I can't get the front of the plastic box open on Rapunzel and Flynn. I said the same thing about Flynn looking like he wants to kill her! Lol. So I want to turn his head and let down her sleeve (wth is it even doing, btw), but the front part is stuck or something Sinister Flynn and the Magical Floating Sleeve. They're stuck that way! Lol

I had trouble with the front of the box too. When it finally did come loose, it sounded like a crack and my heart stopped, but it was just the piece that was stuck coming loose. If you just keep working at it gently, it will finally come free. I do not like to open these boxes at all but I had no choice since Rapunzel's head was rotated all the way around. Flynn was probably making the hairs on her neck stand up so she was turning around to see what he was up to. But because just her head turned she looked freakier than Flynn ever could. When I saw her in the store like that I almost asked if they could get me another one, but there were people waiting in line, plus most of the photos I have seen of her told me her head would need to be adjusted anyway.

I think you won't regret getting Rapunzel. Her dress is so beautiful. Someone on another site described Flynn as looking like he wants to kill Rapunzel , but it's just the way they posed him in the box. If you turn his head slightly to look at the lantern, he looks much friendlier. This particular set does boost the argument for de-boxing, but I think if you display the box at an angle, it looks okay.

When I compare the edition sizes of the Designer Princesses, it is crazy how Ariel remains so high on the secondary market, but it shows how popular she is. I want all these dolls, but I also want them at a reasonable price, so it will be years before I have the entire collection. I collected the Hard Rock Barbies, and got all but the first one when they were released. I still do not have #1 because I don't want to pay so much for her. I just need to get her as a birthday or Christmas present for myself so I can complete the collection. This is what I will have to do with Ariel someday.

Its so crazy! Ive seen the other Designer Princess dolls for $100-$200 but Ariel is always hovering around $300-500. I'm bidding on a Belle today but don't want to spend more than $200 and I shouldn't even be doing that. LOL

you guys are cracking me up. The exorcist Rapunzel with the magical floating sleeve.

The DS was sold out, so I broke down and ordered her from the site. I just knew that I would regret not getting them now. Its painful to see how much the Designer Princesses are on ebay, given what they originally retailed for. And I know that will happen with the Fairytale collection, although not as high since they are not selling out right away.

I'll just be paying them off over the next year. LOL

Now how to earn some more money?

 

[Axlcat]

I read that Snow White did sell out online, so I expect Rapunzel to go even quicker. They may not sell as high on Ebay as the Designer Princess series, but they will always be higher than what I can get them for now. Hopefully, Disney will wait awhile to release the next series to allow us to recover financially.

 

[sjv919]

I heard from a manager at my DS that the other 5 will be released next year. I don't know how true that is, however!

 

[Axlcat]

As much as I love this Fairytale Collection, I really hope they wait several months to release the rest. That way I can allocate money for the Designer Princess and 17" LE dolls I need.

 

[sjv919]

I love the 17" dolls so I agree I hope they chill out after this! I'm dying for Rapunzel in the purple dress and Belle. I don't have $300+ for a doll though sad. But I'm getting Ariel! And have my cinderella, Merida, and Rapunzel in her wedding dress. But alas, I am never satisfied haha

I heard the same thing. I hope its true too because I will not be able to afford them if they come out this year. I am really looking forward to the LE Frozen dolls if they come out. I am happy that my sister ordered the set of designer dolls and is giving me the Ariel and Rapunzel which were the ones I wanted . So with this set I know Ariel is secure. Crossing my fingers for LE Eric. While I like Ursula's face and glossy look, I am not a fan of the "dress" type design they did for the LE version that will be released. I would have loved to see her in full tentacles like the villains dolls that were released in the early 2000's. I think that version has been the best Ursula version to date.

 

[Tinkerboy00]

I think Snow White just sold out the other day, so that was almost two weeks she was on the set.

I checked this AM and Rapunzel is still listed on the site.

I don't think Jasmine will sell out very quickly at all. I'm guessing that Ariel will be the fastest selling and the hardest to get.

I agree. I will do the raffle at the store for her even though I don't think she will sell out online in minutes. Best not to take any chances. Ursula is the one I am really concerned about. I know I have no chance online, and trying to buy her at the store sounds hopeless too.

Don't lose hope! You really never know. While unfortunately there are people out there that only want to buy these dolls to make a profit, I have been hearing and reading mixed reviews for the LE Little Mermaid dolls that will be released on October 1st. Yes they are more likely to sell out quicker since they are a smaller edition size, but you really never know. I collect everything Little Mermaid and I am going to pass on the Ursula doll. I think she looks great overall, but I am not a huge fan of this particular doll. I am going to try to get Eric so that I can place him next to the LE Ariel, I think that will look cute. Even so, I am not crazy about Eric's hair on this doll. His face looks great, but his hair....
Don't give up hope! Good luck!

 

[Axlcat]

Thanks for giving me encouragement. I am going to try to get Ursula but if I don't succeed, she will just be one more doll on the checklist to get another day. Counting Ariel coming out next month, I will have a grand total of 2 of the LE dolls, so if unsuccessful, I won't be upset for long. I did convince myself to let Eric go because I have to draw the line somewhere and it's going to have to be with the princes. Best of luck to you too!

That's what I'm worried about. I have no plans to get any of the couples except for Ariel and Eric, mostly because of the cost. Ariel is my favorite princess and has been since I was a little girl, so naturally the Little Mermaid couple takes priority over the other four. It doesn't help that I recently got into doll collecting and have just discovered the Disney limited edition dolls, haha. I missed out on the 17" Ariel by a couple of days, and I'm really going to have to save up if I want to get the other designer princess Ariel off eBay. I would love to get Ariel and Eric as my first limited edition doll(s). If I'm able to get the dolls, I need to decide if I should wait until the next morning to get them or stay up late (I will have to order online as I don't have a store nearby). Because the Snow White and Rapunzel dolls didn't sell out as fast as I thought they would and the price is kind of high, I'm hoping Ariel won't sell out that fast. But since learning how popular Ariel is, I may just suck it up and stay up late (I live in EST zone) to be safe. I'm usually a night owl, but it's kind of hard when you're a college student with morning classes... *sigh* Decisions, decisions!

Im going back and forth about the LE Eric too. I think I really am going to try to get Ursula beause I like this one better than the Designer Villian because she looks closer to her character. I agree about Eric's hair, its really bad.

good luck trying to get the couples! I hope all the collectors who want them are able to.

I know Im stalking ebay hoping to catch the Designer Princess Ariel at a good cost. I just saw some of the new LE Ariel that is coming out in Oct on ebay and some were not that much more than the retail for those who maybe missed out on her.

Ive decided to take off the day that Ariel/ERic come out and hit the store for the raffle. If I don't get them, Ill try that night online.

Next one up is Jasmine/Aladdin. Anyone planning on getting them?

 

[Axlcat]

I plan to do the raffle for the 3 remaining Fairytale sets, but the only one I think it's necessary for is Ariel.

I hope the stores use the raffle system for the LE Eric/Ursula dolls. I know the small release size means very few dolls to each store, which then means the odds of your name being drawn are poor to none. But I find that more appealing than lining up early outside a store (or mall in my case), only to learn they ran out before your turn. People can become quite ugly in first come, first served situations - pushing, shoving, fighting - so I'd like to avoid the possibility of that.

I can't believe it took me 2 months to find this. I have 8 of 10 designer princesses (no Snow (one of the web site crashes at 12:02am sales) and 2 people short in line for Pocahontas) I have all the Villains and the first 2 couples. I really love the Lenox Figurines.

Hoping I can order Belle online were going to be on the DVC Member Cruise when its released. Crossing My Fingers!!!!! dde33dde01

I agree with LE Ursula, she is much better than the designer Ursula. I did not like designer Ursula at all and did not purchase her. I really can't do both Eric and Ursula so I am shooting for Eric, but I admit it would be nice to have the entire set. I have been looking for designer Ariel too, but I refuse to pay those outrageous prices. I understand these dolls do go up in value, but it is so sad that many people purchase these dolls feeding on those odds and depriving the collectors who truly want them.

I think Jasmine and Aladdin look fantastic, they are my third favorite couple in the series, but I am happy with Ariel & Rapunzel
If they do another set of couples I am hoping to get Aurora maybe Pocahontas and hopefully Elsa/Anna if they are included. I am on love with Frozen

 

[Axlcat]

I really love the Lenox Figurines.

I'm not even going to look at these. While searching for the LE and Designer Princess dolls on Ebay I have discovered both the Enesco Couture De Force and the Romero Britto Princess figurines, and I want them all.

You totally twisted my arm and I HAD to LOOK! I think I Love them both. Dangerous! I need another house.

So sad... We just got back from vacation and I forgot about these dolls. My daughter wanted Rapunzel but they are sold out. Maybe she will be happy with one of the others. What time EST are they online? And it is the day after they go on sale in the store? Thanks!
