Frozen Disney Store Merchandise, What are you looking forward to? (Contains Spoilers)
I just got pixelexia, ok?
Only a few hours left until the website updates.
I'm hoping they will have a good amount of FROZEN products besides the Anna & Elsa Doll Set (which is the only thing confirmed to be going up today). Fingers Crossed the Hans & Kristoff Classic Dolls are released at the same time, as well as the plush dolls!
I don't think the Anna & Elsa Singing Dolls will appear until the theatre or dvd release date, due to the song "spoilers", but that doesn't mean that I don't want to buy them right now. XD
As Disney is starting to get more "comfortable" with releasing male dolls....Anyone else wishing for a male singing doll now? I don't know if Kristoff or Hans actually sing in the movie, but their Classic Dolls look so well-made that I wouldn't let them go to waste. Larger Singing Dolls would be awesome!
I did notice that the Elsa Singing Doll had long gloves... How can you hold her hand to activate the singing if she is wearing gloves? Maybe they moved the button? Even though I don't see how they could have done that for the 17" dolls, as the new 17" Mermaid Ariel Singing doll has the button on her hand like normal. Only the 12" Singing dolls have the button on their back...
On that note I'll add~~~~~~
I remember the first wave of BRAVE merchandise that was released before the movie came out, there was HEAPS of stuff! Merida Classic Doll, mini triplet brothers dolls, plush dolls/toys, comforters, etc.
I think there was 2 waves of merchandise released before the movie came out, as I remember making 2 separate orders before the movie was released.
The first being the Original Merida Classic Doll + plushies, etc.
The second being the Merida & Angus Doll Set + The OST (which didn't arrive until a few days after I saw the movie in theatres, as we had an advance preview in Australia)
I'm expecting 3-4 waves of merchandise releases for FROZEN.
1/2. before the movie release.
3. On the day of the movie release.
4. On the day of the DVD release.
(I know for a fact that the Merida "talking" doll was released AFTER the Princess "Singing" Dolls. I'm pretty sure that it was AFTER the DVD release, as I was in the US at the time tracking her down in Disney Store)
Fingers crossed we get a good amount/range of FROZEN products! I'm hoping for a pretty snow globe! Steve Thompson designed last years BRAVE snow globe (which I have in my collection), so perhaps he will do the same for FROZEN?
The majority of the Disney Store Frozen merchandise is set to be released in October (though as you mentioned, I'm sure we'll get more when the movie is released). The Mattel merch is scheduled to be released in September. I went to the DCP Frozen panel today and they showed many different mock-ups of items, such as bedding, an art kit, dress-up sets, etc. The dolls that were shown were the same ones we've already seen.
Oh and...Kristoff does sing in the movie (not sure about Hans yet), so even though I don't really think Disney will make male singing dolls, it would definitely be awesome!!
