Bullshit D23 Exclusives Edition
>Jasmine (Slave Outfit) LE 500
>Leia LE 300
>Elsa&Hans Designer Villain LE (unknown edition size)
>Once Upon a Time Regina&Snow LE 300
>Designer Minnie LE (unknown edition size)
but thank god all but one of the 37829343 newly announced Frozen dolls have an edition size of over 2000!
Why is this Snow-White brown-skinned ?
It's pant-on-the head retarded.
They should have used Vanessa and not Ursula for the designer doll
>>5100781
They used Ursula so that people would stop complaining about that weird skinny designer Ursula from the villain line
>>5100788
But she already got a 17inch doll in her full fat ass tranny glory.
>>5100815
>fat ass tranny glory.
Those poor unfortunate souls...
Designer Minnie is LE 400.
I feel like Disney finally just shrugged their shoulders and collectively decided to slap collectors in the face at this point. First the LE Jasmine, which should have been just as detailed and promoted as LE Aurora & all the others, is given the shaft in both departments--only for them to turn around and make a much more appropriately detailed red/'slave' Jasmine that's D23 exclusive and LE 500. Now they release doll after doll that's very limited D23 exclusive when normally there's 1 D23 exclusive doll.
But wait! There's more!
LE 400 Talking Buzz
And LE Talking Woody with a terrible derp face. But also both D23 exclusives.
maybe it's just me but the Hasbro Carlos doll looks like an attempt at Peter Pan
>>5100760
>>5101071
>>5101074
>>5101076
Aren't they over saturating the market with all these LE dolls. There are just so many of them. How did they go from one to four characters per year to all this?
>>5101088
They definitely are... and have been for a while but this is reaching new heights of ridiculousness.
The Designer Couples series from last year didn't sell very well. I actually saw a few of them at the Disney Store Outlet at a marked down price last week.
I don't understand why we now have FOUR new Frozen LEs (with only one possibly having a low edition number) when the last batch of LE Frozen dolls did not sell very well, and don't sell for very much on the secondary market. Disney just had to have a shelf-clearing Frozen sale to get the cheaper Classic Frozen dolls off the market.
So why oh why are they releasing all these dolls.
Designer Elsa and Hans: $129.95
Designer Snow White and Hag: $129.95
Designer Ariel and Ursula: $129.95
Designer Rapunzel and Mother Gothel: $129.95
Designer Peter Pan and Hook: $129.95
17″ Aladdin: $119.95
17″ Jafar: $119.95
Designer Anna and Kristoff: $129.95
17″ Frozen Fever Elsa: $119.95
17″ Frozen Fever Anna: $119.95
And that's not including the D33 exclusives.
>>5101082
I think its mostly his eyebrows. If you take them out he looks pretty generic bad-boy.
>he'd actually make a decent rufio custom with a bit of hair resculpting
>>5101254
>he'd actually make a decent rufio custom
My interest just went from zero to Must Have mode.
Welp. There's no chance of anyone outside the event getting Red Jasmine. Someone posted a video of the line to get her, and people have been lined up since 5 pm YESTERDAY.
It'll be another doll that goes for $1000++++ on the secondhand market.
LE Jafar. Looks great except for the bottom half of his outfit...
LE Aladdin
>>5101111
I remember when one fucking doll was $75. WTF happened?
>>5103772
Greed.
Not only were the prices cheaper, the quality was so much higher! Compare Snow White or Rapunzel or Tiana's LE to the recent ones... meh.
>>5103680
Oh God, that face...
It's like he farted and is trying to not look like the one who did it.
>>5103814
Gotta keep
One fart ahead of the breadline
One poot ahead of the sword...
Does anyone else have the Animators Collection toddler dolls? I've been seeing beautiful customs of them lately and kind of want to do something with the ones I have.
>>5103680
Caitlyn Jenner got a doll already?
>>5103814
I know, it's *perfect* for Aladdin.
So who's going to go after some of the Heroes&Villains Designer dolls?
I was tempted to get most of them but after seeig photos of the actual dolls, I'm sticking to Snow White/Hag and Rapunzel/Gothel.
>>5105466
No kidding. Talk about a disappointment. I know I want the Snow White doll since it actually looks good. The others range from could have been worse to are you fucking kidding me tier.
>>5105515
I'm the most disappointed with Ariel. I love her fin but everything else...
>>5105525
why is she wearing an awkward nightie now?
>>5105525
this looks like the poster for an opposites-attract buddy movie.
>>5100815
Somebody just posted this to Flickr.
>>5105515
I absolutely want Rapunzel and Gothel still. Rapunzel/Flynn was sad to me (Flynn looked retarded) but this pair I dig
>>5103680
Is it wrong that I wish this Aladdin was life sized so I could have hot Arabian doll love with him?
>>5105466
Thats a really nice Display but I don't think I'll have the money to collect them all by next month since my life got flipped upside down.
>>5105974
Disney should do this for real one day.
The red Jasmine is so, so much better than the regular LE. fuck disney for that low edition number.
>>5103680
Ah, so we are going back to Action Man 90's giant neck thing which most toy companies discarded long ago. Still finding shit like this in 2015, on a doll that's $100+ no less. Seriously, Disney just fuck off already on this shit.
>TFW no Hercules and Meg
>>5109179
Their male bodies are fucking awful. You can tell the male dolls are pretty much cheap accessories for the princesses.
>>5111904
It also doesn't help that the faces aren't that great either. I was upset that Philip looked bad.
That Fairy tale Naveen looks so fucking terrible. Like... they made him really ugly.
>>5113244
Most of the faces are melty, with eyes just floating around on the flesh colored mass.
Cinderella's prince had a smile like Hannibal Lecter. I dunno if they ever fixed that.
>>5103678
Best one IMO
>>5109112
seeing the level of detail they put into her is giving me buyer's remorse for the teal LE Jasmine. By comparison she's super blah. But no way I can justify spending that $700-1000 secondhand price for her.
>>5119814
I wish I could shell that money for that Jasmine. I recently managed to get an Alice so I'm just saving up for the designer dolls and the Frozen Ever Elsa.
>>5119814
>I know that feel anon
What is your grail doll, /toy/?
>>5105997
>She has regular clamshells in just about every other doll.
Even so they could have done something classy and creative like they did a few years back with the LE Mermaid Ariel dolls bra
>>5126136
Already got her. It cost me way more than just money to get her but I'm very happy I was able to make her part of my world.
>>5119814
>the level of detail they put into her
It hurts so bad man. I didn't even notice the this snack on her arm until today.
>>5126136
Both the Little Mermaid Broadway/Musical dolls. The official one based on the Broadway show, and one that they made to sell at the European shows which were repackaged and sold at a mini-tour in Texas about 2 years ago.
>>5127956
Well who was she? ...Ariel? Was that a Little Mermaid comment?
Disney Store will be releasing a Cinderella live action combo pack. Probably in time for the blu-ray release.
I'm excited about the stepsisters and the new oufit for Lady Tremaine, but bleh bleh bleh at them just using ballgown Cinderella+Prince and the fairy godmother. Why not make a Cinderella in her mother's pink dress, and the prince in an outfit they didn't make before?
>>5133674
They're online at the Disney Store. $210?! What is Disney smoking. That's about $42 per doll. They should have just released a stepsister/mother trio pack.
>>5133674
This stepsister is perfect
>>5134884
>$210
Mother of god. Why?
does anyone know who's behind the "Disney Collection" dolls being sold at JC Penny? No Hasbro or Mattel marker on the box
>>5138347
They're slightly cheaper, crappier versions of the disney store dolls. So Disney or whoever makes them for disney.
>>5138347
>doesn't include the red slave dress.
Thats one less trip to JC Penny for me.
Disney doll people get into some whacky shenanigans, for sure. This is confirmed apparently, one of the people affected runs a disney doll blog.
>>5139025
>ever stealing from The Mouse
Oh shit that nigga is gonna get it bad.
How come people are so interested in the Disney dolls and the Barbie general dosen't lasts?
>>5139025
This shit is getting a little out of hand don't you think?
There just fucking Disney dolls not children.
Disney really should just "let it go". If there security is such shit that they didn't see or notice someone taking not one but a bunch of dolls out of their building maybe they should just cut their losses and up their security. Sending pigs to peoples door steps over a fucking Little Mermaid doll is shameful and low even if they were prototype.
Way to spend our tax dolls Disney.
>Gotta get them dollys back because no one fucks with the Mouse.
>>5140774
When Barbie start to be fashionable again and not douse in pink glittery vomit anymore.
>>5141449
I get your point, but that's a fitting description to Disney's princesses. And it's not like they change clothes that much.
>>5141852
How about when they give Barbie knee joints again.
A $10 disney doll has elbow, wrist, knee, and even ankle joints.
I bought a $20 bedroom Barbie set last month (which I ended up returning) The bed was as cheap as can be with a tiny bit of cheap hard cloth as her bed sheets. The doll it self was made of hard plastic including her legs. They weren't even the rubbery legs that have the joint inside that allows you to bend them.
Also new 2015 BRATZ doll thread when ?
>>5140774
We had about 5 Barbie generals in a row earlier this year. Just depends on what people are around and how much news is coming out. Disney announced a bunch of dolls so these threads have more news than Barbie as well.
I wish Disney would re-release its older Broadway dolls.
>>5139005
Theres a big pack at Disney Store that includes her green dress, her purple dress, and the red outfit.
>>5142451
Not in Disney Stores in the US there isn't. I live about an hour away from Walt Disney world and in the past 16 years I've never seen them sell Disney doll clothing on their own. Sometimes they'll sell a pricy doll with extra clothing in the box but never a box set with clothing for the dolls. They just don't sell that separately here.
>>5142272
I thought that was a hot dog
>>5144473

Yes, they do. The Disney Store (both the Disney Parks stores and the stores not connected to the parks) has periodically released fashion packs for the princesses for several years and sold them in US stores. Now AFAIK they haven't released any new fashion packs since Frozen came out, but they have and do release them.
Although in any case I'm pretty sure >>5142451 was talking about the 2015 pack with Jafar, Aladdin, Genie, Jasmine in green, Rajah, Abu, and the pruple dress + red outfit.
>>5144473
Never said it was a fashion pack (though, yeah, Disney did in fact do that at the stores). >>5144538 is right, I meant the big full cast set. I know its not the greatest option but it does exist if you want a new Jasmine.
Though I do remember having a lot of Mattel-made Jasmine dolls with a big variety of outfits from the 90s. Had the purple and green outfits, a wedding outfit I think, a holo-fabric bathing suit for some reason? and probably a lot of others. I know they sold individual outfit sets for other Disney characters so it would seem very weird if they didn't for Jasmine at some point. I know I got some outfits specifically made for Ariel, Esmeralda, Cinderella, and I think Pocahontas too.
Anyone preordering the entire heroes and villains set?
>>5149313
Nah. I'm just going for Snow White/Hag.. maaaaaaybe Rapunzel/Gothel. And probably some of the journals/other merch.
I feel like I'm in the minority with this but
I think it's great that Disney Store is now doing raffles for the chance to buy LE dolls at physical stores instead of first-come, first-serve. First-come first-serve, at least in my experience, always led to people running through the mall, shoving past each other, eventual rule breaking (aka 'mall says you can't line up before 9 am but this one security guard decided to let people line up starting at 7 am') etc etc. With the raffles it's get there at a certain time, put your name in, there y'go.
>>5149343
Yup, raffles are the way to go. Volks (big name Japanese doll company) has been doing it this way for years. It's way more efficient than first come, first serve.
>>5149337
It would have been nicer if they used the Evil Queen for Ariel instead of the Hag. Same with Ariel and Vanessa.
>>5149499
>It would have been nicer if they used the Evil Queen for Ariel instead of the Hag.
I like them using the Hag because it makes for a better display, plus they've already done a Designer Evil Queen.
>>5149499
>Ariel
>>5149710
Er i mean snow white.

>>5150677

>>5150683

>>5150688

>>5150677
Looks good anon! I just did the same with a Cinderella I found. I've been making patterns for them, if anyone is interested. Pretty basic but they work.
>>5150691
finished
>>5150810
That's awesome! you should share
>>5151327
Wow, much better! I didn't realize how off putting the initial eye position looked until you repainted them to something that doesn't look like Rapunzel is being followed and she knows it.
>>5150688
Are you a god
>>5149343
I just went to my local Disney store and asked if they will be doing raffles and they manager told me Nope .."first come first served"
>>5151529
I wonder if they're going back to it being a store-by-store decision due to the unpredictable sales. I remember when we did raffles for the Designer Couples, it was a corporate decision for all the stores to raffle> But most of the days we didn't even have enough people sign up to bother with the raffle (though we did anyway for management reasons) but then for the latest batch of Frozen LEs we had to get security to help us make a line.
>>5151572
The only painful thing the disney store does that no other mall store does in the morning is the book lighting ceremony to let you into the store. They basically force a shy child to say a bunch of "Magic Words" over and over again while wearing a Mickey hat and cap before lighting a book in order to let you in the store.
Last time the kids didn't even wanna play along. They just wanted to be let into the store (so did all the other adults waiting to go in) The manager finally ended up ordering one of their lower hand rag "cast members" to put on the silly Mickey hat and say the magic words herself before lighting up a fake light up book and letting people into the store. The only thing the cast member wouldn't ( because I guess she just felt to retarded doing so) was put on the Mickey red cap to say the magic words along with the blue magic hat.
>EVERY MORNING
>EVERY FUCKING MORNING
JUST LET US INTO THE STORE!
THERE'S NOT SUCH THING AS "THE MAGIC"
IF I DON'T HAVE $130 TO PAY FOR YOUR HIGH PRICED DOLLS YOU WOULDN'T LET ME HAVE ONE BECAUSE OF "THE MAGIC" WOULD YOU ?
IT'S ABOUT HARD COLD CASH.
JUST Cut the Crap and open the store like all the other mall stores do!
>>5152513
....my disney store does not do this. granted that mine also does not look nearly so fancy, and there are generally no children in my mall that early on most mornings aside from the exercise mom group that has babies in strollers.
>>5151327
Yours looks nice! I need to get the painting on mine done, she has a scratch in one eye. Might also get some curlers to do her hair next week.
>>5153069
This is the before, if anyone is curious. She had gum or something similar stuck to her face, and also had something stuck in her hair so she got a bit of a haircut.
>>5152513
Man do I feel bad for the employee who got stuck with that.
>>5150688
Nice. One thing to consider about dolls with awful hair is that it's usually 99.9% fixable if it's not kanekalon and it's never been force-brushed by a hamhanded kid. A kid ripping it up with a hairbrush is what destroys it forever.
>>5150688
Did you sing the Healing Incantation while you fixed her hair?
>>5105974
I love this.
Preorders for the entire hero vs villain set tomorrow.
>>5159426
I thought it didn't start until the 29th?
>>5161087
Pre-orders for the entire set go online today (in about 10 minutes actually). Just the entire set, all the dolls, not the individual hero/villain dolls.
>doll pre-orders went up 40 minutes before they were supposed to
>pin sets (which were supposedly d23-exclusive) up
>none of these are accessible by search engine or the new arrivals page so the only people with a chance at getting them are the ones who stalk the disney forums and blogs (aka what I am doing)
>none of the other merchandise is up yet
why is the Disney Store website constantly fucked up
>>5161104
>why is the Disney Store website constantly fucked up
Why spend money fixing a site when there's a truck load of fans eating out of your hands who are willing to put up with anything. If you don't buy it a hundred other Disney fanatic zombi fans will. The dolls will get sold and they will get paid either way.
Why should they care about your shopping experience.
>>5133674
>Order Cinderella
>She has one shoe
>Mfw
[spoiler] I want my money back
>>5163381
Is she really ? Is it a mistake or are they all like this. Sorry ahead of time if that was a joke that flew over my head.
Saw these two today. Want,
I'm annoyed with myself for not getting the earlier Film Collection dolls when they were in stores. I just can't justify spending $70~ on the few that sell for way more than their retail price secondhand.
>>5170039
Fuck thats gorgeous
>>5170552
Almost all the Film Collection dolls are really nice, with the exception of the face problem that plagues the line. At least with this character her features are supposed to be exaggerated and ugly so it doesn't really stand out
So there's a rumor that they will be releasing a "Platinum" Aladdin Doll set with Aladdin and Jasmine that they'll sell for $750. So I imagine that will be kind of like the $500 LE Cinderella that was pretty much the 11 inch doll with some rhinestones.
Limited Edition Kairi doll around Kingdom Hearts 3's release when?
Maybe even an Aqua doll?
>>5100760
I went to the Disney Store today and saw all the sets in person on display. I could even hold each one in my hand.
I have to say that the one I wanted the most which was Snow White and the Hag were a big let down in person.
The hag has her white hair tied up in two see thru pony tails which makes it look odd / wired.
Her outfit isn't as impressive as it looked like in the online photos . Snow white looked kinda dull. The paint apps used for the face just didn't live up to the online photos and while her dress is nice her top was sooo dull and simple .
The best part of it all was the hags awesome looking face.
>>5174709
Did they even make a Kairi figure? I've only ever seen a million Soras and some of the XIII crew.
>>5174709
Ehhh I don't know. Maybe with Kingdom Hearts 3, if it ever comes out, they will have a limited line.
I mean if they made a Film Collection Tonto Doll, surely Kairi can get something. Even if it's a limited as fuck D23 release.
Which, speaking of, here's deboxed Regina & Snow.
bump
>>5174709
I would kill for an Aqua doll.
OOAK Mulan
>>5180664
I need it in my life.
Is anyone going to try for Snow White/Hag tomorrow?
>>5188363
I ended up going to the store then decided not to enter the raffle. I like the new Designer dolls but i'm saving up for the big Cinderella set, I must have the stepsisters+new stepmother doll
damn she's gorgeous
>>5103678
Honestly, what were they thinking with the bottom? It's like they stopped designing from the waist down.
>>5193902
Something about her eyes bothers me.
>>5197472
Is it the look of slight nervousness? I liked the brows from the Designer Couple better. I guess the idea, according to a blog post about their design, is that since she's about to take the apple it's like that "oh!" look but... eh.
HOw's getting a doll on release?
Like, how does the Raffle work?
Because I wanna go in and get Jafar, and can take the day off if I need to go early...
>>5198993
AFAIK they aren't doing raffles for the 17 inch Aladdin dolls. The raffles are only for the Designer Heroes/Villains sets this year. The LE Aladdin dolls will be first come, first serve... the store I go to has an employee at the friend with the LE doll display and they hand out numbered tickets if you want a doll until the dolls are sold out.
>>5188363
> tomorrow?
You asked this on Sunday. The dolls didn't go up for sale at the Disney Store until Tuesday tho.
Anyways I tried and got them. At first I wasn't sure if they were worth it but I ended up going for the raffle anyways. I meet some other really nice people while waiting and had a nice time. My name was called and I paid for them. It seems most of the Snow whites have an issue with their hair. It's a little to out of place / wild on the side of her head that's facing the Witch.
>image very related
Once I got her home and put her on the self I fell in love with them even more than when I saw them at the store which is odd for me since usually it's the other way around.
I'm very happy to say I have zero buyers remorse.
>>5192171
It's funny you say that because while I was waiting with others at the Disney Store for the White/Hag set a store "cast member" came up with that Cinderella set your talking about and tried selling it. I thought to myself "this guy needs to get out of here with that over priced box set"
This is how it went down
>Guy holds set up and tries selling it to people in line because he thinks doll collectors would bite
>No one said a word.
>Everyone in line just looked away.
>One girl with flowers in her hair asked how much the set was.
>Cast member said it was over $200.
>One chick in line started booing at the price
>Male cast member walked away with the set. while saying "Nobody.....n-n-nobody?
I knew thats the reaction he was going to get from the line the moments I saw him walking to us with the box set.
Not because it's a bad looking set though.
I don't care for it because I'm not a big fan of the actors in the film or the price point. Besides I already bought a Cinderella box set a few years back. It's based off of the actual animated characters from the classic timeless film and not some flavor or the moment modern day actors in cosplay.
>>5200948
They should have sold a trio set of the stepsisters+stepmother for $70 or heck even $100, if we go by $35 or so for each doll.
Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother are the same dolls from the solo sets, and let's be honest, nobody really cares about the Prince.
So basically people are being forced to buy an expensive as hell set for 3 dolls.
>>5200963
This is what I thought when I bought the set based of the animated film a few years back. All anyone really wanted was Lady Tremaine and the Stepsisters. I bought the set because I'm a big Eleanor Audley fan whos the voice actress for Lady Tremaine and Maleficent. My friend didn't buy it thinking that at some point Disney Store would release the step sisters and Step Mother separately which they never did. Disney knows most people only buy these sets for a few rare character. Like when they included Vanessa in their $80 Little Mermaid box set. They knew it was the first time this character had ever been made into a doll and that fans would rebuy all the other dolls just to get her. So instead of selling her individually they jam as many dolls, pvc figures, and dresses as they could into the box set and slap a heavy price on it. Giving the buyer the old "All or nothing" option.
>>5193902
Indeed. I'm not 100% sure about the flower pattern on her yellow dress but over all shes a beautiful doll.
>>5197472
The eyes are the only thing about her that I truly love. She has the shy sad glossy eyes of a soon to be victim. The eyes are very glossy as if to imply water is building up in them and tears would roll down her face if she blinked. Kinda like those sad wide eyed Japanese anime character dolls. It may be an odd chose but at least it's something different and cool.
>>5198654
> the look of slight nervousness?
I'm not very sure why Disney of all companies would choose to give one of their dolls this expression especially since Snowwhite wasn't nervous or sad in the film as the witch was handing her the apple. If anything she was happy and hopeful since she was making a wish while under the impression that it was a magic wishing apple that would make all her dreams come true.
>>5200962
Imagine how much they could have sold if it was a similar price point to the Designer Set! Sigh, Disney Store.
>>5201067
A-anon that's a silicone sex doll.
Anyone going for the Pan/Hook set today?
>>5204456
Still you have to admit there expressions are very similar .
>>5205901
Just got back about an hour ago from picking them up. My store got 20 sets of them and only about 12 people came for them which is way less than last week. I almost passed on them since I already had 12inch Hook and Pan dolls from 1999 and kinda wanted to just just get The Little Mermaid set. I dragged myself there to just look at them one more time and I have to say the amount of detail that each character has is just amazing. The little mermaid set looks so plain and basic compared to the Pan/Hook set. Every thing from the paint apps to the clothing and props are just awesome. I'm not sure about Hooks body but not only did they create a new face mold fore Peter but he also has a new smaller boy body type. They didn't just take the normal male classic Disney store doll body and shrink it down. I dare to say that I love this set even more than Snow and the Hag.
So there will be new 'light up' singing dolls. Not sure when they'll be released. Here's Rapunzel.
>>5206140
and Ariel. They're being labeled as 'Deluxe,' I wonder what the price point will be.
>>5206072
They made anew mold for the hag's body, too. This line is pretty nice so far.
>>5206140
Ever since I saw the Designer couple set where she was hold a lantern I've wanted a Rapunzel that holds a lantern like that and with that beautiful braid with flowers I'm totally sold!
I hope the release it soon........still waiting.....waiting......................still
>>5206144
Indeed they did. They also gave her black underwear. I never knew the hag wore black underwear
>The more you know jpg.
A lot of of you probably won't care but Athena (the robot girl from Tomorrowland) is getting the doll treatment
>>5207062
the doll's body looks so cheap...
>>5207066
I never saw here or any other dolls from that movie at the Disney Store in the US and I go there almost every week.
>>5207066
/tv/ is gonna love this
>>5207062
the naked hag is so disturbing
New Attractionistas. Here's the carousel girl...
>>5207928
and here's Jungle Cruise girl. I don't really get why she's blue too.
>>5207928
out of all the problems with this the thing bothering me is why her pet is a dog and not a pony or something
>>5209363
They aren't based on any Disney film, they are based on various Disney rides
>>5209372
What ride?
>>5209654
Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise to name a few
>>5208982
That require more effort.
Bigger picture of the Deluxe Singing Doll. It's described as being part of the 'Deluxe Disney Princess Feature Doll Collection' so presumably there will be more than Ariel, Rapunzel and Elsa in the future.
Also, images of the upcoming Aladdin+Jasmine LE (which is LE 250 and probably $1000, thanks Disney!) are leaked on one of the private doll Facebook groups. They haven't been posted elsewhere yet, though. Disney responded to someone's email basically saying they weren't going to publish any pictures or talk about the set before it was released because it would create a 'rush.'
Where can I get the creepy Woody doll?

Here's all three dollys in their boxes. I want Punzel and Ariel! Already have a singing light up hands 17inch Elsa.
>>5210009
>(which is LE 250 and probably $1000, thanks Disney!)
I feel your pain anon.
I'm still but hurt over what they did with the red dress slave Jasmine doll. They didn't even make enough to send a few to Disney Stores on the Blu-rays release date.
I just hope I can get Aladdin and Jafar. I'm not going to get my hope up to high tho. My local Disney Store is haunted by a bunch of old soccer mom hags who find ways to enter the mall at 6am threw unlocked security doors. The Disney Store doesn't even open until 10AM and these bitches are already there at 6AM like the bunch of CHEATING Vultures that they are.
Luckily for everyone that plays by the book our new "based" Security guards put their foot down last time and made them leave. Also told them that if he caught them sneaking into the mall at 6AM again he would FOREVER ban them from the Disney Store. Hope thats enough to spook them into not cheating but these old hags are so obsessed they might try breaking in again.
At least with the raffles everyone has a fair chance of getting a doll.
>>5210009
>images of the upcoming Aladdin+Jasmine LE are leaked on one of the private doll Facebook groups.
What facebook page? Share them here if you can please.
>>5211606
I don't have them, if I did I would have already shared! I'm just repeating what someone said on Disney pin Forum.
>>5211574
I'm honestly just... getting fed up with Disney at this point. For the past 2 years the quality of the LE dolls has gone down, but the price has gone up. Disney is deliberately scaling back on the quality of the "regular" LE releases, but bringing the quality back up to that of the older LE doll relaases for the more expensive, limited dolls--whether they're D23 or Harrod's exclusives. Look at what they did with Aurora last year... using the Harrod's "Deluxe" version for their promo images, then sending people dolls with far less details and less quality.
They also refuse to address the major issues with the LE releases, whether it's the shipping fiascos, people being able to find links to the dolls early and the dolls (in a few cases now!) selling out before they were technically public on the website, etc etc. They get their money so they don't care.
>>5211168
that is a revoltech, buddy, wrong thread
>>5211642
>For the past 2 years the quality of the LE dolls has gone down, but the price has gone up.
Thats what everyone waiting in line these past two weeks have been talking about. How the eyelashes used to be longer, the dresses and hair used to have so much detail and care put into them. People are starting to notice. My best guess as to why Disney is doing this could be one of two things.
A) They worked really hard at first to establish their Limited Edition dolls brand and now that it's not a little secret that only a few fans know about they can just sit back reduce their costs by cutting back on quality and release slightly fancy looking versions of their normal classic dolls.
B) They're not telling us but the LE doll train is winding down now that they've released all the classic fairy tails on Blu-ray. After all I think the only reason this line was started was to celebrate each film when it came out on blu-ray. With the exception of Aladdin and that new Princess film that's coming out in a few years Disney is done/ tapped out of princes characters to release as LE dolls. So maybe they are just milking the last few drops out of this whole LE doll line before they close shop.
If they ever do release Snow White, Little Mermaid or sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray again do you really think they are going to create new 17inch LE dolls?
It's also kinda obvious that something odd is going on with how they released so many dolls this year as if they were trying to get their moneys worth out of a sinking ship before it sank. They even released a LE Minnie Mouse doll and Re-released the LE woody and Buzz dolls.
>>5211853
I also like the idea of Attractionistas as well but none of the designs are really that interesting. Personally I would like to see them make dolls of the Tightrope Girl from the Haunted Mansion and the Redhead Wench from Pirates of the Caribbean
>>5211754
I think Disney knows that collecting is becoming more and more accessible and widespread. Particularly with social media encouraging people to take pictures of their dolls and collections... to me social media fuels collecting more than regular forums ever could.
As you said, it's not a 'little secret' anymore--they don't have to advertise and promote LE dolls like crazy to get them to sell. I remember when the first Snow White LE came out, they bundled it with the Snow White re-release and other goodies and just hammered out advertising trying to sell this doll. Now? They might throw up one advertisement weeks before, then let it be.
pic of someone's teal Jasmine. I will say she looks a lot better in non-stock photos... not sure I regret not getting her though.
>>5213295
It seems that person has touched her up a little. One thing is for sure that LE Jasmine doll DID NOT come with that beautiful flower that Aladdin gives her in the film during the A Whole New World. It would have been a really nice touch if they would have included it tho. You would think that for $130 each princes could come holding an object from their film like the early LE dolls did.
Even the cheaper $30 singing Jasmine doll sets come with the flower.
>>5213295
That anon has brightened the colors of that image to make the dress look like it's a lighter shad of dark green or as doll collectors call it "teal". That or the anon has it close to a very bright open window.
The actual doll doesn't look like that under normal non-eye blindingly bright lighting.
>>5211642
>Harrod's exclusives
I keep reading about this online but I'm not very clear what this is. Could you clarify what Harrod's exlusives mean ?
Rapunzel and Gothel is this week.
>>5216794
Very few collectors are getting that one. With the exception of a few clothing details and giving Rapunzel longer hair there is no advantage to owning this set if you already have the Disney Store Classic doll versions of them. Also on a personal note I hate the dark faded color they picked for Rapunzel's dress.
They should have done something fancier with them like image related.
>>5216094
So sometimes Harrod's gets their own special exclusive versions of Disney limited dolls. The exclusive dolls have a lower edition number and have more details, better quality fabrics, and sometimes other differences.
When Disney advertised their LE Sleeping Beauty, they used pictures of the Harrod's exclusive (which was LE 100, made with a more velvet-like material, more rhinestones, different draping etc) but when people got their dolls, they were less detailed, made with different fabric, and so on.
I'm starting to read rumors online that some people are getting early links to order the LE wedding Aladdin and Jasmine doll set. I think I've also read someone talk about this being an issue in one of these threads. So that by the time the dolls go live for sale they are already sold out because certain people got advanced links. I wonder if these are just rich and famous people who Disney favors that are sent the links in advanced or if they are those people who pay over $200 per year for those "Sorcerers" D23 memberships who get first dibs on whatever they want
>>5217580
The people that get early links are almost certainly employees of stores with the dolls or employees of the warehouses where the dolls are being stored. Basically anyone with access to the doll boxes.
The way that the 'early links' work is that people can get the item code from the physical doll box, and plug that into the Disney Store online site. And because Disney is stupid or too lazy to change how their links work, that brings up the website link for each item. So all people have to do is refresh until the item pops up for sale... unfortunately what happens it that the items are often technically "live" about 20-30 minutes before those links are viewable by searching the website normally.
>>5217218
Really? Well that's good so I won't have any competition getting it. I want to get that set for my best friend who loves dolls and Rapunzel.
The set I want the most is the Elsa and Hans set.
>>5217943
I can't speak for everyone in the world but at least the people who I've spoken to while waiting in line for the other two doll sets have told me they are just going to skip this set.
>>5150688
Oh man. I've had to do that with long human sized wigs. It takes forever but so nice when it's done.
>>5207052
It's online right now! I'd buy it tonight TBH. They were randomly put on the website this afternoon and Elsa & Ariel sold out within an hour.
http://www.disneystore.com/rapunzel-deluxe-feature-doll-16-h/mp/1386291/1000259/
>>5220045
Thanks for sharing the link but $50!!!
Thats kind of a harsh bummer. I remember when the 17inch singing dolls came out in 2011 they were $30 each and I ended up getting them all for $20 each when they went on sale for a few months.
Heck I've even seen them as low as $15 each when they had their twice upon a year sale
I was kinda upset and thought it was bad when they jacked up the price on the tall singing light up dolls about two years ago to $40 per doll. I ended up paying $80 plus tax for Elsa and Anna .
Now they jacked up the price yet again to $50 per doll! ?
Nice dolls but Disney Store is getting way to greedy .
Heres the wedding Aladdin and Jasmine dolls.
Way pricy and only 250 of them world wide. Bravo Disney!
>>5220395
They're kinda boring looking. I won't feel too bad about missing out on these ones.
>>5220395
Well I'm not upset that I'm not going to be able to get them. Embroidery is gorgeous but the cut of the stress is atrocious...
>>5220387
Yea, Disney's been raising their prices steadily.... it's frustrating. I would pay $50 for Rapunzel, personally, but not the other two. (But then I really love Rapunzel.) Her dress and braid are a lot nicer than the regular singing dolls but Ariel and Elsa don't look that different/better quality.
>>5220735
Actually wait, I looked closer and it's not even embroidery? Just rhinestones.
And they used the same top from the other dolls. Would it have killed them to spend a little extra money--since they're sure as hell charging the cost of 6 LE dolls--on making full dress that at least somewhat resembled Jasmine's wedding outfit?
Got to buy LE Aladdin. Hes my first male LE 17inch doll and looks really awesome/ presentable in person.
Some scalper lady that camped out in front of the mall starting at 4AM all night by herself left in a storm of anger when she was told that they didn't get Jafar in and that they wouldn't sell her more then one Aladdin. She left without buying anything. Our store got like 10 Aladdin's and there were plenty of them left over when I got mine. All in all I'm glad I got him. The Abu he comes with is pretty large compared to the normal sized one that comes inside of the $80 box set. I saw the teal LE Jasmine and didn't feel bad at all for not getting her. I'm sorry for those who really like her but to me shes a dark, conservative and depressingly ugly doll. I would have gotten slave Jasmine tho.
>>5218294
You were right: she wasn't very sought after in my Disney store, and I live in a major city too. They still have Pan and Hook, no Snow White and Hag.
Getting Elsa and Hans is going to be stressful.
>>5220825
I didn't regret not getting Jasmine either for the same reasons as you did. I know some people find her to be nice but she's boring and fades too much in the background.
>>5152513
...Call it intuition but I have a feeling you and the other scalping fucks made things more awkward than they needed to be that morning.
And just when I thought I couldn't feel any more sorry for disney employees too. They really should just stick with the raffle method, the retail scene is shitty enough as it is without faggots trying to make a quick buck off of collector shit.
>>5168229
Rapunzel's face looks kind of bad. That 5head ruined her round face shape so it looks so awkward and oblong. Her big eyes don't really help either.
The profile on >>5206140 is a little wonky but at least her forehead looks normal.

>>5222393
What part of that post made you believe that I'm as scalper? Where did you read anything about me reselling the dolls in that post? All I said was that after hours of waiting for a doll I just wish they would open their door like all other normal store do so I can go in get my doll and go get some lunch / sleep already.
Sorry that you were triggered but learn to read more carefully anon. I Hate scalperfags to!
I ended up pay a scalper $500 for a $100 doll once because I wanted it sooo badly and the dang thing just keeps going up in price every month online. I'm not proud of giving one of those fucks that type of money and yes I feel shame for doing so and yes I hate the fucker for price gouging me so hard but I wanted it so badly. It's my second most favorite part of my collection.
Who's gonna be getting Ursula and Ariel next Tuesday?
>>5226184
I just got back from returning some stuff to make the last $8 I needed for Ariel and Ursula!
I'm SUPER poor yet I've some how used every trick in the book to get as many as I could. Had to sell stuff like a Star Wars black series bb8 & Ray, Jurassic world Bad boy I-Rex, barbie Bed room set, a light up talking plush Minion, and a Toy Story 3 Jessie doll.
This is what I got in exchange. Snow White and Hag, Pan and Hook, LE 17inch Aladdin and Jafar. Had to wait 4 hours in line for him because they only got 3 Jafars in.
I skipped LE Jasmine 17", Rapunzel and Mother Gothel and I'll skip Elsa and Hans since I already have their classic dolls which look kinda the same with just a few less bells and whistles.
>>5230641
You could just try replying to someones post. Sometimes I don't have much to say but I'll bump the thread by picking out recent post to reply to like I'm doing at this very moment.
Got the 'Feature Doll' Rapunzel today. She's gorgeous. She's worth $50 IMO. Although I only paid $30 because I had that $10 off coupon and $20 gift card from a damaged item a few months back. Her braid is lovely but the flowers are plastic, because they're the things that light up. It would have been better to have nice fake flowers in her hair and make the lantern light up but it's not a dealbreaker I suppose. Her costume is nice, has lace trimmings on the bodice, sleeves and bottom. The only thing I don't care for is that they used that sheer sparkly fabric for the overskirt instead of using fabric that matched the bodice, which they did use for the underskirt. But it does give it a nice gauzy princessy look so...
Other than that, very lovely doll. She's a lot better quality than the other tall singing dolls--the 2011 and 2012 are on the left here. Her costume is more detailed, her face matches the character more, her hair is weaved with sparkly tinsley and the braid well done.
I saw the Elsa & Ariel Featured dolls in the store and I don't think they're worth the $50. They don't seem to have the care put into them that Rapunzel does.
>>5233025
I really wish I had that LE Rapunzel. Sadly LE dolls only caught my eye when Cinderella was released. On the brigh side I do have the one on left which was the first one released when the film first hit theaters.
>>5233025
Seeing that Aladdin just got released would it have killed them to release a Jasmine 17inch singing doll. They did it when The Little Mermaid was released on blu-ray. She even came with a blue dress
>>5233419
They've been really screwing up this Aladdin re-release tbh. Most of the stuff in stores is limited edition so it's a pain in the ass to get... Sleeping Beauty & Little Mermaid had a lot of general merchandise for their anniversaries.
>>5233408
I have the wedding one but not the original/purple LE. I wish I did too, she's really lovely.
>>5226184
I picked them up and boy I'll tell you there were so may people there today for them. Never underestimate the power of The Little Mermaid.
My local Disney Store still has the Rapunzel and Pan set....Heck they still have a few LE Aladdin dolls left over from last week but Ariel and Ursula sold out today. We got about 20 of them and there were more than 20 people there. Only thing I kinda dislike is when you have couples come in and they buy two of them up essentially screwing over someone who was trying to go home with one.
I wonder if Frozen will do as well next week or if it will shelf warm like Tangled and Peter Pan. The end of Frozen fan fever might be coming to an end. I heard one lady behind me say "You wanna come get the Elsa and Hans set next week?" The other girl reply saying "I'm kinda sick so much Frozen stuff."
It will probably sell well tho
I'm debating and debating. That tail is gorgeous, her hair is gorgeous. But the shiny skin and shirt are throwing me off.
>>5236376
Yeah I feel you anon.
Truth be told I did not buy this set for the Ariel doll for the same reasons you listed. I hate these new modern day dolls with their shiny/greasy faces. That conservative shirt they gave her just to save money on creating a fancy bra for her kills me and unless you take her out of the box you can't even see her hair or the rock shes sitting on from the front. The tail is really nothing special. It looks like an art project anyone could do if they bought a normal classic doll and just glued the scales on themselves. The fins aren't really all that impressive.
I did on the other hand buy it for the Ursula doll. I'm a really REALLY big fan of the Ursula character, Devin, aka (the inspiration for the character) and Pat Carrol aka (Ursulas voice actress).
Not only is she my favorite Disney Villain shes also my favorite Disney character period.
Only thing that bummed me out about the Ursula doll is that she is THE ONLY female doll in this doll line that DOES NOT have rutted eye lashes. That's totally disrespectful in my book. The black body also seem to be made out of pleather which I'm sure will crack and self deteriorate over time as well. Even when I was at the store and put my name in the hat to win this set I was still thinking about skipping it. I ended up buying it for fear that I'd regret not getting it later on and than see it on sites like ebay in a few years being sold by scalpers for $400 to $600.
>>5236778
you mean rooted? The witch/hag doesn't have them either.
>>5236998
Yeah but the hag is supposed to be an ugly old witch. Ursula is more of a Diva than a frumpy old witch. Not to mention that her 17" doll who shared the same face mold came with rooted eyelashes.
Come to think of it I'm pretty sure the witch/hag didn't even have eyelashes in the film...
So the reason for Ariel's shirt is her jointed waist. The shirt hides it.
>>5240729
But why would they give Ariel a waist joint in the first place? Whats the point of just giving it to the one character in the line that actually shows off her belly?
>>5241404
because Ariel needs to 'sit' due to her tail. with the regular doll waist it would be more difficult to position her ni the box.
>>5241810
To sit Ariel on the rock all you would need to do is bend her legs to place her in the sitting position. A rotating wait line would only allow her to move her body side to side. What would having a random rotating waist line have to do with helping the doll sit on the rock?
>>5242262
She can't sit like that in the box without disney spending extra on support plastic.
>>5242451
>support plastic
They could have just strapped her down to the rock with see thru rubber bands or twisty ties..
How does splitting the doll in half by the waist help her sit better on the rock?
>>5241404
Love her dress, hate her face. Why are the eyes so weird?
>>5242718
Different anon but I think I figured it out. From this pic >>5241810 it looks like she's in complete profile, but her tail is diagonal with the fin in the corner, like in my shitty paint pic. They want her torso/face to still be looking forward so you can see it all without removing it, so they added the joint.
someone's comparison of the original LE Rapunzel and the Deluxe/'Feature' Singing Rapunzel that just got released
damn I kick myself every time I see LE Rapunzel. I didn't get her when she first came out because I didn't like those big sleeves but...
>>5243934
I didn't even know about her or LE dolls in time to get her. I only saw the wedding LE Rapunzel in person that had the short brown hair. I'd love to get the new singing one but I haven't seen her at my Disney Store yet plus after all the LE dolls I bought this month I'm all tapped out of money.
Those newer Rapunzel dolls look nice. I have this older one. The only reason I bought it was it was cheap and came with a tiny Pascal. Not enough Pascal merch.
Doesn't Disney usually do a Friends & Family sale the first week of November or so? Does anyone remember if it's a certain percentage off everything deal or is it exclusive? I'm debating using the current 20% off code but I'm not sure if I should just wait a week or 2 for something better
>>5244413
>only reason I bought it was it was cheap and came with a tiny Pascal.
I guess you wouldn't be buying one today than.
In 2010 Disney Store classic dolls sold for $12.50. Than in 2013 they wen't up to $14.50. In 2014 they went up yet again to 16.95.
Not only did the prices go up but they dolls are less detailed and if you're buying a Rapunzel doll the ones selling for $17 now come with WAY less hair to the point were if you pull a strand to the side you can see the scalp. The hair is also shorter. Before it used to be longer than the doll itself. Now it doesn't even reach her feet. Also NO PASCAL.
You can sometimes get them on sale for 3 for $30 but you are forced to buy three of them to get them at the $10 price point.
Still no matter what they are WAAAY better in price and quality than the ones you will find at Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us made by Mattel.
>>5244502
Can't speak for all Disney Stores but only those who waited in line to buy the $130 Ariel and Ursula set were given a "Share the Magic with Friends & Family 25% off coupon thats only good from November 5 - 8.
Cast members said they didn't get many coupons in so they were handing them out to us. I guess it was because we were buying pricy dolls.
>>5244581
Yes, I think I paid like ten dollars for her. I braided it because I didn't want to deal with it. I only bought her for Pascal and she went in a display cabinet with Ezio, because I got him around the same time. Pascal I use for other things.
>>5244413
That's a nice Ezio. Where is he from?
>>5244581
To be fair, one of the reasons for the shorter hair are constant parent complaints. We got a lot of comments from parents about the dolls hair tangling really easily, and the reviews on the disney store back in the day for the earlier dolls reflected that. Less full hair is cheaping out, but, the length is more likely because parents got tired of it.
>>5244597
Everyone gets them. It's a friends and family event. They do about 2 or 3 a year.
So I managed to bag myself the set of 5 Fairytale Designer dolls this morning, having missed out on every single previous release since I usually have stuff to do at 8am on weekdays (ie catching a train) and disney UK's mobile site is completely heinous.
The butthurt is glorious, and quite cathartic after 4 weeks of enduring gloating from people who have nothing to do with their Tuesday morning besides refreshing websites
>>5247512
Mattel did the same stupid "holding area" concept with their newest Tokidoki doll and similar BS happened with people basically being stuck in a waiting room while others bought dolls. I wonder why Disney even bothered since it failed so hard with Mattel? Eh.
>>5244821
Aw hey, it's nendo Arawn. You have diverse taste in toys anon, I like it.
>>5247512
>The butthurt is glorious,
Wow dude it seems like you have some pent up aggression or something. You sound like a Disney Villain who just got his revenge or some shit.
>gif. very related
It's not a contest. Collectors who have the time and can will try to get them day one.
Collectors who don't have the time or can't end up paying more online for them later on.
>after 4 weeks of enduring gloating from people who have nothing to do with their Tuesday morning
I don't think its so much gloating as it is just them expressing their excitement / happiness
Sure people are going to be hyped that they were able to get something they've been waiting and hopping to get for months.
I got the Hans and Elsa dolls. I like the detail they put with Hans' clothes.
I was kind of hoping Disney would do a surprise Hocus Pocus doll release. But then again maybe not, what with the extremely limited release of their Once Upon a Time dolls...
>>5253838
ALL MY MONEY!
>>5253838
some other OOAKs. Man, Disney would do really well with these... their Live Action Collection dolls have great costumes/fashion.
>>5253838
So was I anon. So was I.
>>5253970
All they put out were high priced shirts. Each fucking shirt was priced at $30 ...30 fucking dollars
This thread is made mostly up of girls... right?
>>5254532
They are nifty shirts, though. And they had them BOGO so you could get at least 2 half off, assuming you got all three of the costume shirts + one of the Sanderson Museum shirts.
Granted I wanted more. Maybe since the Hocus Pocus Villain Show has been insanely successful and popular, Disney will take another look at the series. Although I hope they don't pull a Once Upon a Time and only make a very limited amount for D23........
>>5254665
There's also the possibilty of a Hocus Pocus world in Kingdom Hearts 3, though it may just be the Sisters appearing as villains outside their respective world like Maleficent due to "hurr, Salem is a real place". Which would be bullshit because HP would be a near perfect Halloween Town replacement, and it could be easier to to do than Pirates seeing it can easily just have a more exaggerated version of Halloween Salem as opposed to a realistic place.
I mean from what I heard, the real reason Tron got in 2 was because apparently Legacy was greenlit around the time.
>>5254665
>I hope they don't pull a Once Upon a Time
Someone will hang if they do this
>They turn at least one of the sister into a black woman like they did with Rapunzel and Ursula the sea witch just because "WE BE PROGRESSIVE NOW!".
>>5255058
Hm? I meant that I hope they don't do what they did for Once Upon a Time, and only release very limited dolls available only at D23.
>>5254665
>Insanely successful and popular.
Source?
>>5255186
22 of the 25 dates sold out within hours. Last year the only date that sold out beforehand was halloween. The halloween events at WDW are usually not as crowded as those at DL but for the hocus pocus show they were full.
>>5255058
It could also just be actress availability at the parks.
>>5255487
So what you're saying is that there's hope for this Hocus Pocus 2
Just imagine if it's made into a major film there might be dolls produced for the film just like when Maleficent came out. Granted they would be pricy $35 a pop doll but that's better than limited to 250 D23 exclusive dolls.
>>5255810
Even tho I've never seen a black chick play a white character at any Disney park just because a white actress wasn't "available" we aren't talking about Disney parks.
We were talking about the abc show Once Upon a Time where they turned Rapunzel (who is known for having iconic long blonde hair) into a black chick with the longest looking shitlocks ever put put on film. They also turned Ursula into a THIN empowered black woman.
>>5255838
Damn, Disney couldn't spring for a wig that wasn't made out of yarn?
>>5249190
I'm sick of both Mattel and Disney refusing to upgrade their goddamn servers to be able to adequately handle the traffic. This has happened every time both release anything limited for years. JFC, just rent some from Amazon for 12 hours.
>>5255838
This frustrates me so much because this isn't even real diversity, its just basically palette swapping since they're really not having her play the character differently than a white actress. She's still portrayed as a European princess. There's so goddamn many great myths and legends from all over the world, why do we need to keep doing this?
>>5257557
>they're really not having her play the character differently than a white actress. She's still portrayed as a European princess.
Rapunzel in the show is from the Enchanted Forest, though, not Europe. And before this point there were kings/queens/princesses/etc who were shown as black.
I think color blind casting > forcing an actor who isn't white into a pre-conceived notion of what a "black character" should be. Disney has done color blind casting for their live productions, stage and screen, and I doubt they'll stop that anytime soon.
>>5254532
>>5255058
Waw, this looks sad. These are that kind of thing that actually ruins the image of the Hocus Pocus film to me.
I'd rather just rewatch the film and have nothing new instead.
But I guess Disney will soon come up with more watered down Hocus Pocus related things to feed to Disney's fanbase and get some more new money...
Images of Hasblow's new Disney dolls have leaked. Mattel certainly isn't perfect but their stuff is leaps and bounds ahead of this shit.
>>5259056
Some t-shirts and Bette Midler dressing up at one of her concerts (no, that isn't from the Disney parks) "ruins" the image of the film for you? That's kind of sad DESU. The shirts were cheaper if you took advantage of the BOGO, and it's not all that surprising that limited edition items that were specially created to be sold at the parks + online are more expensive than a shirt you'd find at Walmart, anyway.
>>5259180
Mulan looks okay, and I like that they're using green/not her matchmaker dress. Also her face is leaps and bounds better than that bizarre-ass face Hasbro used for 'Lonnie' in their Descendants line.
But overall, really bizarre. Lack of articulation isn't surprising but disappointing nonetheless (Descendants dolls had it, c'mon Hasbro!) but the bodies are totally at odds with those big, honking heads. Monster High's big heads work because of the stylized bodies and articulation, but those bodies are very sort of "little girl chracter" then BAM huge head?
I'm actually surprised at how meh these are. The Descendants dolls, minus the guy characters and their attempt at the asian character's face, look nicer.

guess it doesnt matter who make the dolls, they will always be cheap

knowing Hasbro, the hair on the dolls once you take them out of the boxes will resemble a bird's nest. They really package their dolls in the worst manner possible.

Is that picture squished horizontally like the bottom right suggests, or are they really that horse-faced?

It looks like what happens when a knockoff factory puts Barbie size heads on a Bratz size body.

While I would kill for some Hocus Pocus dolls myself I kinda get where you'r coming from anon.
It's kinda like what Hollywood did to that film "A Christmas Story". It was just a little film that the main stream didn't seem to care about for almost 20 years and than word of mouth (Tumblr, Instagram, Social Media) caused it to become to big for it's own good to the point that they released A Christmas Story 2 straight to DVD and you can't walk into a store around Christmas time without seeing 20 pieces of merchandise from the film. Turning a little cute film that used to make you feel warm and special into an over hyped fashionable abomination you get sick of when you see it IN STORES.
