Yesterday we celebrated Eva’s birthday with a party at Plaster Plus so the kids could paint items, have pizza and enjoy some Princess and the Frog themed cupcakes. Eva loves her Disney Princesses and now Disney’s latest heroine, Rapunzel is being added to the mix. Rapunzel is the star of the upcoming Disney movie called Tangled. It stars Mandy Moore and Zach Levi as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider respectively. While we were visiting Disney we were able to see a bunch of great concept art for the movie. I look forward to seeing the movie and think that maybe this movie might be Eva’s first trip to the movie theater. There are also a bunch of great new toys from Mattel to go along with the movie.
I was given some Rapunzel toys to review and the first one is the Disney’s Tangled Rapunzel Collectible Small Doll Assortment. This is a small toy that contains a little Rapunzel doll and two additional cloth outfits to change into and a brush for that super long hair. The great thing about this toy is that Eva can easily change the clothes herself. Also, Rapunzel is the same size as some other Disney Princess toys that Eva has so they can interact with each other. Eva already has Belle, Jasmine, Aurora and Cinderella. Now with Rapunzel added to the collection Eva can get to know another new character and share clothes across the kingdom of Disney Princesses.
Rapunzel comes with long, long hair and it gets easily tangled so that is one thing to think about when buying this doll. The solution in our house was to braid Rapunzel’s hair so that Eva could play with the toy without us having to cut off her (Rapunzel’s) hair. The doll has movable head, arms, and legs. There is good detail on the face and body. A good feature is that Rapunzel has a top and bottom painted on, sort of like a one piece bathing suit. Eva can change the skirts of Rapunzel quickly and easily. The best thing is that there are painted on shoes, no little parts to lose. Eva has really enjoyed playing with Rapunzel so far and Rapunzel has already gone through many costume changes.
Disclosure: I was provided with this toy to review. Opinions are 100% mine.
So excited Disney is doing Rapunzel! And especially that Zachary Levi is in it. Love him!
Melissa,
I am personally looking forward to this movie, I love the idea and the trailer looks great.
We have the Cinderella for Moyra and Amelie. I like that the clothes are painted on and the shoes. Lose tiny shoes would be a pain. Glad to hear they are making Rapunzel.
Deborah,
Eva has been getting a bunch of these based on her doing well while potty training. She still has Snow White, Tiana and Ariel to earn to make a full set of princesses.
