DisneyStore Limited Edition 17" Dolls Discussion
Haven't been on in several months, it's been a quiet time for dolls! I saw over on a Youtube toy hunt video people were talking about the new Alice dolls and had to come find pictures ... Wow I don't particularly like the designs for the movie costuming at all, but these dolls are really really just ... not good. Putting it nicely. Saves me money, I guess, but Alice in Wonderland is one of my all-time fave Disney films (NOT the Tim Burton one, the original animated) and it sucks to see Disney bring out these ugly dolls and associate them with some of my favorite characters and designs :(

As for an animated Belle (and Beast!!) I can't tell you how my heart would weep for that. I'd love to get a Belle with a lovely dress, at a lovely price range, without Emma Watson's face. Hardcore wishing.
 
Finally doll season is picking up! :D I haven't been on here or checked the posts in ages but I'm glad I haven't missed anything substantial. It's a shame that there was no LE Snow White release & I don't even know where they can plug her in the future. I'm surprise not more people are talking about the LE Belle that's confirmed through sources that she'll be released in the fall :) I'm sure she won't be on her yellow outfit (since it's done) but one can dream :P lol

On a side note, I learned that DisneyWorld is celebrating their 45th anniversary this year. Is there any chance of a LE Cinderella release like they did for Disneyland Aurora? Or would it be done down the road with the 50th celebration....that would be a long wait!
 
I'm hoping for either the pink winter outfit or the green dress for Belle! Wouldn't mind if they re-do the yellow dress but I doubt it since it's been done in both 17-inch and DFDC versions. But still skeptical about that rumor of pre-order and subsequent Oct release of the animated version especially given the LA version will be coming out in less than 6 months afterward. But hey, here's to hoping (fingers crossed).
 
I am not going to buy the dolls my wallet will be happy, so that I can save some money for my disney land paris dreams pass for 2017 I still hope we will see Belle this year! because I don't the old belle. I hope this will help some new collectors to get their alice dolls :)

I think the most likely scenario is that Belle will be in her blue dress. Its her second most iconic look right behind the yellow/golden gown. Part of me hopes that they do the red snow outfit with the cape though. That outfit is just so gorgeous and I think it would translate beautifully into doll form. Plus I really don't like the idea of there being two Belle dolls in the same outfit during the same doll season (AKA the Belle and Gaston Designer Set).

I know that? I just meant that I wouldn't want two Belle dolls in the same doll season to be in the same outfit. I'm not saying anything against the dolls themselves. If they are already going to do a doll of Belle in her blue dress with Gaston, then I would like the 17" to be in the red snow outfit. Even though the blue dress is more likely seeing its more iconic and easier to market.

I'm excited to hear about all the Belle dolls rumored (the 17" one in the fall, the designer fairytale set with Gaston, and the live action LE dolls in 2017). I would love if the 17" one had her yellow dress, since the one we have now is IMO one of the worst of the 17" dolls. That is incredibly unlikely to happen though, so my next choice would be her winter outfit. I'm not sure how they can make the blue one worth the price, it's a peasant dress after all but I'm sure Disney can find a way.
 
lol if they could fancy up Aladdin's homeless outfit, they can do the same with her provincial dress. But I agree that an improved version of the first doll would be best. No hate to those who love her, but when that preorder went up in stores, I thought it would mark the end of the line since she was so unattractive. I'm excited for whatever doll is coming though since I'm sure she'll be a lot nicer.
 
This will be my second year of actively collecting during doll release season. And I'm looking forward, to seeing what they do with Belle. Both the animated and live action versions. Of her dresses, her blue one is my favorite. Yes the golden one is lovely but they already used that one last time. Would Disney honestly reuse a dress for the animated version. Perhaps they would save it for the live action film dolls. That's just a guess, I have zero inside knowledge.
 
I'm not digging the LA Alice dolls either. Not at that price, they are just larger versions of the Classic Dolls. Time would have looked great in this scale, it's weird they didn't make him. The Red Queen looks cool.

Good points with possibly having two Belle dolls in the blue dress this fall, but theres some options for the Hero's Vs. Villains set. When and Belle and Gaston are on screen together she's wearing blue, so she'd be in that either way, but maybe they can have them wearing the capes from the end of the movie, with Gaston holding either the bow and arrow, the spike or probably the dagger? The most pivotal scene.

They can also do the scene where Gaston tries to propose and is all dressed up.

It does make you wonder then what the new 17" dress will be. If it's the blue dress again it would be a little bit of a let down if the dolls aren't different somehow. I think the pink winter dress would be so much nicer, so that if they DO make 17" Beast they can have him with his winter shirt on from "something there that wasn't there before." Or if they aren't doing a cape for the Designer set, the 17" Belle could be wearing her cape from when she enters the castle, maybe with a small Lumiere figure. Wishful thinking it would be that cool and different. I know only 17" Belle is rumored, but Beast or Gaston I would be tempted to get. It would be way too soon for a Live Action BatB doll so if the rumor is true is has to be from the cartoon.

Lmao I was leaning toward the pink or the green outfit just because those are the nicer outfit and the blue outfit, while the second most iconic outfit, seemed to plain to be made into a LE but you're so right, I completely forgotten about Aladdin's street rat outfit glammed up! :rofl:

Snow white's 80th anniversary is in 2017, so hopefully they will release more merchandise and an Le doll. Seeing as they are releasing a new Le belle doll, it makes sense that they will do it for Snow White as well; i think the reason they didn't release any merch is because they intended to release pinochio first instead of Snow White, but for some reason they released Snow White first......so I'm guessing their merchandise wasn't ready yet.
 
So does anyone here know if the release date for the Alice dolls is officially Monday May 30th? I ask because I called one of my local Disney Stores and they had no idea what I was talking about
 
I confirmed today that my local Disney Store in the USA will have the alice dolls on Monday 5/30/16 which I think is a huge mistake! I for one will not be going to the store due to the holiday.............

sorry for the super large images but thought it would be good to post these. i think they look pretty great, except the platinum set.
 
I actually like Alice and the Red Queen. However, i think the Platinum Set still isn't worth it. Platinum Alice looks very cheap compared to Single 17'' Alice.

Still, not releasing a 17'' White Queen is such a missed opportunity. She could have been so amazing.

I really like the dolls in their boxes, except the Platinum Set...

Seeing the the HQ doll pics is great and as expected they look far better than in the initial pics. I am going to pick up Alice and the Red Queen and as usual I am passing on the platinum set as it's far to much money and really doesn't look like it's worth it. Can't wait to get these dolls on May 30th!!

If they are releasing a LE doll of Belle, and The Art Of, for the anniversary then maybe this will be true for the others. I still hope for The Evil Queen LE doll !!
