Limited Edition 17" Moana Doll Review

 Guess who's back! Yes! It's me again with a new review of the newest 17" doll, and this time it's Moana!

 Here she is in her box; it's super colourful and decorated with flowers and tribal markings.

 Her global edition number is pretty big, which is nice because this means a lot of collectors will be able to get her easily!

 The side of her box, featuring spirals of waves.

 Back of her box.

 A difference that I noticed was that they skipped out on putting her name on the plastic cover like they do with the rest of the dolls in the line, but it's not a terrible flaw.

 Out of the box!! She's so cute, and movie accurate - there are a lot of tiny details with this doll that I'll show you guys in a bit.

 A close up of her outfit! If you look at her skirt, there are transparent beads glued on, made to represent water droplets!! Because you know, she loves the ocean and adventure and all~ She also has pearls around her top and some lace detailing on her skirt.

 Her face is pretty accurate - another difference with this doll is that they opted for painted on lashes instead of rooted ones - which is fine, she's not technically a "princess", so the big fluffy lashes would've been too much for this doll. She also has a crown of leaves with flowers made of shells on it.

 Another really fantastic detail on this doll is the catalyst for the movie - her grandmother's necklace and the goddess' heart. The necklace is actually able to open, and you can see the heart inside.

 She comes with a paddle as well, which is super detailed - so she can sail on her boat~

 So many details~ her feet are covered in sand!! She walks barefoot on the beach, so this is a fun little detail which is nice~

 She also comes with her side kicks~ all three pieces are actually separate, so you could remove hei hei from pua, and pua from the sand mound (which evidently is also covered in sand~)

 My doll is number 4953 of 6500

Overall I'm really happy I got Moana, her movie was amazing just with the animation and the soundtrack, her character and the plot. If you're hesitating on whether or not you want her, you're definitely missing out; by far, she's one of the more detailed dolls in the collection; not to mention she has an original sculpt for both her face and body - so she actually has average human proportions!

 Guess who finally has an Alice doll~

 I really like the way they blinged up her dress~ It's really cute; they also actually have her doll as a little girl as opposed to her 17" doll which looked obviously more adult.

 Here they are out of the box! This has to be my favourite set out of the 12" releases this season. It's accurate, designed well, and I find very little flaw with this set.

 Standard name plate; this is the only actual flaw with this set. They name her as the Red Queen ( a different character), yet on the slip cover, she is named correctly as the queen of hearts.

 Alice is super adorable, and she actually looks like a child, like she is in the movie. She does have a bit of purple eyeshadow, though.

 Her dress is so well made and detailed! There are flowers and stems embroidered all over the front part of her apron, with rhinestones.

 Her hair is styled nicely as well.

 She wears her classic Alice bow on her head.

 She has black detailed mary-janes, and stockings!

 The queen of hearts is accurate as well, especially with her face mold.

 Red and black is her normal colour scheme, and there are hearts embroidered all over her outfit.

 She holds a sceptre in her hand.

 She also wears red pumps.

 This set is number 4186/6000.

I really do like this set; If they ever choose to remake Alice as a 17" doll, this design will be hard to beat.

[Doll Review] 17" Limited Edition Winter Belle, and 12" Designer Belle and Gaston

 Back again for another review~ I recently picked up the newest 17" LE doll, which is a variant of Belle in her winter outfit from the movie.

 Out of all the current releases, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with this doll in particular, and I'll show you why in a second.

Here she is out of the box! Her dress is amazing; super detailed and there are a lot of components that they added to this doll. 

 I put a dramatic filter over this picture so that you can see the detailing on her dress a little more sharply.

 She also wears her velvet cape, with rope to hold it together.

 Some lace on her sleeves.

 Her hair is styled nicely with a bow, and in comparison to her original 17" yellow dress doll, she actually has a widow's peak, accurate to the movie. 

 She holds a small bird in her hand.

 Her shoes are boots! really well detailed and painted!

 A close up of her face and make up.

 Her certificate of authenticity, this doll is number 4357/5000.

 I also got my Belle and Gaston set today.

 My only issue with this set is that Belle looks way too happy with Gaston, also their heights are a bit odd, as Belle should be shorter, and Gaston looks pretty small.

 She is wearing a more stylized version of her blue peasant dress, and holds a basket in her arms.

 There are a lot of rose details all over her dress.

 Bows! bows everywhere!

 Gaston, also pretty detailed is accurate to his movie counterpart, and is holding the book Belle was previously reading.

 He has a lot of tiny accessories, like this tiny knife, his belt, some arrows (but no bow?) and gloves.

 Even the book has details! there's a page of illustration and some writing, and the book has small detailing on the front side as well.

Belle's shoes are standard flats in brown.

This set is number 1544/6000

Overall these two were definitely one of the best ones released this year; but I'm more excited for the next release which is Alice in wonderland.This is going to give those who can't afford her LE 500 17" doll a chance to own a more accurate version of her.
