yes. I think her hair actually is not thicker just after 2 CMs from the top braid goes tighter this is a reason why it looks this way. :| I always wonder are those braids made by machine or hands. they are weird as hell . most of them. at first I should wash the curl cz its gelled and hard as stone. this years LE dolls designer ones too have lots of flaws. in paint hair and details. this is my first LE doll (with Hans/Elsa set) but classic dolls from 2011-13 have higher quality.

If I were you, I wouldn't wash the gel on the top of her head. I did that with the classic Elsa doll, then added gel to her bangs, and it didn't end up the same as when I first bought her. One more thing, be careful brushing her hair since the tinsel can unravel.

no I'm not going to even debox her. I will cover full doll with cellophane and will open just braid. I'm scared more with those flowers. I did same with my classic Elsa :| cz her hair was messed and it became more messy after water. I washed it full and she looked as Amy Winehouse in the end I gave her to my friend and bought new.
RULE N1 never wash Elsa's head.

P.S. as I see Anna has more stable hairstyle

I would really love to see some starwars limited edition dolls... The Leia last year was really cool... Could you imagine an 18 inch queen amidala though?

*flails* I would give ANYTHING for LE Star Wars dolls! Luke would be my personal dream, but Amidala/Leia would make more sense and also be super-crazy-awesome.

Well if your going to leave Elsa in the box, remember that her hair is tacked to her dress, and you will have to remove her flowers. The flowers don't look hard to reapply since you can just sew them back on.

Sigh... I tried to order FF Anna & Elsa from the German site; PayPal was malfunctioning, so that didn't work. My husband tried to order them for me from the UK site at the same time, but then I panicked, he tried to help me, and then they were sold out. So I ordered them from the US website the next day and they arrived yesterday... I received 2 Elsa's instead of an Elsa and an Anna! Ugh... I already contacted Disney, but I have no idea what they intend to do, since Anna is, of course, sold out... :-(
 
Oh good Lord, that's awful!

Maybe they screwed up like with my order and sent an extra Elsa and Anna will still come? Fingers crossed for a good resolution!
 
If Disney want $$$$ then they should do Leia and Amidala either as sets of dolls or one doll with wardrobe sets (like Franklin Mint did with Rose from Titanic)

I could see a Luke doll selling most definitely... And I would buy a Hans solo doll.

a lot of people had this mistake. It's so weird!!! I hope they resolve it. If not you can always trade an Elsa for an Anna locally :D
 
Just wanted to have a little 'squee' moment with you all - I got my first 17" doll! Well, I won't get it properly until Christmas, but it arrived today. It's the standard release Cinderella, and my brother bought her for me for Christmas. She arrived today, like I said, and Mum inspected her to make sure she was in good condition. The seller hadn't even removed her from the shipper box, so this was the first time she was opened and she's just so beautiful.

Just need to work out where she'll sit now... I really only collect 12" at most >< But yes! So excited for her, and she's so beautiful and guh. I don't know if this has necessarily given me the "bug" for the 17" dolls, but I do know I would like at least one other and that would be Merida because she's my girl. It's just watching out for a good price for her now.
 
As I wasn't able to pick up FF Anna i'm going to try for her on Ebay, is there a time of year when prices are lower for LE dolls? Should I buy now or wait until after Xmas? I really don't know what to do!!

If you see her for a good price then I would say go for it. Just check what she has been selling for and how many are available for sale. I have found that prices are a bit higher before Christmas, but I have scored some deals on auctions on Christmas day and Christmas eve.

You can follow searches which will put all the searches that match the keywords of your search, so for example I'm following 'limited edition Tiana dolls' and there are several Tiana postings on my home page either the 17 inch or the designer...

thats also how how I got my Ariel for a good price, I just watched for a while then jumped when I saw a great price.

^this!

Also I see that you're from UK, I'm from Italy! The problem with european ebay sellers of LE Disney dolls are that most of them are vicious and only care about money and they put up some crazy prices! On the other hand even though prices on the us ebay are so much cheaper there's the problem with the shipping who personally really scares me (it's a long trip and the chances that the item get damaged are higher!) and, also, with the import charges that with dolls like Rapunzel, Anna coronation, Elsa SQ, Ariel, etc are really expensive! Btw if I were you I'd buy FF Anna right away and definitely not wait too much! Just find the best price, doll, box, etc and go with it! For example I was able to get two really good deals! I bought Jafar on ebay just one week ago for 100 euros! (with a 10% coupon *-*) and paid 130 euros (just 10 euros more than the retail price! and it was hand delivered <3 best thing for a collector *-*) for Cinderella Live action (she's sooooo gorgeous!)
Btw I wish that you will find her for the best price possible! =)
 
I hate that the boy dolls aren't selling as well because I really don't want Disney to get the idea fans don't want them... There are sooo many male characters I'd love to see Flynn, Naveen, Cinderella Prince Charming, Beast (Adam or ??? Lol), Hercules.... And that's not even mentioning villains.

could you you imagine a hades doll? The box art alone would ruin me.



-& it'll probably never happen but BH6 dolls ;~;





-& this will never happen but a tour guide Barbie limited edition doll. *.*
 
I've been reading here quite a while.
I'm looking for the Frozen Harrods set cause I have finally saved enough but I can't post an ask thread in the wanted/sale forum as I haven't enough posts. Still I don't want to spam the forum with random posts just to have 30. Would anyone help me please? Thank you.

I would love an le toy story Barbie! Although I would prefer the toy story 3 Barbie since she plays a more prominent role. The only problem with that is that they would have to get permission from Mattel to use the name and the face possibly. Although someone can always make an ooak le Barbie with the le Aurora doll.

I really hope so! We need all those LE boy dolls <3 I would love to get Flynn, Hercules, HADES <3 <3 Beast too (even though i'll probably be scared of the results! it would definitely be hard to make him!! but i'd love to have him!)
obvs we deserve a 17" Hans u_u
and it would be soo cool if disney decided to make a LE line for the 20th anniversary of the hunchback of notre dame <3 i'd get them all! esmeralda, phoebus and frollo! i'm just dreaming :/ they'll never make one :(

btw it's obvious (i hope!) that the "princess movie" diamond edition this year will be either mulan or pocahontas, they're the only one left! who would you think they'll choose this year? I love them both but I really want Mulan <3 she's my fav and It'd so great to see her with two dresses (maybe they'll make one a d23 exclusive like slave jasmine?), the first one being the one in the end and the second one being the soldier one <3 i love them both!

I'm pretty sure they will include Pocahontas and Mulan eventually. They are part of the princess lineup ;even if they aren't the most popular ones, I'm sure they will make them. I'm thinking that they will probably have a low edition number though, and I can imagine them being available on the website for days.

Yeah, Mulan and Pocahontas will probably end up where the princes have been, edition number wise. 3500 at the very most, I'd say.
