New Disney Store doll images found
Actually, Disney wants us to be very knowledgeable about all the products in the store. They encourage us to take advantage of the visual books to see which products are coming and to check whether or not we can put them out on the floor. I once had a seasonal CM ask me if we had any Dora the Explorer stuff in the back :eek2: lol

It is disappointing when there are others who don't know the products well or these characters from the movies. It makes us look bad and the company look bad.But there is always room for improvement. :hsd: and Disney is smart for re-releasing movies and releasing products from those movies, it helps people get familiarized with their characters. :naughty:

But every CM has access to all the backroom stock and is responsible for getting product out there. There are actually a lot of people who aren't familiar with Mother Gothel's name. They don't really mention her name a lot in the movie, heck I didn't even know Gothel was her name either until I saw that we got a surprise shipment in of the LE Gothel Doll last year.:angel: But now I know :salute:


Stores should be getting these products in soon. Some get them earlier than others, so everyone will just have to keep checking in with their stores. Each Disney Store is different, and some stores get in more products or exclusive products than other stores. I'm not exactly sure why, my managers say it's based on volume. :wiggle: But it's kind of a pain traveling to different Disney Stores to get certain items.



Not to be snarky or anything, but what is with CMs of the Disney Store not knowing who Mother Gothel is? This is not the first time I've heard that. Product knowledge is one of the most important things about retail, and if these people are not into Disney's films, then what on Earth are they doing working there? I can understand if they didn't know that a new doll was coming out, since CMs that work the sales floor are not necessarily privy to what is in the stock room until floor displays are set up.

But yeah, my closest Disney Store also lacks any of the newest dolls (Gothel, the Three Good Fairies, etc.). I saw Genie and King Triton yesterday, but otherwise, it was business as normal. I really don't understand how product launches are being handled if items are showing up in select stores only. It makes the Designer Doll releases seem organized in comparison, and we all know how weird that was!

I am not sure where some of you have been getting gothel but DS's by me have never got it or so they told me can anyone lead me to this?

Also I was at DL today and can say that both star trader and WOD had plenty tangled wedding dolls just no flynn or four packs...

I'm glad your friend got one, too! It is really strange to have the doll sold in the store next to Space Mountain, since I've never seen any Princess dolls there. I'll probably be going to Disneyland again tomorrow, and will check that place out. Oh, and that's a nice photo in your signature! It looks like the regular Aurora and Rapunzel dolls are standing in front of high fashion mannequins of themselves. :)

I was very surprised to see the princess products by Space Mountain - and already I've seen the wedding Rapunzel on ebay. Thanks much for the compliment to my signature! Since my friends favorite princess is Rapunzel and mine is Aurora, I usually put them together whenever I can in my collection.

As for the other princess related product coming out - I can't wait to know what it is! (Even though I have no money as a jobless college student :P) I would love it if Disney chose to put out seasonal clothing sets for the dolls - I would definitely buy them. I'm also wishing to someday see Esmeralda and Megara products, regardless of them not being princesses. I remember when I was little they actually included Esmeralda in the princess line (and Pluto was a planet!).

I don't doubt that Disney as a company encourages their employees to expand their knowledge of their product and business. That's simple business sense. I agree that it really just depends on the CM. Certainly, not everyone will be a big fan of princess films, and by all means Disney has a relatively broad range of characters and genres (Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, princesses, Stitch, the whole range of Pixar, etc.). And you are right: Gothel's name is only mentioned a handful of times in Flynn's introduction within the first few minutes of the film, so it could easily be missed by most people. I'll bet that Lady Tremaine's name has gone unnoticed by a lot of people, too, and Cinderella has been around since 1950. But as you say, there is always room for improvement in us all through learning more. It's one of the good things about life. :) Personally, I didn't know that Snow White's stepmother (a.k.a. the Queen) was known as Queen Grimhilde until Dec 2010, when I asked the DCA information kiosk CM about character appearances for the day at DLR and DCA (big shout-out to the CM, Michelle, for being so awesome that morning by taking the time to go over every character that was scheduled to show up that day! Not every CM goes the distance like that!). Now, I try to mention Queen Grimhilde's name whenever I talk about her!

I'm also glad that Disney has started up re-releasing their films in theaters to re-introduce all of these beloved characters to new generations. Back when I was a kid, before the expansive popularity of VHS home entertainment, and certainly way before DVDs, that was the only way we could see the great films that we read about in the Disney storybooks. Of course things are a little different now, due to the fact that DVDs have been available for the past 2 decades, but re-releases (particularly theatrical re-releases) always mean new merchandise! :)

Ah well, as for the staggered distribution of products varied by location, I suppose I'll just have to wait until the items I want appear online. It is discouraging to keep appearing at my nearby Disney Store only to be disappointed by not seeing any of the cool new stuff. Since these are all play-line items, they will show up online eventually (I hope).
 
Well I finally snagged a Wedding Ariel at Ebay sine there are no signals of a return for this doll just like Cinerella. And yeah I really can't wait for Wedding Rapunzel to get distributed throughout the Disney Stores because I wouldn't like to buy one at Ebay for $50 :( .

Also I'm so happy with all the new Tangled Products! Maximus, Gothel, Wedding Flynn, and 4 mini dolls! I'm getting everything of course! Hopefully, with the release of Maximus, we can hope to get Khan later on (Mulan's Horse), it would be a success ^_^ !!! And yes Selithiel, a Megara doll will be more than welcome.

And OMG I still can't sleep because I dying to know what the Princess Surprise DS is holding for us!!! I would definitely love something as the same magnitude as the Designer collection :) !
 
Btw I did check for wedding Ariel. I didn't see her in the system. Last year wedding Cinderella released first...a couple months later wedding Ariel was released. I wish I bought Ariel last year. The minute I see wedding rapunzel I'm going to get her.

Oh, a plush wedding Rapunzel would be nice. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks ElleB.

I went to DLR today, since I had the day off, and as pauly88 mentioned, they had lots of Wedding Rapunzels available at various shops. Including WoD, Star Trader, Emporium and Thy Royal Wardrobe.

I went to a third local Disney Store, and once again struck out on seeing any of the brand new Princess merchandise that ElleB mentioned, that is not yet available online. No Mother Gothel, no Good Fairy 3 pack, etc. Oh well, I will just keep on checking.

:) Reading between the lines, I'm crossing my fingers that this future item of interest hopefully won't create as much a fervor as our beloved Designer Princess Dolls did. I still maintain that things were nice and rosy up until around Designer Mulan's release. I actually didn't mind staying up every Sunday night to place my order, or speculating which doll would be released next, until the mass-buying turned the whole affair more scary than fun. That said, it's amazing how much new stuff Disney has been rolling out in rapid succession, giving some love to the secondary characters from the princess films.
 
I hope those Rapunzel wedding dolls make their way over to WDW soon.. I need one :anxious:

I also can't wait to see the new Disney Store stuff :')

-Thimble
 
i think i know what you mean with the other thing. someone of the disneystore in antwerpen (belgium) had really great news to day. it will be released over there in february. i am defenitaly sure it is the same thing.



Beautiful pictures of the Wedding Rapunzel! I cannot wait to get her when she or if she ever becomes available in store.:p

GUESS WHAT GUYS?!?:hsd:

I was at work today and I have great news.

Mother Gothel, the 3 Sleeping Beauty fairies are all in-store and in-stock. I'm sure most stores should have it in by now or at least in their stock room. Also, we now have a Maximus to go along with the Rapunzel dolls. The Sleeping Beauty Fairies are 16.50, Maximus is 24.50, and there is a 7-Dwarves Set to go along with Snow White. I believe they were 29.50.

Also, those inquiring about the mini doll sets. My store got them in too. We have two sets of the Princesses, a set of Ariel and her sisters as well.

:hug:

And I was the only one to find out about the other thing. None of the managers even knew what it was or anything about it. I'm guessing March or mid-February is when Disney will make their announcement for this. Depending or not they decide to change their mind again. I will gather more info on this the next time I go back to work.
 
also I double checked our new visuals....the rest of the dolls will release january 30. I'm not sure about Wedding Rapunzel though. And I do have pics of Gothel, Maximus, the 3 fairies set, and the mini princess sets..

Also..I double checked Maximus...when you pull Maximus's leg, he neighs and make galloping noises
