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!

 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!
