Snow White Singing Dolls 2011 vs 2012 by

I like the new face of the 2012 Snow White, but think that the 2011 is better than the 2012 in every way. I especially love the accuracy of dress, and the total lack of glitter on the older (current) model.
Cinderella Singing Dolls 2010-2012 by

The 2012 Cinderella's face is pretty and more youthful looking than the other models, and the dress, despite the glitter, looks good on her. The hairdo is nice, but I prefer the more movie accurate 2010 hairdo. Of course, the glitter free blue satin dress of the 2011 model is my pick of the dresses.
Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) Singing Dolls 2010-2012 by

The face and hair of the 2012 model are better than the 2011 model, but the 2010 is the best. The 2012 model is missing the curly front bangs and gold necklace of the other models. The 2011 dress is once again my pick as the best.
Ariel (The Little Mermaid) Singing Dolls 2010-2012 by

The new 2012 Ariel singing doll is now in human form, with curly shorter hair and a glitter filled pink gown with shear sleeves and overskirt. I was a little iffy on the new 12'' Ariel, but this singing Ariel is really beautiful. And the pink dress looks so good that I don't mind the glitter. She looks to be the best of the new singing dolls.
Belle Singing Dolls 2010-2012 by

The 2012 Belle has a very pretty face, but she doesn't look like Belle to me. I much prefer the faces of the other models, with the 2011 model my favorite. The new dress is much closer to the movie dress, and look great, even with the glitter, as with Ariel's new dress. The hair on the new doll is my favorite, with its nice curls and shorter length.
