May is Disney Month! Live Action Dolls!

Hey Gang!

It is May and that means it is Disney month!  I hope to do the month
justice with a number of Disney posts!

One of the interesting and I feel exciting things about Disney dolls is that
they reissue a doll every couple of years.  Sometimes the releases coincide
with a new movie release like the new Live Action Mulan doll!

and sometime they just do it.

In addition the the doll that is released in the Disney store, often there is a
doll that is released by another manufacturer like Mattel or Hasbro in big box
stores like Walmart and Target. This gives you two dolls at once with
different headsclupts and faces.  The face or head size of the doll and the outfit
and body can be different. This provides you with more dolls with a slight or
majorly different face to choose from. And like I mentioned in my post on 
Li Shang you will be able to add more great dolls to add to your collection.

Three of the Disney dolls that were on my "to get list" were...notice I said
were.. the dolls from the 2015 Cinderella Live Action movie.

I was unable to purchase this doll when they came out but thanks to Facebook I
was able to get them for cheaper that Ebay! With thrift stores being closed. It has
been hard to get my doll fix for cheap!

Let start with the godmother! Disney had been doing live action remakes of their
classic movies. The doll that Disney has has made for the movies has reflected the
actress and actors that have play those roles. The actress who played the godmother
is one of my favorites Helena Bonham!

The Godmother and Bellatrix

I loved her as in the Harry Potter films! And have seen them all and read the books!
That is rare for me because I normally haven't read the books of saw the movie before.

There was the Disney Store dolls and Mattel dolls to choose from.

Cinderella dolls, Disney store doll and Mattel!

and Lady Tremaine! Mattel and Disney store!

So what I got from Facebook was a head Mattel Cinderella and two whole dolls from
the Disney store!

Cinderella, Lady Tremaine and Fairy Godmother. 

In my opinion the quality of the hair on  most Mattel dolls is better than Disney dolls

not made by Mattel. The Mattel dolls have softer and shinier than that of non-Mattel 

Disney dolls. In the case of these Disney dolls-Tremaine (with hair pulled back) and 

Godmother- the hair is rooted thicker but the quality isn't as good as the Mattel hair.

The back!

The Mattel Cinderella has gold streaks in her hair.

You can see the streaks better from the back.  I am not sure if I like it, or if I could cut it out
like this version of the face of the Disney doll.

 From the top!

I got the Mattel Cinderella doll because I like the shape of the face better!

The gawline on the Disney doll was too square for me and looked too hard.

I didn't need or want the body of the Mattel Cinderella.The only thing worse than her arms..

are these arms with  painted on gloves.

Mattel Tremaine doll arms.

The Mattel Lady Tremaine had a face closer to the look of the actress.

Cate Blanchette

But she looks close enough for $3.00 for me to purchase her..

As I look at this photo, she does look like her too!

The Fairy Godmother with the white silver hair was one doll I have really wanted.

  

I want the dioramas that I do in the future to focus on older people/dolls. Older people 

have an interesting lives too and should be seen it dioramas, movies and TV shows.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
