Doll-A-Day 79: More Rapunzels,Updates and Comparisons.

  I'm glad to report that my dad is doing better and I feel alot better after seeing him yesterday.He's still in the hospital but is supposed to be going back to the nursing home tomorrow. (For the record, I feel guilty that my dad has to live in a nursing home, but he has dementia. We kept him at home with us until his dementia got so bad that he starting needing around the clock guarding,etc.. It didn't allow the rest of the family to be together or do anything else. Didn't stop me from feeling guilty though.) If you don't know what dementia is,it's in the same family as Alzheimers, but...crazier. He has aural and visual hallucinations and gets confused.
   That's enough for your medical lesson.  
  I was supposed to do a post on my last Disney Store purchase today, but I'm saving that for tomorrow, for reasons that will become apparent then. I thought today I would cover a few things I forgot to include this week.(I've been quite flustered, as you can imagine. I considered not posting at all, but it kept me from curling up in a ball and throwing up.) So here are a couple of other dolls, and a few afterthoughts, plus I have updated the Snow White post to include some thoughts I forgot to think at the time...
 Today's doll is going to be two dolls: these two Tangled Rapunzels I got at a nearby Goodwill one night a while back.Here they are with the Rapunzel I reviewed earlier this week.

  I was going to show them in comparison to the short haired Rapunzel I featured earlier this week, but I forgot, so here they are now.

Short haired girl seems to have a rounder face. They all have the freckles.

Does anybody know which Rapunzel's these are?

The one with the long hair has jointed everything. The one who has had a hair cut has jointed arms, but the same soft bendy knee legs as short haired Rapunzel and Snow White.She also has those metallic hairs amongst her regular blonde hair.

"Thanks girls, but can you do anything with this one hair?" Jointed leg girl on the left is weak at the knees and can't stay standing up straight very long. That's why she looks so short here.Hair cut girl is cheating by standing on her tip toes. She knows the other two can't do that!

And an after thought on Snow White: Snow White seems so tiny compared to Gothel and Rapunzel, until you get them together. For comparison, here they are together.She definitely has a less cartoonish appearance.

See you tomorrow for that other Disney Store doll.

Doll-A-Day 78: Review Week: Disney Store Snow White

  Today's Snow White doll finishes up my articulated doll purchases from The Disney Store.

I couldn't resist her cute little face.

 Same situation with the box as the last two. Luckily she had a lot less stuff pinning her down than Gothel or Rapunzel. A twisty wire on her feet, a few tiny plastic thingies in her cape, and a couple in her head.

 

 She was wearing tissue paper pants.(And painted on undies.)

She's jointed at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips,and has the same bendy knees as the Rapunzel I reviewed a couple of days ago.Maybe I should explain those legs. They aren't bendy, as in, just having wires in them like a Tutti or Gumby. They have a knee joint, similar to a Barbie knee, but are a much softer rubbery leg, and the bend is more....uh, bendy than a Barbie knee.

The outfit is a bit too shiny and sparkly for my tastes. I'd like it to be more like the movie dress, in cotton or something. I also always have a problem with the way they do those red bits on the sleeves. Those are supposed to be cut outs with the red bit underneath showing through. I realize that would put the price up and also isn't the best idea for a lasting costume for a kids play doll, so I'm going to let that one pass this time!

This is the first Snow White doll I have bought for myself.

I like that they did the stand up collar this time, and it's actually pretty good.

Emma has one she got as a kid. Ivy was into Snow White for a while when she was very small, but she never had a Snow White doll. When I bought this one Ivy's response was, "But you don't like Snow White." I said, I don't dislike Snow White. I don't not like Snow White. (I mean, I don't specifically NOT like her. That's different from DIS liking her, or just ignoring her altogether.)

She has cute little rubber slip on flat shoes.

Actually, I love the animation in the movie. I think it's beautiful. I could never figure out why Snow White did all that stuff her stepmother made her do though. She was the Princess. Tell Step Mother to get lost.

Such a pretty face, and she's another short haired doll. I love her big brown eyes, and they painted the shape of her little mouth so nicely.

So, Snow was a little wishy washy, but sweet people can be that way. (I don't have that problem.)
 Tomorrow we'll check out my last doll from this trip to the Disney Store.
