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.



Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think of Rapunzel!
