Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 7:11 pm
Hi there, I've been a member here at UD for a while now however have posted very little, though I visit the site regulary to keep up with the latest news and read people's opinions on various subjects related to Disney (I'm Michael btw and I'm a complete Ariel freak!!!). Anyway I couldn't help noticing that people have been posting in various threads, snipets of information regarding the new Disney Store Exclusive Princess Dolls that are to be released seasonly to conincide with the release of the said film's Blu-Ray debut and DVD re-release, the first being Snow White of course, with Tiana star of The Princess and the Frog set to be the second in the collection, when the film gets it's Home Video Premiere, as stated by Goofystitch (who btw I know you don't know me, but just thought I'd say I love reading your posts and new updates very much
!), who also posted a picture of the gorgeous Tiana in the thread The Princess and the Frog Discussion - Part II (http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... &start=840). Now I'm not a doll collector at all , I own a total of zero dolls
However for along time now I've wished to own something with each Disney Princess on (Generally I collect strictly Ariel items
but all nine (soon to be ten) Disney Princesses have a special place in my heart (I already know from watching the clips released that I'm gonna love Tiana!)), I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted but I then begin to think that a doll of each princess would be cool, however they needed to be part of them same set so as not to look out of place from one another. Then I heard (from reading people's posts on here of course!) that Disney planned on releasing these Excluisve 17" Dolls of each princess and I got intrigued. I saw an image of the Snow White a few weeks ago and feel in love with it being such a detailed item if a little (OK alot!) pricey, and contemplated wether I should purchase her or not for a while. I then read from Goofystitch that all 5,000 dolls had sold out within their first week of release
and I was overcome with a tinge of regret. Curiosly I made my way to the Disney Store site (I live in the UK), only to find that they still had the doll listed
for £50 and unlike in the US there wasn't a requirement to pre-order the film in order to get the doll (I already have the DVD pre-ordered off Play.com, and will most likely be getting the Blu-Ray soon after the release to save for when a upgrade!), and so I purchased her much to my delight
Payment has gone through for her, though I'm still expecting some email to say there has been some mistake and that they've already sold out of dolls! Anyway I thought it was time to make a sepearate thread to discuss this unique and truely wonderful collection which if all goes to plan I plan on collecting the set, for people to discuss their thoughts and opinions on them! I've heard that Belle is set to be third in the collection (which seems very likely) and that Rapunzel may be fourth in Spring of 2011 can anyone confirm this? What are other people's predictions for the other princesses? Apart from the two new princesses most of the other princess films are to be released in the new Diamond Collection , which accounts for their release. Now I know other DAC are likely to make the move to Blu very soon, but where does that leave Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan with regards to this collection? I think it would be unlikely if Jasmine was not included (being one of the main six), but for the other two Disney tends to "forget about them" when it comes to merchandise despite including them within the franchise so will they even be included (I hope so!)? Wow sorry for veeeerrrrrry long post (I babbly I know!), anyway guys I shall leave the discussion open to you's and look forward to hearing from people soon
