It would be very strange if either LE Elsa or LE Anna are released before the film has seen its theatrical debut. Most LE dolls are of course linked to a Diamond Edition or at least their blu-ray release. LE Wedding Rapunzel's official release date (not her pre-order date) was after the "Tangled Ever After" short aired on the Disney Channel, and a couple of months after it had its theatrical debut with the 3D Beauty and the Beast theater release. LE Merida was released on the film's official theatrical opening day, as was LE Sgt. Calhoun. If the overseas market starts actually selling them (not pre-order) on November 4th, that would be a very strange thing indeed!
correct me if I am wrong here but didn't Sgt Calhoun come out before the movie was released? As I remember people specifically asking if she was a good or bad guy in the movie when they were to deciding if they were going to buy her or not? Also China Doll came out several weeks before the movie did (I think it was in Late Feb early March) and the movie wasn't released till end of march?
also I think this is why it will be a preorder first which makes more sense because you will be able to buy them now but they will not be released until the same week or a week earlier than the movie release. I dunno I was also under the impression that the dolls were released around the time the movie was released. It was corrected so many times that I have been forever reminded that that is not always the case. But I could be completely wrong as I am working off my memory here and dates generally do by retain well in my head haha.

I think it may be that one is available to buy, and the other is a pre-order. That is what I was told a few months ago but that was a few months ago, so take it with a grain of salt. If this speculation is correct I would assume that Elsa would be the pre-order, and Anna is the "surprise release" take home doll. Because Elsa is on the floor display, which they usually do only for pre-orders (that I have seen). All assumption. I think that we at least will see one of them on November 4th, and then the other maybe in the next couple weeks; at least on or before the film's release date.
I very highly doubt that Disney will wait until the movie release, as most of you have mentioned the movie is being released over Thanksgiving. Now I dont live in America so dont know your holidays but I always thought that Thanksgiving was a pretty big deal there with the Black Friday sales being on around that time as well? Which means that it is highly doubtful that Disney will want to deal with a doll release and the black Friday sales at the same time. The warehouse already had a melt down during the shipping of Eric and Ursula so can you imagine what will happen if they were to do the two LEs plus the sales from Black Friday all at the same time? There is bound to be utter chaos and shipments getting lost then. There is also an advance screening of the movie which I got an invite to but obviously will not be able to go which I am shattered about because that means I wont get to see this movie until after Christmas when it is released here in Aus.
I dunno I have just heard way too much about preorders, when the dolls were originally announced here on the forum we were told they would be preorders and I believe that would be the case. I do have a strong feeling that the dolls will be preorder and then released at a later date just like Elinor and Merida were last year. I wouldnt run it by Disney to sell the merch earlier than the movie to help build the hype. I mean we already have had one lot of merchandise released several weeks ago and now we are expecting the second this Monday it is just a matter of when the LEs are going to be released i.e the same time as the second lot of Frozen merch release or just on their own as special releases?
That being said Disney has really done a great job at keeping these dolls a secret and the information limited.

I hope you're right, Alex! I want the Anna doll but I gotta save some more... if she's released in the next week I won't be able to get her. v.v
People on this forum are usually spot on about releases, so if most say it's the 4th, then that's what I'll plan for. I am also staying up on the 28th to check out the new stuff. I figure it's better to lose some sleep than to miss out on something great. At the very least I can scroll through the new Frozen merchandise.I'm not sure Polaris...because my store got display dolls for Eric and Ursula.....so I find that odd. But who knows may be they are making displays for these dolls because they are new characters......who knows with Disney.
I will probably stay up both Oct 28 and Nov 4. Not really because I think the LE Dolls will be out on Oct 28 because I can't wait to see what other merchandise they have!!! I'm becoming very obsessive with this movie!!
I came across the picture on flickr. Turns out she was customized.
