They gave them all the body of 12 year girls and big bobble looking heads. Most of them look nothing like the cartoon versions.LouLaBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02195467794702251616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-28881216045077031922016-08-09T03:14:00.061-04:002016-08-09T03:14:00.061-04:00brakuje mi do szczęścia tylko Tiany -

As an adult it's a must, but I'm also willing to buy a doll just for its head. It's more hassle and more money to do that and frankly, I think companies know that.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-5002834749436244552016-06-17T06:57:20.031-04:002016-06-17T06:57:20.031-04:00Hello there!

I like most of them although Aurora's brows are too dark, Merida still has crazy eyes and Cinderella looks too mature.I didn't know they'd made Jasmine's without those big molded earrings that were part of her head.<br /> I also just can't deal with the lack of articulation anymore, companies keep creating dolls with accessories or active backstories and then give them these stiff bodies. As Yelinna pointed out if Merida can't draw her bow or Belle can't read or bend her arms to waltz with the Beast it's a bit weird. <br />I read that now girls only play with dolls until they're 9 on average. I wonder if the fact that you can't make dolls do anything realistic has something to do with it because many older teens seem to discover BJDs and have no problem playing with them. I prefer play scale but only the Pivotal or Made to Move bodies are worth having unless you just want to pose your dolls like figurines. I'd probably buy Obitsu bodies if they came in more skin tones.Marichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295287855690799143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-90825544968747247422016-06-16T23:58:15.407-04:002016-06-16T23:58:15.407-04:00Presto, I'm so used to variety in head sizes t...Presto, I'm so used to variety in head sizes that I didn't even notice some were different proportions.

The new Little Kingdom figures Hasbro's putting out are pretty darn cute, although some of the little fiddly bits are a big much imo. <br /><br />Just FYI, there are deluxe versions of Anna and Elsa that come with two outfits which have (slightly) better articulation than the standard dolls.

Thanks to Kristina's comment I looked up more info on the Hasbro/Disney deal and found this <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-disney-princess-hasbro/" rel="nofollow">great article</a> at Bloomberg. I think you are right and Hasbro will have plenty of time to improve the dolls and, if sales go well, to add more features.<br /><br />When I looked up 3 inch Hasbro dolls all I found was Strawberry Shortcake.

But Kristina already told you. :-) I'm iffy on the new fashion sized dolls, though I got Jasmine because she's my favorite. I agree, some don't look quite right, but I'm hoping that as Hasbro works on them, they'll be able to improve them. And add some articulation. Of course, the old ones from Mattel couldn't move much, either. What I do love that Hasbro did was with the 3" dolls. My daughters and I all love them. Their faces are very cute, and their clothes are cute and easy to play with (though some of the tops tend to not stay on well). We got all of the little ones. dannyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184111988053063451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-64181916033384249232016-06-16T10:29:30.669-04:002016-06-16T10:29:30.669-04:00I prefer Hasbro's version of the Disney prince...I prefer Hasbro's version of the Disney princesses, but I wouldn't buy them until they are fully articulated because is frustrating to play with a Merida that can't use a bow and a arrow, or a Belle that can't hold a book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108281774453346237.post-88858218617206890032016-06-16T10:21:52.982-04:002016-06-16T10:21:52.982-04:00It's interesting what a difference the eyes ma...It's interesting what a difference the eyes make, isn't it?
