Jasmine Doll Jakks Pacific vs Mattel Jasmine Doll-

Hey Gang!

One of my old thrift store finds is this Jakks Pacific for Disney's Jasmine Doll-Return of Jafar! 2001

The doll came without shoe and her hair was...I believe the technical term is A Hot Mess!  A week or two of fabric softener made her manageable. The outfit is a bit snaggy but she was a dollar.  So in the cart she went.
 This doll  has what I call the ballet hands!
Return of Jafar!
I don't know a lot about Disney movies and thought that there was only one but this doll is 
from the Return of Jafar or Aladdin #2 movie.I had originally believed all the Jasmine wore 
teal outfits but some of the dolls from this movie and some future dolls wear purple. There are
also a red outfit too!
 Here she is compare to the Mattel Jasmine. 
The Jasmine doll is the Mattel Disney Princess Jasmine Holiday 1999 and she is wearing the outfit from the Mattel Princess Story Collection 1997.

There are two styles of the purple outfit.
 Mattel Jasmine is Indira and Jakks Jasmine is Niema !


Warning Nude Dolls

The older doll has a twist and turn waist body and  
the ballet hands.
The knees are click knees and the arms are a softer rubber than you would find 
in Barbie and on other cheaper dolls
It doesn't look like it from this picture but the head of Jasmine works well on the cheap
articulated body I got from China!
She will be sharing this body and the neck knob on the new body, it is an easy change.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Hi, Ms. Leo! Thanks for sharing and comparing these Jasmine dolls.

Do you know if Mattel made any dolls for the Will Smith, live action Aladdin movie? I wonder if they made the dolls based on the actors who played Aladdin and Jasmine. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your comment D7ana! If you haven't seen it, please checkout my https://i-luv-dolls.blogspot.com/2020/05/disney-and-hasbro-video-of-month-2.html . In that post the video tells the story of how Mattel lost the contract with Disney! I haven't yet heard how the spit has been for Disney finally but it was a surprise and a lost for Mattel.
