Heroes & villains collection first look

[Romancing_Train]

I would love a Peter Pan or Alice in Wonderland set, but I just don't see that happening. Disney will probably stick to the same Fairytale Collection characters they keep doing. However, personally, I will be glad if we get a Belle/Gaston and Snow White/Evil Queen combo. SW and Belle are my favorite characters and I don't have any dolls of them.

I think Belle and Gaston are pretty likely...


I'd LOVE a Tiana Facilicer one...but I doubt it happening ever ;w;

Also, I read on facebook that lines for the d23 store are 9-12 hours long and you're not allowed to leave, even for a bathroom break. Yikes. D:

That problem will be greatly alleviated this year, so I wouldn't worry about that.

I have mixed feelings about the Ariel: I love her tail and her perch, however the shirt could be greatly improved upon. The design for it is downright beautiful, but the translation on to product is lacking. I heard that these dolls were production samples and are not the floor model, so there's great room for improvement.

Lately when there's been highly-plausible leaks they have ended up being the final product (e.g., the Frozen Fever Classic dolls), so I think this is it. I don't know why they forewent the classic shell bra, it's a winner for a reason. I think Ursula and Ariel would still look great, deboxed.

I just have a thought. Maybe there's a big chance that we'll have a non-D23 Exclusive SQ Elsa & Hans set. Since 17" SQ Elsa is now more than $2000 and the edition size is only 2500, DS may take this chance to make a 12" SQ Elsa & Hans to meet the heavy demand of SQ Elsa. Besides, To make a non-D23 variant, just changing the color of the coronation outfit seems unlikely since the D23 variant already used the outfit from movie and do that would make non-D23 variant be more special.

I am baffled as to why these are already out for sale without even being released, regardless if these are the real dolls I am very underwhelmed with the Ariel and Ursula one...

 

[Selithiel]

Tbh I'm so bummed that Coronation Elsa is exclusive to D23. I know I'm the odd one out on this, but I prefer Coronation Elsa to Snow Queen Elsa any day.

Maybe they would just take the accessories out but still the coronation outfit.

I am not happy with the dolls. Ursula and ariel look like friends and elsa and hans look like they are flirting. Ariel her tail is beautieful but that shirt is just stupid what mermaid would wear a shirt it would not work under the sea. Elsa her dress looks so lose on her skin. I hope they are not the final form and that ariel Will get a Shell Bra. I mean how the hell are mermaids supose to make a shirt under the sea

It looks like tjhey may have been stolen. The seller also has the D23 Exclusive Evil Queen and Snow white from once upon a time that's supposed to be at D23 this year.

 

[blairbearbear]

it's really odd how ariel and ursula are positioned, usually they try to recreate the poses from the art right?
but here they look nothing like the artwork... instead they look like they are sitting outside the doctor's office waiting for their appointment.

i really want to see all the dolls of this line but i'll most likely pass on them, they look too familiar to past releases.

 

[Cheyenne]

If the Elsa/Hans set is the D23 variant, wouldn't it be interesting if they put Anna and Hans together for the normal set? Just a thought.

Oooh, this is a very good idea, and I hope it's true!!!!! Because I would rather have Anna and Hans then Elsa and Hans. Fingers crossed that is what Disney does!

 

[poisonivyprince]

I seriously was wanting some single dolls for this set or at least a villains part two. I hope the remaining sets will be pretty. Im still excited but was expecting something different I quess. and im really wanting to see how theyre going to handle the remaining fairies. need a Terrence and a Queen clarion.

It would be nice, but unlikely as the variants have, so far, been a different colored dress for the doll.
D23 2011: Silver Cinderella
D23 2013: Golden Snow White

I know, I was just hoping. Since they have been different colored dresses in the past, I just don't know how they would make Elsa's "dress" different this year if this IS the variant. Others have stated that they will probably take out the accessories for the NON variant, but that seems a little weird to me, and not much of a difference to make the D23 dolls special.

I hope they only take the accessories out but don't touch anything else. I can't imagine what it'd be like if they change the color of the coronation dress.

I agree. To make D23 more special, they shouldn't use the ordinary color from the movie but a different one.

Are we not going to discuss the probability that this might be the regular set just with a d23 sticker on it? I mean, the D23 variant could have different colors, they just mistakingly put it on this one... Also, isn't the D23 sticker usually bigger and placed somewhere else on the cover?

Possible but unlikely - I could be wrong, but I don't recall that they put the D23 stamp on the regular dolls in the collection, only the exclusive. However a mistake as you said is possible.

 

[Matthewlondon]

Maybe it's just exclusive for the assesories and lower edition size, it doesn't seem that special but heck people will buy whatever Disney put out anyway. Does anyone actually think this person who is selling these dolls doesn't work for disney? For him to have these exclusive dolls so far ahead of their release he must working for the company and really no ones that stupid to sell all these exclusive dolls, disney would easily track the seller through ebay seen as only one person is selling them and he would be sued! I think disney did this leak deliberately to garner interest for the dolls and hype etc.

I guess it's possible. Best case scenario, they should be able to use the feedback from the leaks as a way to improve the design quality, but let's not get our hopes up on THAT, lol. Worse case scenario... well, I'm not sure what that would be, probably something along the lines of this whole thing being one really massive prank, but I honestly don't think anyone would be that cruel.

Welp looks like I'll be dishing out a fair amount. I definitely want Peter Pan & Hook and Rapunzel and Mother Gothel and very likely Jasmine depending on what she ends up looking like.

Ohhh I hope you are right (thought I still dunno how I feel about a Hag designer doll)! If this ends up being the line up, I will be going for Peter Pan and Captain Hook for sure and I might go after Rapunzel and Gothel. I just hope Aladdin and Jafar or Genie get dolls.

I honestly don't know how people find out about the dolls and pins before they are even released. I saw Elsa & Hans. I heard a rumor about the Once Upon A Time dolls which I mentioned to a very reliable friend and she sent me a picture of them. I was like What! As in disbelief.
My friend Robbie is going off the deep end over Peter Pan & Hook. It will be the first ever two male characters. Hoping for a set of pins to send Rob his Peter & Hook. I would keep Elsa and Hans. And the others will start me off to get back into trading.

 

[tinkerbelle1956]

I know that feeling kaleb.. I want Elsa & Hans, Peter & Hook, Once Upon A Time Dolls, the pin set and Art Of Jasmine pin. I like dreaming. LOL
I know I'll at least get the dolls.
