Name: Rapunzel
Nickname: Pun

Age: 6?

Birthday: 10/5

Zodiac Sign: Libra

Gender: Female

Natural hair color : Blonde

Eye Color: Green

Rapunzel is the only daughter born to the King and Queen of a small kingdom in Germany. There was no hiding the fact that Rapunzel's hair was nothing like her parents, who both had dark brown hair. Although as Rapunzel began to talk she would hum a strange song which would cause her hair to glow brightly and heal wounds. However her magical hair also slowed down her aging, so by the time she was four she still looked like a two year old, although she could talk normally. Her hair was also growing at an alarming rate, nearly six inches every week. Her parents did not dare cut it though, because they feared that it would kill the magical properties.

She was always extremely smart for her age and by the time she was biologically six, and looked about four, she realized that she could benefit by looking so young. It was easier to get things that she wanted, as well as get into small spaces. So she began to sing her magical little song more and more throughout the day. Which allowed her to stay in the body of a six year old as she grew. Rapunzel just turned thirteen, yet she still looks like a six year old.

Rapunzel has a very strong personality and is able to manipulate almost anyone into doing what she wants. She is also a bit of a kleptomaniac and enjoys taking little objects that she finds in various places. She also enjoys pranks, which she pulls on almost anyone that she finds suitable. Her pranks are known for being a bit over the top and sometimes even harmful.  Although she comes off a bit selfish and greedy, she is actually a very caring girl. She would never intentionally do something to hurt someone and she hates it when she makes a person sad. When she does something mean, or particularly cruel, she often paints a picture as a present for that person.

There are many things that Rapunzel loves, most importantly dragons and pulling pranks. Besides those, she really loves bugs, flowers, stars, and painting. Especially painting. She can paint almost anything and she enjoys using her tiny fingers instead of a paint brush. She spent one summer charting the entire night sky on the ceiling in her bedroom. Which her parents were not entirely fond of. She could also spend hours reading, one of her favorite books of all time is The Swiss Family Robinson, which she has read probably thirty times.

Because of Rapunzel's sticky fingers she landed herself in a very bad situation, which lead to a group of thugs wanting her head. Which is exactly how she came to live with me. However I will have to leave that story for another time.

Dumpster Dollies Challenge Tag!

This seems like such a fun idea! It also seems like a good way to get creative, which I have been dying to do for a while now! I really hope that I can do this sometime soon because it seems like a blast!

I have never actually customized a doll before, so this might be a nice little introduction for me. I don't think I will have enough money to buy everything for my project in one day, so I might have to gather materials over a few weeks. Which I know is breaking the rules, but it would all still be secondhand and it would all go towards my dumpster doll.

Hopefully I can do this project soon. Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think of this challenge!

Disney Animators' Collection Rapunzel Review!

By a miraculous and completely unexpected turn of events, I now own Rapunzel from the Disney Animators' Collection!

On Saturday I went over to my dad's house, expecting to be hanging out with my little sisters to help with Halloween decorations. Little did I know that my step-mother and sisters had left town on Friday to go to Disney World for the weekend. Which was a pretty crappy thing to do...since they know I have been dying to go for Halloween, but whatever.

I quickly messaged my step-mom and asked her if she would buy me a Rapunzel doll, which I would later pay her back for. She agreed and even said that I didn't have to worry about paying her back! I was so excited and happy that I could NOT wait until they got home the next day! My step-mom even sent me a picture of my Rapunzel after she had been purchased!

Whenever they got home and I saw Rapunzel I wanted to snatch her out of the packaging as quickly as possible, however I didn't want my sisters to think I was staying the night so I calmly waited until I was home to take her out!

Although I had already taken her out of the box, I decided to take a picture of her inside. The box is really pretty and I love all of the different drawings of Rapunzel on the sides.

When I got Rapunzel out of the box I noticed that her eyes were a little messed up, a bit smudged and the whites of her eyes were a little scratched, too. I fixed them with some acrylic paint and now they look a lot better. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of her face before I fixed her eyes.

I absolutely love Rapunzel's hair! It is super pretty, soft and soooo long! She came with some rubber bands in her hair, as well as some hairspray or gel. The rubber bands were easy to take out, however I had to wash her hair to get the gel out! Her hair is very easy to brush through and style, unfortunately her scalp can be seen when her hair is pulled in certain directions. Other than that it should not be too hard to give her all kinds of different hairstyles.

Her dress is really well made and totally adorable. The bodice and the lace are really cute and my favorite pieces of the dress. The only detail I don't like about the dress is the glitter, which doesn't really fit with the rest of the dress.

When I removed her dress I was very happy to see that she did not have any staining from the dress on her body. From reviews that I have seen, this seems to be a big problem with these dolls. Thankfully my Rapunzel did not have any stains at all, although the painting on her "underwear" was a bit uneven.

Overall, I am completely in love with Rapunzel and I would definitely recommend her to anybody that wants a Disney princess doll. She is well-made, cute, and a very unique doll.

I have also posted some videos on my YouTube in case you would like to watch those as well.

Disney Animators' Collection Dolls

I am absolutely in love with these dolls! They are so precious and they capture the young Disney princesses perfectly! Their outfits are so cute, even though some of them just look like tinier versions of their original outfits.

Rapunzel is my favorite from the collection, as you might already know from my Christmas list. Whenever the movie Tangled was released, Rapunzel replaced Ariel as my favorite princess. This doll portrays toddler Rapunzel so perfectly! Her little bare feet and her expression are so adorable!

Of course I have Ariel on my list of favorites, as well! I love her bright red hair and her super cute eyes. Her tail is probably my favorite thing about her, plus the fact that it can be removed. Everything about her is just absolutely adorable!

I would also really like to get Pocahontas and Mulan one day! My least favorites are all of the dolls from the Frozen release, as well as Cinderella and Aurora.

Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think of these dolls, do you love them or hate them?
