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! 😛
 
I would even go as far as giving her a nice custom wardrobe with all the pricesses outfits 😀
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. 😀
That's what it looks like-I just want to touch it. 😛 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 😀

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 😀 I'd be over the moon and jumping around like a...a...I don't know, something ridiculous. 😛
 
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 😀
 
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 😀

Just like me 😀 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...😀

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 🙂

Click to expand...

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.😛
