-taking in its art design.
@@jonahflores8cinco why 17th century specifically? Cinderella is set in the late 1800s
@@Naharu.by place of origin they mean the literal setting and time period in which the story was created. So Sleeping Beauty was a medieval fairytale first appearing around the 14th century while the version of Cinderella Disney based the movie from was written by Charles Perrault in the late 17th century. A line of dolls based off their in-story setting would be interesting, but princesses like Ariel and Jasmine live in very factionalized settings based off of many different places and cultures, making it easier to base the designs off the original stories.
I love the Snow white doll - She looks like she just murdered the evil queen and raided her closet. Love it!
I agree that a lot of these dolls didn't look like the princesses they were supposed to be. The only one I loved and bought was Mulan. She is very beautiful and I think her design showcases her very well.
I bought Mulan too ! I would never except to see a Disney Princess doll in a black outfit and it's just so BADASS on Mulan ! She's clearly the Baddiest. (I need Merida too... she's fierce !)
Yea I have Mulan and Snow White I do love the color scheme of Mulan what color did you want her to be Beauty in a box? Like Pink and green? Because those are the colors she did wear.... I love the Snow White doll which I also own I feel that was what she was wearing when she became the Queen!
The wings on the Moana doll are actually a manta ray for her grandma!
Just because it's symbolic doesn't mean it looks good. It looks awful.
@@allie_Am that’s not what I said though. I just said that’s the symbolism, I didn’t say it looked good.
I think they look great she’s one of my favorites from this. Not all are good, but she’s one of the better ones
I thought it was a surfboard
@@baha6743
😂😂😂
Fun fact: My parents bought me the Belle doll for my birthday, but when we opened the box, they had sent us Aurora. I guess the fact that it says "Briar Rose" threw them off.
I think the reason they are not selling is because of the price. Prices are going up all around the world for everything from gas to grocerys, so I don't think a lot people are willing to spend too much money on things like dolls. I do like the collection, if I had the money would buy them.
I totally agree with you....they are a fresh new perspective from the repetitive designs we all know and collectors already own. I do not understand the controversy.
Also, they made a lot more of them than usual, so there was little rush to get them and the reseller market is limited. However, price is also a factor, especially for people in countries like Canada that have to pay extra shipping and a nasty UPS customs processing fee like the one I got hit with ($60 CAD).
Not only, they are straight up ugly except for maybe 4 dolls at best.
Mulan looks badass. She’s only one I 100% like in this line. Love the serious face she’s making paired with the outfit, and the dark color scheme. Yes, the outfit choice and colors are not accurate to the film but I still like and could see Mulan wearing it.
i also like the little details that are similar to things we see in the film like the gold thing on her belt looks like the stone dragon head and she has her hair comb. i just noticed that she has dragons on her shoes.😮 i like how her hair is half in a bun and half down like its showing both sides of her.
These dolls remind me of group presentations in school where everyone made a different slide with no communication and we had to try to make it look cohesive 5 mins before class started
OMG I can relate to that so SO much. 😂😂😂
More like making it cohesive at the start of the presentation 😅
The first Ariiel doll reminds me of the Born of Venus painting, the fabric on her back resembles the clamshell , the color of the dress also is like the clam, she has a lot of pearls and the blue tulle part of her skirt is like the waves , and maybe the wings on her head represent the angel's wings from that painting
she reminded me of a flapper tbh but knowing what you said that makes more sense lol
@@ripley528 yeah I actually like that doll, she looks pretty ethereal.
disney: so what do you plan to do with Ariel?
designer: I was thinking of something inspired by the birth of Venus, coming our of her clamshell just like the goddess of beauty!! the shirt will be the waves, she will have wings to represent the angels that come and greet her, with pearls everywhere, and her dress will be of a beautiful nude color, representing Venuses rose skin!!
Disney:......you know this is for an Ariel doll, right??
i think that the “wings” on her face are supposed to look like fins of a fish
I’m in the minority but I loved these dolls. I love when Disney tries different things with the princesses, how many times do we need to see Cinderella in her silver gown and Belle in her yellow one? These characters are going to be here for a LOOONG time it’s nice when they take liberties with them.
As someone who likes Greek mythology I quite like the elements you dislike of the Ariel doll. She's giving Aphrodite being born from the clam shell vibes
I got the Cinderella doll. I love the pantsuit look. She reminded me of Doris Day.
She's inspired by Grace Kelly.
I think the Ariel one looks so majestic
I actually really love the Ariel doll. To me they're more of a reimagined version of them, an alternate universe in a way
She reminds me of Sirens from Greek Mythology
My partner walked into the room as the Aurora doll came up and literally made a face - "is that supposed to be Aurora??"
I was so excited for the extra dolls like you mentioned just to find they were padding out the additional spots with more of the same usual princesses.
that threw me off too! in the end the only "unusual" ones were Moana and Merida? And we got two Ariels because we definitely need more of those...🙄
I love Ariel but considering that the first doll was not really liked it is quite shocking that they did Ariel doll again. Do you think she will sell out instantly or it will be the same story as with the first one?
I’ve only seen a couple of these in other videos, so I like seeing this comprehensive presentation of them.
Some dolls probably aren't selling as good because of the increased cost of living and interest. If you get a morgage in canada 2 years ago the same one say the house is 600k and you put down 140k for 20 or 25 years is something like 2000k a month bow it's like 3100k a month. In 2 years it's alot. Just to put it into perspective.
Yes, that is a factor, especially when they made a large edition size for the dolls. There are many people who are wealthy, but a large edition size has to be affordable to a more general audience, and the middle class are getting hit hard now.
The Tiana reminds me of “The Charleston” by Bob Mackie so much ❤
I'm just impressed that you used the term "fascinator"! Well done, you!
I am glad they did not sell and people did not like them because... I bought Pocahontas yesterday in the Disney store very reduced. She is amazingly beautiful. I absolutely love her and her "antique" Goddess vibe. I am not a Disney collector and I don't mind if the dolls are not "movie accurate". Very delighted with this gorgeous doll. She is also a great bargain.
Oooh I love Snow White's design here. Maybe because I am not a huge Snow White fan, so the fact she wouldn't actually wear it is fine with me. It's so dramatic and royal! Love it.
I actually really liked this doll line! I personally got Mulan (I visited the Disney Store in Paris and she was half off so I couldn't leave her behind) and Moana (she was half off and got an extra 25% off because of some sale on the EU website). I'd love to get Cinderella as well as I think she's stunning but she has yet to go on sale as I don't feel like these dolls are worth full price (almost no LE doll is imo). But the designs are beautiful and I love how much liberty they were able to take as it can get quite boring to always see the same dress or outfit on these characters. I really really hope we get Encanto LE dolls as well because that would be absolutely amazing
Yes me too! I've been grabbing them when I can for half price. They are a bit over the top, but I'm a big fan of the designs :)
I just really want Disney to continue to make the princesses doll collection based on the year that their films were released 🥺🙏🏻
Mulan, Merida and the 2nd Tiana were the only ones who felt like true Disney Designer dolls to me, and Mulan was the only one I decided to get out of the entire collection. They're both one of the few that incoroporated the characters personality, elements of their movie and was just straight up gorgeous. When talking about this line though we need to remember they increased the edition size MASSIVELY, which is great for accesability. Some dolls having nearly 10,000 made of them where as most designer dolls in the past are 5,000 or below. So while it seems like a "flop" to the public because they're on clearance, they have more than double of them to sell, as well as 15 characters vs the usual 5 on average in a designer line, so it was expected they wouldn't sell out. Some of the sketches and concept art the designers made are just beautiful, but that just doesn't translate into the reality of a doll, which I think a lot of the dolls suffered from. I appreciate them being bold and taking some risks, but this line was not to my tastes personally. I dont think theres a problem with the designer collection in general, the Masquerade line and the Premiere line were both gorgeous, but this specific collection was too ambitious. I hope they realise there's still a lot of potential with the designer dolls when its done correctly.
I bought the Mulan doll. She’s stunning in person. I was going to buy another one last week but saw the 10th anniversary Merida doll and bought her instead. She’s beautiful ❤
I'm kind of 50/50 with this line. I think there were designers who totally captured the essence of the characters, and others who had no idea what princess they were designing. Added to this, the Disney Store manufactured around ten thousand copies per princess; which is a lot (although it is understandable, since the physical stores of the Disney Store closed in the US). That being said, I think there are dolls in this line that are very worthwhile, as they have characteristic elements from their movies that any fan can recognize. Based on this, here is my ranking from best to worst.
First, this is the list of dolls I would absolutely buy:
1.Mulan. - The embroidery on the sleeves and pants with Mushu, mountains and cherry blossoms is beautiful. Also, I love that she has her iconic comb, the fact that she is wearing pants, and her badass expression.
2.Tiana (second version). - A simply beautiful outfit, very 20's style with Evangeline on her back.
3.Aurora. - The embroidery with the roses, the fairies and the crown is divine. Also, I love the stained glass skirt with the spinning wheel, and the Disneyland castle. The only thing this doll is missing is her iconic crown and a belt.
4.Pocahontas.- I bought this doll and I love it. She looks like a forest goddess. She is made with high quality materials, her face is beautiful, and she has gold embroidered "colors of the wind" leaves. Also, I love the metallic charms of Meeko, Flit and the compass on her belt. However, I customized her a bit, so she could wear her mother's necklace. Now, she is perfect.
5.Merida.- The kilt, the fur-embroidered bear claw, the boots, her bow, her warrior armor and her hairstyle make her gorgeous.
6.Snow White.- I love her cape, her belt and the ivory color of her dress.
7.Cinderella.- Such an elegant doll! I love the metallic little birds and her bag with the midnight clock.
8.Jasmine.- I like her hairstyle, the embroidery on her dress and that her outfit resembles the red outfit she wore in the movie.
9.Ariel (second version). - The doll is cute, but very simple. So simple, that at first glance she looks like a Hasbro Designer Series doll. But I appreciate the embroidery and the fact that her dress is a representation of the purple dress that she wore at the end of her movie.
From here on, I would not buy these dolls:
10.- Tiana (first version). - Her dress is pretty. But, with that hairstyle, she looks more like a Diana Ross doll than a Tiana doll.
11. Moana. - The doll is simple, but I like her headdress in her hair. At first, I thought she was carrying a surfboard on her back, but now I see that it's a reference to her grandmother turned into a manta ray.
12.Belle. - I like her skirt with the rose petals, but that hairstyle and those earrings are a big no for me.
13. Briar Rose. - She looks like a supermodel and her shoes are very pretty, but I agree that her outfit has nothing to do with her movie.
14.Rapunzel. - I just didn't like this doll at all. I can't imagine a free spirit like Rapunzel wearing such a silly dress. It looks like a bad version of Alice in Wonderland trying to play cricket with the queen.
15.Ariel (first version). - This doll has everything wrong: the painted baby hairs are hideous, the wings in her hair are horrible, the wheel on her back is so out of place, and the sheer skirt over the short skirt looks like something you could buy on Aliexpress. In general, Ariel looks like she is dressed for a carnival in Rio.
That's my opinion, and sorry for the long text. Great video!
I agree the 2nd Tiana is lovely and references the time period of the movie beautifully. My favorite would be Merida, except for the hair - love the outfit, love the face, but that hairstyle - ugh! However, Disney's new 17-inch Merida collector doll for Brave's10th anniversary is gorgeous and one of the best I've seen,
If I saw these unboxed, displayed on a shelf in some collectors home, I would not even think they are Disney Princesses at all unless they told me.
If I’m being completely honest at first I though “maybe he’s just a tad dramatic” because how bad could the dolls truly be? Then you showed them…. I completely agree with you on everything 😭 they truly do not look like Disney dolls. Some of them could have been SO GOOD with some minor tweaking 🥺
Merida is by far my favorite and the one I wish I could afford. Her dress fits her so well with the tartan print, the armor pieces and the arrow motif. The face is super cute and looks a lot like her - some of the other princesses look a bit too old and harsh for me. The colors are lovely as well and the details make sense, they don't look forced just to increase the price. Sadly, I can't afford a 130,00 EUR doll, but she's amazing.
Totally agree with you! If they intend on taking our hard-earned money they better make darn sure it's worth it! I don't mind paying more for something as long as I'm getting a top-notch product.
The first Ariel in pink actually used the Belle headmold which was definitely a choice....
Really like Ariel, indeed because it gave me greek goddess vibes (kinda want that bag for myself!). Also quite like Mulan and Merida! The rest though...
I think that Merida doll is THER BEST, totally understood the assignment, I love the attention to details but more specifically that it looks like something Merida could wear while sticking close to the colors and aesthetic of the film and character. A+
Here are my thoughts on the dolls outfits. I would redesign Ariel so the blue fabric and the back piece were gold, Aurora's outfit can make a nice yukata (although she's French, the yukata still would look nice at her), Belle I would get rid of the underskirt. Mulan I like how she is. Rapunzel's flower on head I hate, I would prefer small flowers in hair. I would like Aurora with her crown rather than on her chest. Merida is ok. The last 2 I actually love as well. I'm not a designer, I'm a cosplayer and I just wanted to share my opinions on them.
I totally agree these dolls needed more of an editorial team to keep them cohesive and to make each doll took balanced bc the elements are all not balanced
The wings on Moana is the ray that represents her grandma. The gold thing on Aurora's chest is her crown.
I have one of these dolls, there are £120 but I got mine on for half price. I have the Snow White doll and she is the only collector's doll I have. Didn't love all of the dolls, but I love Snow White. I like Moana's and both of Tiana's but I found myself either hating the rest or they were just meh. I can agree with the collar but it is not a puffy in person. I believe Snow white's dress is inspired by her scrapped wedding dress.
I really enjoyed this series tbh, especially when the designers explained their inspirations, Pocahontas for example.
With Snow White, I think they took inspiration from her Prince's outfit (that's why the oversized crown is there). The bodice reads very doublet-like.
Also super disappointed with this line. I remember being incredibly excited at the announcement of the line and the fact that ShopDisney was collaborating with supposed Disney fans and doll enthusiasts for the designs. But every time the dolls would leak it would be dud after dud. I also don’t expect these dolls to look exactly like their film counterparts, but like you I feel that so many of these characters fail to reflect their character personalities and film aesthetics in a way that makes them unrecognizable. I’ve also always found that the designer line had issues of capturing their heroines’ likenesses - their heads are just too big and oftentimes way too long lol. Only the 3D animated characters should have such large heads, but that’s just my opinion. But objectively this was one of the least succesful collector lines so far that I wonder how ShopDisney will approach the designer line in the future. I suspect they will never do the individual designer collaborations after this. In retrospect the doll line is clearly just tributes to the characters, but I just don’t know if most collectors want to invest in this level of looseness with characters they love.
I actually love the wings on Ariel. I feel like they’re meant to represent the original tale in which she practically turned into an angel. And while yes, they do remind me of Roman and Greek mythology too, it does make sense since allegedly in the original movie she’s depicted as either Greek or Italian. Her father and sisters and mother all have Greek names, Eric’s palace is very reminiscent of an Italian one in the interior and a Greek one from the exterior. Triton was Poseidon’s son in Greek mythology too.
So I have no problem with the wings. What I do have a problem with are those pearls that come down, those are seriously, just- no…
Tiana is also great I feel. The dress is clearly inspired by the white dress she wears in ‘Almost There’ and it actually dies feel like a modern reimagining of 1920’s fashion. Had to research it for school so, yeah I think it actually fits.
Moana’s wings are also actually a callback to her grandmother, whose spirit takes the form of a ray.
REALLY disappointed in Rapunzel. They missed the chance to make a dress that’s entirely painted on in her signature watercolour style.
Ariel's dress is inspired by Kylie Minogue's Birth of Venus look from her concert tour. Bod the Drag Queen wore what Tiana's dress is SUPPOSED to look like in November 2021. It's a stunning dress! It's not the felt strip that Tiana's dress got!
I also felt super underwhelmed by this latest collection, I remember being so happy and excited when they first got released and then seeing them and thinking "...nevermind." I'm still pretty annoyed with the Disney Store leaving Canada for good, it was one thing to pay more just due to the exchange rate but now the thought of having to pay that on top of shipping and duties?? A doll really *really* has to be worth that $200+ tag now
The wings on the Ariel doll are a nod to Scuttle.
Perhaps the Ariel doll has wings and an airy motif as a reference to how the little mermaid becomes a wind spirit in her original story?
I like these dolls but I respect your opinion
I liked this series. I’m gonna say it again. I don’t want twenty Cinderella’s in the same blue dress. This was different and I appreciate it.
I actually love the first Ariel doll (even more than the second Ariel doll) because even though it doesn’t make a lot of sense as far as the original The Little Mermaid movie goes, I actually love Greek Mythology and so I think it evokes The Birth of Venus and mythological mermaids. And since Ariel is my favorite character, that’s actually the doll I would want the most. Especially since it combines two of my favorite things, The Little Mermaid Ariel and Greek Mythology aesthetics. Plus the colors are just stunning to me! 🧜🏻♀️
I also love that last Tiana doll and totally agree that she is the best one! 💚
While I understand that some collectors want their doll collections to have a cohesive look, I like having a more eclectic collection. So I really like this line, as it offers something _really_ different for collectors to add to their collections. If I was a Disney doll collector, I would definitely buy this whole line. Really like how unique each doll has been designed.
I actually really really like these surprisingly!
I think the Mulan and Pocahontas ones look absolutely fabulous! (Although I agree Pocahontas hair shouldn't be tied)
You helped me understand why these dolls never caught my interest: there is just such little connection to the characters they're meant to be. I LOVE that both Mulan's and Merida's looks lean heavily into their warrior selves (something we don't see enough of), but overall, if the assignment was "what Disney princesses would wear on the red carpet in 2023". I think most designers missed the mark (ie, Jasmine only wore red as Jafar's slave, she wore cool tones in every other look, so why would she choose red for her look?).
Also, I love the vocabulary you use in your analysis! It's not often I hear words like "accoutrements" and "ghastly" in CZcams, never change! ❤
the jasmine one looks like a chinese lantern, the shape and the color. its just so random for her and the red being a call back to her slave look- why would we want to think of that?
Actually i did like this collection but I do agree with a lot of points you made. Still these dolls are filled with references which i love thm for; for eg belle has on an hourglass shaped dress under what seems like a glass chamber and falling petals, jasmine is meant to represent a lamp, ariel has wings beacuse of king triton being from greek mythology, but i agree that aurora doesnt make any sense lol and the prices cannot be justified at retail....
I saw a comment that said that Aurora should go full medieval and I agree. That would be awesome to see.
It really is indicative of the line how i couldn't figure out who half of these dolls were supposed to be without you telling me
I seriously love your vidoes. Thank you.
OMG! I totally agree with your ranking and critiques. Well done! Thank you!
I LOVE MY SNOW WHITE DOLL! 6^ I got her for $60 at the Disney store
They need to do a limited edition Aurora doll where she is in the dress Flora made before she got her wand back. 😂
The only one I've bought so far is the first Aurora one. She was my favorite and I actually thought she was pretty. I love how her dress actually has homages to the film on her dress. I am excited for the new Ariel one coming out. It's much better than the first Ariel doll, which I hated. One thing I was disappointed by was how they said they would be releasing 15, so I figured each would a different princess, but the last three were just a remake of three of them.
I almost got all the designer dolls and I ❤️ LOVE LOVE LOVE them. wauu I'm so happy I got them. the background is so beautiful 😍 and every doll is so amazing detaled. its really special to have these amazing art pieces from disney designers.
This doll line was very unique. Many of the dolls look great IMO. I like that all of the dolls have "different" looks and designs...that is the point of a designer line. Every Belle doll does not need to be in a yellow dress if you get my point. Disney increased the quantity of the dolls that they made for this series, which is why they likely haven't been selling out as fast.
I agree with you, I like the Snow White! She looks very innocent and regal at the same time. And my two faves are the same as yours too, they're lovely
I love the second Tiana doll you showed! It's wonderful!
I actually got the newest Ariel doll from this doll line for Christmas and I love her dress and her ponytail is so cute I am so happy to have her.
I've read that the princesses looks in this collection are supposed to be the princesses go to the Met Gala. I agree the 2nd Tiana is the best. I also like Jasmine, 2nd Ariel, Cinderella, Mulan, Snow White and Merida. The only one I really dont like is Pocahontas, they did her so dirty. The 2nd Aurora I think would look better if she was a 17 inch doll. The scale of the doll throws the outfit off because the sketch is gorgeous.
The Mulan doll hurt a lot, the square sleeves are Japanese not Chinese hanfu. It’s the subtle difference between them. But I guess accuracy is the last thing on the designers’ minds seeing the other dolls’ designs 😬
I quite like the crown design on Aurora’s dress or not it’ll seem like a simple dress. The 3 gems are the colors of the 3 fairies.
Just a heads up, a lot of these dolls are currently reduced to £32.99 on shopdisney uk... Agree that most of them aren't worth their original price, but for £33 I'm very tempted to snap some up and give them a bit of a restyle and a much-needed outfit edit!
My guess would be that Aurora is in purple to represent the color blending of pink and blue.
I love the Ariel doll.. I read the wings as a form of her angel wings she would have gotten from her original story ending.
They are cool kinda a she-ra vibe
I'm loving the merida. She's gorgeous 😍
First thought Cinderella was Elsa 😂😂😂
i think your perspective is super interesting, i was always a fan of their design and thought the whole point was not to represent the original character, but to give a modern artist's interpretation time to shine, so i never saw it as a flaw. but i definitely think you have a point, especially after looking at all of them again, so many of them don't really represent the character lmao
I like the Merida doll of this set she’s like a warrior princess
Love your doll flop videos
Definitely an interesting take on this line, I really enjoyed your opinion. I think the problem with this line is that the marketing and the vision of it wasn't clear at all.
My interpretation of it was runway-fashion ready outfits for the princesses. Personally I really enjoyed every single doll from this line, there's a few I prefer more than others but I personally was waiting for a designer line that was so out of the box and not based on the princesses normal outfits. I was bored of seeing over embellished versions of the princesses ball gowns in previous collections. This one, masquerade and premier really hit the mark for Disney designer lines in my opinion.
I would say my favorites are the Sleeping Beauty doll, and the Moana doll. I liked all the dolls, except the face on the first Ariel. I don't have any of them, but I collect Moana dolls, so I'm going to see if I can locate one at a good price.
Can you make a review for Winx Club dolls please
Yes please!!
I really want to see his opinion for the Mattel Winx dolls also the other ones from Giochi Preziosi and Witty Toys
I had Bloom in her human outfit with detached wings of her Belivix for years. I loved her but I thought that the designer could have made 2 outfits 1 their human everyday outfits and the 2nd their fairy outfits with wings! I sadly outgrew the doll and gave her away but still love the show and movies!
@@rubyhay450I have in my collection Bloom, Stella, Flora and Musa by Mattel with so many outfits and wings 🤗 And I think Mattel ones really the best!!! I wish them to make remake with new Winx Club dolls again because the quality of the new ones just sadly sucks! 😢
@@issyg.6174 yes Mattel is the best for doll making sometimes and while I would love to have some more dolls of the Winx or Disney or Barbie (at least the movie dolls) but I don't play with them as noted by the large amount of Barbie dolls I own except for 1 time I played with them with a little girl I babysat for once they haven't been played with since I was teenager like maybe age 16.
You can't see it in this picture, but the wings on Moana's back is a manta ray, because of the manta rays in the movie and her grandmother.
I couldn't remember a CZcamsr's name, so I searched for "Weird doll collector lady" and it sent me here...
They are on sale for £33 right now on shop Disney, they really aren't selling at all. I went on shop Disney uk to get the big snow white in her wedding dress and last night and couldn't believe how cheap these dolls are. That's wild. They put the price up a few weeks ago to £110 because of Christmas and obviously didn't sell do went back down to £55 and now £33.
Top Cinderella and Tiana are amazing! Not a Disney Princess doll fan here, but those two would make me reconsider having them in my collection.
The only ones I want are Merida (sadly, sold out already) and the 2nd Tiana. That Merida doll is spot on for accuracy! And the embroidered details are amazing! The Mulan and Snow White dolls with different clothes would be great, love their faces!
I bought the Mulan one for my Mulan collection and personally I really love it I think she looks great ^__^. I do wish they'd done one for Raya as well though😭
I personally love these Disney dolls and I enjoy the uniqueness and over the topness of them but I I understand everything you’re saying in this video :)
Sorry I can’t edit my other comment for some reason but I wanted to add that I got the Aurora doll for £50 in a sale about 9 months after it was released.
1. aurora - wish it would have been either pink or blue
2. Ariel - didn't like the headpiece
3. Jasmin - don't like the poufy sleeves
4. Pocahontas - don't like the collar
5 Tiana - wish her dress was green and had pearls...
6. Belle - 👍
7. Mulan- gave her a sword instead of a bag
8. Moana, don't like back piece
9. Rapunzel - too poufy for me, don't like giant flower that is on her head, i wish it would have been smaller flowers and her hair in a braid like it was in the movie
10. snow white - very crowded around her neck
11, 12, aurora and Ariel ver 2 - 👍
13. Merida - dont really like the metal shoulder piece + i wish she would have had the bow instead of a bag
14. cinderella - 👍
15 ver 2 Tiana - again i wish it was a little bit more green but very pretty
Hi! I recently discovered your channel and I am loving all your videos!
I wanted to comment on this especially because I felt like you for most of these dolls. However, I ended up getting Jasmine, the first Aurora and the first Ariel. And what got me into them was seeing them in person/other pictures, the stock pictures from Disney Store are AWFUL, so once I saw them under a different light they grew on me.
Anyways, I do agree I would have liked the designs to better resemble the imagenery from the movies or at least the style of the "era" they are based on. Hopefully better outcomes will follow in the future.
Thanks for your content!
I think Tiana was supposed to be inspired by Art Deco, a popular movement in art and design in the 1920s.
the wings on moana are referencing the stingray her grandmother turned into
If I had to pick one doll from this line it would be the Snow White! I love everything about that doll! BTW I think her outfit is partially inspired by her prince.
Love your show❤Merry Christmas and very happy healthy New Year my friend 🎄🎄🎁❤️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like them.
The bottom for me are: 1st Ariel, Briar Rose (2nd sleeping beauty) and Pocahontas
The rest are either meh or adequate (still over priced)
Also, I think the problem was that the dolls don’t really share a theme between each other. The premiere collection had a theme, this one didn’t, so the dolls looks from different collections.
i think the collar on Pocahontas's dress MIGHT be a reference to the portrait of the real historical Pocahontas, so the comment about not thinking it would be something she would wear is really funny to me. still not a very cohesive or appealing dress though. lol
Yea I for last Christmas I got Holiday Rapuznel as a gift and she was on clearance so much better!
The gold thing they put on Sleeping beauty's chest was a reference to her crown...
The two Titania dolls are nice especially the recent one in her 20s look with the short hair. I'm a sucker for a flapper. But she's way too expensive.
Everything you said about Pocahontas, so on point! 👌🏽
