Mattel Disney The Little Mermaid Vanessa Fashion Doll in Signature Purple Dress, Toys Inspired by The Movie

The package was a bit ripped on arrival, but ok .

I'm not familiar with the movie but as a hybrid doll collector I like her face and hair. The dress is lovely too and well made. Beautiful shoes and love the shell necklace. Unfortunately she does not move very much as she is not articulated which is a shame. Nice as a display doll but not much play value.

Exquisite doll. Beautiful and ladylike. Very expensive looking dress. Vibrancy of colour is amazing. The dolls skin tone and hair is beautiful.

So beautiful thank you

A beautiful doll with calm expression, no trace of the villainess of the heroine from the animated film. The face is finely drawn, there is no pixelation. She has beautiful, thick and soft hair in big waves. She is petite, but she would look good with a standard height body too. The size of the feet is larger than that of a standard Barbie. The dress is made of translucent fabric with lining, the shoes have heels.

Lo q' más me gustó, fue su cara preciosa

great

I actually haven't watched the movie, but this doll caught my attention because of how pretty she is and when she arrived I wasn't disappointed. She has pretty features and one of the main things I liked was the smaller scale of her face. The face size is comparable to the Barbie Looks series of dolls as opposed to the exaggerated features usually in play line like Fashionistas. She does have a little pixelation, the most noticable bit on the sides of her lips, but it's mild enough I can overlook. Hair was a bit kinked out of box but very soft and non-greasy. Her hair is a medium brown with some subtle lighter tones mixed in. As for the body, it is a petite frame with larger feet, even bigger than curvy size feet (I hear it's the size feet they made specifically for Disney dolls). Doll can be stood on it's own. I did find there were cracks/bad seams along both sides of the torso. Dress is well made, though part of it is made with tulle, so you just have to be a bit careful to avoid snagging, especially since it's tagged to the box when you first open it. The shell necklace is nice and the shoes are simple but cute black pumps. I read in the reviews that the Asian tennis player was a good match so I rebodied her to that and it is indeed a good match. Also in my opinion the head looks much more proportional on the MTM body. However, oddly enough, the reverse is not true. Not only does it look a bit comical with the tennis player head looking so big compared to the body, but the skin tone is noticeably different between the head and the body. For anyone wondering, Vanessa can still wear her dress in the new body, only her sleeves look a bit short. The shoes won't work though. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. You can also see in the photos how she looks after a clothes change and washing/conditioning/combing her hair.
