2013 Snow White Singing Dolls

The 2013 US Disney Store Singing Snow White Doll was released September 9th. She's shorter than in previous years. The "singers" from 2011-2012 both stood 17" high, but this one's only 11.5". Another difference is in the sound-activation mechanism; it's placed in the upper back instead of her hand. She still sings Whistle While You Work, though it is one verse shorter now. (Hear a comparison between the two songs at drj1828.) Runs on three AG13/LR44 button cell batteries (included). Retail $24.95.

Item No. 6070040900933P.



Also comes with Snow's rag dress and a deer-with-bird plastic figure.
