Oh Cinderella’s original animation was silver/ white! They just changed it in marketing/ public perception by always depicting her in blue because they couldn’t market small white dresses to children ( too close to wedding dresses). I do agree the black belt isn’t great.

I am a mermaid performer and have made and worn headpieces similar to the one on Ariel so it makes perfect sense to me. Also if you look closer it’s actually seahorses and shells, not wings.

smol - We believe those are 'Angel-wing' clamshells (which would make sense for Ariel's costume)...and the longer tulle overskirt is meant to evoke a 'fluffy seafoam', as it glides out of the water and up onto the sand (IMO, of course). I think it's quite pretty, in an avant-garde way.... 🌊

I just found the extra mini with the purple bear outfit and she’s so so cute! I’m not an expert on telling which type of hair it is, but I will say that the rooting ones it is pretty nice. The elbows and knees can bend, and it’s so fun having a tiny doll with a little more articulation.

I'm 38, and "40-year-olds who think they're young" is completely true, and describes a critical doll designer error I've watched tank so many lines for the past 20+ years. At least the RH clothes look like real clothes, so many lines have been a hot mess of dated trends and older adult styles nobody would ever wear together.

The disney designer dolls typically aren't meant to match the film, that is for the larger 17" dolls (which are fancier versions but still movie accurate). More often than not, the 13" dolls are meant to be simply inspired by the movie, character, or fairytale, and are supposed to simply represent high fashion and our favorite characters on the red carpet, think like the met gala. It's fine if it isn't your cup of tea but its important to understand they are not trying to be movie-accurate which can help us form a better judgment of the doll. Since every doll is so different and experimental, I love how these dolls can inspire some polarizing opinions and create discussions about the inspiration behind the art of the design. I loved jasmine so I got her, but I hated Pocahontas. I personally really like the ariel doll, and I take it to represent the birth of venus, which is greco/roman, which would explain the puff of tulle in the back which I take to be the back of the seashell. Also, in the original fairytale "the little mermaid", she dies and then flies out of the seafoam (or becomes the seafoam depending on the version) so I think this also pays an interesting homage to that. I think this could explain the wings (flying and roman) as well. I haven't figured out whether she is worth the money to me yet, but I do think playline collectors need to chill about the prices of collectors dolls. Often playline collectors will spend the same amount of money as high-end collectors since the price point may be a bit cheaper, but they buy many many more dolls. Consider how buying all 6 winter break rainbow high dolls put you out $228 or the sleepover and rockstars would cost $300 to get them all. How many $30 LOL OMGS have come out this year? All doll collectors are spending a LOT of money to make their collections happen so let's try and not shame the prices some are willing to pay, some people just get fewer dolls and are very happy with that. I personally get a mix of both so I see both sides of the coin. This isn't directly targeting anyone, and I loved the video overall btw, but I was just reminded of it since a lot of people are complaining about the price of this doll.

I think the long skirt of the Ariel doll is supposed to be an artistic representation of a mermaid's tail fin which are see through. So the short skirt might be representing the base of the tail where the fin grows out. I think she's a lovely doll and her outfit is beautiful in it's artistic representations of a fin and the water. I think the ear wings are fine but that's because I'm an artist and I draw all my mermaids with ear fin-wings so this is a normal look to me. I'm not fond of the seashell purse. It's very creative but it feels out of place with the whole outfit. Maybe if it had been a small shell clutch or short strap handbag instead of a long strap bag I wouldn't be so bothered. It just sticks out strangely.

I'll probably be getting the extra minis for rebody or repaint purposes. More than 5 points articulation in a doll that size is so rare. If I didn't want to customize them they'd be a huge no though, the fashion is awful and those eyebrows are too much. There are dolls like Hardorables or Angel High in that size range that are much cuter.
