In that regard, I think both brands failed to make a believable 14 year old doll. To be fair though, so did the movie, at least from the images you showed here. The custom DS body is quite nice - they should get the same designer to fix the regular body.BlackKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014093330317682849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-23660927136370477842022-10-30T00:50:06.866-04:002022-10-30T00:50:06.866-04:00If this Mirabel's hair hung over her face a bi...If this Mirabel's hair hung over her face a bit and was more of a tidy bob than it is, she'd look a lot more youthful and accurate. The hair out of box shows too much forehead and splays out too much and looks too long. It's not an easy hair type or style to replicate on a play doll, but it's probably workable.DBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-39208161720160097452022-10-29T21:42:38.666-04:002022-10-29T21:42:38.666-04:00Wow, I have to say the Disney one looks much young...Wow, I have to say the Disney one looks much younger in the face than the previous two dolls!

Her hair is a bit a hit or miss thing. I accidentally got 3 Mirabels from the DS and they all have different lenghts of hair :) But yours look really good :) I also love those new bodies DS and Jakks created for the Encanto girls (and boy ;).

The Disney store does update face molds sometimes, so perhaps they will finally hit the nail on the head with a future Mirabel doll release.

What’s strange is that some of the Disney classic dolls seem to have different and perhaps differently articulated bodies. I am interested in the Raya and the Last Dragon dolls most of all.
