Doll-A-Day 2017 #151:Enchanted Giselle,Plus Prince Eric and Fashionista Ken

  Today's doll is one I have had on my list to feature for a while now. I had one already, but I found one in better condition in the dolls I found at Goodwill a few weeks ago. So, here is Giselle,from the movie "Enchanted".

This is her original dress. The flowers in her hair are drooping.

"Enchanted" was released by Disney in 2007.

The character 'Giselle',a fairy tale princess who is suddenly dropped into New York City,was played by Amy Adams.

Her hair is hard to comb because of the flowers.There's one in the hole on the side too.

The doll is a fair likeness of Amy Adams,but more cartoony and not as realistic as some of the other editions that were available.

She does look a bit more like the animated version of Giselle than the live action one.

Besides this version of Giselle there was Fairy Tale Wedding Giselle...

She has the more realistic Amy Adams face.Her bridal gown was in the bag of clothes I got at Goodwill, but I didn't see the doll anywhere.

...a Special Edition Giselle bride doll...

...and  the Renaissance Ball set with Giselle and Robert.

Robert was also available as a single doll,and I want his raincoat!

In spite of being a cartoonish Amy Adams,today's doll is actually quite popular with collectors.

The only male dolls I got in those Goodwill hauls were these two guys.

Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid,and Fashionista Ken.
  First, we'll see Eric.

He's missing his boots, obviously.

The copyright says 1968 because this is the Ken body from that era. It's been in use a LONG time.

 This body has those weird rear facing palms and legs that don't bend very much.

 He has a very cartoonish face.

His hair has molded detail.

He is wearing his uniform,which is all one piece and Velcros in the back.

The stitches that held his clothes in back are still there.

 He has pitiful epaulettes
.

There is a sash across the front.

And lots of fake buttons.

Giselle makes a good stand in for Ariel.

There was also this 2009 Fashionista Ken.

 

Ken has those great articulated arms the Fashionista Kens had for about half a minute,and his original shirt.

 His shoulders,elbows, and wrists are jointed, but unfortunately not his knees or ankles.

 

He has that same Ken face and blonde hair so many other Ken's have.

Tomorrow we're going to look at some more Disney dolls,the last of the dolls from the hauls.

Doll-A-Day 2017 # 103: 2012 Fashionista Ryan

   Today's doll is this handsome fellow.

He's Fashionista Ryan, from 2012.

Ryan is supposed to be the twin brother of Barbie's friend Raquelle,in the animated "Life in the Dreamhouse" series. (Not to be confused with Midge and Alan's son, Ryan. I wish Mattel would stop reusing names so much!) There are 75 episodes of the original series, and it is set to come back soon. You can watch season one of Life in the Dreamhouse HERE.

This guy is from the days when Mattel bothered to make articulated guys as well as girls.

He's jointed at the neck,shoulders, elbows, wrists,hips, and knees.

The brunette hair makes a nice change from all the blonde Kens.

Although his hair is a little choppy. I think he's had a snippet cut out in the front.

This is his original shirt, but he came in shorts. I've also somehow switched his shoes with somebody else's. His were the same as these, only with white soles.

See you again tomorrow for another doll.

Fashionistas on sale at Meijer

  Another quick post to let everyone know that Meijer have all their Fashionista dolls on sale for $5.00. The sales at Meijer are for every store, but apparently each store clearances at will. So, all the clearance prices are different at practically every Meijer you go to. They have a lot of dolls and accessories clearanced right now though, so it's worth checking out.
  The Columbus miniature show is Saturday. I'm still getting stuff together for it. I have half a table, which is all I need since the stuff is so tiny. I'm hoping to finish several half made things before then.
