I just got two new Ariels, a Mermaid Ariel and a Wedding Ariel, yesterday (Saturday) at the Disneyland Resort. They are both labeled as The Little Mermaid, rather than as Ariel, and are part of the Disney Parks Collection. They are co-released by Disney Theme Parks Merchandise and EuroDisney (Disneyland Paris). They both come in semi-cylindrical tubes, and sell for $17.95.
One is Ariel as a mermaid. She is wearing a shimmering green gauze skirt and a large green starfish shaped hair clip with a green jewel. She also comes with a purple hairbrush with a green jewel. She has been the regular 12'' Ariel available at DLR for a while now.
The other Ariel is dressed as a bride. She is in a white satin and gauze wedding dress with blue trim, and gauze veil. There is glitter on the veil and outer gauze skirt. She is also wearing a tiara with a blue jewel, and comes with a white brush with a blue jewel. According to the Disney CM, she become available only recently. Her appearance and her dress are not quite as pretty as the Once Upon a Wedding Ariel, but I am very happy I got her.
Here is a photo of these two Ariels, followed by another where they are joined by the Once Upon a Wedding Ariel:
