Ariel and Eric Doll Set - Disney Fairytale Designer Collection - US Disney Store Purchase - Ariel Deboxed - Free Standing - Full Left Side View

Fairytale Designer Ariel has been fully deboxed, and is posed free standing. Her dress and petticoat are stiff enough to allow to stand on her own, when her legs are slightly bent. Photographed in natural light.

 

Ariel is based on the 2013 Classic Ariel doll, but with the 2012 style fully articulated legs. Her face is glammed up, and has long slightly curved rooted eyelashes. I think she is the prettiest Ariel doll that Disney has produced. She has long curly flaming red hair. There was hair product to set the curls, but her hair was still fairly soft, especially in the straighter parts. There is a large blue ribbon in her hair, tied into a giant bow in the back. Her outfit was in four pieces: her blue satin skirt with gold embroidery and jewels, her corset-like blue velvet bodice also with gold embroidery and jewels, her white tulle petticoat, and her satin long sleeved blouse with lacy collar and cuffs. She is wearing dark blue flats, matching the color of her skirt. She has no edition number stampings, unlike Eric, but like the other Princesses in this series.

 

I just received my second Ariel and Eric Doll set, that I ordered online last Wednesday, October 16, 2013. It is #1145 of 6000. At first look, my new set looks almost perfect, with a Ariel in a better pose, her eyelashes more even, and the collar neater than in my #12 pre-ordered set. It almost seems a shame to debox the dolls, rather leaving them as is, but I need to free them from all the packing material, so they can be posed with other dolls, and when reboxed, be able to be viewed from all angles.
