Best numbers :)
Unless you have no 1/xxxx or 5000/5000 it means nothing.
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.
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.
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.
