I Just Can't Walk Away

Okay, let's try and do this. Comcast is still a useless bag of dicks but maybe I can finagle something to work properly if I try. We'll find out. If nothing else, let's have it on tap for when that moment comes.
eta: WOO. Let's do this!

Anyway. AG introduced their AG|Disney Core line with three Disney Princesses not decked out in costly crystals. Before you ask, AG is saying there's no current plan to add the original three princesses (Belle, Jasmine, and Punzie) to the new Core line but I personally see no world in which AG doesn't try for that at some later date because they said no plan currently. LOOPHOLES, BITCH. Sorry. But AG is forever saying there's no plan currently for stuff we KNOW they have plans for so I'm telling myself we'll eventually get a Punzie redux if I wait patiently. Nothing beyond hopes, prayers, and the reading of loopholes on that.

So. Tiana, Ariel, and Cinderella debuted and my opinions are still a mixed bag, honestly. I think AG did a pretty good job of covering their bases when it came to outfit options and even the people who don't love this release do seem to have a few stars in their eyes, so overall I'm giving AG a solid A for this one, but there are some... issues. We'll get there soon enough. No more stalling, we're jumping into the deep end.

( Princesses don't require crystals to shine. )

In general, I'd say AG did very well on something a lot of people have been hoping and begging for for years. It's not all to my taste, but I'm not a hardcore Disney person nor am I a little girl so my opinion doesn't really matter all that much. Overall, huzzah.

But uh, whoever said "Nanea mold for Ariel!", I'd like a word out back please.

Sooooooo... already did the Descendant's Amazon link post... However, I like to have the pictures handy for when links no longer work, so I figured I'd post a few of each and blather on about them because it's what I do.

In general, I'm cautiously hopeful about the line. I want to like the dolls I've ordered and I want to want more. That said, when the promo pictures make the doll hair look like a hot mess, it does not inspire any confidence in me that we're not going to end up with Bratz hair. And not the good kind, we're talking the kind that frizzes and does awful things if you so much as look at it funny. So... Bratz after the Mattel lawsuit battles, I guess? Or maybe Bratzillaz, didn't they have awful hair? I dunno, I never caved because the eye wonk was strong in that line.


Also, I'm dying that they include the shoes in the traditional accessories spot like the shoes are extra special accessories. Oh, Hasbro... you have so much to learn.


We're going in semi order of interest by type. So two packs will be together, sigs, and coronation dolls.

We begin with the Coronation dolls because in general I'm meh about them and at $25.99 (Amazon's price, so it could be lower when they appear elsewhere) I shouldn't be meh.

( So many pictures. So many. )
