Disney's MOANA Doll Haul

Disney's Moana Toddler and Classic Dolls

Hey there! I thought I'd share a couple of new dolls I picked up last week from The Disney Store. Disney's MOANA! I picked up the Moana toddler doll and the Moana Classic doll. I was just on thedisneystore.com and noticed that Disney has also released a Moana Singing Feature Doll Set which I will have to pickup sometime in the near future! I am pretty obsessed with Disney's singing dolls, whether they be 11" or 17". But for now I have these two beautiful dolls!

I remember having seen the commercial for the animated film sometime within the past month or two and I thought it looked like an awesome adventure! I am quite pleased that Disney has created a film with an athletic and adventurous heroine, and a beautiful princess of colour. She is Disney's first Polynesian Princess!

Moana Toddler Doll

Here is the Moana Toddler doll...isn't she just ADORABLE!? I love all of the extra little details that Disney put into her including the flower in her hair and the sand stuck to her feet. Her facial expression is absolutely adorable, and I think she is honestly one of the cutest Disney Toddler dolls. I learned upon purchasing her (from a wonderfully informative Disney Store employee) that the bangs on each Moana doll differ slightly to reflect the Ocean's waves and her connection to the ocean. How cool is that?

Here is a partial unboxing of the Classic Moana doll. She slid easily out of the box, and the cardboard piece that she is attached to actually turns into a boat! The cardboard piece in front was floating in the box and that is supposed to be the boat's sail. Instructions are included on how to put the sail together. The only other accessory she comes with is her paddle.

Moana in Box

Isn't she gorgeous?!

Look at those forearms! At first I thought she was a bit disproportionate because her forearms appeared much larger than her upper arms and shoulders; I then thought perhaps they are larger looking because of the muscle she has gained there due to her sailing and paddling?

I love her raised eyebrow and beautiful smile. She is wearing a pretty burnt orange top with a variety of pattern, and a matching sash tied around her waist. Her skirt is an oatmeal colour with a deep golden floral pattern and a frayed straw-like bottom. It is lovely and represents her cultural heritage as a Pacific Islander.

Moana has thick and sturdy rubber legs and feet. Her arms and hands are articulated, but her legs are not. Her legs are quite moveable, however, and they can be spread wider so she is able to stand upright with little help.

Moana has big, beautiful hair. Her curls are voluminous and very soft.

I am very pleased with both dolls, and am overjoyed to have both of these dolls in my collection. I will have to check out the film when it comes out! :)
