2012 Seven Dwarfs Doll Set

This doll collection appeared at the Disney Store in early 2012. The Dwarfs stand up to 4.5" tall and are articulated at the neck, shoulder, hip and knee joints. Made of plastic/polyester, they have molded hats, but removable fabric outfits. A plastic mining tool is included for each doll. Retail price: $29.50 (USD).

Item No. 6071046530002P


The set is part of the Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection and coordinates with the 12'' Classic Snow White and Prince seen in the earlier post.






Two box designs were shown on the disneystore.com website. This first matched the graphics seen on the other 2012 Classic Doll Collection packagings.



The second design featured the identical Dwarfs but in a box more in-line with the earlier 2011 Snow White dolls. Names are printed in a different, smaller font.

Target "Ultimate Disney Princess Collection" Dolls

In 2009, Mattel teamed up with Disney to produce a seven doll Ultimate Disney Princess Collection. Sold exclusively at Target stores, the set spotlights Tiana who is surrounded by Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, and Ariel (with a tail).



In 2010, Rapunzel replaced Aurora. Ariel grows legs. Each doll is done up royally and wears a crown. Although the Target website stated that the arms and legs are articulated, very little articulation actually exists. The dolls are Barbie-sized and made of plastic. The list price was $59.95. Until just recently, the set could still be found both in-store and online, but it retailed for $64.99.

UPDATE:

The latest edition of Target's Ultimate Disney Princess Collection was just recently issued. Seen online and in stores late October 2012, it still features seven princess dolls, but Jasmine has been replaced with Merida from Brave. Sale price $54.99.




Snow White has a new dress and hair design...




These princess dolls are also available individually in the "Sparkling Princess" series. Retail $9.99.




NOTE: In future editions of the Ultimate Disney Princess Doll Collection, Snow White would be bumped out to make room for the Frozen sisters.

Snow White's song sounds like it's the original Adriana Caselotti studio recording, and what's really cool is that it's clean, without any of the music or animal effects to accompany it. Just Adriana! Here it is...
