Pretty in Pink - Disney Princess Designer Collection Rapunzel Unboxed

I got my Disney Princess Designer Collection Rapunzel! I got the LAST one (even though I was there second - long story, bah) out of 18. She's beautiful! I got the display doll, but that's okay. I feel it adds to her character that she got to be the one everyone saw and fell in love with. (:




I opened her VERY carefully, brushed out her hair (eep! So much of it! I think she's my last Rapunzel doll for a WHILE), and put her back in her display box without all the ugly packaging. I did keep some of the packaging to prepare her whenever I move. It'll all be kept with the box's slip cover so she can be put back into packaging when I move.


If anyone's interested, she has these pink heels. I saw online photos of an opened Snow White and Belle, and their shoes are the same mold just in yellow (SW) and gold (Belle). I haven't seen anyone else's shoes. If you open your dolls, I would suggest leaving the band over their heels; I took the bands off of a collectible Barbie I opened and, well, she's missing a heel now. Oops! So Rapunzel's are staying on nice and secure.


And back in our display box, minus the ugly packaging. (: She stands up very well with just the stand, no plastic spacer needed. She holds balance well and won't topple over. I did put tissue paper under her skirt, just to make sure it didn't move around as I moved around the box, as she doesn't have a place yet. When I find her a permanent place I may take out the tissue.

Felicity's Wig & a New Friend is on the Way!!!

I've been looking around for a new wig for Felicity. Her hair has lost it's copper color, is very thin, and loses hair easily. It's also dry and has a lot of breakage and isn't so smooth anymore. So I've been looking around. I don't want to send her to the hospital because she is from before Mattel swooped in and changed up the molds, and I don't want her to give that up. So, I found a new Pleasant Company Felicity doll! She's not *brand* new. But her hair looks to be in very good condition and will look so lovely on my Felicity.
But I didn't want a bald doll sitting around. So I thought about it a bit. This new Felicity is just gorgeous and has great limbs. No scratches or marks. She does have some staining on her cloth body from some cleaning products gone wrong, but other than that, she's perfectly fine - plus, she was made in Germany. How cool is that? So I didn't want to sell her off as a TLC doll or anything. And then her character just came to me!

She'll also be coming in Josefina's Christmas outfit, PC edition. Just the dress, pantaloons and veil clip, but that okays. I really want a PC Josefina so this will be kept for her - and Felicity #2 needs to have *something* to wear! I already have in mind her real meet outfit, but I have yet to obtain it. I'll get around to that soon.

I'm so excited to really bring her to life. I've got ideas in mind of what to make/get for her... I've already made her one little essential accessory! Can't wait to introduce her to you!... You know, the none existent followers who don't read my blog. Lol.

Oh well... the girls are excited about getting a new sister!
