...you know you're too old for this when upon reading this topic you find yourself asking 'What about tyco?!'
But then again they only did the little mermaid then everything went right to mattel...then it keeps flip-flopping every ten years or so.
Unfortunately when I think of disney store I think of the earlier, first editions...especially ariel, ugh, I find her at goodwill all the time. I think they used like, one head mold for all those dolls and none of them looked anywhere near close to the characters. I haven't seen the newer ones so much. Mattel was always my fav though, especially their '97 Ariel dolls...they were spot on, I don't know why they changed the head molds they never were quite the same. Not altogether bad, but not as nice either. I'll have to look into the newer disney stores ones since they seem to be getting a lot of love!
I didn't realize Hasbro had the license...again, doesn't surprise me that they tweaked it so much, that's their thing after all. Not terrible...but yet off looking.
anyways sorry to bump up an older topic, I just found every ones thoughts interesting.
