Disney Fairy Tail Designer "Couples" "Hero/Villains" Wave 3 Set review [Snow White, Rapunzel, Ariel, Peter Pan and Elsa]

This time I'm back with a massive review post! All five of the Hero/Villan Collection!
Starting with Snow White and the Witch
 
Here is the box art; very accurate to the original cartoon with a designer twist. Her hair is drawn in curls and her skirt has intense embroidery. 
 
The back of the box.

Here they are in the box. Snow looks distressed as she reaches for the apple; the apples in the witch's basket are green. 
 The name plate.

 Here is a close up of the pattern and embroidery of her skirt. It has various colours of roses with a few rhinestones and silver and gold thread.
 She wears yellow flats.
 ...and her signature red bow.

 A close up of her face. Her make up is a bit intense, with oranges and browns.
 Here is a comparison to her designer couple doll's face.

 The witch's face is movie accurate, and she even has rooted hair!
 She has a soft shawl with a rose pattern and a ragged cloak.

 She is number 1399 of 6000.
 Next is Peter Pan and Captain Hook. This is the first designer set to feature two male characters.

 Here they are in box!
 A very movie accurate face.

 Lots of detailing on both swords; and they made each sword different. Although Peter should be holding a dagger.
 Also what's nice about this set is the detailing they put into giving Hook socks, and Peter tights.

 Even the detail on the hook is on point.

 Whats better, this set comes with the tinest tinkerbell!
 This set is number 1761 out of 6000.
Next set is Rapunzel and Gothel! One of the ones I really wanted from this wave.



 This is one of the best sets of this wave. Her hair is even longer than her 17" doll.
 This doll even has tinsel in her hair.
Here is a comparison to her designer couple doll's face. 


 These outfits are detailed all over! Gothel even has a tiny dagger hidden within her outfit!

 Gothel's hair is groomed nicely as well; in many curls.
 While Rapunzel is barefoot, as she is in the movie,
 Gothel has pointy toed heels in black!
 This set has a very low number, 808 of 6000.

Another set I really wanted from this wave is the Ariel and Ursula set!


Here they are in the box; and I managed to pick one out with the best hair!
 She has an amazing face-up. With a slight shine to her skin as if she is still underwater!
 Here are two comparison photos of her designer couple and designer doll!
 Her top is semi-see through, embroidered and jeweled.
 Her tail is amazingly colourful and fully sequined!

 Ursula is movie accurate and even has the shell she uses to capture Ariel's voice on a chain.

 Her tentacles are also sequined!
 This set is number 1455 of 6000

Last of this set is Elsa and Hans! Frozen, as popular as ever we were lucky enough to get a set!


 Here they are in the box.

 Here is a comparison to her 17" doll's face. Not much of a difference, save for the make up which is more prominent on the 17" doll.
 Her outfit is similar to her 17", but with a bit less detail.
 Here is a comparison photo to her 17" doll counterpart. you can see the similarities in the rhinestones, but the cape is far more detailed on her bigger doll.
 Her shoes are different than her 17" doll as well. On this set, her shoes are clear with an iridescent shine, whereas on her 17" doll they are more movie accurate and blue with frost.



Her hair is also done in a braid with gems.
 Hans is also movie accurate and his uniform has a lot of detailing.
 From the tiniest buttons ever,
 ...to gloves and a sword,
 and rope detailing on one side.
 This set is also a low number, 873 of 6000.

Overall the set as a whole is great! All the detail in this set definitely beats some of last year's designs. And I was able to get some of my favourite characters!

Disney Limited Edition 17" Jasmine, Aladdin and Jafar

After a long hiatus, I've returned with a spam of reviews that will range from the current pre-order to the designer set.

Starting off the reviews, here's Jasmine.

First a couple of pictures of her in the box.






Out of the box; I thought something was missing, so I gave her a lamp to hold!






 Her dress is dark teal in colour, with pants underneath.
 A close up of her face, she does have a slight shimmer to her face like some of the previous dolls, but it isn't as obvious which is a nice feature.
 A few hidden mickeys decorate her outfit in various places, an example is her headband.
 One of the few dolls that actually wear earrings!
 More hidden mickeys in her necklace
 And a close up of her top; featuring peacock feathers.

 More hidden mickeys on her belt. Her belt does not go all the way around her waist like the aurora doll; it is sewn onto her skirt (a bit off setting, would have been nice to have a complete belt). A nice touch is also the gem on her stomach.
 She has two gold bracelet cuffs on both her arms
 A close up of the pattern on her skirt. Many peacock feathers and gems!
 She has the same shoes as her designer couple doll.
 She also has very long hair; I would say that if undone, it would be longer than the Rapunzel 17" doll.
 My Jasmine is number 1100 of 5000. A nice even number.

 Next is Aladdin! Very accurate to his character! Here he is in box.

 He does have a lower number than Jasmine, being only one of 3500 globally.
 His purple vest is intricately decorated with very detailed embroidery.

 Aladdin comes with a little Abu on his shoulder.
 Close up of his face; he also has a small red hat.
 Aladdin also comes with a sword (like much of the princes do).
 His sword is accurate to the ones used in the movie, and have a few gems on the handle.
 His belt and vest continue the embroidery on his front side.
 Aladdin is number 1249 out of 3500.
Next is Jafar, and he is the first villan doll I have. I've passed on the other ones due to disinterest, but the red box really sold me.
 With an even lower edition number, he is one of only 2500.


 Out of the box he stands tall at 18".
 He comes with a staff with a snake head on top
 The head of the snake is extremely detailed with red gems in its eyes.
 He also comes with a small Iago.
 A nice feature about this doll is the new molded hands. His hands are actually molded to fit his cartoon counterpart.

 His face is done accurately as well.
 The top of his turban has a red feather and gem.
 Jafar is 608 out of 2500.

Overall this dolls are very well detailed. I have been waiting for a Jasmine doll to come out for a while now, because I am a fan of her singing voice (Lea Salonga; who also voiced Mulan).
