Disney Limited Edition Designer Fairies Fawn Doll Review

Another special review today! Today is the release of Disney's designer LE Fawn doll.
Prior to this release, Tinkerbell and Zarina were released as well.
 
Here she is with her slip cover on. As per usual, the box art is very well made. 

 
Her art has some gold accents on it.

 Like the other two dolls in this series, she has the same pattern and colour on her base, as well as her name plate.
 The back of her slip cover features a summary of her character as well as her clothing and accessories.


 Upon removal of her slip cover, she is presented in a casual pose with a bunny by her side.

 A close up of her face. Her face has a slight shimmer to it, much like the other two dolls, and her make up matches well with her attire.
 A close up of her dress. Her dress is long in the back and short in the front. It is one-shouldered and the skirt portion has a feather design.



 Her wings are slightly translucent and its details are put on with glitter.
 The wings are sewn onto the dress itself.
Her boots match her dress as well as her artwork. 
 
 
 A close up of her bunny.

 Her hair has quite a bit of product in it to keep it in place.
 She has a lot of hair. It is styled in a twisted braid.
 Overall, she is a very photogenic doll.
 She also has a flower head piece.
 Interestingly, She has pointed ears (great added detail) and rooted lashes like the other designer dolls.

 My doll is number 1674 of 4000.
This doll is overall very beautifully made. Very accurate to the art work, and has no visible flaws. I recommend you get her if you can!

Disney Live Action Cinderella Merchandise Review - Tea Set, Purse, Iphone case and compact mirror

As you all are aware, the new live action Cinderella movie will be out in March, and in honour of that, I have some merchandise to review!

Let's start with some small things. We've got the purse, Iphone case and compact mirror.


Here is the compact mirror in its packaging. Compact mirrors tend to sell out pretty quickly and are a collector's item. Always buy retail - usually that's the lowest these types of items will be.


Out of the packaging you can see that the mirror has a blue crystal beneath the gold exterior. The design features Cinderella's slipper, some butterflies and rhinestones. 

Compared to my Ariel compact mirror, they are roughly the same size. 

Next is the Iphone case. Although it is made for the iphone 5; It does fit the ipod touch 5. 

It comes with a screen cleaner and a screen protector. It has a mirror on the back and a glamoured butterfly. 

The purse. Very simple with cut-out designs and a butterfly in the middle. It can be used as an envelope bag, or as an off the shoulder purse with the gold chain it comes with. 

It is made of faux leather and should be treated with care. 



Now for the bigger part of this review. This is the Limited Edition Cinderella tea set. It is limited to 3000 sets wordwide, and comes in a very big box. 




It is packaged very nicely. 

Each set comes with a certificate of authenticity, however, unlike the limited edition dolls, these tea sets are not individually numbered. 

The teapot is sturdy-feeling - and has gold foil accents. 


A close up of Cinderella's carriage is shown on the tea pot. 


Even the tip of the spout is traced in gold foil.


This set comes with four tea cups. 

The clock about to strike midnight is shown on each one. 



Four plates/saucers are included as well.

Cinderella's carriage, driver and horses are shown. 



These are very delicate pieces. They are not machine washable and should be gently handwashed. Perfect for display or for tea parties. 

This tea set is very beautiful, however it is missing pieces for the sugar and cream. This cannot be called a complete tea set, but regardless is very nice looking for display.
