'Flamingo' from the Tonner Doll Convention.A Review of Hayden's House.as the Last of the Li.

The dresses are also different, but both are clearly recognizable as Rapunzel dresses: The newer doll does not have any accessories, and her hair is only about 12 inches long and tinsel-free. Some things to note even before I get anyone out of the box: the original Rapunzel comes with Pascal the chameleon, a paint brush, a hair brush and 17 inches of hair with sparkly tinsel in it. I ordered the newer version and in this review I'll de-box the newer doll and compare her to the older Rapunzel.and I'll also compare her to the Ever After wedding version of the same doll.ĭisney original 12' Rapunzel doll (L) and the current version (R) I was looking at the Disney Store the other day and noticed that the newer version of this Rapunzel doll is actually a bit different from the original. I immediately bought one for myself, of course, but for some reason I have never taken her out of the box. When Tangled first came out, my niece got one of the $12.50 12' Disney Store Rapunzel dolls, and I was very surprised and impressed by the doll's articulation and quality. I prefer the Disney Store version of Rapunzel, mostly because her face is unique and more reminiscent of the quirky movie character. What about a Rapunzel doll in a more affordable price range? Well, both Mattel and the Disney Store have a variety of 12' Rapunzel dolls based on the movie, and these range in price from just under $13 to about $30. Anyway, the Tonner company redeemed itself big time with the Disney Showcase Tangled Rapunzel, but she's pretty expensive. She was nothing like the exquisite FAO Schwarz Cinderella Rose exclusive. Her hair was thin and uneven and her outfit was of poor quality for such a pricey collector's doll. This doll was expensive ($200) and massively disappointing. As a bit of an aside, the first Rapunzel doll I ever bought was actually Robert Tonner's 16' Rapunzel, who was an FAO Schwarz exclusive in 2008 (way before the Disney movie). I'd like to review a few more of the Rapunzel dolls I bought during my crazed Tangled obsession last month.
