DisneyStore Limited Edition 17" Dolls Discussion
TheDisneyFanatic said:
I'm starting to think that we might not get any dolls for Snow White. I really hope we get some kind of suprise release (the Evil Queen NEEDS to have a doll), but I can't help but feel like Disney is going to skip out on them all together and focus on other dolls they have planned for later in the year. Not to mention that this Blu-ray release seems like a really quick and last minute decision considering that wave of Pinocchio merch that we got. Am I the only one who feels this way?

No. I too am fairly convinced that the Diamond Edition of Pinocchio was the planned Feb release and for whatever reason Disney decided to rush out Snow White instead in this new Walt Disney Signature Collection and possibly cancel the Diamond Release of Pinocchio. That annoys me because that's one of the last movies I need to upgrade on Bluray and now I'll have to wait until it gets a Signature Collection Bluray instead, IF it even does. But the abundance of Pinocchio merch and complete lack of Snow White merch (other than the Snow White stuff that's always carried by DS for her as part of the Princess franchise) tells me that was the original plan, then who knows what happened. It's happened before as well, about three or four years ago, when Aladdin was originally planned as the Spring either 2012 or 2013 Diamond release we got a bunch of Jasmine merchandise out of nowhere (more than her regular princess merch I mean) with no explanation other than they manufactured that stuff in plans for the Bluray but when the disc was postponed they didn't want to wait a few more years on all that already made stuff so they just sold it then, and then they gave us the Art of Jasmine collection plus actual Aladdin merch with ALADDIN tags on it for the film's release last fall.

Re-releasing Snow White now is very, very strange what with Princess films tending to get the larger holiday release with more merchandise than the spring releases tend to get, and now this film doesn't have any merch released at all with it, unless there will be a surprise doll (hoping for Evil Queen, hoping they skip Snow's prince - he's so bland) or dolls. It's possible they didn't want to release Snow or any princess film on Bluray in the fall to compete with all the Moana merch they will be pushing then but that didn't stop them in 2013 with The Little Mermaid then Frozen.

As for the Minnie doll I actually LOVE her and will definitely try for her. I hope my store even gets some, LE 3,000 isn't very much and apparently nearly 1,000 are going to Europe so we'll see. Her price is fantastic too, especially for Canadians as with the dollar exchange we should technically be paying about $115.00 (and that's without adding on all the import taxes and tariffs they slap on products sold in this country) so $87.95 is a freaking steal!
 
Hopefully you see this in time but for you or anyone else who had missing FF Anna, call the DS in Times Square NY now! My friend was there less than an hour ago and they have at least 3 if not 5 FF Annas still.

For anyone else they also had:

"1 Helsa, 4 Teal Jasmines, 2 Jafars, 2 of Snow/Hag and 2 of Hook/Pan left"
 
I agree this is the strangest release by far. Im really gong to be heart broken if we don't get anything special for snow white.......... I at least expected the queen and a few things like pins and a snow globe. Shes my #1 fave

If I had the money I'd buy the original Snow White, but that's not happening anytime soon. I'm just kind of mad that they released an Le Pinocchio when his movie isn't even being released at this time. I guess there's always hope that she could be announced sometime next week or so.

True there is still hope until the day of. its just there's been a pattern, then last year they went nuts on the releases so i guess all bets are off. the Pinocchio is truly a work of art but was a total nightmare for me! he kept coming broken and it was an awful fiasco, but finally I got one that wasn't destroyed when he arrived. Sadly I only need Rapunzel, gothel and snow from the original 17''s but I haven't given in yet because its a lot at one time on one doll vs. the multiples in each doll season. but Snow is indeed special to me so she's going to be a must. I really really wanted the queen and prince. I keep hoping its going to be a true surprise release like the first few villains....

I think there is still hope that we can get a Snow White doll. This is a good opportunity for Disney store to make more money, and it can continue the doll line for many years to come. If there isn't any Snow White dolls being released then I'm basically done collecting. Not for that reason, but space reasons; I barely had room for three dolls, but if Snow White is being released then that's an exception.

I wish I could go there and get her... I mean FF Anna, she is my favourite LE Anna doll.
 
I asked this on my doll Facebook group a while back, but do you all think there is a small possibility we might get a Rey doll for the release of Star Wars The Force Awakens on Blu-ray/DVD? Seeing Disney has taken an interest in releasing dolls of live action and non-princess characters, could we possibly see one?

Well, I guess it is not impossible we just have to be patient enough.
 
I'm kinda sad that the Signature Minnie isn't getting more love. I think she's really cute and want her to put next to my D23 one. I hope the link fairies will still be around even if she's not so popular.

There has popped up a LE doll of Pinocchio on the european stores:

Not seeing it in the US store yet, but keep your eyes peeled. LE is only 500!

I believe that marionette was already released here in the US. It was released alongside that wave of Pinocchio merch we got.

We will probably still get links for her. Even if nothing gets posted here, you can always count on Facebook and tumblr doll pages to get the links up.
 
Question, is Minnie being released in the U.S. online on the 22nd as well or the 23rd like normal? I ask because the Facebook Disney limited edition dolls page says "Available in select stores and online 1/22," but usually it's not up online till the next night, a nice secondary insurance policy if you can't get it in the store. I was planning to go early to get in line for her anyway, preferably before 3am, so if it is released online I'd be able to have an idea of whether or not I should try my luck with the mailing process or remain standing in line-if there is one that early (last time I got there at 1 and was 3rd in line, but it was the Frozen Fever release...). I know not many seem interested in Minnie, but my store usually sells out of LE dolls quite fast and with the low release number, if they say only get between 4-6 dolls in, then I'll be quite worried if I'm any higher than 3rd or 4th in line.

Who knows if we will get any dolls for Snow White. I was really hoping for one, but I doubt it'll happen. And I just realized that the Minnie doll looks exactly like Micky if you cover her eyeshadow and eyelashes. Kind of wish they added her bow on her head, given her blush, and at least outline her mouth.

Yes! This was exactly what I was thinking! Minnie is traditionally seen with her signature bow on her head and I kept staring at the doll expecting one to be there! That being said, I don't have the D23 doll so unless they make another Minnie down the road this would be my only chance to grab her, if I can...fingers crossed! On the bright side, I spoke to a cast member the other day who assured me that despite the picture we were shown online, "she's gorgeous"! That's nothing I haven't grown to expect over time, but reassuring nevertheless since I wasn't really sure about getting her after seeing the picture.
 
Starting to doubt we will get a Snow White doll(watching Snow White as I type this:),just wish she is released somehow.
