do you also take out your 17" dolls?
thank you so much ^^ . disney has great dolls, but sometimes they don't know how great they are if you put them correctely ^^. The original position is disappointing for me. It's always a pleasure to share and take the pictures ^^

Crazy, huh? It seems that as soon as people start to post their personal pictures of the dolls Disney's sales go up. The Beast was still available in a lot of stores until today and looks like he may have sold out in stores too. They hype people created after posting their personal pictures really did Disney a favour. The same happened with the Platinum set. When The stock pictures were first released the set got mostly negative criticism but someone posted their personal picture the day of the release and look at all the hype it created. They keep getting criticized for their bad stock pictures and they haven't done anything about it so far. I wonder if it is a marketing strategy aimed at measuring their customers influence on their sales? Or they are simply trying to save money on publicity? Lol
At my store, there were 14 sets and more people entered in the raffle.
Of the four sets, I've heard that most people are excited for Belle/Gaston followed by Aurora/maleficent.
I don't expect the doll set to be up longer than a day, if that.
I guess I'll eat my words
My store still had Belle / Gaston in stock today and Cinderella, but I've been wondering since the beginning how Alice will do. I for one am too burnt out to purchase any more of these sets, but I still hope she does well...

I'm a little nervous about this. Given the lukewarm reception to some of the more "popular girls," I wouldn't expect Alice to be the bombshell who sells out immediately. But the set is really sweet, and it's the only set of characters in this group that people don't already own 10,000 versions of. I've been imagining it to be a piece of cake to snag mine, but as it gets closer I'm starting to worry that simply because this is the ONLY one I want, it will be a disaster.
I want to pick it up in person and not order online and wait to get it and discover Alice's nose is missing or something. Ha. I've already told my BFF he has to work from home that day and go with me to the raffle. I have no idea how my store has been so far with these releases but by the day of I'll probably have a posse of 12 going, hahaha. Then as soon as the one set I want is secured, we can bow out (if there's even more entries than dolls ... it could be a snoozer, too). I want Alice to do well so we get more limited edition merchandise for her ... but I also want it to be stress-free to get my set!
Just remember that whoever wins has to pay for her (they won't let anyone else pay on their credit card) so if your friend's name is called first, go with that one (and if you have to, go buy a gift card right then and there for the purchase price before your friend checks out). Also, depending on the store, they might let the winners purchase as soon as their names are called out.
Ohhh, good to know. I have literally never done a raffle (just first come, first served), which is why I'm nervous! It may not even be an issue if there are more sets than people who show up. But I have no idea! I feel like ordering online would actually be simpler (I have confidence that there are enough to go around that I can place the order, even if she sells quicker than the other sets have for some reason) but since this is THE set for me, I really want to see it before I buy. Gaaahhh. I don't have the temperament for this; maybe it's good there's almost never LE Alice merchandise. :lol:
Would anyone be willing to scan the artwork from the sets online or something? If Disney isn't going to give us merch this year, then I at least want to be able to print off the artwork and make my own custom lithographs and maybe even mugs (the latter could be made through a website like Zazzle or something).
It would be nice to just have one release a year, either 17" or designer.
They kind of improved with the belle image, but as the saying goes, one step forward two steps back. Gaston and beast were really bad.
Actually I would say that this is costing them more money because they have to photoshop the background out and set up a shooting area and stuff. While fans basically take pictures on their own phones
Belle looks gorgeous as expected. She looks so much movie accurate and they finally got her hair right. Gaston..well, i like him in his promo photo. His hair was really flat and nice in this. But when I saw him in person his hair seem to puffed a little. Not as flat like his photo image. I like him nonetheless. I think i expected a little too much for his doll. Beast, on the other hand, I didnt like him in his stock photo. I thought he was too plastic and no different with his deluxe doll version.then someone posted his actual photo and I like what i saw. He looks so much better in this photo than that photo disney didnt took. Then when I went to the store to pick up my gaston and belle, the CM showed me the remaining beast and he looks even better in person. He doesnt look cheap at all. When you see him, you know he cost a lot. He looks gorgeous and far from my original perception of him in photos. I think after someone in facebook posted his actual photo, people started to buy the remaining beast that they initially rejected and that included myself. I think when i imagine him with actual fur/ hair he will look worst. He would look like some plushie and not an LE doll. Just look at his stuffed toy in ds he will look weird with head like that stuck on plastic body mould.
Well I assume they will have dolls for the live action BATB with Emma Watson. So that will be two years of BATB LE dolls in a row!
