Do you regret deboxing?

Do you regret deboxing?
^Yep about the box being the house when photos and posing and playing are done:bigthumb: That was the perfect way to put it! I forgot to add that I always like to actually touch things and I am dying to touch the fabric on purple Elsa's dress! :p
 
I would even go as far as giving her a nice custom wardrobe with all the pricesses outfits :D
I understand it is made of a felt like fabric wich seems very accurate to me. She's the first doll who has ever tempted me to pay so much for just one doll.

That would be awesome! I stink at sewing though...might have enlist little sis to do that, lol. :D
That's what it looks like-I just want to touch it. :p Same with the price for me, unless you count American Girl dolls. :)
 
I'm not that good, either but I love making dresses for dolls :)
Oh yes, touch it that would mean you have her end you could post some nice photos of her here :D

No American Girl dolls over here so I'm still staring at Elsa :)I want her so badly...

Maybe I should see if there's an easy way to make doll dresses, because I WOULD like to be able to do that...:)
Lol, yes, I would CERTAINLY post some nice photos of her on here :D I'd be over the moon and jumping around like a...a...I don't know, something ridiculous. :p

There are lots of patterns and tutorials out there. :) This is a good one, I tried the pattern and it turned out perfect:

These are mostly for barbie sized dolls though but there is a video to help.
Sadly I don't have a sewing machine so I can't really use them.

Jumping around like me if had her? :D That would be a sight :)

Thank you! My little sister has a sewing machine; I'll ask her if I can try to use it whenever I eventually get purple Elsa. Actually, even in the meantime, it'd still be fun to try to make other doll clothes...:)

I just get really really excited about things sometimes, lol :D
 
That's a good idea! If you practise befora making dresses for Elsa she'll only get perfect gowns. And she is bigger, so it's even easier, I already envy her :D

Just like me :D I just watched the Lion King ant the hyena who fell into the thorn-bushes looks a lot like me when I'm excited :)

And I will need a LOT of practice because I am very bad at sewing, lol! I'm already picturing new dresses for her in my head...:D

Oh yes, totally! I wish I remembered which hyena does that (his/her name, I mean)... :)
 
I've deboxed all my dolls since I have no intention of selling them. I have the designer fairy tale collection Ariel/Eric, Snow/Prince, and Rapunzel/Flynn. However, if I ever needed to sell them, I know I can break up sets, sell just the boxes, etc. I know I wouldn't get the full value of them but I can get around what I paid for them if I broke up sets/boxes. That being said, if I ever did need to sell, I have more valuable merch than the dolls. For me, I bought the dolls to enjoy and I hated how they were packaged so I tweaked them. I need to eventually fix Snow Whites hair since I did unbraid it and am not currently happy with it but that's something I'll do down the road.

I think it's a wise decision, I guess many collectors adjust their dolls some only get a stray curl out of the way others debox the dolls and have complete projects like making an unripped version of the Cinderella-Lady Tremaine set. They become a bit like their owners, I guess :)

That's one of the best parts! The more dresses the happier Elsa will be (not to mention me ;) ) Her skirt is made of about five panels plus the piece that goes all around at the bottom. Lots of parts for a skirt.

His name is Banzai I think. :) The hyena lady Shenzi states she doesn't wan't to look like him that's why she won't go after Simba.
 
shooting4ownhand-I'd have opened them too.:) Do you have a favorite out of the LE dolls you own?

Meritre-Now I'm picturing 18-year-old Elsa with a closet full of dresses...and nobody sees her in them because she's in her room...I think end-of Do You Want to Build a Snowman Elsa needs a hug. Poor girl. :( I think MY purple Elsa will have to have loads of friends in my dolly family just because. :) (I usually think of certain dolls as being friends with each other for some reason, Disney or otherwise. ;) )
Oh, okay! That sounds right:) I just totally forgot his name.:p
