New Couture de Force Statues Revealed

Some new additions of characters have been revealed in the Couture de Force Collection, a series of statues that began by mixing Disney Leading Ladies and high fashion details.

Custom Jessica Rabbit Gifts - Masks By Pirates Quarters

I've happened across so many great artists who have created custom Jessica Rabbit pieces for sale that I want to pass on their information to you - in case you're looking for a gift for yourself, or for the Jessica fan who seems to have it all by now.

A few years ago I came across fantastic a artist, Denise of Pirates Quarters, selling custom made Disney inspired masks. I was incredibly impressed with her selection and how well they were made. I asked if she would be able to create a Jessica Rabbit mask for me - and she did! You can learn a lot more about her if you read this In The Spotlight article, which gives you a closer look at her talents and the creation of the Jessica Rabbit mask. She has been busily at work on new creations and isn't afraid to tackle your custom order. This is an amazing mask, and shows the depth of talent Denise possesses. If you are looking for something unique for a holiday gift, pay her Etsy store a visit today!

13 Jessica Rabbit Halloween Pins #13

Title: Jessica Rabbit Halloween Costume Jumbo Series 2007
Released: October 8 2007 on Disney's Website
Price: $14.95 each
Limited Edition: 250 each

LISTEN WELL, I'M JUST DRWAN THAT WAY! Unlike Jessica Rabbit Halloween pins before 2007, the pins in this series were jumbo sized - and it was the first year that Jessica got to dress as some of Disney's most memorable characters. I did manage to get Jessica Rabbit as Maleficent the day it was released. How I got it I don't know, but it's now THE most sought after Jessica Halloween pin, and Maleficent has become a very popular Disney character. Ending the 13 Creepy, Kooky, Spooky Jessica Rabbit Halloween Pins countdown is Jessica Rabbit as Maleficent. She is fully dressed as the evil fairy from Sleeping Beauty. This is a great pin and I never thought Jessica could make Maleficent look so good! She's decked out in the full black and purple costume, horns and magic staff. This pin did sell out fast the same day.

Maleficent 17 Inch Doll Revealed

The highly anticipated Sleeping Beauty 17 Inch Heirloom Collection has been revealed - offering one surprise doll. While it was expected Maleficent would be offered in the series, there was still debate if Prince Phillip would be offered. This speculation came after seeing the first male 17 inch doll made last year with Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. Prince Phillip will be part of the series - as well as Aurora in a blue version of her dress.

All the characters available this season are Anna, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, Jessica Rabbit, Tinker Bell, Mulan, Mary Poppins and Elsa.

Normally pins are made available to order through Disney Merchandise Guest Services after 30 days of its release - but since these are Open Edition pins they may be available to order now.

Sleeping Beauty 17 Inch Doll Revealed

The Disney Store Facebook page has revealed the first image of the Sleeping Beauty Limited Edition Aurora doll. They also released a "behind the scenes" image on their Instagram. The doll will be available to pre-order in select stores starting on Monday, July 28th and also online on Tuesday, July 29th. It will be a Limited Edition of 5,000 and should sell for $119. Rumor has it that a Maleficent doll is on the way, and people are optimistic for Prince Phillip after the first male 17" doll, Prince Eric, was release with The Little Mermaid.

Disney Fairytale Designer Collection 2 Revealed

The Disney Designer dolls went in a different direction in 2013 with the new Fairytale Collection. The first Fairytale series included Jasmine and Aladdin, Snow White and The Prince, Eric and Ariel, Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel and Flynn. People picked out their favorites - and certain things they did and didn't like about each couple - but all dolls sold out and proved to be rather successful. Ariel and Eric were the most popular couple, selling out in a very short time. After the first five couples, there was a lot of speculation if a second series of dolls would be released - since it was an off year for the D23 Convention, and since it seemed a lot of the more popular Princesses were released in the first series.

All five couples in Series Two of the Designer Fairytale Collection have now been reveled thanks to the Disney Store's Blog The Buzz and people are again choosing which couple is their favorite, making note of Disney's great style with this series. Now, it's only high hopes that a possible Leading Ladies Designer Series may come out - as people still want to see different characters AND the survival of the Designer Collection as a whole. New characters like Merida, Anna, Elsa are still wanted in Designer form - and others like Sally, Alice, Esmeralda, Megara and of course Jessica Rabbit would look great with a Designer Collection treatment.

There should be more news on the series soon, here is Disney's official announcement:
"Last year, Disney Store unveiled the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection, a beautifully crafted assortment of products designed to capture the essence of “happily ever after” at its best and celebrate iconic Disney Princess characters and their leading men.

We are excited to officially announce a continuation of the collection with product featuring additional Disney Princess characters, anchored by five Limited Edition Doll Sets that include Tiana and Naveen; Pocahontas and John Smith; Cinderella and Prince Charming; Mulan and Li Shang; and Briar Rose and Prince Phillip."
