While I'm drawn to Alice in the purple outfit, I think I might still be sticking with "classic" dolls. I hope someone will make a comparison for us for 17" Alice in the duo set vs the smaller movie doll.

Do you mean like this? This is a picture from my Facebook doll group.

 
I really wanted Alice and Hatter to be my first Platinum set but these promo pictures are a bit disappointing. I love the detail of the purple outfit and Hatter needs to be in his more iconic outfit. I would have rather the platinum set look more like this:


.


Though they could just scrap the Platinum set and add 4000 LE Hatters.
 
These are NOT good enough to judge from, but people in Italy are sharing pix of the actual dolls in boxes. I just screencapped the Instagram pages (IG user la_stregatta_luna):







I like the BOX for the platinum set. Maybe I should start an "empty packaging" collection if I can find someone who deboxes!
 
I was expecting to like these more after seeing them in their boxes, but I think I like them even less now. They look plain, but that could just be the photos. Maybe they will be better in person...

On the bright side though, their faces don't look shiny!
 

HahahA I was thinking the same thing I didn't want to see shiny faces on these dolls it doesn't fit the characters at all. The pics we have gotten so far have been bad as usual from Disney. I am still looking forward to this release especially the red queen(she's one of my favorite characters)
 
Disney LE Doll Collectors
*Speculate about upcoming dolls
*Freaks out about confirmed doll news
*Wants pictures of new dolls
*Gets pictures of new dolls
*Bitches and complains about new dolls
*Bitches when dolls are sold out
*Bitches about eBay prices
*Buys new dolls anyways
*Repeat

hahahaha I found this on tumblr and thought it was quite accurate and funny enjoy
 
Those pictures aren't a whole lot to go on, but man the standard Alice doll looks insanely plain in box. I was really looking forward to seeing her in that outfit given how gorgeous the actual costume looks. The platinum set still doesn't look like its worth the money, but at least the box is really nice. All the platinum sets have had really nice boxes actually.

I hope I don't offend anyone, but these are the ugliest dolls Disney has produced yet. Alice's head looks a lot like Lily's from the live action Cinderella. Did they use the same one?

I don't think you are offending anyone with that statement lol. Almost everyone seems to have a negative opinion on them. As for her mold, it actually does look similar to the Lily James mold. Its possible that they used it as the base and then altered it to look more like Mia Wasikowska.
 
These are just bad. Lazy if I may say. Such a shame since they could've went all out with them. Easy pass...
 
This is beyond true about any fandom. Lmao

I also wonder if I'm the only one who thinks Alice looks a bit disproportionate? It could just be the outfit, but she looks disproportionately short (I keep trying to measure how many heads tall she is but it's hard to tell from the picture). Her shoes don't look so good either. Her blouse is very pretty though. I personally don't have any problem with the head sculpt. I don't think the dolls are terrible in and of themselves, but the fact that they cost so much makes them so.
 
I was thinking about alice but Im sure I wont be getting her now. The Red Queen I can justify but not that alice. besides more money for doll season in the fall. if the rumors are true they'll be plenty to buy then.

I am defiantly getting Red Queen as well. I do want Alice but if I am unable to get her no big deal I'll be fine with her film collection doll. What dolls are rumored for the fall? I heard Moana and Belle 17" LE dolls but what else? Damn I hope they do release a new belle she's one of my favorites but I can't afford the first LE doll and I don't particularly care for it either it looks tacky and cheap but that's just my opinion. I hope we get a new belle
 

If we get a new Belle, it will probably be the Emma Watson version ahead of the 2017 film, similar to what they did with the LA Cinderella.

As for the rumors, yes, we are probably looking at Moana, but then there's the continuation of the Heroes and Villains line.
 

We will probably be getting a doll for Emma Watson's portrayal of Belle, but that won't be released till probably next year around March. According to a reliable source, there is a doll rumored to be coming out this fall, and a lot of the hints they gave point to it being a new Belle doll. Its pretty far-fetched I know, especially seeing Snow White didn't get another doll released for her new Blu-ray release, but the 25th anniversary of BatB is this year, the live action film is coming out next year, and we could have a signature collection release of the original film in the fall. I think the chances are more likely in this case, but we will have to wait and see.

I am REALLY looking forward to the Moana doll. If they keep her in her standard outfit she is being marketed in, then she is really going to stand out alongside the other dolls in the line.
 

But Snow White only really had two outfits and one of them was a ratchet mess. Belle had at least 4 different ones. Even if they wanted to release a new Snow they would have to make her a new outfit a-la Jasmine via Platinum set.

That is a good point. But I feel like there could have been some kind of doll release even if they hadn't decided to release Snow White so suddenly instead of the Pinocchio Diamond Edition. A lot of people wanted a doll of the Evil Queen for example.

I so agree with that. Evil Queen needed to be done.
 
I heard on a Disney doll tumblr page that Disney is making a new animated Le Belle doll for preorder somewhere in late June/July. Don't know if I will get it, but it somewhat gives me hope since it means that possibly they could still make a Snow White doll. As for the Alice dolls, I definitely don't plan on getting them. The red queen looks nice, but I don't like any of Alice's outfits; too out of place for her time period. Either ways, I don't see how Disney justifies about 700 dollars for the Alice and mad hatter set. It looks 99% like the film collector doll. Maybe I'm being picky, but for 700+ dollars, you would expect both dolls to be bedazzled to death.
 

a rumored surprise designer and then with belle chances are pretty good for a gaston and beast maybe in his prince form. and im sure the blue dress will be done for belle if not the gold but im hoping for the blue.
