DisneyStore Limited Edition 17" Dolls Discussion

Wow. No one can figure out how to get in the mall since they changed the door unlock times! Lucky for me someone let me in and I'm first in line.
 
Over 25 people at my store now...definitely a record turn out! I am surprised. I anticipated these would not even sell out same day lol. Boy was I wrong!! I don't know who I was kidding, this IS Frozen we are talking about. :lol:
 
Good luck to all of you!

I can't describe how lucky i am right now, i got all three of them! I am so excited!! :)
 
Got here just before 6 here and there were actually people camped outside the mall, lounge chair blankets and all. You'd think its Black Friday!
 
I want to frontload my message by saying I'm really, really happy for everyone who loves them and I wish you luck / congrats on getting the dolls you want. It's exciting to read everyone's posts about lining up and getting confirmation emails.

However, I'm so confused about the fanfare behind this release. I've seen several pics of the actual dolls (aside from the ones in here), and I have no idea why people are clamoring so hard. I hope this is just Frozen fever and that the future releases will be a little more normal. I've read some really absurd stories about camping out for 24 hours in the cold and getting kicked out of malls because they're locking them up and changing hours. Honestly, I'm SO GLAD I don't want any from this release.

The boxes are horrible. They look like easter eggs or dollar store rip-off dolls. I know I sound like a hater, but I actually love this line and usually sing their praises from first leaked pics, but this time I feel like everyone's blinded by love or fandom or something and not seeing these dolls with unbiased eyes. It's so weird! LOL, I feel like I'm going crazy witnessing this. I'm sorry, but Elsa and Anna look like they have jaundice or Simpson-itis. Gah!!!

That's just my opinion, of course, and I really do get excited when I read about people's happiness to get the doll(s) they wanted. It's almost like I get to live vicariously through you guys this release since it doesn't interest me, like it's the next best thing to standing in line myself.

Can't WAIT to join in the fun with the Aladdin dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Here now and there's only a few people in line....I was nervous getting here after 7, reading how many people showed up to the other stores
 
FINALLY! Also they really are so much better in person! even Elsa!

They look far better in the photos people have posted. I'm so nervous! We're trying to get a Kristoff for my nephew and i'm not sure I'm going to make it home in time to order tonight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
 
Was first in line again and was first to snag Elsa. And for those who are curious, her hair isn't as yellow as the pics made if seem. It's definitely white-blonde.

My store was actually pretty quite for a LE release, especially for a Frozen line. There was a newbie in line behind me that I chatted with (this is her first set of dolls and she ended up with all 3), and, of course, I could spot the scalpers, but not many of the usual faces.
 
I went to my store at 10:05 to pick up Neverbeast (and watch the drama), and they had 2 of Elsa and Anna left. They don't look any better in person to me. I feel like there's some kind of block between me and whatever subliminal message they infused into these dolls! It's so funny.

I passed on them and they were claimed within moments. I didn't get to see Kristoff close up, so I can only say he looked kinda meh from a distance.

I guess I'm lucky I don't like them. I can save the $500.

Congrats to all! Good luck to the rest :)
 
Got to my store at 5:30 and the doors opened at 8:00, the mall and the actual Disney store opened at 10:00. Was 1st in line, got to meet two very nice veteran collectors who were 2nd and 3rd in line, and ended up with all three dolls! They only had 8 Kristoff at my store so he sold out fast, but their were plenty Elsa and Anna's for everyone who arrived! Elsa looks georgous, especially her skin, which has a nice pearly sheen to it! I'm tempted to say that she even outshines my coronation Elsa in some aspects! My Anna has a bit too much tinsel in her hair, but is still lovely, and Kristoff looks excellent! So glad to have them! 83
 
Can someone tell me if this LE Elsa has almost like an iridescent sheen on her face? I thought I noticed it when I saw her in person but no one has mentioned anything about it. Am I going crazy? XD

@Quasimodo If you don't mind me asking, which Disney Store do you normally get your dolls from?

Please post detailed photos after you got this wedding Cindy. I really want to see her in collector's photos rather than the official ones. I don't intend to get her but I am saving for SQ Elsa...

Yes, Elsa and Anna have oily face. I'm surprised you've missed all the talk about it! In person, I found it made them look a bit like they have jaundice. The best guess I can come up with is it's supposed to make them look like porcelain? I don't know, but I don't like it.

I normally go to Yorkdale, but I work near Eaton Centre, so that's where I went today. I prefer Yorkdale because I know where to park and how to get in. Eaton Centre has no parking (well, unless I want to pay $20).

Where do you go?

If you were at Eaton Centre this morning, there was drama with a line cutter.

Maybe, these dolls are made by the same manufacturer who does the design fairy series?
