DisneyStore Limited Edition 17" Dolls Discussion
Are you in the UK? If so where is your local store? This collecting game is becoming so much harder these days.
So today I had intended to pick up Jasmine, and buy Jafar and Rapunzel/Gothel.
I wasn't planning to buy Aladdin because in a photo I saw, his face looked kind of Michael Jackson and his body looked kind of contorted. Also his hair was...strange, like an outgrown emo cut or something. I felt it didn't really say "Aladdin" to me based on the photo.
All of these factors were actually a lot better in real life. His nose is a bit small for Aladdin but it's a normal sized nose, it isn't MJ small. His body is not actually contorted, it looks natural enough in that position, and Abu peeking out on his shoulder is really cute. His hair is under control and neatly styled. The detail on his outfit was nicer than I expected too. His scimitar looks good and I'm digging the red gems on it. I also really like his box backdrop. Overall he was definitely saying "Aladdin" to me! So you guessed it, in the end he had to come too, and I love the set of three of them together.
As for the other dolls I picked up today, they are fabulous as I knew they would be - each one in its own wayA big haul today, but worth it!
Those Earrings go very well with her outfit, it looks like she came this way
Does anyone know the quickest way to get links or product codes? Jasmine's wasn't up until she was basically sold out. Is there some place on the internet where the links are that little bit earlier? Sorry. I guess I'm a little freaked out because of how fast she sold out.

Going to Disney store today was not fun at all. There were scalpers and they came as a group of 7 men and a woman. And there were only 11 Jasmine dolls available.
So getting her was close to impossible. Still I got Jafar and Tangled set. It is sad since there were some ladies with kids and they couldn't get anything. Wedding set looks very good in person but not 500£ good.
What do you guys think about this: I've found a lovely German lady on Facebook who has a spare Jasmine she pre-ordered from the US, for a friend who no longer wants it. She is willing to let me pay in instalments but it will be 270 euros because it includes the shipping and customs she paid to get it and reduced shipping for me. Does it seem like too much? It'll be about £200 which is nearly 3 times her retail cost. I want her quite badly and paying about £67 a month until January seems alright but it's just so much money! I'm wondering if her price will go down on eBay but at the same time not many have actually been listed because I think we got hardly any in the UK/ Europe.
YYes I'm in London. It is bad but at the end of a day that is life.
By the way I would never buy any of these for more than retail price. I can't have all of them and that is fine with me...
That's awesome!I had an epic, easy, time killing experience today! I knew I had to prepare for this day so well the minute I saw the beautiful Aladdin dolls at D23 Expo in person. Usually my reports are pretty lengthy but this time it was fast, easy, & met an awesome doll collector in line. We both pretty much had an epic conversation cause she too was also at D23 Expo & I had no idea a fellow Canadian (yet alone a Calgarian) & tried out to get the Red Slave Jasmine doll too. Unfortunately she was one of the people that was close but missed it by 20 people =\ but we both had a great conversation of how our first time D23 Expo Experience went & the amount of "cons" to it. Anyways, my store had 6 Jafars & 9 Aladdins & of course, I was the first one at my local store location. It seemed everybody came right when the store opened cause there was only 4 of us waiting till the store opened. Overall, this was a very pleasant release especially these will be the gems to my ultimate Aladdin collection. & these are pics I took before I cried like a little baby while watching my favorite movie of all time.
Here are my numbers from the dolls itself. Was pretty happy about Aladdin's number

"I wanted Jafar so bad! I was the 7th person in line and of course my store had 6 Jafar's and they were all spoken for .... I will be trying tonight online!"
My store had four of them, thankfully I was the first in line, but one of my friends came late and ended up as 5th in line. Hope you both get him tonight! He's a bit too big for the box, his hat is kinda squashed, but he's still a great doll! Good Luck! :3
