Frozen girls made for the new short, Olaf's Frozen Adventure - part 2 - Anna and her clothes

"Wenn ich tanzen will, dann tanz ich so, wie es mir gefällt"

Literally: If I want to dance, I do it the way I want to do it

From the musical Elisabeth by Lévay & Kunze, song: Wenn ich tanzen will, it's sung by Elisabeth and Death

So I left off with the ties and not telling you why I took one of Annas boots off. Of course to compare it with her other boots. This could be done easily while I put Anna and her headtie aside.

Almost free! I'm almost there, Anna sings

I thought that both pairs of winterboots were based on the same mould. I was wrong. There are more differences than I thought there would be.

The heels are completely different, the older one looks like it has a thicker bottom part.

The soles are not that much different but they choose a new spot for the Disney sign.

The new boot appears to be a bit pointier and has more molded details to make it look like it was sewn together using several pieces. I love those little details, it almost makes them like a Limited Set.

The painted details are pretty as well. The boots themselves are difficult to get on and off, at least for me, since Anna has this new flatfeet-klick knee combination.(Pocahontas has it as well but she runs around barefoot, clever girl)

I took one boot off for the compasion photo but when I managed to put it back on Anna, it was clearly visible which one I had taken off.

Off with the skirt

I didn't only take her boot, but all her clothes as well.

She waits wrapped in a piece of lightblue fabric while the dress is reviewed and the others try it on.

Such a lovely face!

The skirt is nice and wide, made of a material I can't name but it feels a bit leatherly. Her jacket, skirt and Elsas dress is made of the same material. It feels nice and just something they would wear during winter. I love the goat (I think it's a goat but I'm not sure) pattern and the little white circles (I like to think that they are snowballs :) ) that go around at the bottom part of the skirt.

Dolleating skirtplant

This is not the newest dolleating plant, this is the skirt, standing upside down. I thought it looked interesting.

This talented skirt can stand just normally as well.

The sash is very much like the one Kristoff has. Sadly, the short ends are not finished so it needs careful treatment. It's even more sad that I don't have Kristoff so I can't compare the sashes.

Annas top is all on piece, no separate jacket and top and the sash is sewn to it as well.

I tried to photograph the structure of it, I'm not sure if I succeeded. This piece closes on the backside with velcro, just like the skirt.

Fake fur ornament at the shoulders and at the neck

It has lots of details for example on the shoulder part,

Look at those little buttons

the sleeves, the sash itself, the front.

Under the jacket Anna has a very detailed  and nice top made of the same material Disneystore doll clothes are usually made of.

It is a darker blue and there is also a holiday brosh (I think) that adds the finishing touch to that outfit. We worked all out way up from the boots to the top, now it's the headpieces turn!

It's a bit bigger than in the animated short but I don't mind, since this way they were able to add more details. It is a beautiful piece with moulded and beautifully painted white and red details on the green base color. And for the first time they did the braid that runs across her head for a classic Anna doll. It's beautiful.

Yes, that's the tie I wasn't able to cut properly

The whole updo was done in a different way, they made a ponytail and tucked it in, if that makes sense. Something like Cinderellas hairstyle in the animated moviewhen she gets her ballgown from the Fairy Godmother.

She has this new facemold that took me a while to get used to. First I thought she just looks very silly. But I saw more and more pictures of her and now I think she's cute.

She has freckles, big blue eyes, pink lips and rosy cheeks. Annas recent dolls had greenish blue eyes but this doll has clear blue eyes with eyelashes both over and under her eyes. Now let's compare the two faces, Dolly is here and ready to help out.

The new Anna has a slightly bigger mouth, her smile is the mirror image of the older Annas smile, it is loopsided in the other direction, if that makes sense. The bangs are differnt and done better on the new doll in my opinion. Older Anna has slightly lighter haircolor while newer Anna has a lighter lipcolor. The profiles are very different as well.

They are both great representations of Anna in my opinion.
Anna was kind enough to lend Anna, aka Dolly, her outfit.

I think it looks great on her but as one of the sleeves is tigher thatn the other, I wasn't able to put it properly on her. :( I wonder how I'll put it back on Anna. But before that, Kiki borrowed the dress as well. Blue is Elsas color so I thought it would look good on her.

She had the same issue with the same sleeve. I'm not a good doll dresser, I had issues with the icedress as well. In return for lending her dress, new Anna got to try on Victoria's ice dress.

Here I stand

I think it looks good with her red hair, my family thinks it looks much better on Elsa.
I'm not sure how much switching I'll be doing with new Elsas dress, as I don't want to ruin her dress - she is a gift for a dear friend. It was actually her idea to try on Annas holiday outfit on Elsa.

When we're together

The third part will be about Elsa!

31. 12. 2017 Update: my sister managed to pull Annas hand through that sleeve and she won't take off that outfit anymore. :)

Hasbro Little Kingdom - Fashion Change Belle

"Wenn ich dein Spiegel wär,
dann würdest du dich in mir sehn"

Literally: If I were your mirror, you could see yourself in me ( Rudolf asking his mother for help)

 from the musical Elisabeth, by Lévay and Kunze

Another princess joined my Little Kingdom, this time it's Belle, another of my favourite princesses. I made a rule for myself, only one set is allowed every month. Anna was the March princess, Belle is the April princess. I plan an Elsa and and a Merida for May and June, sometime a Rapunzel and if I ever find one Mulan of course. And Pocahontas. And... and... and all of them!
But right now, Belle is here to be inspected. This set is part of the fashion change series, fashion change Cinderella and fashion change Tiana and more are already out there.

Belle comes in her signature yellow dress and brings her blue townoutfit along. And of course a heap of books as her headpiece. Her snapin is Chip the teacup. There is a little mirror as well and it has a handle so the little ladies can hold it. To tell the truth, Anna did better with holding it than Belle, their arms are posed differently. The mirror can't be fastened to a dress but it is a nice little prop for them to have. :)

On the backside, there is a picture of Belle in both outfits and of course and explanation how the mix and match and how the snapins work. Also some warnings, since these princesses are really small. Not suitable for younger children, I'd say 5 years and up instead of 3 and up.
She comes with the same little pamphlet that shows most of what's available. Since this set was made, new sets came out, like Pocahontas.

Belles artwork shows this girl with her nose stuck in a book as usual and she wears her golden ballgown. I think any other dress would work better with the reading pose but that might be just me beeing picky.
Let's free Belle! She has a simple packaging, a cardboard back and some transparent plastic.

She is secured with one big tie across her torso. Those roses on her dress are pretty!

Her background is the bridge Maurice crosses on his way to the fair.
I turned the plastic around so I could get her out more easily and I saw that she has some nice details moulded into her hair and her dress as well. The roses on the backside are not painted. It's the same as with Anna, the backside is a bit plainer but the moulded patterns are there, so if someone wants to decorate and paint it, it would not be a problem.  But I won't try that. :) I would mess it all up.

Her hair is longer than in the movie, more like her redesign hairstyle.

She has a broad smile on her face that reminds me a bit of Rapunzel. Now, here she is, all free, let's do some fashion changing. The top parts of her skirts are really interesting, since the yellow one has an apronlike mould and her actual apron, the white part of the extra dress is moulded to look like the top part of her ballgown. I think this is a great idea, really giving some sense to mixing the dresses.

Belles apron turned yellow

I think the white top and yellow bottom part make a nicer skirt than the yellow apron blue skirt combination but everyone to his or her own tastes. :)

Now, let's get Anna, aka Dori, to take part in the fun.

She lends Belle her crown to complete a princessy look. But books are more like Belle. Dori helps with showing off the outfits. The yellod outfit doesn't actually have a bodice, it's only a shoulderpiece and Belles painted on 'bathing suit' completes the dress.

I think it looks quite nice with a black bodice as well. The blue outfit comes with a complete top, a white blouse under the top part of the dress.

Books and Blue

I think it looks a bit like the top part of Ariels blue outfit. But this one has short poofy sleewes and the other two have long sleeves.

Snow Belle

This makes Belles outfit look a bit like Snow Whites signature outfit: short poofy sleeves, a blue bodice and a yellow skirt (a bit shorter than Snows but I won't be that strict. :) ) and even little yellow painted on shoes, the same color as Snow Whites. My other idea is a little girl ready to go to the playground. As you can see, she can stand quite well on her own. Her hair is in her way both when she tries to turn her head and when she tries to sit down but her posability is impressive for her size. She's a little beauty!
And one last thought. When those two girls stand next to each other wearing the outfits they came in, it looks like Anna is a little bit chubbier than Belle, because Anna wears a whole bodice while Belle only a shoulderpiece. One can play a bit around with the build of the girls as well, how cool is that? And with such tiny little princesses!

Anna holds her head high up, Belle can't do that because of her long hair

Here is a photo for you to check it. :)
Owerall she is is a really nice addition to my little kingdom and it is fun to play with her, especially that there is another girl to give some stuff to mix and match. I'm not sure how well they hold up to play though. I advise everybody to be careful while dressing and mixing and matching.
Two more mix and match pictures, just for fun. :) Oh and I forgot to introduce her, she is Isabelle, Belle for short.

Dori looks good in blue and she can actually hold the mirror

color is apron, form is ballgown

Update: I added a photo comparing Anna and Belle in their original outfits so you can see the difference between their build caused by the bodice. :) I made that one later so it looks quite different.
Next member of Little Kingdom is going to be Merida and her playful adventures set. :)
