Alice: Through the Looking Glass (2016)
I went to the Florida Mall this evening and they still had 4 red queen and 4 Alice. I only purchased the red queen since I don't really care for the Alice doll. I was surprised that the red queen was still available.
I for one am happy these aren't popular. It was mostly stress free (though the $1500 Canadian I spent is a different kind of stress), which I miss from the earlier days of collecting. The BatB movie next year won't be so easy.
I'm looking forward to all the little details on hatter. I love that he's wearing actual rings and has so many accessories. Plus we all know that these dolls never look good in pics.
However I'm SO SO SO excited--I hope it's okay to say that <3
Regardless of all the hate, I KNEW the set would sell out in moments. They lasted about two minutes longer than I expected, but it was lucky for me because I ran into issues checking out. I'm pretty sure most of the sets on the secondary market will sit there--unless the in person pics make them look so much better collectors change their minds. I for one can tell based on pics how good they're going to look (after years of practice translating the ugly blog pics lol)
$750 is still a lot so I doubt you'll regret your choice

100% allowed. Plus, I'm expecting you to be one of the collectors who posts the purty pix that will make me wonder if I shoulda ... Ha ha ha.
Now that the hype is over and no one is even talking about it, I for one want to say I LOVE the live action movie dolls and these were amazing to me. I didn't want to hype them up in this public forum (since scalpers are tempted enough to buy the rarer dolls to flip).
I managed to get all four dolls. The platinum set is my fave (purple Alice was until I saw her in person), and the red queen is my least fave--but I love her too.
The movie was fun and had a lot of great themes for me personally, but I think it needs multiple viewings to be appreciated. It was the wrong weekend to release it though. March would've been better.
When it comes to platinum dolls, you really need to stick with the ones you love at these annoying prices. I imagine the BatB ones next year (live action) will be even more expensive since this set was relatively simple. Nothing compares to the wedding Cinderella doll <3

It sounds like a lot of dolls are still left over. I've heard a lot of stores still have them in stock, including my local store... And they're still available online as well.
Hoping they last long enough to be clearanced so I can get Alice at a lower price lol.
amm3, I have to say it's hard not to let in all the hate from the critics. I left the theatre totally in love and then read up on the reviews. All that love faded until I stepped back and remembered everything that resonated with me while I was watching.
It's amazing--and sad--what an impact cynicism can have. Try to go into it with an open mind and to be entertained. There really is a lot to love about the movie. It's definitely a far cry from Lewis Carol's Wonderland, though, I'll give it that.
