A thread for Barbie dolls, Disney dolls, any fashion dolls that aren't Monster High/Ever After High or BJD.
previous thread >>5585021
The Disney Store has a sale on the Classic Dolls, $9 each for today only. They are more than likely trying to clear them out to make way for this year's batch of Classic dolls.
http://www.disneystore.com/classic-dolls-for-9/mn/1011101/
Will they finally give Pocahontas and Mulan a genuine makeover? Or will we be stuck with those same dolls forever...
Chiffon Ball Gown Barbie (last doll in the Black & White collection) goes on sale next week. Platinum label, Fan Club exclusive.
>>5663606
I hope they make a Beast doll with a head that sits properly while they're at it.
>>5664134
Part of me wonders if they're even continuing the prince dolls. They stopped making the villains, after all.
>>5664280
>They stopped making the villains, after all.
It kills me that I didn't pick up a Gaston when I had the chance.

I've been following these two new The Barbie Look pop up in conventions, but there is still no oficial release.

P.S. They should definitely have kept the Steffie face.
>>5664889
Coachella Barbie?
>>5663827
I'm not feelin that face at all. It looks like a bad custom job.
>>5664889
ugh, definitely. I have an extra glam luke Midge I can use to rehome the outfit at least.
>>5663606
>They are more than likely trying to clear them out to make way for this year's batch of Classic dolls.
They have them priced at 2 for $20 all year long at my local Disney Store. Last year when my local Disney Store was trying to make room for the new 2015 dolls they placed the old ones at the back of the store and priced them at around $7 each.
That said they are great dolls and the price is more than fair. I really liked the 2015 dolls. The almost got them all. The Beast and Aladdin were my favs.
Heres a side by side of how they looked in 2014 vs 2015. I don't really know how they are going to top 2015 this year unless they just re-release the same dolls in new looking boxes.
>>5665504
dang I didn't realize the 2015 princes looked so good
>>5665552
The reason the 2015 line looked so good is because they used the exact same molds from expensive doll sets that sold for around $130 per couple.
>>5665597
So you're basically getting highly detailed sculpts that were created to draw in the adult doll collector crowed for only $9 per doll.
>>5665504
Sometime last fall they did a great promotion. Buy one doll get one for $1. I wish I had picked up the princes then!
>>5665504
Ooh, 2015 Li Shang had real hair. Not going to hold my breath but I hope that makes a comeback.
>>5665907
*2014
Disney Store Alice wearing the Jakk's Pacific dress
Disney Store Live Action Cinderella in some of the animated version's dresses. Damn these turned out gorgeous. I may need to do this with the extra Cinderella that came in the big pack I got for Christmas.
![aquadream_01[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/RuRQghK.jpg "aquadream_01[1].jpg")
>>5666478
American brands use this sort of shimmery fabric for dolls so often. I like the dress style, but the fabric doesn't go at all with it.
>>5666478
>>5666479
>They just can't hide the fact that Alice has a bigger man chin than Robert Z'Darr's.
>>5666554
It's the cheap way out. Jakk's Pacific made a very pretty China Doll from Oz the Great and Powerful, and it's brought down by this crappy fabric. It's why I won't be buying their Alice dolls unless they're on sale because that fabric is not worth $29.99-$69.99.
>>5666478
Too bad about the face. She looks cute otherwise.
so uh, are you guys girls or just a little bit of faggy? not that there's anything wrong with that just curious.
>>5665599
Its Disney. They spent all that money on making the molds, they're sure as hell going to keep using them.
>>5666479
She looks like she might have had some retouching on her makeup too. Very pretty.
>>5666603
Thats the thing that makes me saddest. The second doll you linked isn't even Alice, its Cinderella, but in trying to make them realistic they just gave them both manjaw. I feel like Mattel tends to do better real people faces. Not great, but better.
>>5667131
They do. Disney's mumps face is really gross.
>>5666478
Is it odd that the item I want more out of that image is the White rabbit for some reason.
A nearby Target had some of the new Fashionista doll&fashion sets in and damn Mattel quality control needs to get a grip. All three of the sets in stock had very warped/squished faces, ranging from looking like their heads were in a squeezer to the petite doll's face being smashed in. And it couldn't have been shipping damage because the boxes were in perfect condition and it was only the faces that were fucked. I only took a picture of the tall doll.
>>5667131
I think so, that user does some repainting on most their dolls
Negative review of the Misty Copeland doll. Yikes, Mattel. Yikes.
https://dollsaga.wordpress.com/2016/05/14/misty-copeland-barbie-is-she-collectible/
>her head is full of glue, her body is badly made: large holding marks on both sides of her neck, deep scratches on both arms, rough seams on legs, her arms are not evenly varnished, so they are partially shiny and partially Matte. the sewn-on fashion is made of cheap stretchy polyester knit & tulle, the head-piece is more ridiculous!
>>5669705
And a review from a youtuber who bought it (rather than someone who was gifted the doll by Mattel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJvt4HTLIw4
>>5667173
Righto needs a goddamn vaccine.
from the official Barbie Instagram. Wonder if we'll be getting an articulated curvy body soon.
>>5672624
>Generic blonde girl with her Generic black best friend sidekick.
Are these Clueless dolls?
>>5667877
I don't even care what they do anymore frankly. I lost all respect for them when I saw fat barbie on toy shelves this year. I'm not boycotting them or anything. I don't care about them that much. If they put out something nice I'll buy it. I just give up on asking why this or why would they do that questions.
>>5672782
I lost all respect for yousaid a company having a fat doll on a shelf is worth losing respect.
>>5667877 is clearly a damaged product and reflects poorly on the company's product quality. A curvy body type is just a new way for a company to market themselves as progressive and creating that precious brand name family friendly appeal.
>>5672818
>company to market themselves as progressive
Any company who is desperate enough to market themselves as being "progressive" is damned in my book.

>>5672777
Judging by the total lack of enthusiasm in their outfits, they are clearly not.
Their clothing suit Mean Girls much better...
So what does /toy/ think of the new and improved cute Monster High faces? I kinda like them. They look more like happy, smiling Disney characters now.

>Too much of an ugly shade of pink.
I wish Barbie could actually step away from the Pink World Dream era for a bit...
>>5672837
You'll have better luck in the MH general >>5669324 . By the way, you're in the minority, although I'm right there with you. On paper, I like the old faces, but they just had the oddest way of stretching on the face of the actual dolls.
Does anyone collect vintage Barbies?
>>5672818
I lost respect for you said you don't tolerate the opinion of that other person.
>>5673061
How old is old enough to consider "vintage" barbies?
I try to by ones from the 80s and 90s whenever I find one at a good price since those are the ones that I wasn't allowed to have as a child.
>>5673333
1959 - 1979 is considered vintage
1980 - 1999 is considered retro
2000 - today is considered modern
>>5673738
ehhh,
-the vintage era is more so 1959 to 1964/1965,
-the Mod era is 1965-1972,
-the best buy era/Mattel suffers the economy era 1973-1977,
-the Superstar/retro era is 1978-1989,
-the Pink "Collectors" era was 1990-1999,
and 2000s onwards is considered modern with its own subsets (like Barbie using the bellybutton body, and the Generation Girl sculpt until 2014. She got a new face in 2015 but her "original" body sculpt in 2016 is actually super different to the 2000s era)
Anyway, dolls from the vintage era tend to have only fans for that specific era and shit so yeah.
I tend to collect the Vintage and Mod era dolls, and a lot of 2000s era dolls since I think the dolls in between are fucking ugly.
>>5673061
I've got a few. Mostly ones I've picked up very cheaply due to being in bad shape and fixed them up. I've had a few where the hair just literally crumbled off so they got fun color reroots, but I do try to keep them original otherwise.
Oh and locally there's a retro toy store, it definitely focuses more on boy toys like most of those seem to but they have a LOT of very cheap 80s/90s/early 00s Barbies that they get through estates. Been picking up a bunch of the 90s repro dolls plus some old Fashion Avenue and BMR sets.
>>5673061
I don't collect them specifically but I have a 1970 Twist and Turn PJ, and a '64-'66 Straight Leg Midge with a Garden Party set (minus the gloves). I found them in a big box of 90s Barbies at a thrift store.
I really need to get my hands on this doll, original or the 2009 repro. Can't get seem to get them in goood/new condition for a good price anywhere. I'm a huge Jem fan and need this in the collection.
>>5674276
It's on ebay for $40-50, which is just a bit above retail.
>>5673333
Best reason to buy toys ever and also how I justify all my current toy spending.

Pictures rumored to be from a preview of a Comic Con Exclusive She-Ra.
My problem with these kinds of exclusives from such a hugely known brand, is that it usually only makes the doll overpriced, because it's mostly scalpers who will be getting them.
>>5674950
If this is real I wan't this to be real!!! Please let it be sold in stores. If I have to buy it off of one of their crappy sites or pay scalper prices on ebay I won't be able to .
>>5675001
>Comic Con Exclusive She-Ra.
>>5674950
>popular character from the 80s
>exclusive
Ugh. Disney pulled this shit with Star Wars and Once Upon a Time at the last D23. "Oh hey you know this insanely internationally popular franchise and this generally popular newish TV show that people have been clamoring for merchandise for? Exclusive!!"
>>5675111
It's a good thing. They are testing whether merch will sell for those properties and if the Comic con exclusive stuff sells well then it will come to retail. If it sells bad however it will not.
Same thing happened with the Integrity Jem dolls. First one was a comic con exclusive, sold out fast and so they made a ton more different dolls.
Patience.
>>5674950
Another update from MattyCollector says she'll have costume changes. I'm hoping that the multiple costume version will be what is the SDCC exclusive, then a standard one for general sale.
3 of the 2016 Disney Store Classic dolls. So I guess this year the theme is having an animal friend.
>>5677818
>Flit and not meeko
Why.
>>5677818
They come with sidekicks ? Fuck but I don't wanna rebuy all of them again. What are you doing to me Disney!
Also Flounder would be to big. I'm gussing they will go with Sebastian
>>5679336
>Why
Because giving you Meeko would = Disney spending about a penny more on plastic since Meeko is larger than Flit and Disney isn't going to spend an extra penny on more plastic to make fans happy.
>>5677818
Is it just me or do their waist lines look thicker. (I'm looking at you Pocahontas) I hope they aren't as "realistic" aka fat as the new Hasbro dolls,
>>5677818
Flashback to that one year we got 2 friends and hairbrushes. That was a good year. Last year Mulan had a nice dress too.
>>5679344
they did Flounder the year they had 2 sidekicks and he wasn't that much bigger than Sebastian, but who knows.
>>5679358
? Looks the same as the 2015 dolls to me.
>>5679493
lil Flounder from that year... 2010, I think?
Huh. I had no idea the Disney Store did a line of fairies dolls based on the books.
has anybody been able to find the DC Super Hero Girls dolls at Target? The only doll that's ever been in stock when I go is Super Girl.
>>5681967
I managed to snag them all fairly quickly after their initial release. With the exception of Bumblebee, they go really fast at my local stores.
new photo from the Barbie Instragram. Articulated curvy and new Ken? hmm
>>5679500
I don't believe they've ever sold those types of boxes that come with so may accessories in the US. I've seen images of "Disney Store" dolls for years online that look like that but I've been going to the my local Disney store once a week since 1995 and have never seen them. Only time I've seen those two side kicks was with the long doll box that had Vanessa, Ursula, Eric, and King Triton.
>>5673333
I want the og barbie. Not one reproduced for this gen. The actual OG barbie. No idea why but I do.

I live in the US and bought Pocahontas and Mulan with those boxes and accessories, and saw them all in person, so I don't know what to tell you.
someone's OOAK jasmine
>>5686793
It seems they were trying to rip off the D23 expo exclusive limited edition doll, and didn't seem to do a very good job.
>>5686915
>trying to rip off
They weren't "Trying to rip off" the doll, they were making their own version, since the actual doll is buttfucking expensive. I think it looks pretty awesome considering.
>>5686915
Honestly if you didn't point out that it was a fan made Slave dress I wouldn't have noticed. I'd rather make my own red slave dress or pay a friend to make me one than pay those ass raping online prices the D23 expo exclusive limited edition doll sell for. The dress could even be improved upon. Shes supposed to be a sexy slave girl yet the doll itself....doesn't look all that sexy to be honest.
If you're not going to make the dress look movie accurate (which the D23 red dress isn't) you might as well go all out. I would have like it to look more like image related. In the color red of course.
>>5686793
that person has made a few OOAK versions of limited dolls. I like his Designer Belle better than the actual doll.
>>5686987
and the actual doll
>>5684976
My Disney Store is about an hour away from Disney World and I've never seen them in person sadly but I am looking forward to the new 2016 classic dolls.
>>5681967
I managed to get a Harley but can't find WW or Batgirl anywhere, and Batgirl is the one I really really wanted too. Funny enough its Ivy that is shelfwarming hard here. Weird how each area has a different one.
>>5684885
A local store has one wearing the Suburban Shopper outfit for $150 but she's in terrible condition and has been there for like 2 years. I think they'd do better to split the outfit separate, I know I'd buy it for my repro girl.
>>5684403
> articulated curvies
> the one with the jeans and the jacket
Mmmf. I haven't given Barbie my allowance money in ages but I am snapping one up the second I can. Any idea of release dates yet?
>>5686995
Oh dang I totally agree. The official dress is shapeless, busy and that tulle is terrible. His reproduction is much more faithful to that stellar illustration. Nnnf.
>>5687216
Nope, sadly. We don't even know if we're getting articulated curvy dolls. It's a bit complicated because Mattel's latest move was to make 4 cheaper super articulated "regular" dolls in the main skin tones, basically aimed at people who buy them and swap the bodies with different heads. But with the new body sizes that would be 9 dolls, minimum, assuming they only did the white, somewhat tan, then a darker brown skin tone.
>>5687225
The actual official dolls were so disappointing compared to those illustrations. Especially the Marge Simpson hair on Belle and Mulan.

LE Beauty and the Beast Disney Store dolls coming in the fall:
17″ Belle ($119.95)
17″ Beast ($119.95)
17″ Gaston ($119.95)
17″ Platinum Belle and Beast two doll set ($750)
Preorders will be taken for Belle, probably no preorders for Beast and Gaston, platinum will be online exclusive.
>>5688580
Gaston had best be super beefy. His twiggy Disney Store doll just looked wrong.
>>5689159
Nobody could lose his beef like Gaston!
>>5689159
This doll goes for $60-120 secondhand. Jesus.
>>5665504
Some of the 2014 I like better.
Like Merida for example.
>>5688580
Kinda upset that the stand-alone Beast is going to be his beast form and not as the prince. Fuck platinum editions.
>>5690471
the platinum editions are fucking ridiculous bullshit.
>>5691022
For that kind of money, I'd rather spend it on a grail.
>>5692595
Right. Especially one that genuinely has detail and quality, like the LE Snow White.
>>5692609
She's my final grail doll. One day I will get her. I just don't think she's worth the same price as an Alice.
What is your absolute lowest threshold for selling on old dolls?
I have a bunch of in-box (many very badly damaged due to living in a shitty climate with shitty storage options) Barbie dolls from the 80s and 90s that I need to sell, but my time is limited, I only have about a week. Even in great condition, most of them are only worth 35-50 at the higher end, so I can't imagine they'd be worth much beat up as they are.
TL;DR: have a bunch of collectible Barbies that were damaged in storage. Is it worth trying to sell them for a pittance, or should I donate them to a charity shop and hope some kid enjoys playing with retro, giant-haired Babs?
>>5693666
Sell them online for a pittance. That way you're at least getting something and someone online who's been looking for your dolls can finally have them. If you've only got a week list'em and anything not sold goes to charity.
I got Misty Copeland Barbie in the mail today. I don't debox so none of the flaws are visible, but somehow just knowing they're there is driving me crazy.
70s Barbies are great
>>5693666
I have to be able to make at least $4 profit per doll after shipping. So if it costs $5 to ship the doll, I have to at least be able to sell it for $9 with shipping.
>>5693666
Sell them in lots, sell them for cheap and try to sell the more expensive/sought after dolls by themselves.
Super big doll auction happening June 8th in the UK. Vintage to retro Barbies, Takara Barbie, Sindy, Bild Lilli, Barbie fashions and accessories, Jem, Ashton Drake, etc etc.
http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/special-auction-services/catalogue-id-srspe10156?page=1
They do ship internationally. A lot of these lots are undervalued... I'm so tempted for a lot of the vintage Takara Barbies and 70s Barbies and fashions.

Not exactly a fashion doll, but here she is...
>>5702332
>600x556
Here's a high res image of the doll. To bad she wont be sold in stores. I would totally buy her.
>>5702460
Finally a She-Ra doll. Is she an SDCC exclusive or something?
>>5702460
>specially sculpted muscular MtM style articulated body
>changeable hand system
>multiple weapons
>three full outfits
I'm betting they will release a more basic version for regular retail eventually because that's a lot of effort for a one-off. Probably similar to the Ever After/Monster High/Descendants mode of each character having slightly tweaked appearances with new outfits every run.
>>5702332
>Matty Collector will accept preorders
>but you have to pick it up in person at SDCC
then what is the flying fuck point of taking preorders if the people can go to SDCC and get the doll anyway, jesus.
>>5702875
>>5703163
Honestly going to SDCC does not guarantee shit. I've been there three times and have woken up at ungodly hours to get in line and walked out with nothing. Mainly because the lines are already full with fucking shop vendors. And you want linger close because the line police tell you to not linger. It's bull.
Nowdays I just cough up the extra money during the first week on ebay. I refuse to go into the vendor's places at the con and pay their scalper prices.
>>5703237
I just quoted >>5702875 because it was discussing the SDCC release. Not because I agree or disagree with their pre-order situation. It doesn't apply to me.
Honestly, I'll keep my fingers crossed it gets a new line of She-Ra products going, but I can't justify the cost of the exclusives plus mark-up and international shipping, on top of a shitty exchange rate. If it were just the mark-up and exchange rate? I'd be happy to cough up the service fee, but the shipping kills me every time. I got lucky that I was over in the US last year for around the same time, so I was able to get a couple of exclusives I wanted without breaking the bank, but this year, it's just not happening.
The new Anastasia musical has me thinking about Anastasia again.
I always found it surprising they never came up with a "dress transforming" Anastasia to go from her peasant outfit to the yellow gown.
![ae05_main[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JqkDcP0.jpg "ae05_main[1].jpg")
The 1:6 seems so slow this year...
I mostly only see Jem, Disney, She-Ra and other merchandising for people who care alot about characters and little about fashion.
Mattel could at least release those new The Barbie Look...
She-Ra's articulation looks amazing.
>>5707174
Dang!
Also, hippie The Look Barbie is out.

Why? Because Matty was, is, and always will be a douche.
>>5710738
It couldn't have been cheap to make a new mold like this. I wouldn't be surprised if they found something to use it on again.
>>5710745

A Hippie Barbie that doesn't even show her belly.

Meh
>>5713585
Looks like her under dress has been hosed with glitter.
>>5713585
It's exactly the same as the old one but with a 'new' cheap Olaf which they package with fucking everything and have done so since the movie came out.
>>5663603
so are you guys femanons or just gay guys? I'm honestly curious
>>5715043
>And at the moment, neither is hasbro. either that, or they're doing different approaches to how to make it work.
What do you mean? Right off the bat, Hasbro has:
Marketed all the princesses and marketed them in the way that popular kid's toys today need to be marketed: as characters with distinct personalities, likes/dislikes, etc., instead of generic Barbie dolls
Released a line of budget friendly colorful dolls that hits the marks for kids (pretty and colorful clothes, all their favorite characters) and adults (they price as low as $8 in some stores).
Released a line of budget friendly little figures with a "collect them all" mentality due to the fact that all the clothes and pieces can be swapped, again great for little kids (pretty/colorful, lots of favorite characters and favorite movie moments) and adults (basic figures are $4-5, highest sets are $15-19)
And that's on top of Hasbro gradually increasing/expanding the doll line with more elaborate dolls.
>>5715154
About a 60/40 split
>>5715184
Also, Hasbro had a 41%+ growth in the first quarter of 2016, with their Disney Princess, Frozen, and Descendants dolls making up the bulk of that.
some new Star Trek barbies
>>5715386
They look better than Matty's last attempt to do Star Trek Babs.
Too bad these $20 dolls will have a $25 "adult collector" tax tacked on.
>>5715386
I need that Uhura
>>5715198
are you all fat?

Ken with joints in elbows, knees, wrists and ankles? And with real hair again? Hell yes!
>>5716162
Huh, I guess there really is no accounting for tastes. Personally, I have found The Little Kingdom dolls to be pretty bad; weird faces that look nothing like the characters, rather unattractive outfits and really bad quality in terms of the outfits or decorations actually staying on.
I think the idea has a lot of merit, but the execution is lacking.
>>5717113
Yeah I would like some decent nuTrek stuff, the 2009 Barbies look horrible and there's not that much good stuff in general
>>5716162
I wish they'd make some for Mulan and Pocahontas.
I dont normally go for Tonner dolls but I kind of want this opera viking one
I still haven't been able to find a Freddie doll in any stores. I remember reading that her case ratio was really small.
Do you think Descendants will last much longer? The dolls are rarely bought at any of the stores near me--the higher price point ($24) seems to be a big factor.
>>5718786
Has there been an Ally release?
Has the Hello Barbie been hacked to do anything cool yet?
SDCC Katana for those collecting DC Super Hero Girls.
>>5719405
Holy shit. I haven't been able to find any of the Super Hero Girls dolls in stores, but I need this. How buttfucking do you think the ebay prices will be?
>>5718923
I haven't seen her in stores but she's online.
>>5719405
Her hands look comedically small compared rest of her body

Much better than... last year's WW?
I seriously don't get Mattel's point on releasing both.
>>5719405
Fuck me, the one girl I wanted HAD to be the exclusive.
>>5719405
Is this Mulan's daughter or something ?
>>5713585
Is there a reason this Olaf doesn't include his nose? Who thought a noseless Olaf would be a good idea in the first place?

jesus fuck you're retarded
Another SDCC exclusive from Matty. Yowzers, it's the Orion Slave Girl from Star Trek! And she has a green MTM body!
Why is Matty making all these great figures convention exclusive only?
>>5721016
Olaf loses his nose a few times in the movie so they thought it would be fun. I don't like it either. This is like the 20th time they've packaged this same figure with something.
>>5722245
because they hate us
>>5722245
Aww Mattel, no.

What a beauty!
The stock photo was kind of spoiling my expectations.
Thank you for the picture. I can't wait for this one!
I love these custom Barbie miniatures. Not my photo but I wish I had them! The maker does all sorts of cool custom Barbie miniatures, usually reproductions.
What dolls are on your wishlist right now?

sexy fat or juust fat?
Do you guys like/own licca dolls?
>>5727645
I don't have any right now but they're really cute.
>>5727411
She's in the cartoon series but not yet a doll. I think they're waiting before releasing more villains.
>>5715457
I bet it's something like 58% fatties 38% gays, 3% bronies and 1% qt, and the 58% fatties all think they're the 1%.
Is it weird to like the 70s Barbie looks for their resemblance to the original Stepford Wives?
Wow. The Alice Through the Looking Glass Dolls (11") are on sale for $18 at the Disney Store. I've never seen them heavily discount the merchandise this quickly and this drastically before.
>>5728365
Cool. I might snag a few for custom bait.
>>5728365
The Stepmother doll from Cinderella live action went down to $9 but that was over a year since it went up.
>>5727411
There is currently only one wave of the dolls, but hopefully SDCC will bring us reveal of the second one. Catwoman has a pretty good shot of being included in that one, along with Hawkgirl, Cheetah and Star Sapphire.
>>5728365
I was in Wal-Mart the other day when I saw the big endcap with all the Alice dolls. The Queen of Hearts was almost sold out, but nobody had touched the man-jaw Alice dolls. I wonder why.

Back in stock at $30 ($5) off. Boo.
Sneak peek of the upcoming deluxe BATB Disney Store set. If you didn't grab a Gaston and don't want to pay asshole scalper prices on ebay, now's your chance
I have an obsession with Japanese dress up doll stickers. They cost about one dollar for a pack and they are ridiculously cute. Does anyone else like them? I'm making a sticker album.
I'm buying this next.
http://www.modes4u.com/en/kawaii/p18263_Japanese-geisha-kimono-girl-dress-up-doll-3D-stickers.html
I don't know why these aren't more common in the west, they're everywhere in asia.
I'm never sure whether to take them out of their packaging or not. So far I've been saving the packaging in my sticker book.
The packaging for these things is sometimes just as nice as the stickers themselves.
I've also seen sticker playsets.
>>5732364
No new Prince doll? Bummer.
Also, not too happy that Disney's still using the non-barge sized body for Gaston.
>>5732575
they know people can't handle the barge
>>5732656
It's too bad Disney doesn't want to invest in a buffer body mold. They could re-use it for Hercules or Mr. Incredible dolls.

Don't kill my dreams, Anon.
>>5732656
Thanks to the new upcoming Emma Watson Beauty and the Beast film Disney Store is probably going to do another $80 plus doll box set and re-release the animated version on Blu ray again. Just like with past $80 box sets you wont be able to buy the side characters like Jafar, Genie, Ursula, or Vanessa separately.
The new box set will probably include Belle, Beast, The same skinny Gaston, Philippe the horse and maybe a few mini PVC figures of the enchanted objects for only $79.99.
>>5732904
Only way we might get a buff Gaston is if they make him part of a Limited Edition Fairytale Designer doll set. Even than they might just cheat by giving him bulky, padded clothing like they do with Kristoff from Frozen.
>>5734477
Sorry If i'm being offtopic here but What the fuck is wrong with Gaston's face in the picture??? Gaston's supposed to be a sexy bitch. That sculpt makes me die of cringe.
>>5727721

No, but really I check these doll threads out at least once a day. I guess I missed it some how. Must have been do to the fact that multiple NON- doll related images of colorful Lisa Frank looking stickers were posted immediately after.

>>5732364
Not to toot my own horn here, but I was right on the money regarding what a cheap selection of actual dolls Disney would be including in the new upcoming overpriced $80 box set . I was right about everything right down to the Philippe horse and mini PVC figures of the enchanted objects.
Queen Serenity Pullip coming out. I wish I liked Pullips. I'm kind of bitter that the only new Sailor Moon dolls to come out of the years of new merchandise are this brand, blah.
>>5734629
Welcome to the world of Disney Store dolls. Get ready to pay $80 if you want him since he is no longer be sold separately for $10.
Disney only spends a little extra time and money on their pricy Limited Edition dolls. In fact the reason the Prince and Princess face molds look so nice now is because they started using the face molds from the pricey Fairytale Designer doll sets which they sold for around $140 per set after tax. >>5665504
>>5734477
Thats the old 90s Herc body right? I think I recognize those elbows.
>>5736544
Yep!
>>5736535
>Welcome to the world of Disney Store dolls. Get ready to pay $80 if you want him since he is no longer be sold separately for $10.
It won't be too hard to at least make some money back by selling off the rest of the set, if all someone wants is Gaston, at least. You could make at least $40 selling the rest of the set on ebay, if not more.
It's what I ended up doing with the $210 live action Cinderella set since I bought it just for the stepfamily.
>>5732364
I could be wrong but the horse looks like a small plush toy instead of a hard plastic horse like the one included in the Sleeping Beauty set. Just when you thought Disney couldn't get any cheaper. So much for my dream of them maybe releasing dolls of Maurice, the bimbettes, or a Lefou in this set. I should have known.
>>5736616
why would disney release 3 identical dolls?
>>5734474
I still can't get over it that the evil twin sisters in this set have their faces switched.
>>5736628
Because I want them...? Besides they aren't identical. Each one has a different colored dress. Not to mention some fierce looking footwear.
>>5736630
I got them for my birthday and noticed that there was something wrong right away. Disney fixed the issue a few months down the line and I swapped the incorrect set for the error free set. Sadly one of them had a lower hair line than the other sister did. So once Disney swapped their hair you could still see the hair line mark where the other sisters hair used to go.
I'am a guy...I will like to start collecting some barbies. .any tips on how to buy them? Or should you just stick to online shopping.
>>5736711
If you are going to buy them in stores you have a few options.
You can walk down the doll section like a boss and not give a shit about anyone who might look at you oddly.
You can go during a dead week day when you know that nobody will be there or wait for anyone that might be in the section to leave. Just try not to look creepy as you pass by to check. Don't even turn your head just look from the side of your eyes.
You can go with a female and pretend you're not even the one interested in the dolls and that you are just there keeping her company.
If you are older most people will think you are a dad shopping for his daughter, a scalper, or a collector.
If you go alone and you don't wanna give off a creepy vibe dress well. No black T-shirts or creeper wear.
Remember no matter what you have every right to go into the doll section as any woman does. Odds are if you don't talk to anyone they wont talk to you.
>>5736711
just fucking buy it without trying to justify it to strangers. No one fucking cares if you're an adult buying a doll, it's only if you're insecure and trying to tell people that you're not into dolls that people want you to leave them alone. Just buy what you want, say it's a present for someone if anyone asks then leave.
>>5736646
But why do you think Disney would actually make 3 identical dolls of minor characters who don't have a significant role in the story?
>>5736630
Let us also not forget the Charlotte doll, which has blatantly and hugely crossed eyes, and absolutely no one at Disney stopped at any point during this process and said: waaaaaaaait a minute. They released a non crossed eyed version years later.
>>5737049
>>5737047
I know they would be a long shot but I see no real reason why they couldn't have included Belles father or at least Lefou.
>>5737439
>I know they would be a long shot but I see no real reason why they couldn't have included Belles father or at least Lefou.
Because the doll set is designed to appeal to a child market. Kids want the princess, her prince, cute friendly sidekicks, and the villain. A doll of a fat bumbling father or a fat bumbling villain sidekick just aren't going to be a priority. I'm sure at least Maurice will be in the new figure set, though.
>>5737583
>A doll of a fat bumbling father or a fat bumbling villain sidekick just aren't going to be a priority.
The Little Mermaid pack included Ariel's father. Just because Belles father is a bumbling fat father doesn't make him any less lovable. It also came with not one but two villains which basically gave us two Ursula dolls.
Just saying....
>>5737604
For Triton, they had already made the doll the previous year (remember that year they had villain & friend dolls & fashion sets? good times!) they just upped the size of the mold. He's also the most obvious choice of the humanoid characters to round out the set, since the only other options would be Grimsby or the Chef. (Or one sister.) Vanessa was just Ariel with different colors, and is double engaging on a kid's level because she's a villain and a girl doll.
Making Maurice would require an entirely new body mold, new face mold, and quite frankly I'm afraid they'd do the weird beanbag thing they did with the fairy godmother.
I'm not saying I wouldn't want a Maurice doll, I'm just saying from a business stand point, Disney would consider a Maurice doll a risky and fruitless venture. Kids aren't clamoring for Maurice, in the same way they aren't clamoring for Hercules or other characters Disney ignores now.
>>5737681
Does anyone remember how the 90s dolls they only made the princess and prince and maybe some supporting friends of equal attractiveness, and then for all the older characters or villains they just included a bulky outfit and a rubber mask that popped over whatever extra Barbie you had around?
>>5738306
Not only do I remember I still have those masks.
Looks like they're finally letting out more stock of DC Super Hero Girls. Still haven't found Ivy or Harley but I was finally able to get Wonder Woman and Super Girl.
>>5739931
>more stock of DC Super Hero Girls
My local Target store has had them shelf warming since they were released. They might have sold one or two.
>>5740123
lucky! I have 5 targets within an hour drive and the only thing they kept in stock were the accessories like the shield etc
>>5739931
All my store has is Harley and Ivy. I can't find Batgirl anywhere.
>>5737604
Triton and Ursula's molds were already made years and years ago by Simba toys, and Vanessa is a recolour of Ariel. Disney isn't going to make new molds unless its for the collectors doll lines first, then they'll slowly introduce it later for the general public.
>>5737604
dem nips on triton dough
>>5684403
Did that Ken already come out? I need him.
Has anyone bought the MC2 dolls? I see them all the time. They look cute. I was wondering if their clothes fit other dolls.
>>5727645
I have 2. Still searching the basement for the 2nd one's kimono
Do you know the best place to buy them online? I'd kinda like to get a recent one.
>>5722498
well think about it. one less part, one less color of paint they have to use. if you're producing thousands of olafs, you can increase margins slightly by just not giving him a nose. doll brands have truly just stopped giving a shit because they know most kids and doll reviewers wont care about a detail like that.
Images of the new 2016 Classic Disney princess dolls with sidekick characters.
Ariel gets Flounder
Jasmine get Abu (not her pet Rajah)
Pocahontas comes with flit (not her friend Miko)
Belle comes with Chip
Sleeping Beauty comes with random generic squirrel
Cinderella comes with Gus
Rapunzel comes with Pascal
Snow White comes with generic bluebird
Merida comes with generic Bear cub
Mulan comes with Mushu
Black frog princess comes with her prince frog
Elsa comes with noseless Olaf
The males come with nothing and they put Cristoff in a new cheaper outfit.
>>5745304
Looks like Ariel's new tale is made out of that cheap stuff Mattel used to use that feels lick paper and wrinkles easily. I hope I'm wrong.
>>5727645
I do, Im pissed her arms can't go up sideways though (airplane wing style)
New Disney Store Classic Dolls are up. We're still getting Prince dolls this year... shocking. Pocahontas and Mulan have no changes again... not shocking.
>>5736521
I am so bitter about this. I might just find a customer doll o Etsy and call it a day.
New Disney Animator dolls!

I'm surprised she actually looks like Boo.
>>5731388
See, if the actual releases of Alice and Cinderella live action had contouring like this they'd be perfect. The plastic, un-subscattered skin on the hyperrealistic face is what gives them mumps face.
