Limited Edition 17" Collector Dolls Information
Just noticed that my Ursula eyes don't line up with the mold. Does anyone else's have that problem?
 
Now why didnt I think of that. Great idea. I wonder how they would do a LE Maleficent different from the Designer Villain.

I would think that LE Maleficent will have sculpted horns and a very voluminous robe that covers her from neck to toe. How they plan on topping the 1998 Mattel Great Villains Maleficent is what I want to know.

Yeah, my LE Ursula is like that, too, where her eyes were expanded over the sculpture line of her upper eyelid. I think all of the dolls are like this.

Huh, OK, glad it's not just mine. I wonder what happened there. It's not a biggie, you can't see it from far away, just curious is all.
 
un-boxing

Thank you! haha. Yeah, its really nice to see other unboxers! I just got asked if I was crazy on instagram because I unboxed my dolls!! :nono::crazy:


I was like excuse me?? They are MY dolls and I'll do what I want with them.


I love posing them and taking photos of them and dressing them.I really don't get what the big deal is. :dunno:

:soapbox:

I honestly can not wait for a 17" Maleficent doll. She and the Queen have been my ultimate Holy Grails since I first learned of this collection. I feel that Ursula was early announced because the company knows we expect companion dolls. I bet they will early announce a Maleficent doll because we d*mn sure expect one to be released next year with Aurora. My only hope...is that they do not early announce it. It was really a nail biter worrying about getting a sold out message or email when it came to Ursula. Maleficent is a considerably more popular and iconic villain. Honestly though, we have a year to wait... So within that year...I expect them to make her on point! None of this classic doll Maleficent with a cape and poncho nonsense!
 

I agree 100%! I think we ought to start blasting the Disney Store about increasing the LE size for LE Maleficent now for all of the reasons you just mentioned (and more if anyone can think of more). The fact that LE Ursula sold out in about 30 minutes is not a good sign!
 

I just wanted to add my opinion about this. I have to say I agree with both sides. I can agree with you that to get stressed to the point where you lose sleep might not be such a good thing. But I can also understand those people's point of view as well. Now, I just started seeing these dolls earlier this week so I might not be the best person to be giving my opinion about this, cuz wth do I know? I'm just a newbie! But to me, these are LE DISNEY DOLLS! They're sought after, they're rare, and they're expensive. I don't know about anyone else, but to me, these dolls are a lot of money, and for that I damn well better get perfect dolls. Especially from Disney. They are know for their superior quality and their impeccable customer service. From what I've been hearing about people getting damaged dolls/boxes doesn't sound like Disney at all. And then when people call Disney asking what they could do to rectify the problem and them not really doing anything sounds even less like Disney! I don't know if that's because I'm just used to the quality customer service you get on disney vacations and the stores are just corporate businesses. But even still, I feel like Disney should uphold their great reputation everywhere, even if it has nothing to do with the actual "Disney people". Personally, in my opinion it shouldn't be that difficult to have better quality control for the dolls and then pack the boxes extra well, knowing there are valuable items inside. If they did a better job with this, then there wouldn't be as many damaged goods to begin with.

Idk, of course this is just my opinion and in no way am I trying to argue or single anyone out. Has anyone ever tried to contact Disney headquarters/ corporate or whatever?
 
A quick question! Where does the Christmas belle release belong? I thought it was one of the 17" le dolls but all the lists I look at of these she's never on it. I really want her!

They've only made one 17" LE Belle,so I'm sorry but I don't know what you are talking about.
 
If I had to choose, I would go with Anna. The 17" dolls are always just so amazing!!! Plus, you will save $40. ) I actually think the movie is going to be rather good!!!

And with the $40 I save I can get my toddler Anna. I think I am going to pass on the pair. Probably. Maybe. Still 3 days to decide. . .

I think they might be referring to this doll, which was made by the Disney Store a few years back for the holidays (not my photo, so I'm just providing a link): http://www.flickr.com/photos/b0ttledwater/4728808578/ This doll is a 12" doll, but very lovely and also very expensive on the secondary market from what I've seen. She was not even a limited edition doll, in that she was individually numbered. She was only available for that one season, however.
 
So it looks like I wont be getting my packages until Monday, seems to still be in Sydney of all the times for the packages to go through Sydney first LOL. Usually it comes directly to my state not sure why it had to stop in Sydney haha. Oh well at least I will get an influx of dolls on Monday, I cannot wait! Will need to rearrange my display and take more photos!
 


Im not positive but I think this might be the one! I only saw pics of her in the box so I think that's why in not really sure. How much did you see her going for? I think she's absolutely gorgeous! <3

She is a bit of a unicorn, only very rarely showing up on eBay. The last time I saw her on amazon.com, the seller wanted $299.99 for her. Given the Designer Ariel prices, I suppose that does not seem so bad, but I don't believe that this doll's original retail price was terribly high to begin with. I actually had a chance yo buy her at clearance in 2010 after the holiday rush, but I passed on her... Bad move! Her gown is fabulous! Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda...
 

May I ask why you were shocked? :roll:

As a kid myself, and quite an impatient one at that, the excitement and anticipation drives me nuts. Even though it's actually the fun part of getting a doll.

To be honest, the stress I get waiting for a doll is probably the same as taking an important exam. I'd be awake all night thinking about the doll. Disney is being evil for releasing all these dolls at once if they're doing this on purpose. I'm not going to b able to relax until LE 17" Anna and Elsa come out.
 

Well said! Rapunzel was the Disney character that completely changed my life and soon after I eventually fell back in love with the other Disney Princess movies like I did when I was a little-er kid. To me, and most other people here, these are definitely not "Just Mere Dolls."
