Madame Alexander's Oz the Great and Powerful

I know, I know, I'm killing you guys with all this Oz stuff, but I'm just so excited for this upcoming film! Today I was checking out Madame Alexander's 2013 collection and discovered they have dolls coming out for Oz as well...

Glinda, complete with crown and wand of course!

Evanora, in a FABULOUS version of her dress! Seriously in love with this!

Theodora, looking pretty fierce:
 

And OZ, or, Oscar Diggs:

Each doll is 10" tall, LE to 750, and retails for $199.95. You can preorder them now, to be expected in September 2013. To see further details or preorder these dolls, click here.

Oz Merchendise Hits DisneyStore.com!

DisneyStore.com finally released some Oz merch! Super excited!

First things first... the dolls! For starters, the 19" China Girl Doll, a replica from the doll in the film. LE of 500 she has a hand-sewn dress over little bloomers and a wooden base for display. $179.50. SO incredibly detailed!

Also released today were the dolls of the three witches of Oz that I've previously posted images of. They retail for $34.50 each and are part of Disney's Film Collection. Perhaps this means we can be expecting more live action dolls in the future? They're pricier than Disney's typical Barbie-sized dolls but seem very detailed and looks like maybe they're trying to market both kids and collectors with this line.

The Wicked Witch of the West... I am DYING to have this doll! She is fabulous! I love her face coloring with the browns on the greens, her dress is gorgeous, her hat is awesome... GAH. She's just so awesome! 

Evanora, The Wicked Witch of the East... I must say, I'm a little disappointed she seems to have no red in her hair at all, though in the film she is a redhead. Isn't she? Anyway. Even if you're not into the Wicked Witch of the East, I think her outfit would be fabulous for an Emerald City citizen, don't you? That hairpiece is awesome.

And of course, Glinda the Good:

I don't see the Oscar Diggs/The Wizard doll that we've previously seen photos of listed. Odd?

Here's some non-doll related items...

(Finley Plush, $19.50; Wicked Witch of the West Tee for Women, $19.50; Journal $16.50; Oz Notecard Set, $12.50)

For the little girls in your life! (Glinda: pieces sold separately, $10.50 - 79.50, China Girl $39.50)

I especially like this mug that features the three witches. ($12.50)

You can find all these items and more at DisneyStore.com.

More Oz, the Great and Powerful

I did some more digging on Oz dolls lately, and here's my findings! Nothing is available for purchase yet (that I can find) but websites are starting to upload their photos/pages that you can find via search engines.

Disney Store 12" Oscar Diggs/The Wizard, $34.50 (yikes! Maybe a typo on the website?)

Tollytot's 14" Oz dolls, which will retail for around $19.99 (I'm sure some stores will vary)

Glinda:

Evenora:

Theodora:

Oscar Diggs/The Wizard and Mini China Doll (cheaper, taller, and also nicer looking IMO, than DS's version):

China Doll (full size):

While looking for dolls I also noticed the following merch that will be available at the Disney Store:

I really like these mugs the DS is offering, they're a nice size and quality. I bought a couple for gifts this past Christmas and was very impressed, may end up getting one of these Oz ones for myself! And can I just say I LOVE those notecards??

 Looking forward to when all this will be available!

Oz the Great & Powerful Disney Store Dolls

That Wicked Witch of the West will be mine! She is awesome! I really like Evanora's dress and hairpiece, too. Looks like these are play line dolls, but more detailed than the classic line, so I'm guessing around $20 each.

I am unsure of the release date but I imagine they'll be showing up around the release of the movie - opens in US theaters March 8, 2013.

And on an American Girl note - Kit's Cookstove has sold out! Both the cookstove and the Produce & Preserves set had "Quantities Limited" in the description in the latest magazine, so this isn't very surprising. I would definitely suggest jumping to the Produce & Preserves set if you want it! Personally I don't want it enough to pay the retail price, but I may pop for it if it ends up a Cyber Monday deal.

Happy shopping!

Holiday Dolls Cont.

I went to Toys R Us to see if they had those holiday dolls in stock - they did! They were mixed in with holiday stuff, for anyone who may want to look for them themselves.

They are TALL! The boxes are very skinny, definitely not designed for MIB display, but according to the back of Belle's box her skirt poofs out to like 14" or something. Also something I noticed on the back of Belle's box - there's an Ariel doll! Not sure why it appears that Toys R Us isn't carrying her, but the photo had Belle, Rapunzel, Cinderella AND Ariel, human in her pink dress. Naturally I forgot my camera at home but I definitely plan on going back for photos!

Anyway, Belle is gorgeous, I really like her and may end up buying her if she goes on sale. She's HUGE but so pretty and makes a great holiday decoration! Her face is very sweet and I think they did her dress/cloak very well.

I'm not a big fan of Rapunzel's face (she's not ugly, she just doesn't remind me of the movie Rapunzel), though her outfit is nice. I wouldn't want to unpack and repack her and all that hair up on a yearly basis anyway :P

I didn't really look at Cinderella for details the way I did the other two but I would say the stock photos are fairly decent representations of the real deal for each of them.

I would really like to see that Ariel doll though! You know, just out of curiosity. :)

Maleficent

In her box, looking amazing. :)

#3333! Check it! :) Three is my favorite number and she's my third doll so it's unusually exciting, lol.

Views from each side, with slip cover.

Close up, still packaged but no display box.

SHOES! :)

These dolls turn at the waist. Interesting, seeing as her knees aren't even jointed!

Focused on her, focused on her staff...

Meeting each other. Then they thought it'd be fun to dress up like each other!

Maleficent looks a bit like the Grinch dressed up as Santa Clause... but the Queen of Hearts is totally rocking Maleficent's gown!
