Hasbro Disney Princess Dolls - As expected...
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2015 7:44 amI just saw the new promo photos for Hasbro's upcoming line of Princess dolls!
They are exactly as I expected from Hasbro. Short and Chibi-looking (BIG heads, tiny bodies) just like the Equestria Girls dolls, so I'm not disappointed as many other Disney doll collectors are. Hasbro is attempting to match the stylization of Monster High and Ever After High.
I don't love them but they cute...ish.....and very different for my collection, so on the onset, I'm pleased enough with them. (Only I really hope they have matching prince dolls---I see Kristoff....please have Hans, too!)
However, I can see that they won't be good dolls for customizing/ooak in future for commission work. I hope Mattel retains selling their 1/6 princess line as well, just for that reason.
But, if not, maybe the Hasbro heads are comparable in size to normal 11" 1/6 scale dolls and we can just use the heads for ooak projects, mounting them on normal sized bodies. (Obitsu, Mattel, Volks, etc)
Anyway, their faces/sculpts are very cute/pretty, and, more like the characters than Mattel's sad attempts. Not as accurate as Disney Store's sculpts, but really not bad, especially if rebodied if one doesn't like them 'chibi-style' as they come.
They also have a few 'deluxe' versions in the works that I find just silly....but here they are, too:
