*Small compared to ephie's =3
Decided ephie might like to see some decent ish photos of the dolls I have out (Well, they're actually all in one box, but it's a display box)
I'll show them in order of how long I've had them.
I call this one the 2011 variant. I got her in about January I think.

And a closeup of her face


Then this one, The Animators Collection variant, was a birthday present from my sister and her then girlfriend.

Her hair was a bit of a disappointment. It was really tangled and took at LEAST an hour and a half of gentle teasing with a wide toothed comb to get it untangled. And there seemed to be a crazy amount of glue used. I get why they use the glue on her fringe, to give it that bit of volume so it sticks out that little bit, but it was in the straight bit too!

Who couldn't love that face?
And just to show how long her hair is.


And the newest addition.
I'm calling her the 2012 variant, 'cause she was introduced this year =P

She has a nicer dress than the older one, and JOINTED KNEES! But they gave her shoes. Rapunzel doesn't wear shoes in her movie. =P

And the obligatory face closeup!


And the essential group shot!

The little green thing is supposed to be a mini Chameleon that came with the Animators Collection doll.
Up there just me and my shadow, no bass, no guitar, no tambourine. Then I found you like a melody, you were singin' in the same key as me. <3

Have photobucket images instead then.


The state of Mercury's hair D=

And Tuxedo's face... =|

The photos make their faces really long! O.o...
These are the LARGE dolls. Not really that pretty.


Isn't he ugly? =/

And his sword has little kitty teeth marks.

Not sure why I have two of Mercury. I never got Venus or Moon in this set, =(
Regular 12" barbie style.

But I have Italian Moon and Mercury =D
Mercury's front bow was replaced with a new one and Moon's outfit was totally made by mum. She was nude when I got her from the charity shop. =(

I think the Italian face is better, yes?

Mum gave Mercury new earrings =D

Moon had her earrings, but mum rehaired her because when I got her, she had a mohawk. XD

And I never got Jupiter in this set. Guh. I always seem to have one missing! =(
Teenie little one! =D

As promised! Photos!
Today I bought Queen Elinor. AKA Merida's mum in Brave.
Movie spoiler toy for anyone who's not seen it, ahead.
Now. I love this doll, I actually think she's really, really nice, BUT, I do have issues with the packaging. And her shoes.
The packaging pulled her dress so there are ugly pulls in the satin, AND, her shoes were designed for a pointy toe doll, but Disney are now using flat foot... So essentially her shoes look as if they've tried to cut her toes off...

Sweet, from the first batch I like the baby doll best! :D

Jointed knees are a godsend, I had to throw away some of my old Barbies because their legs were so sticky from the flexibilizer. I'll take a jointed knee over a bendable rubber knee anytime!

Never noticed that she doesn't wear shoes. I admit we didn't watch the movie yet, though, although we own it on Blu-Ray.

Took a few photos of my Disney doll collection yesterday because a couple friends wanted to see them.
I realised I should get an Ariel doll, that wayI can have dolls that represent all the girls I think of as 'my Disney princess's'
I'll get one next time I have money and go to a Disney store (Croydon lost theirs two weeks ago, *sadface*)

Sorry, I just thought it'd be easier if I copied all my picture posts over. XD Not trying to ignore any of your posts just me being lazy. XP (Also I'll edit this post with some photos of newer additions)

Awrightie then!
I'm happy to see your doll pics again, if you don't mind my swooning missing that's fine by me. *grins*

EDITh says: You forgot the post with all the clothes you and your mum made, though!

Update of the collection! (Tiana fell off the wardrobe and I haven't had the stepladder in my room to put her back)

And One of the Ariel's fell down the other day, well she got her fin caught in the door and was hanging from her tail. She took baby Ariel with her, so now she sits on a different shelf entirely.

And there's the small Aurora doll. I'm not sure I like her that much, but it seemed right to buy her. I was glad they gave her lilac eyes rather than blue on that one though.

Apparently I forgot to add the photos of Aurora. ;D

The blue/green 'pony'? Actually she's a camel =3. Reasonably rare in the UK by all accounts, I got her from a friend sometime last year. Think I posted in the pony thread about her... (We should copy that one over soon?)
