I regretted it soooo much. DX I had to pay $40 for one online. But when I got him, I was like "ALL IS FORGIVEN". He is just too freaking adorable. Your doll has A LOT of freckles compared to mine and my sister's. And I'm also hoping they make DAC's for the princes. I would do back flips for a little Naveen, Aladdin, the Prince, Philip, and "Adam" AKA the Beast.

Like I said, I don't really mind it. :)<br /><br />I hadn't thought about that issue with the DS Kristoff fashion doll. I guess I figured they'd just use the standard body so all the dolls could share clothing. That would have been really neat if he would have come with a slightly larger body, though. :)<br /><br />I think it's so sad that people thought he was "fat". I think that's a bit harsh. Sure, he was stockier, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him fat. I actually loved the fact that he wasn't the typical perfectly muscular Disney prince. It just added to the charm and wonderful message of the movie to me. :) <br /><br />Hi sailingintheark. I'm happy with the decision of plastic hair, too. I think with male dolls it's easier to make the hair look more like the movie when it's plastic instead of "real". :)<br /><br />In my experience, the shoes from the Disney Princess Toddler dolls made by Jakks Pacific fit them. I have pictures of my DAC Belle wearing bedtime slippers from the line in this post here (you'll have to copy and paste): http://nevergrowupdollguide.blogspot.com/2012/10/disney-animators-collection-dac-belle.html<br /><br />I don't know if full shoes would fit in the same way. These ones were open in the back, so that might have helped with the fit. Also, this might not be all that helpful anyway because Jakks Pacific is no longer making the Toddler Princess dolls. They're now being made by TollyTots: http://www.tollytots.com/myfirstdisneyprincess/<br /><br />The proportions to the TollyTots and Jakks Pacific dolls seem to be the same, so you might keep your eye out for these dolls at the thrift store and see if they still have their shoes. <br /><br />I hope this helps at least a little! :)<br /><br /> Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-11621871361950183072014-02-21T13:23:19.827-08:002014-02-21T13:23:19.827-08:00Kristoff is so cute, and I think his plastic hair ...Kristoff is so cute, and I think his plastic hair looks nice - I agree that "real" hair on boy dolls usually doesn't look very good.<br /><br />I have a question for you, since we're on the subject of the DAC dolls, if you don't mind. I found a DAC Aurora at the thrift store for a good price so I bought her. She came with all her clothes, surprisingly, except for shoes. Do you happen to know if one of the other doll lines' shoes would happen to fit her? I don't have any other large size dolls except for A Girl for All Time, so I don't have any way to easily compare. You seem so knowledgeable I thought you might know, but if you don't, it's perfectly OK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-51801058515071450492014-02-20T21:35:47.393-08:002014-02-20T21:35:47.393-08:00@beastbelle
hmm, I guess you're right about th...@beastbelle<br />hmm, I guess you're right about the hair part but Kristoff's hair is pretty long(for a boy) but then again I really can't imagine little girls styling his hair because he's,well,a boy.Little boys hate getting their hair fixed(based from personal experience) so I think it was a budget saving move from Disney.<br /><br />and about the kristoff fashion doll,I was actually talking about the disney store's. They used a regular prince body on him and they kinda cheated his body shape with fabric instead of making a bulkier body for him(ya know,he was a bit fat in the promo pics to some people)Ampyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03853598603603957328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-25325184217239295582014-02-20T13:33:55.140-08:002014-02-20T13:33:55.140-08:00misspiggy=awesome, I think they're adorable to...misspiggy=awesome, I think they're adorable together, too. ;)<br /><br />Hi Anonymous...I'll try to remember to add a picture of Kristoff with an AG doll later on in this post if I can. :)<br /><br />Hi Ampy. I think Kristoff looks fine in his gloves and gear, but I would definitely love to see Disney come up with a different body if they do future DAC boy releases.<br /><br />I didn't notice anything with the Kristoff fashion doll...unless you're talking about the Mattel version with painted-on clothes and a rather goofy facial expression. :}<br /><br />It's funny...I know a lot of people prefer real hair on their male dolls, but I actually don't mind the fact that Kristoff has plastic hair. Real hair on a male doll can be difficult to pull off. At least this way his hair looks movie accurate. :)<br /><br />Have a great day.
