Do you think they would ever release a set of designer PRINCES? if so, do you think they would do it at this year's D23?
Do you think they would be popular? They would match with the designer princesses.

What do you think?
 
lol This was actually a huge discussion and still is in the Designer Disney Collectibles thread in the Other Disney Collectibles section ^_^ You could probably ask this there and get a few responses since Designer Princes has been posed well over 20 times haha :lol: I'm still all for Designer Heroines...
 
I met the guy who designed both the Designer Villains and Designer Princesses at the DisneyAna convention back in February, and I asked him if there was any plans on making another Designer set of some kind and he said no.

He just does t want you to know about the Designer Pets Series!!
 
plus, plans may have changed since February. the designer set are so pretty, and even tho i don't collect them, i hope they make more, just for there being more beautiful pins in people's signatures ^^
 
I would also love a designer prince set... Flynn Rider and Naveen particularly! If this set was to be made, how do people feel it would sit regarding pin value and popularity? Do you think they would be up with the designer princesses or run a bit lower like the designer villains?

Here is what he said on his Tumblr page in March:

"Are YOU going? The D23 Expo happens every other year and this one is not to be missed. The photos seen below are from the “Disney Designer Princess Collection” artist signing I did with fellow designer Sang Plumlee at the last expo in 2011. While it is still top secret what we have in store, I will again be attending this coming August. As soon as I can let you know more I will post it here on my Tumblr page first. So, if you are planning on being there, make sure to stop by and say hello. See you there!"

It doesn't confirm a "Designer" collection but something will definitely be available at the convention I imagine.
 
I like the idea of this I just didn't like the style of the princesses and wish they would re-do them. The only one that deserved an A+ was Snow White IMO. I wouldn't mind Princes. ;)

Designer Princes has been discussed a lot and the general consensus seems to be that we'd love to have them, but they have maybe a 10% chance at best of happening. I'm referring to Designer Princes by themselves btw. The reason being, if the Villains like Maleficent, Ursula, and Mother Gothel just did okay, how does Disney expect Eric, Phillip, and Adam to sell extremely well on their own without their princesses?

Heck, a lot of people don't even know his name is "Adam" in the first place! Disney Princes were and still aren't the main draw to any of Disney's movies and for that reason, the dolls (which are the main money makers for the Designer sets, the pins are just a bonus but they aren't necessary) would do pretty darn badly since besides diehard Disney fans, casual fans wouldn't really have any interest in princes.

Now as erikr said, Designer Couples has been put on the table quite a few times by cast members and others but that could just be a lie to keep up all guessing because IDK how they would fit 2 Designer Dolls in one doll box and that pin box would be huge lol :lol:

I think the most support out of all the ideas has to be the Designer Heroines which are essentially lesser known Disney females that aren't exactly princesses but are quite popular and fairly successful. The leader of the line would be Merida (considering she was just inducted into the Disney Princess line this year, Disney IS going to capitalize on her and they will want to include her in whatever they make. This makes the Designer Couples less likely if "couples" means "princess and prince" because Merida has no princes (yet). Possible contenders on the Designer Heroines line include (in no specific order):

Merida
Esmerelda
Tinker Bell (a Designer Fairies could happen but like Princes, it wouldn't be successful since most of them aren't well-known and fairy collectors are very specific)
Megara
Wendy
Jessica Rabbit
Vanellope (they made Ursula skinny, they can make her tall)
Kida
Anna
Alice
Jane

There could be others I'm not thinking but personally, I'd like to see that.
