There has even been a petition asking Disney to reconsider the changes as many parents see Merida as a more positive role model for their daughters. While the hair looks and feels very thick, the rooting is almost exclusively done around the edges of the doll's hairline. I finally just held the hair together until it looked natural, threaded a hand needle with black thread, and loosely stitched her hair clumps together.

I hope you'll manage to find more dolls from the series and show pictures, it's interesting to see how different versions compare.Because this is the “Classic” doll and not the deluxe version or whatever, the dress isn’t as embellished as in the movie, and the waist sash isn’t a true belt, being sewn onto the sides of the dress instead of wrapping all the way around. Tangled is a movie I’m actually not really a fan of; I watched it once when I wanted something on while I was sculpting, and that was probably the only time I’ll ever view it. Even after tying her hair together with a ribbon for months it still springs back into two unattractive clumps.

One of my doll's knees broke on the first day of play, making me wonder why Disney wouldn't have invested a bit more time in trying to perfect the newer plastic legs. She has a sly half smile that could just be the result of uneven paint, but it has a wonderful effect. Rapunzel is secured to the cardboard with a wire tie around her feet and plastic ties in her head and in her dress. The only upside of this style of foot is that some of the miscellaneous shoes in my stash actually fit them; there’s one pair of (Barbie?Her dress is another shortcut version of the movie dress that looks fine but still falls short of the dress on the original Disney Rapunzel doll. None of the Rapunzel dolls seem to quite capture the spunk of the movie character and that glitter would drive me nuts! I'm not 100% if your doll is doing this but my gothel's bald spot is highlighted because her hair was tied into two pigtails when they packaged her in the box. The way the box is made you have to destroy it to get the doll out, which is fine since the box is hardly something anybody but a serious hoarder would want to hold on to.

These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. I put it up into a knot and I don't know how I managed it (sometimes I just try some weird stuff with my doll's hair and it ends up looking fabulous) but it looks really awesome now.

I hope I can keep up your posts from now on, soon summer break wil start and then I'll have all the time of the world! In the movie, Gothel keeps the young girl locked in the tower so she can use Rapunzel’s magical hair as her own personal fountain of youth. I have a box of Liv and Bratz doll “bits” and have been considering patching together a monster of my own, so it’d be nice to get input from someone who has attempted it.
