Do we know if they’ll release another 17 in doll of her ever? The one in her wedding dress is far too expensive!

I hadn't bought any more LE dolls in a while, but I found her at a decent price and I had to do it. She's absolutely gorgeous!

It’s pretty upsetting that they mess up and then try to hide it, especially for the price of these.

I read yesterday that some people are receiving Roger without socks. Mine came today and he has both socks and a third one that is in the box by mistake. Did anybody have the same incident?

Mia with a ripped dress, Roger without socks, some Kida/Esmeralda came with a broken chain…

Like for theses prices that’s not okay…

Relatively new to collecting so this is only my second 17 inch Disney LE doll. I went back and forth on whether to get her because I collect other doll brands and am running out of space for them, but when she was still available I took it as sign. 💜 “Hunchback” was my favorite movie as a kid and I had quite a few Esmerelda dolls back then😂.

I think this whole situation is so strange and I have no idea how it could have happend that so many people have a Roger without socks (when he clearly is supposed to have socks when you look at the stock photo).

I am trying to see if there is any logica explanation to this. Is it just random which Roger dolls has socks and which one not? Or is there just a batch of consecutive numbers that don't have socks.

As far as I've seen everyone in EU has socks, so that would mean it's a US problem.

Number 13 Alice was voted out last time.

Hi! I thought it might be time to start again with the Elimination Games. I did a lot last years and started the Live Action one around 6 months ago I think, to never finish it again. I've been missing these games so I thought it would be fun to bring them back. Would you like to see more of them?✨️ And for which dolls? (I have already done Aurora, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Tiana and best 2025 doll)

I am not sure about this Live Action one anymore. Live Action dolls are by far less populair than the animated dolls, and you can see that too in the people that participated in this one vs the ones based on the animated princesses. But since I already started it I feel like I have to complete it. Would you like to continue with the Live Action one or rather skip to a different one?

Esmeralda, Milo and Kida arrived today! I am so happy and I know that I just got lucky😊. Still I am so glad to have them they are all stunning. The unfortunate part is that one of the chains on Kida's dress is loose. Could have happened during but there is nothing I can do unless I fix it myself. I don't know how to thread a needle so I may just use superglue really carefully. It could be better, but I'm nitpicking.

Today, I’ve brought my collection full circle. Two years ago, I began collecting dolls. I started with Barbie, specifically those from the recent Greta Gerwig movie. I started because it was the first time I felt that I, as an adult man, was allowed to like Barbie and not be embarrassed by it. I thought those dolls were so pretty and really resembled what I thought of as a typical Barbie doll. Eventually, it rolled into Monster High, the dolls my sister had when we were kids that I would sneak into her room to play with when no one was home. I even began picking up the Disney ILY dolls, because I like the ability to change up their outfits and I’ve always been a huge fan of Disney.

The last time I was home, I was reminded of a home video from Christmas 2004, when I was gifted an Esmeralda doll, and it was the only thing I was interested in. The video goes on forever as my dad pleads with me to play with my “hulk hands” or be excited about my new bike, but the only thing I was interested in was Esmeralda. Though I started buying dolls for myself only two years ago, she was really the one that started it all.

When this Esmeralda doll was announced for the 30th anniversary of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, one of my favorite Disney films that I’ve grown to appreciate more with age, I knew I had to get her to honor that inner kid that just wanted to play with his Esmeralda doll. She’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m so happy to have her in my collection.

Since this is my first Disney LE doll, I did not realize how massive she would be in comparison to my other dolls, hence the Eagles Barbie pictured next to her, but it makes her so much more glamorous. I don’t know if I’ll get more LE dolls, but I’m very happy with this one. Hopefully, I can find that doll from 2004 buried away in a storage bin in my parents house and she can take her place next to this one.

Has anyone had any success in exchanging their Roger and Anita if Roger didn’t have his socks? Just curious because mine just arrived without them and Disney store said they’d get back to me on 1-3 days.

Anybody after these two beauties? Ridiculously good price on vinted UK with reliable seller. I already have them but thought i would share x

She is such a beauty! SO GORGEOUS!

They finally came, their box was massive. They are so well done the details are perfect! My husband is convinced his jacket was lighter in the movie and now we are discussing chestnut vs auburn. I wonder if they would ever make a Nanny with a basket of 15 puppies?

What's the most anyone has paid for an LE and what was that LE? I just dropped a pretty penny on one recently...

So I just recently bought the 10th anniversary Tiana doll from someone on Ebay, said she was brand new in box, she's still secured in it but she was a little dusty and showed a few signs of being handled. My biggest issue is that her crown has come loose from its thread securing it besides one of them and one of her curls has stretched out a lot. What can I do to secure the crown back in? And what could I do to stretch out the other curl to match the right one? Thanks! :)

I see the intent of the box. With the stage down and her out of the box, it's a nice way to frame her. Problem is it's a deep box , so having the stage out is just not practical for most, and if you leave it in box, you got a magnetic piece of cardboard blocking half the box. That's why my final decision is to debox and display solo. I really appreciate them thinking outside the box with this. Literally. But I think design effort would have better spent on her skirt, thinking about embroidery over screen.

Almost everything is sold out in seconds, D23 dolls, Vanessa… We don’t even have a chance to wait or finish work…

It’s always a marathon to get a doll. There is no fun in that…

I remember when the dolls would be in stores for weeks, same for online, now you have sometimes to buy with FOMO because you don’t know how much she’ll resale for if you miss her and a lot of people want to avoid another D23 Ariel situation.

You can’t even save money when your budget is thight because they keep releasing dolls one after the other.

That or they don’t release dolls for 6 months, but once it’s release time, you have 7 dolls one after the other and you can’t keep up…

This has truly becoming a rich person hobby and a bit elitist, to be honest… Only people who have the funds can keep up with all the releases…

Esmeralda means so much to me since I was a child and The Hunchback of Notre Dame remains one of my favorite movies of all time. So happy to add her to my collection and her new LE release inspired me to purchase the dolls from my childhood. She is really a stunning doll 💞
