>>5236376Yeah I feel you anon.
Truth be told I did not buy this set for the Ariel doll for the same reasons you listed. I hate these new modern day dolls with their shiny/greasy faces. That conservative shirt they gave her just to save money on creating a fancy bra for her kills me and unless you take her out of the box you can't even see her hair or the rock shes sitting on from the front. The tail is really nothing special. It looks like an art project anyone could do if they bought a normal classic doll and just glued the scales on themselves. The fins aren't really all that impressive.
I did on the other hand buy it for the Ursula doll. I'm a really REALLY big fan of the Ursula character, Devin, aka (the inspiration for the character) and Pat Carrol aka (Ursulas voice actress).
Not only is she my favorite Disney Villain shes also my favorite Disney character period.
Only thing that bummed me out about the Ursula doll is that she is THE ONLY female doll in this doll line that DOES NOT have rutted eye lashes. That's totally disrespectful in my book. The black body also seem to be made out of pleather which I'm sure will crack and self deteriorate over time as well. Even when I was at the store and put my name in the hat to win this set I was still thinking about skipping it. I ended up buying it for fear that I'd regret not getting it later on and than see it on sites like ebay in a few years being sold by scalpers for $400 to $600.
