Hi i am just curious as to what are the lowest or special numbers on your dolls this could mean anything from your lowest number or your most special number (eg1234) for me my lowest number is my designer Snow White which is 310
 
For numbered limited edition DS dolls, the closest I have to #1 is my 17" LE Alice at #019/500 (see pic). :) The CoA numbers I like the most are my Designer Snow White doll at #0330/6000, because of the symmetry (I don't think I ever took pics of my Designer Princess doll CoAs); and also my 17" LE Queen of Hearts doll at #069/500, because that was the same unit number as the first apartment I rented out on my own.

That was a little harsh. I think we're all aware of that, but I'm pretty sure that OP wanted to ask out of curiosity.

Agreed. Also, different numbers are going to mean different things to different people. Take birth years, for example. Or if I were the person who had Designer Pocahontas #1607/4000, I'd value her way more than #0001/4000 or #4000/4000. Like with all things in collections, people will hold a value to things (or certain numbers) for their own reasons. :)

I agree and I noticed that some people post on their listings on eBay that they have a low numbered doll but to be honest doll 1 will still be the same as doll 3000, its just that the numbered COA that the 3000th doll got was higher but it xould in fact have been produced before doll 1. So there is no actual value added by getting a lower doll but it is just the perceived value as most people value a lower pr the highest number due to the first/last syndrome.

I admit that I checked all of the COAs of my dolls with the hope of having a low numbered one and actually jotted them down as it was something I thought would be great to know and keep a record of (especially since it is very hard to get to the COAs in the LE line). Also if there were two dolls that were the same but one had a lower Number than the other but was exactly the same I would probably buy the lower numbered doll just coz I think that it is cool. But if I were to get a doll's number that matched my birthday or had a number significant to me, that would mean more than a lower numbered doll.
 
Thankyou guys
I love looking at the number of my dolls ALMOST as much as getting the actual doll haha
I know that it doesn't add any value unless you have lowest or the highest
but I just have this fascination with these numbers because its just one more thing to make your doll more personal to you
^^
 
I just checked my little book where I wrote all the edition numbers of my dolls and it looks like Rapunzel Designer is my lowest at 92, she's even lower than my D23 Silver Cinderella LOL.

Unfortunately none of my other dolls have numbers that mean any significance to me personally but still is am very happy with my collection. Also I don't know what number my Snow is as she is sealed and I noticed that The Jack and Sally dolls do not have a numbered COA. It just says its limited to 2000.
 
My lowest is my LE Lady Tremaine at 766/1500. I wish it was 666 given that she is a villain I think it would have been cool haha. My second lowest is LE Mother Gothel at 999/1500 and that one is also close to 666 haha.
 
One of my coolest numbers is probably that I got set 101 for the designer villains. The reason I like it is cuz cruela is 101 for 101 Dalmatians.
 
Yeah, so this thread finally got under my skin and I had to know what my numbers were.
First off...GAH! NEVER AGAIN! Putting that plastic cover back on my 17" dolls was an ordeal! This time, I'm saving the numbers on something other than a note card...that I eventually end up misplacing. 0.o

I actually almost had a heart attack too. I read that my Tremaine was 1 of 1500...but I was reading the side with the other languages. Instead, she is "568". She was the closest to being a "cool number". (Funny fact, my 17" Gothel is "547"...she couldn't have taken a "3" and saved the "7" for my Tremaine...Gah!") ;) The other one that was close to being a "cool number" is my designer Gothel that is "6333". Also, my Cruella is "6561". Since her last name is DeVil, it would have been cool if she was "6661" or, you know, just "666". But...alas...no. ;)
None of my other dolls have a number that activates my OCD radar though.

My favorite numbers are 3 and 27. (Cause 27 = 3 x 3 x 3...which is also a set of three 3s...I told you, OCD) Also, since I only collect villain dolls, it would be really cool to get a doll that is number "666", like LordTremaine said. ^ (If I got a 17" Maleficent that was "666"...I'd probably be so truly shocked, excited, and freakin terrified!) :D
Also, after all this...I still can't help but wonder if any two dolls have the same number (on either their certificate or printed on their back) by accident. There's always that chance...*cue dramatic soap opera fade to commercial music*

Wow! Congratulations! I'm so jealous! I was kind of hoping that my Designer Villains pre-order set would be #101 for that same reason that it would be the perfect number for Designer Cruella de Vil. I ended up getting the close number of doll set #106. :)
 
Here are the numbers for all of mine and my mom's LE dolls in order from highest to lowest. They don't really have any special meaning to me, but they might to you guys =) I think Belle's number is my favorite for the repetition , then Cinderella cause it's almost the same as Belle's only 100 away! Then Merida and Elinor because 7 squared is 49, and then Alice's because it is the lowest one I have. Unfortunately I can't see what number my Snow White is because her box is taped shut and I am afraid to take the tape off =(

My dolls:
Wedding Rapunzel - 3944 of 8000
Cinderella - 3837 of 5000
Rapunzel - 3219 of 5000
Belle - 3737 of 5000
Merida - 2251 of 7000
Tiana - 2194 of 5000
Mother Gothel - 1090 of 1500
Lady Tremaine - 1063 of 1500
Merida and Elinor - 749 of 2500
Queen of Hearts - 307 of 500
Sgt. Calhoun - 170 of 1000
Alice - 149 of 500
Ursula - 13 of 2000
Prince Eric - 317 of 1500

Mom's dolls:
Wedding Rapunzel - 4109 of 8000
Rapunzel - 3665 of 5000
Belle - 2988 of 5000 (Actually my brother's for his future daughter)
Cinderella - 1485 of 5000
Merida - 1433 of 7000
Merida and Elinor - 1156 of 2500
Lady Tremaine - 833 of 1500
Prince Eric - 1222 of 1500
Ursula - 1432 of 2000

I think one of the coolest ones I know personally though is my best friend has 1215 of Cinderella, which I thought was awesome because her birthday is December 15th

My 17" Snow White is the only one of my dolls with a considerably low LE #, she is #17! :) I was a little surprised when I took it out and saw it haha. It doesn't "really" mean anything but I do wonder if there are differences in the dolls from the first ones produced to the last, even if they are subtle?

I doubt there would be any significant variances as I would imagine they are produced on a production line. Also the fact that the CoA number is lower does not necessarily mean that the doll was produced earlier than a later number one. Don't forget that the COAs are just cards that they add to the doll I am assuming after they have all been produced. I don't believe they stamp the dolls themselves with a production number and then match that against the COA, if they do I haven't seen it, then again I haven't deboxed my dolls either.

The individually numbered LE dolls (the 17" LE dolls and the Designer dolls) actually are individually stamped with the edition number on their lower backs (ex. you may see something like: 0330/6000 on the back of a Designer Snow White doll, which matches the CoA). DRJ1828 took some pictures of some of the dolls' back stamps.

That said, I think any differences you may find on a doll are purely in the hands of the people working each production line, which explains why some dolls of a certain collection and character may not look 100% the same even though they are supposed to. Take for instance, the lacings on Designer Rapunzel's corset: some dolls have five crossovers of the pink silk cords and others have six, even though they should all look the same. Another good example is the 17" LE Wedding Rapunzel dolls: some have the shorter eyelashes, while others have the longer eyelashes.

My apologies ElysionsPrincess I guess the dolls do have the edition number stamped on them too. I don know if this is the case for all LE dolls or just the designer dolls but it looks like Disney does stamp the production number and matches I against the COA. Thanks for clarifying that Shivatopia.

Tha being said granted you would expect some of the garments/add ons to be different and have slight variances but wouldn't the actual doll itself be the same, since they are produced fom molds? It would be cool though to compare mine with others and see if there are any significant variances.
 
Hey guys,

Merida is my lowest at 301, but I know my Rapunzels (4282 and 2205) by heart because they were my first collector disney dolls and I love them :)
but I would die if I got an Aurora with 1959 (or any doll with a number matching their film's release year). that would be so cool.
 
Yeah my merida is now one of my lowest as well at 199

Is that the LE and designer? And that's impressive
i couldn't remember my first who was lady tremaine,
but I don't love her as much as my rapunzel lol :D

Yeah I can imagine that aurora would be a most wanted for a lot of people,
Like getting a 1992 jasmine ><
