Yep, the dark dye in Elsa’s dress had prevailed. There is a small blue spot where the dress was touching her vinyl body. Oh well, I guess a stain isn’t life threatening so I won’t fret too much about it. Here is Elsa’s skin compared to Tinker Bell’s and you can see that Elsa’s skin tone is a bit lighter. I think this is kind of neat and keeps with her “ice queen” theme. At this point in the photo shoot Rapunzel’s hair was getting a bit unruly so Sister put it up in a fishtail braid. The braid is a basic three-strand braid–no fancy French braid, which I am fine with. However, I feel that at some point I will tie a little bow or ribbon tied at the bottom just to fancy it up. As you can see each doll has a little plush friend. Elsa comes with a stuffed Olaf (he is missing his nose which I find a little odd?) and Rapunzel has Pascal. Elsa and Rapunzel finally out of their boxes!

Hours of fun with Rapunzel awaits for endless imaginative play with this adorable mini doll playset. Featuring a charming Rapunzel mini doll and an array of accessories, this playset is sure to inspire some towering adentures.Celebrating the heritage of classic Disney animation, our young renditions of your favorite Disney Princesses were originally created under the guidance of the Walt Disney Animation Studio's most renowned talents, bringing the characters to life in the most creative and authentic way possible. These newly updated editions are costumed in beautiful new dresses by Disney store artists.

Since I can’t really style Tink’s hair (it’s in a permanent bun) and I don’t have the guts to take out Elsa’s braid yet, Sister allowed me to have some fun with Rapunzel’s hair and attempt a waterfall braid. Elsa’s outfit consists of a jumper, undershirt and a pair of tights. The shirt is an “icy” blue color with a small collar and puff sleeves. The jumper is a darker blue and has lots of detail. I believe the design printed on the dress is considered a “fleur-de-lis”. Besides the little spot on her torso, the staining really isn’t bad. In fact, I believe that spot is her only stain. Finally! All dressed again! For the most part, the boxes looked identical, except that Rapunzel’s box did have a little damage at the top. If you look closely you can see the faint purple marks laced across little Rapunzel’s tummy. I cannot remember if Rapunzel had tissue wrapped around her or not, but I feel like she probably didn’t and that is why her stains are worse than Elsa’s.

Disney Princess Dolls

Those who know me know that I am partial to teeny, tiny, fairy-sized dolls and not usually interested in dolls over 12″, but the Disney Animators’ Collection has definitely won me over. Of course, my first Disney Animator doll had to be Tinker Bell: Rapunzel is brought to life as a bright-eyed young girl yearning for the day when life begins. In this updated edition the princess-to-be is gowned in a lavender dress with ribbon and lace detailing, joined by her friend Pascal. I was impressed when I saw that tissue had been wrapped around her body to prevent staining. Then I took a closer look and saw it: They are able to stand on their own fairly well, especially if they’re wearing shoes. Their dresses are made from satin and have lots of detail. Characters include: Tinker Bell, Tiana, Belle, Pocahontas, Ariel, Cinderella, Flynn, Rapunzel, Snow White, Aurora, Princess Jasmine, Moana, Mulan and Merida
