Everything Disney Doll Related

[disneyfan888]

Well Rapunzel is officially sold out. I hope that everyone who wanted her got her.

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!

Every other Tuesday one of the princesses is released to go on sale via raffle system at 1pm (you show up to put your name in between 12 and 1pm drawing is at 1) local time at select Disney Store locations. At approximately 3am EST Wednesday morning they go on sale on Disney Store's website. Snow White stayed up online about 2 weeks and Rapunzel almost one week. They haven't been difficult to get thus far.

Is anyone going for Aladdin and Jasmine? I sadly decided it was better to do a Halloween party at WDW with my BFF instead. I'm excited! But sad it was one or the other

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

Welcome Kerry. Sounds like you have a great collection. Post pics! Maybe someone can go to the store and get Belle for you while you are away? I hope you can get her.

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

I'm hoping they continue with the Couples next year/summer. I would love to have Cinderella/Prince Charming and Aurora/Prince Phillip

Ahhh sorry you missed her. Maybe you can find her on ebay for a decent price at some point.

Im skipping Aladdin. Not a huge fan of the movie. But how cool that you are going to MNSSHP. One of my favorite times at the park. I hope you have a blast!

I will work on the picture! I have enlisted a friend to go hoping she makes it before they are all gone. Our local store usually gets around 30 dolls. I agree about Aladdin and Jasmine, not a bid deal there. I also agree I hope they make couples again next year. I would love to see the villains again but the men!

Wow 30 dolls! I think that's a lot, since most stores only get like 6-10. Defintely seems like better odds for you to get her.

I am going to take off the day Ariel comes out so I can be at the store for the raffle. If I don't get her then, Ill be up at 3AM hoping to get her online.

I think they will do another set of the couples next year seeing how some of the other couples are not present this time like Cinderella/Prince Charming, Aurora/Prince Phillip, Tiana/Naveen, etc.

I guess each store is given their amount based of collector sales. I think this is the most so far. With the princesses they started at like 6 then it increased as each new series comes out.

I still have no clue where Im supposed to put them. I might have to wait till someone moves out. Either the husband or kids. lol!

Leaving them in their cases does make display a challenge. I've seen pictures where people install shelving close to the ceiling and just line the dolls up around the room. I'm starting to lean in that direction since there just isn't any more floor space for cabinets. But even when you manage to find space for the dolls, you still have to find a place to store the case slip covers.

I've been thinking of the shelves at ikea that are basically coated 2x6's in 2 lengths. They're not too pricey either. Wish I had 10ft+ ceilings

Ikea is a good suggestion for wall shelves. I've never bought any, but have noticed how big that section is - a lot of variety, not only in the shelves, but the brackets too. The nearest store is about 75 miles away, so......road trip!!!!

Yea it's either near by or a fantastic voyage to get there. I didn't even walk into a ikea for the first 6 years. I don't know what I was thinking then. Lol! I love random road trips. My next trip is a over night to Portland for Voo Doo Doughnuts.

 

[Axlcat]

Okay, I have to ask. What are Voo Doo Doughnuts? They must be really good to warrant a road trip.

I don't know if their good but they've been on food Network.

I love that voodoo doll doughnut. Only in Oregon, so all I can do is envy you.

That is what I have. I have four in the guest room (two are filled with Vinyls and Disney Plush), the other two are kind of bare right now.

Then I have four in the bedroom that are a combo fo Disney and Monster High. then I ran out of room and bought a HUGE four shelf bookshelf that was going to hold my full collections of Rapunzel, Aurora, Belle and Ariel, but Im already filling that! Plus the problem is that one of them will wind up on the last shelf near the floor and it makes them hard to see.

Im thinking about moving the dolls from the shelves to the book shelf and my main collections (Aurora, Belle, Rapunzel and Ariel) will go onto the wall shelves as you can see them better. But I have to move the second set down I guess, because the dolls are too tall that I have. Its a pickle. Not sure what Im going to do right now.

Oh PS I got my Rapunzel/Flynn dolls today. They are even better looking in person. But I have one of the weird ones where Rapunzels eyes are gold not green. Seems some of the higher numbered dolls have more golden eyes than green like they were in the movie.

 

[Axlcat]

What are you doing with the case sleeves for the designer series? I would love to have them next to each case, but I'm lucky to have space just to display the dolls. I wish the tops had been made to open out so they could have been folded for storage.

That's a strange quality control issue. I'm sure the gold eyes are pretty though. The funny thing is that if there aren't that many with gold eyes, then the rareness will increase the value of the doll.

Im just keeping the case sleeve in a box so it doesnt get crushed and its in the closet of the Disney room. Errrr...uhm I mean guest room. LOL

I had to open up my Rapunzel to rearrange them, and while closing it I bent part of the back drop that slides between those little slots in the acrylic top piece. Not noticeable but annoying none the less.

 

[Axlcat]

That is exactly what I fear when opening those cases - the case cracking or the backdrop bending. I think I worry more about hurting the case than the doll inside. How dumb is that?

I'm definitely getting Jasmine and Aladdin Tuesday. Love their outfits.

 

[disneyfan888]

I think Jasmine and Aladdin are beautiful! They are my 3rd favorite couple from the series, but I am going to pass on them. I am holding off for LE Eric and now I am contemplating getting Ursula, it would be so nice to have the complete set. I am so anxious for October 1st to get here already, it's crazy!

 

[sjv919]

LE Ursula looks so cool! But I've held onto a childhood grudge xD I used to yell for my mom when Ursula came on when I was real tiny, because she scared me lmao I still watched it all the time because of Ariel, though. Now that I'm all grown up...Ursula still gives me the creeps lmao. I guess that's just a sign of a successful villain! But I want no Ursula dolls in my home haha Prince Eric, however...I've considered blowing the price on him to go with my Ariel I preordered...but I shouldn't. But that has never stopped me before xD

I know exactly how you feel! Why can't we all just win the lottery and be prepared for all these doll releases! Oh to dream! I love Ursula, she is amazing. As far as the dolls go, I was a bit annoyed about her dress tentacle design, but I saw her out of the box and it looks much better than I thought. I have to have Eric though, My 17" Ariel needs her prince by her side , I will be happy if I can at least get him. I just need Oct 1st to hurry up and get here
