Mattel Disney Princess Dolls - Were They Really Better?

[@isaacb1045]

i feel like no one ever notices or talks about the fact cinderella is actually more of a strawberry blonde close to an auburn as opposed to a true blonde

[@antoniosnyder6192]

Also her dress is silver not blue, which they changed for marketing cuz it looked like a wedding dress, makes sense but I never understood why they changed her hair color, is cuz blondes look better in blue?

[@justanobody864]

@@antoniosnyder6192 I guess because they gave Aurora the Gold Blond. They would look to similar.

[@nekoboygames7786]

@@antoniosnyder6192 Maybe its a difficult colour to do without making it look red/ginger/orange.

[@animon613]

@@justanobody864 I always thought it was so strange that they did that, though. I mean, Aurora is a platinum blonde for sure in the movie. Maybe because of the dress color fiasco (?) 😂 Strange. It would be cool if they did a special set with completely movie accurate dolls, Belle in her gold dress, etc.

[@because-strudels]

You're totally right; dress is silvery, too. Honestly I don't really care for the sharp blues and yellows of all these Cinderella products. It doesn't hold a candle to her original movie glamour, imho.

[@Theravingranter]

When you read the back of Auroras box I was like okay that's what Aurora is about but then Mulans said the same thing and I immediately facepalmed.

[@josephbernados1649]

I think they were better in the 90's, before they created the official "Disney Princess" brand and were individual releases coinciding with their theatrical releases/re-issues. Though the biggest appeal to me with the Mattel Princess dolls is that they could wear Barbie fashions without looking weird.

[@edhatboy]

The ones from 2000's after the Disney Princess Franchise were so good , they playline and the collector by Matter were even better !

[@Kinnaye]

I totally agree with you, with every Disney movie released in the 90s, Mattel did accompanying dolls and toys which were so much better in quality and appearance than the 2000s or even Hasbro!!

[@pearl_moon_cosplays]

I also have to agree with the 90s dolls, I have had a couple of my own and honestly they are such great quality. I had quite a few growing up through the years.

[@justanobody864]

Here we have to say that every Dollline was better back than. Look at Barbie. Quality Clothes and a Bunch of Accessoires. Now little to no accessoires and Clothes that are pronted on cheap fabric. If Mattel had still the Disney Princess they would also be as cheap as they where before Hasrbo took over. Or even worse.

[@porfiriodiazcarrillo7551]

and they made almost every female lead and hero!! Kida, Esmeralda, Megara and Jane; also Milo, Hercules, Tarzan and Phebus. they went all the way whit the movie releases!!!

[@VeronicaStorm98]

Honestly, I only like the Disney Store Disney Princess dolls. Both the modern Mattel Disney Princess dolls and the Hasbro ones feel so cheap in comparison to the Disney store ones, especially in outfit quality, articulation, and face mold accuracy. I know the Disney Store ones tend to sell out faster and become more rare, but if you can get your hands on them (people who live close to a Disney Store are so lucky and have such an advantage with this), they are completely worth it and look just like the characters, whereas the Hasbro and Mattel ones feel cheap, lazy, and don't completely resemble the characters.

[@announced7964]

Kinda funny really, folks who collects the Disney store one will tell you that Disney version cheapens overtime as well, the outfits will never get into the same quality as the first release for the playline, their only saving grace is the dolls resemble the character a lot more (As I said, *resemble* , because Disney cant ever get the Princesses face right for the 90s and the before Princesses correct, Rapunzel's face til today never even resembled her face in the original movie, not even her body match the character by even the tiniest comparison, weirdly *only* Mattel has gotten the perfect sculpt for Aurora's face in their final release of the character in doll form), as well as the LE dolls being way more expensive than they need to be

[@ilovechocolate563]

Me too the face models now are not my favorite

[@parameswarar2]

I don't like Hasbro's eyes makeup,they look too bug like!

@@LaBellesGrace Oh, ok! Thank you!

[@LaBellesGrace]

@@_veronica_r just searched a listing for all offical Disney Princesses ages. (with the princes rough ages - but for most of them these are not fully confirmed by Disney) As you said, Snow White is 14 but her prince is 17-18 (there was a huge rumour going around that he was actually 31 but there’s nothing I found besides theories on tumblr stating he’s that old). Jasmine is 15 turning 16, while Aladdin is 18. Cinderella and her Prince are 19. Tiana is 19 and Naveen is 20. Ariel is 16, while Eric is 18. Belle is 17, and the Beast/Prince is 21. Mulan is 16 and Shang is 18-20. Aurora is 16 and Phillip is 20. Rapunzel is 18, Flynn is 24. Anna is 18; 21 in the second movie. Kristoff is 21; 24 in the second movie. Merida is 16. While Elsa in the original is 21; she’s 24 in Frozen 2. Which is, uh, definitely interesting...

[@melanie8036]

[@chrispan991]

I think that Mattel's best with Disney was in fact the 90's. The collector dolls especially. Even playline dolls like the ones I had for Ariel, Esmeralda and Pocahontas were lit

[@antoniosnyder6192]

Pearl princess Ariel!! Just bought her off ebay and is one of my faves lol so pretty and was released the same year I was born 1997

[@AdyCat-vr5py]

The flower on Mulans dress that you thought was a chrysanthemum was probably a cherry blossom. They're relatively prominent in the Mulan animated movie

[@phadenswandemil4345]

It's the flower from her hairpiece that she leaves behind the night she joins the army, isn't it? Idk if it's a cherry blossom, but it's definitely not a chrysanthemum, cuz chrysanthemums have more than four petals

[@Bananacustardcostuming]

It is a magnolia, I just looked it up! ♥️

[@yippedoodah]

@@Bananacustardcostuming Definitely! The name Mulan even means Magnolia in Chinese and her traditional last name Hua (Fa in the animated movie) means flower.

[@alexonhdll]

I think the pinnacle for Mattel Disney dolls was late 90s early 2000s. The playline dolls were quite nice and the collector line was beautiful 😍!

[@suemommie]

Agreed... I actually have some original ones from late 1990’s and early 2000’s era and the face molds were so much nicer.

[@sailormoon2758]

The Mattel face sculpts were 1000x more true to the actual animations from the films than the hasbro 🤢

[@lordsnorlax2912]

Mattel princesses had better body proportions, Hasbro ones have Big heads and skinny/short bodies, they only make them a bit more proportionate in the Style series. I hope they lose the Disney princess license soon. Maybe MGA could do a better job

[@BunnyBelle3]

I worked at a Disney Store around 2012 and started noticing the doll sculpts there vs the ones by Mattel that were at a general retailer & the DS dolls were more accurate to the movie designs every time. I figured Disney didn't want other doll makers making better dolls than them. But now I think Hasbro's sculpts are about on par with those (the clothes are certainly better or equal in most cases) so yeah, while not perfect I think Hasbro's are a step up from before.

[@rinibunny4576]

4:12 Me: *flashbacks to once upon a time* But seriously who else remember Aurora x Mulan in OUAT 😭 I shipped it so much

[@jacquesandrevanstraaten8439]

I would be interested in a family line where we see the Disney princesses as mothers though I think that would take time as only ariel has an official child. The others could be a beach line, camping line or a careers line.

[@MyWorldMelissa]

That would be cool!

[@bethenecampbell6463]

The first movie my dad saw was Snow White in 1938. He was 7. The artwork on that film is amazing. And very representative of the era. I don't know how well that translated to reissues in the 80s and 90s. But I liked the Mattel dolls better. Just for the clothing options if nothing else.

this is random but your videos really inspired me to start doll collecting again ! just ordered a rochelle doll from ebay and i’m so excited for her to get here :D thank you 💕

[@blondiebarbie2007]

The quality on Mattel's dolls was 70000 times better than Hasbro's. Even the cheapest lowest quality mattel princesses look stunning next to the budget hasbro princesses. Hasbro dolls have the worst hair quality EVER, at least you can wash the glue and the gel out of the mattel dolls and the hair will look breathtakingly stunning, while Hasbro's cheap nylon is unfixable. And don't get me started on the outfits!!! Hasbro uses ridiculously cheap fabrics, Mattel's fabrics aren't great either but at least they have more than one cheap layer of cheap fabric and MAYBE some cheap tool. Hasbro's dolls are really fragile too. I personally despise Hasbro's face and body molds, they are WAY too cartoonish for me. Also i actually LOVE Mattel's dreamy pretty pink sparkley princess asthetic, Hasbro's asthetic just seems really tacky to me, but that's definitely more of a preference thing than a quality thing.

[@UnicornRainbowsToysandDolls]

All of this is exactly what I was thinking! You can get the glue out of the Mattel hair but the Hasbro hair is the absolute worst. I agree about the Hasbro faces with the Ralph Breaks the Internet/Comfy Princesses being the most terrible - they all look shocked/stunned! Also with the Mattel dolls, they can wear Barbie clothes! With the Hasbro dolls, they can barely even share clothes with each other because they made all the body sizes different, but only just enough to be annoying and unable to swap clothes. I hope Mattel gets the princesses back.

[@catherinej615]

that's why l miss my original elsa doll that is hard to find online because she came out during the 1st movie and she was a Mattel one. I still don't fully like the 2 Hasbro ones l have right now from frozen 2 and they're sorta pretty in a good way but they still can't replace my original elsa.

Disney store is definitely above Mattel and what’s sold at grocery stores and big chain shops. Like I don’t know if hasbro produces the Disney store dolls too but the dolls directly associated with the Disney brand are better than what’s sold at grocery stores and big chain shops.

Mattel was so much closer to the animations than Hasbros. Also it is a bit unfair to compare to the comfy princesses when that is a totally different animation style/doll style.

[@hibiscus_squish1083]

[@kathymetzle7236]

[@rongreen2976]

I like Mattel Cinderella better, too! The Mattel Cinderella has bangs like she did in the movie, and the Hasbro Cinderella has the new revised side sweep bangs. The Snow White with the big eyes reminds me of the creepy Sunshine Family dolls from the 1970s.

[@christiannightshade5886]

Mattel didn't use to put glue inside of doll heads, they only started doing that after the mid 2000's to save money, back in the day barbies had their hair sewn/braided on the inside of their heads, they made the switch to save money, and after many complains about dolls having sticky hair and turning yellow over time apparently they've fixed that issue, I don't think they stopped using glue completely but apparently their current dolls don't have the same issue these gals did

[@mysticalmorpheus6784]

Even though the Hasbro dolls look wack at least they included Pocahontas and Mulan more often. It was rare for Mattel to make Mulan and Pocahontas into barely any doll lines. Yes I’m aware Pocahontas isn’t the right color skin but this year both Hasbro and Disney store fixed it. Above all I believe Disney store has the best interpretation of the Disney princesses for doll lines. The only complain for them is anything high quality is usually automatically LE and they don’t last long.

I don’t love the play line from either hasbro or mattel - BUT the Mattel adult collector dolls (I think the line was called Classic Collection or Signature collection? Depending on where you lived?) are 100x more beautiful than the hasbro weird eyelash dolls. The only one from that line I wasn’t crazy about was Ariel, but they were in the most incredible display boxes, and they did the princes and villains really well, too. They did have plastic molded on gloves but for display that wasn’t really an issue.

So mattel puts glue in the heads to hold the hair together, over time it melts and seeps through the head and gets all in the hair, but also mattels heads r really nice and soft, hasbro puts glue in the heads, but they r rock hard, but also hasbro is so cheap, they don't put much glue in the head, so hair loss can be an issue, so a way to fix a glue seepage issue is baby powder, but it all in the hair in the roots, and leave it there for a few, to 24 hours, and then wash it out with COLD water and condition and you r good! :D

I have the 1990's Belle and then a Disney store 2020 Belle. I love them both. While 2020's is more movie accurate in the face, I liked the semi-realistic face of the 90's Belle as well because not only can she wear Barbie clothes, but she came with both the blue village dress and the gold-yellow ball gown. I am not a fan of any of the Hasbro Belle dolls except for the comfy squad dolls. Great video.

I collect a lot of the 90s/early 2000s Mattel Disney doll head since they have this subtly to them that's really nice but still accurate. I end up rerooting and rebodying them though because the hair quality and lack of articulation is a damper for me.
