I dont think that the prices of these dolls will decrease including Elsa, she may stagnate and you may be able to get her at a reasonable rate if there are any auctions for her as opposed to buy it nows but I wouldn't count on it. Snow White has never gone down in price so I dont see this happening with Elsa either.
In my opinion I think you should decide to go with the one that you like most so either Snow White or Elsa.
These are also the rarer dolls, Snow White has been around the longest so there are fewer available even though there were originally 5,000. Then you have Elsa who is 2,500 but is relatively new so there are a few more still on the secondary market. In terms of hardest to get I would rank it in this order:
- Harrods Frozen
- Alice
- Snow White
- Elsa (Nov)
- Belle, Tiana and Rapunzel would be tied
- Anna (Nov) and Ariel
- Cinderella, Merida and Wedding Rapunzel
I would suggest to get the one you want most, while there are a couple of Elsa's on the secondary market, I agree with Polaris, I don't see her price coming down, especially not any time soon, but at least she is still popping up at the moment. Snow White has become harder to get even though she has a larger edition size than Elsa. From the list you provided my personal favorites are Elsa, Snow White, Rapunzel (purple dress), Ariel, Tiana, Coronation Anna and Elsa and Mother Gothel. Not to say I don't love all the other ones, but these stand out to me more
Both Snow Queen Elsa and Snow are great dolls, but to help you on your quest, if I had to pick any one doll to be mine right now, I would chose Snow because as of right now she is harder to get than SQ Elsa. Either way you can't go wrong, they are both so beautiful. Good luck!!
There's no doubt that the most popular ones are November Elsa and Snow White. Everything depends on how much you're willing to spend and if you aim at collecting several of the dolls later on.
If you only want one doll, then go with your favorite, which sounds like Snow White. She's expensive, but I'm sure she's worth it for a fan.
On the other hand, if you want to collect several of these dolls later on, I don't see Snow White and Elsa getting much more expensive than they are now (not cheaper either), but the price of such dolls as Purple Rapunzel seems to raise steadily lately (Where's Ariel seems to keep the same level, also since she has a higher edition size). Before you could expect to pay 300-400 dollars for her, but looking at ebay now her sold prices have surpassed 500 dollars. So if you want her later on, now is probably the best time. I already have November Elsa and Anna, so after them Rapunzel was my most wanted doll.
If you're willing to spend 1000+ USD on a doll - get the one you want the most. I don't see Elsa and Snow White getting much cheaper than they are now. Snow White is the first doll and Elsa has a low edition size.
Thanks for the advice everyone! I would love Snow White, but there are only a couple listed at the moment. He found an amazing local deal on Rapunzel and Mother Gothel, so we are really leaning that way because it seems to good to let slip by. I will just have to keep my eye on Snow and Elsa to see if I can get a good deal at some point. I am hoping to maybe buy one at the end of this month. Fingers crossed that I'll find one. Thanks for the great advice everyone!!
I think that is great! Rapunzel is one of my most favorite LE dolls ( bias aside as I adore her character and everything Tangled), but she is exquisite and getting more expensive and harder to find. In the end all that matters is whatever makes you happy and any of these dolls will bring huge smiles
Here are the ones he got me! I already have Wedding Rapunzel so I'm going to try to trade her or sell her so I can get Ariel.
Congrats! So glad you were able to decide in the end and that you got Rapunzel and Gothel, they really are amazing dolls! The detail on them is just amazing. To be honest the dolls created for Tangled were amazing. Definitely worth the money you pay for it.
